EASTERN STATE PENITENTIARY
The following EVP's were obtained at Eastern State Penitentiary.

1) This EVP was obtained by PGHA member Sharon G. during an investigation of ESP. Rachel and Sharon had been in the rotunda waiting for the rest of the group to return from Death Row which is located outside of the building and behind the prison. As they waited and talked until the others returned Sharon heard someone walk up behind her from cellblock 6 (her back was to it). When she turned around no one was there. So, she said to Rachel, "since we are waiting, let's do some recording". Rachel agreed and they did so. They stood in the middle of the rotunda both looking down block 4 with night vision while they recorded. As they stood there asking questions they heard a loud noise coming from block 3. It was so loud that it actually made them jump because it was so unexpected. It gave them the impression that the door had been opened and had dragged against the floor. When they looked the door was indeed slightly open. But, they could not say for sure if that was the source of the sound or if the door was even closed all the way prior to this incident (Rachel thought she was sure it was closed before). Either way, a few more foosteps could be heard in the area but yet they could see no one. In this EVP you will hear Rachel say: "Hello, come out into the hall where I can see you. I'm here waiting for you". You will then hear the loud sound that they heard.

JIM THORPE
The following EVP's were obtained in Jim Thorpe Pa. All EVP were obtained at the Inn of Jim Thorpe unless otherwise noted.

2) This EVP was obtained by PGHA member Andy K. with his digital recorder during our groups investigation at The Inn at Jim Thorpe. While on the vacant fourth floor, Andy and I (Sharon) kept smelling a citrus perfume smell that reminded us of oranges. There was nothing on the entire floor that could have been responsible for the smell. Yes, we looked. Besides that, the entire fourth floor was used sort of as a storage area and looked as it may have many decades ago. So, as you can imagine, this is not an area that is cleaned too often. Also, some of the others members said that they too had smelled the "oranges" off and on throughout the night. On the tape you can hear Andy say, "Hello. Smelled your perfume. Is anyone here?" and right after that you hear someone say "No, no one's here!" Listen to Andy ask his questions in the beginning and then listen to the answer he receives.
No, no one's here!


3) This EVP was obtained during our groups investigation of the inn. In one of the rooms on the second floor, Andy and Sharon stood discussing  whether or not the room next door was adjoined to the one they were in. Unsure of this fact they decided to leave to go check it out. As soon as they stepped out of the room you can hear a man's voice say "No, don't leave". EVP captured by PGHA member Andy K.
"No, don't leave"


4) This EVP was obtained during our last seminar in November (2002). Our son attended with us so we decided to allow him to ask some questions in our room. The room we were staying in happened to be the same room where we got our "No, no one's here today" EVP (above) a few years ago before the fourth floor was renovated. You will hear our son ask: "What is your name?" You will then hear an answer. We believe it says: "Frank"

22) This EVP was captured by PGHA President and Cofounder Lewis Gerew at the Wheatfield in Gettysburg, PA. While using his digital recorder, which is voice activated, he captured this entire phrase: "Take the guns out of the hands of the enemy". This EVP is exceptionally clear as compared to what would be considered the norm. Special Note: The word 'guns' was typically not used during the Civil War in reference to pistols or muskets. 'Guns' was usually used in reference to the cannons. It was not uncommon for a brigade to over-run another and turn their own weapons against them.
"Take the Guns"

23) The following EVP was obtained by PGHA President and Cofounder Lewis Gerew. The area in which we were investigating is not heavily investigated but has a reputation. The Park Rangers have been known to avoid this area due to first-hand paranormal experiences. It has been reported that several of them have been grabbed by the feet and ankles by unseen hands. The recording yielded a voice whispering "quiet" just after another investigator, who was a good distance away, laughed at something. Lew was off on his own with his digital recorder when this mysterious voice was captured. However, the voice was never actually heard while on location.
"Quiet"

24) The following EVP was obtained by PGHA President Lewis Gerew in 1999. The EVP was captured with a digital recorder. Although at the time we did not hear this strange voice while on site, it sure did come out loud and clear on digital recording. It appears to say "My children burn". Spooky!
"My children burn"


** NOTE ** While at the IGHS 2000 Gettysburg Ghost Conference we had the pleasure to talk to Ron Ogburn of Ghosts of Adams County. Ron had a very interesting story to tell us about the above wav ("My children burn") and Sach's Bridge. Please click here to read Ron's story in his own words.

25) The following EVP was obtained by PGHA President Lewis Gerew in 1999. A digital recorder was used. The EVP includes answers to questions openly asked by Lew. While alone on the Wheat Field, I initiated an open conversation. After a few questions which received no response, I asked, "What Regiment are you with?" The reply was "One-Seventy-Four". Next I asked, "How old are you?" This response is difficult to make out a complete sentence. However, you can hear individual words clearly at certain points. We think that the second response may say "One hundred -- ha ha ha -- Seventy-four". Essentially, repeating the first reply. The only problem with the information given is that regiments at the battle of Gettysburg did not go that high in number. It wasn't until after the battle at Gettysburg that Civil War regiment's numbers had gotten that high.

