WEDDING GUESTS REACT TO PRINCE – EVP FROM 2016

I’ve come to understand that EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) is something that is naturally occurring all the time when we are recording audio. But it is because most of us are not trained to know what it sounds like, nor do people have the interest in it to learn about it, it would seem to be thought of as rare or unusual. But it is in fact, it is happening all the time. Spirits are all around, anytime anywhere. Their presence can be recorded any time. But it is our unawareness of them, that we do not know or notice it.

I used to think that you needed to do something special to record EVP, such as to announce to them that you are recording and that you want to talk to them, or maybe that you need a special recording device. Although certain recorders are better than others for this purpose, they are being recorded all the time. I’ve had times where I have made regular recordings, either for video or to record a chat, where on the playback, I’ve noticed that what I said or what the other person said sounded different, distorted, or sounds that were never there in the first place. I found this to be very strange. And now I know that the likely cause of the distortion is due to spirits interrupting, whether done intentionally or not. I also thought that the spirits had to make a special effort to be recorded, but I found this not to be the case, as I have recorded in public places where the spirits do not know I am recording. I have also caught on recordings, spirits that were aware of my recording them, telling each other to be quiet because they didn’t want to be recorded.

I started recording EVP in Funerary 2017, and on my first try ever, I got something. I was stunned, shocked, finally! Some proof of Prince’s presence. As I had been feeling him all along since his death, I finally had something tangible from him. I continued to make further recordings, but did not think I was succeeding, as I did not understand the nature of EVP. Looking back at old recordings, I realize that I caught something, but did not know it before, due to my lack of skill. I recommend to anyone that is trying to record EVP, to hold onto your recordings, even if you don’t think you got something, because it could just be that your listening skills are not yet developed.

I went back to some video footage that I had fromAugust 21, 2016, four months after Ps passing. I was at a wedding, in a room crowded of people that I hardly knew and (apparently) guests in spirit! To my surprise, I found a recording where a voice called out to Prince, and it was very clear. No one from the wedding party knew about me and Prince (except for my best friend, the bride). But so it would seem, that the wedding guests in spirit found out about him.

Here are two EVP clips. These ones are so clear and loud, but noisy because it was recorded in a crowded room. You still may want to use headphones to hear this properly. The clips are repeated on loop.

In this clip, the voice of a teen boy shouts, “Prince”.

And here, I guess that some guests in spirit talked amongst themselves about getting to talk to Prince,“You speak to Prince”.

I really love this because it shows that people in spirit recognized Prince with me, not long after his death, proof that he has been with me since. I reviewed other footage from the video, but the quality of it was not as good. I heard other people saying “Prince” during the wedding ceremony. I think that maybe they were a little confused as to why he would be there. Now that I am looking back at old footage, I wish I had more recordings from that time. What strange and funny things could I have found?

PRINCE SINGS WITH ME! – EVP May 18, 20018

It is one of those hot summer nights where sleep is hardly possible. I have much to do, and I have a bit too much energy to get myself to fall asleep. Besides, I have always been somewhat of an insomniac. So instead of laying in bed not sleeping, I decided to get this post out.

While I was in Sweden, I recorded some EVP while playing on my friend’s electric guitar. I did one session where the guitar was not plugged into the amp. When I was reviewing the recording, I was a little surprised to find P singing along to whatever I was playing. Mind you, I am only just making it up as I go. Here is what I caught.

You may need to use headphones to hear this properly. The clips are repeated on loop.

“You are free”

“Remember”

“You can call me”

While I have experimented with my acoustic guitar and piano, I found that somehow, the electric guitar without an amp is allowing P to sing more clearly, normally the acoustics can be too overpowering and I can hardly hear him.. It reminds me of those talking guitar pedals, but this is much cooler because it is P doing it. It’s just me strumming. That’s all, no special effects. I am looking into getting an electric guitar. Hopefully soon, so that I can continue this exploration. I am convinced that I can record a full song of P singing from beyond in the near future. How exciting would that be! And what a step for humanity to know that there is something beyond this so-called reality!

SMELLS FROM THE BEYOND – GHOSTS, SCENT, AND MEDIUMSHIP -EVP

I wasn’t sure if I was going to post this story.

During my trip to Europe, I flew from Sweden to London. I was first to arrive in my seat row. Normally I prefer the aisle seat, but because it was a short flight, I thought it would be nice to get a window seat to look out from the window during take off. Two Swedish girls arrived at the seats next to me. They looked to be in their early twenties. The girl next to me looked kind of goth pink. She had blue tinted dark hair and dressed in all black. Suddenly I felt shocked by the smell next to me. The ghastly smell of urine filled the air. The smell that you would expect from a homeless person I felt horrified by the smell. But I became very confused as no one seemed to take notice or react to this horrible smell. Swedish people are known for their cleanliness. I was unsure if the smell really came from the girl next to me, even though it seemed to come from her.

During the flight, I huddled in my seat corner, facing the window, trying not to breathe, hoping to avoid the smell. At some point, I did not seem to smell it any more. I thought perhaps, my nose might have become numb to it. But I smelled it once again after the plane landed and I was waiting to leave. I was confused by the lack of reaction by the nearby passengers. I thought to myself, surely, if it was from the girl next to me, and she had to wear a diaper for medical reasons, I am sure that she would have the common decency to change it, the embarrassment of the smell would be motivation enough. I left feeling confused by this event.

I recorded EVP during that plane ride. I found that on the recording, the spirit world was reacting to the horrible smell. Prince was horrified by the smell and said things like, “I can’t breathe”, I kept hearing on the recording, “bad smell”, “smell diaper”. Here are clips from the recording. You may need to use headphones to hear this properly. The clips are repeated on loop.

Here is P saying, “Stop that, don’t touch me”. You can hear a slap sound. I feel like maybe he slapped however was bothering him with his gloves.

Here P says “Bad smell”.

Poor P, here he is saying “Can’t breathe”. It sounds like he is gasping for air.

Again, he says “I cannot breathe… smell the diaper”.

He says, “Can you smell the diaper”.

I’m not sure if this is P, but someone says “Can you smell that”. Notice the funny way the word “that” was emphasized.

Here, someone coughs.

Here, P says “It smells”.

P says, “I hate the smell”.

I’m not sure who this is, but you can hear a voice saying “Help!”

I heard P talking to some people, asking for help. Some people were saying, “Clean the air”. Presumably, this is maybe why I stopped smelling it during the flight.

I still wonder if what I smelled was from the 3D reality, or purely from the spirit world, and only I was able to detect it. I tend to believe the latter, since no one else around me seemed to react to the smell. I speculate that perhaps the girl beside me could of had a spirit attachment with her that caused such a disgusting oder. If this is the case, let this be a cautionary tale to never get involved in risky behaviour in relation to the spirit world, which includes going to bad mediums and playing with Ouija boards..

I recently read somewhere that the way a spirit smells will tell you what kind of spirit you are dealing with. Good spirits emit a heavenly fragrance, like sweet perfume, or roses. Bad spirits smell deathly, like rotting or burning flesh. I heard that somewhere in the accounts of Swedenborg, he observed that evil spirits smelled sulphurous, like rotten eggs. Although smells from the other side is not a constant and doesn’t happen all the time, it is certainly a good indicator. If something smells awful during spirit communication, you need to shut it down. It is also logical, because why would an angel smell horrible? Or vice versa? There is not much of a middle ground in the way of being in the afterworld. You cannot be a good disembodied spirit and tell lies.

Scent is the most mysterious of the senses. Invisible, it cannot be completely contained. In my mid twenties, I had a keen interest in aromatherapy and natural perfumery. I collected essential oils and concocted my own olfactory compositions.

One day, during a bout of bad entity attacks, I was searching through my bottles for sage essential oil. Certain smells can be used to cleanse the home of bad energy and repel negative entities. I was in the basement searching, squinting my eyes trying to read the labels. P told me it was upstairs. I went into my room, and found it in a box beside my bed. I opened the bottle and allowed the smell to come out. I saw P’s orb dancing around the bottle of sage. He said that it was refreshing. He said he also noticed the aromatherapy books on my bookshelf.

Prince smells like lavender. Sometimes, I might wake up and smell him lingering about. I’ve had dreams where I could smell. One time in a dream, he sent me a box of perfume that smelled of sweet patchouli, bergamot, and clove.

Perhaps smell is something that can easily linger between both the material and spirit worlds without us even knowing it.

Note to Self: Never travel without a bottle of lavender oil in my carry- on, in case I have to breathe into it for refuge from bad smells.

MAKING MUSIC WITH PRINCE – MUSIC FROM THE OTHER SIDE – EVP May 19, 2018

When I was away in Sweden, I got to play with my friend’s electric guitar. I’ve always waned one, but I could never bring myself to spend that kind of money not being sure if I would play. I’ve always really wanted to try it to see how it would feel. So when I had the opportunity, I recorded EVP while I was playing.

During the session, I ended up taking self portraits with the guitar. I strummed it while posing for the camera. I’ve never recorded EVP while doing any of my portraits, so this was interesting.