26) The following EVP  was obtained by PGHA member Andy K. with his digital recorder during one of our visits to Gettysburg. At the time, PGHA President Lew Gerew called out loud "Bayonet" to see if the spirits would somehow respond either on film and/or audio. Well, as you will soon hear, Andy was able to capture someone in a male voice repeating the word "Bayonet" about 10 seconds after Lew had yelled it out loud. Since the recording would take up way too much space, we had to cut the part with Lew out. On the recording you will hear what appears to be a grunt of some sort followed by the word "bayonet".
Bayonet wav

27) This first EVP was recorded in the Homestead Orphanage. Everyone was broken into groups of 20 or less, and led on a tour of four homes. Homestead being the first. Rick Fisher,  the Director of the Pennsylvania Ghost Hunters Society had just captured an anomaly with his digital camera and had called out to the others: "I picked up a couple in this room". A few seconds later you hear a woman's voice whisper "They're in here". No one had been whispering. As a matter of fact, everyone had just been reminded previously that day to talk in their normal voice if they needed to speak during an investigation. The reason for this is simple. If you were to get an EVP you want to be sure that it's legitimate and not someone else attending the investigation. Here it for yourself!
inhere.wav
"They're In Here"!

28) This next EVP was recorded at Devils Den in 1998. No one else was present while recording this except Lew and I. I was the one doing the recording. I just walked around with it on RECORD the whole time. Sometime the previous day we had heard of the existence of caves at Devils Den. Being naturally curious, we decided to go and try to find them ourselves. These "caves" are not the caves one would imagine but rather deep narrow spaces in between the huge boulders that house Devils Den. Upon looking around Lew came across a rather narrow space between two huge boulders and decided he would try and get down inside to take some pictures. I was a little frightened that once he got down inside that he wouldn't be able to get out again, so after he made it half way down and had already snapped a few pics, I asked him to please come back up. He did! Later that night after playing back the tape I recorded on while at Devils Den we heard something strange. At first all we could make out was "I am dead ____ ____ ____ ____". We just couldn't figure out the rest of the words. It wasn't till we returned home and transferred this EVP to our computer that we finally heard the rest. It say's "I am dead don't walk on me"! We couldn't believe it! It's actually rather sad. We heard this best while listening to it through headphones on the computer and playing  it a few (hundred) times.
imdead.wav "I am dead, don't walk on me"!

29) This next one was recorded while investigating the Farnsworth House in 1998. Many people were having strange feelings in the basement of this place from the time they walked in. Myself included. Many cold spots were detected with thermal scanners in this basement, others got anomalous photos. When we listened to the tape later that night we heard men whistling a tune. You may remember this as a silly song from your childhood. The REAL name of this song is "Colonel Bogey March" You can hear this  best if you block out the foreground noise. It should also be noted that this "march song" lasted for a good 40-50 seconds on our tape. However, we could not include this entire section because, as you may have guessed, it would take too long to download.
marchsong.wav "Men Whistling a marching Tune"!

One last thing. We know that this song did not exist during the Civil War. This is yet another reason why this EVP is such a mystery to us. During this investigation, there were no TV's or radios playing for obvious reasons.

Attendees on the first floor of the Officer's Quarters had been hearing someone walking around on the second floor. Andy immediately went up to check it out and found no one there. So, he did a recording session. This is what he got.

4) This audio recording was captured by former PGHA members Danny & Nancy S. at our Fort Mifflin Investigation on April 28, 1998. They placed their recorder in the Dungeon area of the Fort where much ghostly activity has been experienced. The voice is that of a man yelling from a distance, what we believe to be "Keep Away".
Keep Away Wav "Keep Away"!

The following EVP's were obtained at a 1720 Farmhouse.

1) The following EVP was obtained in the attic of the 1720 Farmhouse near Warrington, PA. by PGHA member Andy K. This investigation took place on Thursday, August 19, 1999. The EVP is the sound of heavy breathing almost directly into the microphone.
"Breathing"





OUR GHOST

VARIOUS CEMETERIES
The following EVP's were obtained at various cemeteries.

Confederate Cemetery
1) This EVP was captured via digital recorder by PGHA member Andy K. Although this was not an official PGHA investigation, this is what Andy had to say; "The 'David' EVP was recorded on July 31st [1999] in the Confederate Cemetery near Carnton Mansion in Franklin, Tennessee. The cemetery is the final resting place for 1500 soldiers killed in the Battle of Franklin fought on November 30, 1864 - A confederate defeat. I was the only one in that part of the cemetery when the recording was made. Carnton Mansion was behind the lines during the battle and was used as a hospital."
David 1

David 2


Trinity Oxford Church Cemetery

2) This audio recording was captured by Sharon G., Vice-president of the PGHA during our investigation of Trinity Oxford Church Cemetery. We haven't been able to make out what the voice is saying, but it is definitely there and not of those present.

Bristol Cemetery

3) This audio recording was captured by PGHA Vice-president Sharon Gerew during our Bristol Cemetery investigation on June 10, 1998. It appears to be a voice of a young child saying "Mom-Mom".
Mom-Mom.Wav "Mom-Mom"!





MISCELLANEOUS

The following EVP's were obtained at various locations.

1) As of now, we must keep the location of this EVP confidential.
This pertains to 'Confidential 2'. Lew obtained this EVP during an investigation at a location which we cannot tell you about. In this recording, you will first hear Andy ask from a distance, "Are you married". You will then hear Lew ask the same question closer to the recorder. Following Lew, is when you want to start listening for a response, which shouldn't be hard. On this investigation, and during this particular recording, Andy was in one room and Lew in another (and on separate floors). Both had their recorders recording. The purpose was for Andy to ask a question first, and loud enough for Lew's recorder to hear, Lew was to ask the same question after Andy. This is why you hear them both asking the same question.
* SPECIAL NOTE: Lew was in the basement with a female investigator and our female host when he obtained this. He was the only male on the floor. The EVP is clearly a mans voice but it isn't Lew's.