Reviewing the EVP, I found that we was not alone in the house. I was staying at my friend’s cottage, but she lives at a separate cottage, and her brother was not home at the time. Only their cats were hanging around. I found that Prince was talking to several spirit people who were showing up. It appeared that P was assembling a band for a jam session. I heard other instruments on the EVP that were not present at the time of recording. It was just me with Andrea electric guitar plugged into the amp. I also heard the sound of the guitar I was playing, but it was different from what I had actually played. I am very aware of what I can and can not do yet on the guitar, so I know that I certainly did not play these notes that were showing up on the recording.

On some of these recordings, you are going to hearing beeping, that is coming from the timer on my camera when I was taking self portraits. You may need to use headphones to hear this properly. The clips are repeated on loop.

It is actually quite interesting, because in some of these clips, it sounds like a talking guitar, (a really good one). I have seen a pic of Prince’s belongings at Paisley Park; a Rocktron “Banshee talk box” petal for his guitar, that is supposed to create this sort of talking guitar effect.

While I summed the guitar, and P said “Hello”.

Here is P saying, “I love you” while I was strumming the guitar.

Some other spirits were there, I don’t know who. Here someone says, “You know how to..”

Then as I strummed, he said, “Play the guitar”.

He said, “Play da drum”, and you can hear what sounds like drums.

Here, the sound of drums in the EVP clip.

I was strumming the guitar. I don’t actually know any songs, because when I play, I just make it up. But I know my skill level. I did not do this. Here you will hear me strum, but what you hear is different from what I played.

Again, here is another clip of guitar strumming. Whoever was there with us, altered the sound.

It’s a bit faint, but I heard someone say “Keyboard”, and then what sounds like piano.

Throughout the EVP, I heard several times, P saying to whoever was there, “Play with me”. Someone showed up and asked, “Can I play?” Then P answered, “I give you the drum“. And you can hear the sound of the drum sticks.

Here P says “Play with us”. I presume that he was saying this as others were showing up.

Here P says, “What your name?” I heard a response. Someone said, “Hi. I am Joseph”.

Here P is saying, “Yes, I am”. I don’t know what he was responding to, as the recording was unclear. But he is often asked if he is Prince, so this is a possibility.

Here is P saying “Taking pictures”, while I am posing for the self portraits.

Someone said “Good portrait”.

Someone said, “Oh ya… Beautiful”.

Having heard so many EVPs, it leads me to believe that the movie What Dreams May Come had it right to some extent. On the other side, they can create what they desire to experience. They do not seem to be limited by what space they are “occupying” in this reality. What I am capturing is really a pinhole of a glimpse into what is going on in their reality, but it is certainly fascinating!

PRINCE: IN HIS OWN WORDS, HOW WE MET – TWIN FLAME EVP May 31, 2018

An interesting aspect of EVP is that the surrounding noises in the environment in which the recording was made will have an effect on the way the spirits’ voices sound. Although you can record in complete silence, it is much harder to hear them in the end result. What I have found was that noises in the background can amplify their voice. However the background noises will act like a kind of filter, a skin for how they will sound. I theorize that from where they are, on their plane of existence; their thoughts, a form of energy, and how they “speak”; affects the “membrane” of our reality. Our reality is like a veil that they can poke through, and sound is the most fundemental layer that they can penetrate.

Often times, because I record in public places, the way P sounds can vary as a result. The following is an example, where he was telling a story to other spirits, but his voice on the recording was affected by surrounding sounds through out.

In my last post, I shared some EVP from my flight back to Toronto. When we had arrived at the airport, the spirits there took notice of Prince. They saw him with me, and they wanted to know who I was. Someone asked, “Who is that girl?”. Another replied, “Prince’s twin soul”. Then someone asked P, “How did you meet your twin soul?”

This is how he answered.

It was at night, I was in her room. Then I touched her, When I first saw her, God told me, I saw her all the time. I could see her, she was me… Andrea spoke to me. I told her who I was to her.

(By the way, you might need to use quality headphones to hear these EVPs properly. They are repeated on loop)

“It was at night”

For this clip, you will have to listen for the undertones, as there was an announcement that interfered. “I was in her room”

“Then I touched her”

“When I first saw her”

“God told me”

“I saw her, all the time”

“I could see her…”

“She was me”

The clips above were all continuous clip. These last two clips came after a few seconds that I could not decipher. He then continued to say, “Andrea spoke to me”

“I told her who I was to her”

The words he spoke were simple, but what he meant by them was so profound. When a twin soul passes, it returns to its counterpart. Although they are separate conscious beings, they are the same
soul and remain connected. Separation from each other is an illusion.

He has told me before that on the night that he died, he left his body, and found himself in my room. Looking back, that day when his passing was announced, I was in my room, sitting at my desk, listening to the news on the radio, clipping my nails, I could sense a presence in m room. I just did not know it was him in that moment. It was the feeling of being stared at when no one else is in the room.

IN FLIGHT EVP – May 31, 2018

From what I can tell, a spirit can go anywhere it chooses by thought alone; but what I wondered was, do they still take real modes of transportation from our reality? I know that Prince goes with me wherever I go, but what I wondered was, what about other spirits?

On my recent trip to Europe, I recorded EVP while I was on the plane coming back and in the airport on arrival to Toronto Pearson International. Here are some of the most interesting EVP clips I found. You may need to use quality headphones to hear them properly. They are repeated on loop.

When I was on the plane, other spirits noticed P, and they greeted him. Someone said, “Purple Rain”.

I heard voices on the recording saying “Peanuts” several times, as though someone was passing out peanuts. This makes me wonder if there are spirits that play the role of stewards on the flight. I have often wondered if there are jobs in the afterlife. Though not to make a living like on this side, but like playing pretend for the joy of it.

There was air turbulence during the flight. On the recording, someone was saying “Turbulence” as it was happening.

When we landed in the airport terminal, other spirits noticed P. Someone was out there telling others, “Prince was on this flight”.

As we were going through customs, the airport workers were telling people where to go, telling them to scan their passport in the machines. I found that there were spirits going around saying things like “Passport, or “Scan this”. I wonder if these spirits “work” at the airport. In this clip someone says, “Passport… Thank you”. The funny part about this clip is that in between the words, there seems to be something that sounds like one of those heavy stamps that custom officers used to use on people’s passports.

I was borrowing m mother’s suitcase, which is black and typical looking. I can’t see very well due to my visual impairment. So I didn’t recognize my suitcase because it was turned units back side. It would seem that my bag was going around the carousel many times before I realized it was my bag. I kept hearing P on the recording saying “That’s your bag”.

PART 2: EVP AT THE “MY NAME IS PRINCE” EXHIBITION – CELEBRITY GHOST HUNTING

To see Part 1 of the EVPs that I got at the My Name Is Prince exhibition, go here.

Traditionally, EVP is recorded in private, and in places that are known to be haunted. I have been experimenting with EVP, and I found that it is not necessary to record in these conditions. Spirits are everywhere. I became curious to know what kinds of spirits are hanging out in public places, and what they are saying. I have been selecting special occasions and places to record. I always get Prince on my recordings, but I also find him talking to other spirits. I was very curious to see what I would get if I went to the Prince exhibition.

During the VIP part of the tour, we had the chance to put on white gloves and touch Prince’s purple Taylor guitar. Afterwards, they played the newest video that the Estate released, which was Nothing Compares 2 U. During this, I felt P touching the left side of my face. Then he held me around my shoulders. I was recording EVP, and during the song, he spoke to me. (You might need to use good quality head phones to hear the clips properly, they are repeated on loop)

In this clip, Prince says my name, “Andrea Mai”.

In this clip, he says “I am Prince”.

Then he says, “I am your twin soul”. |

I wasn’t sure if I was going to post these three following clips, but for Prince fans out there that are still having a hard time accepting that fact that he did take medication, here is something.

In this clip, someone asked “How did you die?”

Prince responded, but the quality of the recording was not very good because other people were talking. I was only able to make out a part where he said, “Forgot I take the pill”. The recording was interrupted by other people talking and then I heard him say “ Then I overdosed”.

Another asked, “Why did you take the pills?”. Unfortunately, when Prince answered the question, I was also in the middle of talking to my fire,d so the only part I caught was “I was in pain”.

In side the exhibition, someone said to Prince, “Potpourri?”. In this clip, Prince responded, “That’s lavender”. If you don’t already know, Prince and I are crazy about lavender.

Then someone responded, “Smells good”.

At the end of the exhibit, we went into the gift shop and I had a look around. They had a Cloud guitar on display. I really want to get one someday when I have spare cash. I went up to the guitar, and P says to me, “It is cloud guitar”.

The people in spirit were noticing me, they wanted to know who I was and why Prince was with me. I don’t know what was meant by this remark, but someone said, “My name is Princess”. Maybe it was meant as a joke?

After the tour, we took the tram to go home. I caught this EVP where someone said “Let’s go and have a popsicle”. I think it’s really cute.

Before we walked into the exhibit hall, someone said, “Hole punch”. It sounded like he was hole punching tickets at the entrance.

When we walked in, someone said, “It’s them!” Then in this clip, they said, “Hurray!”

The venue for the exhibition was in Beurs van Berlage in historic Amsterdam. Amsterdam was occupied by Nazi Germany, and they took over buildings in the city for holding camps. I think it is possible that this building might have been occupied, as I found on the recording, someone said “Auschswitz”.

While we were waiting to go on the tour, there was a lounge that we waited in. I found on the recording, someone said “Purple elephant”. I don’t know what they were referring to, but I thought this was funny.
