HIS MOTHER CAME SHOPPING WITH US! – EVP December 2, 2018

Every once in a while, I will go over less recent recordings for the first time. I record more often than I can keep up with. On this occasion, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Prince’s mother was with us when I was shopping. It was around the holidays, last year. This recording pre-dates a previous recording where P’s mother was also with us.

I am quite stunned with how clear many of these clips are. You should be able to hear them without headphones, but sound quality can vary depending on what device you use. So if you want a better listening experience, use headphones. For reference, I use Beats headphones when I review clips. These clips are repeated on loop.

Here is P saying, “My mother here”. This is so loud and clear, it’s undeniable!

Here some one says, “Prince’s mom here”. And then a mother voice says, “That’s his mommy”.

Here is P talking to someone, “Look my mom’s here”. We were in a store that we frequent, so he often talks to people he knows there.

Someone commented, “His family”.

It sounded apparent that there were spirits there “selling” perfume”. This voice said, “New perfume”.

I heard P say he wanted to make a perfume for his mom. So maybe there was a perfumery there? I’ve noticed that you can go to the same location over and over, and there will be different situations happening every time. I presume that spirits like to play “pretend”, like play shop, or restaurant. I heard sniffing. Then he said, “Smells like me, smells good”.

I heard sniffing on the recording. P was asking other people what they thought, someone said, “Smells good“.

It seemed that P was looking at something, he said, “Cashmere”. Then someone said, “That’s good, very nice”.

P then said, “I try it on“.

He said, “Look at me, I want that, please”.

It turned out he got a new hat. I heard someone tell him he looked stylish. Someone commented, “I love the hat”.

I ended up buying black liquorice. When I was waiting in line, he said, “Sweetie… Buy liquorice”.

Here is someone saying, “Everything is sparkly” . I think it was his mom saying that.

Sometimes, the other spirits can’t believe that it’s Prince right there in front of them, and they second guess it. Here someone said, “It’s really him”.

It really makes me happy to know that his mother visits, and that they have a nice time together. It’s even more special that I am able to capture a glimpse of it.

I asked P to makes these drawings for this post. I did them on an iPad Pro and Pencil, that I recently acquired. A wish come true. Now that we are drawing on a bigger screen, he adds more detail, color, and sometimes he adds a signature in the corner.

ANGEL IN A HIGH-RISE – EVP November 14, 2018

I reviewed an EVP recording that I did back in November of last year. I was with my mother visiting our relatives overseas. I didn’t do much recording while I was there. They live in a condo building, and. I can only imagine the multitude of spirits hanging around in high density buildings I did a recording while I was finishing packing my bags on the last day of our visit.

I was alone when I caught these two clips. Relatives were in the family room while I was in the bedroom by myself.

As usual, I always recommend headphones for a better listening experience. But depending on what device you are using, you many be able to hear it even without. They are repeated on loop.

P said, “That’s an… angel”. I don’t know who he was talking to. But I did hear other spirits around.

Whoever he was talking to, responded, “Guard the two of you”. And then someone said hello in Mandarin, “Nee heow”.

This occurred near the end of the recording, so I don’t know what else was said. But I am sure glad to know we have angels with us. Every night I pray to God for angels to protect us. I don’t know with certainty if everyone has them, like a guardian angel, because based on my observations of the way spirits react when they see angels, they often remark with, “What are they doing here?”. If angels were with us all the time, on an everyday basis, such a question should seem rhetorical. One thought is, maybe everyone has them, but because they don’t explicitly ask for them, they are only on standby. In today’s day and age, people seldom pray, let alone have any awareness of angels.

May God bless you with his angels.

SPIRITS ABOARD A BOAT ON THE YANGTZE RIVER – EVP November 3, 2018

Last year, I travelled to China, and took a cruise along the Yangtze River. The scenery was exotic and primal in feeling. It reminded me of the illustrations from the children’s book, Where The Wild Things Are.

I recorded EVP while I was on the boat. I wandered around the observation deck taking photos and watched the scenery go by in the dining area. I wasn’t sure how these EVPs were going to turn out, as there is a lot of noise coming from the boat’s motors. But as it turned out, I did get some very loud and clear EVP. Reviewing the EVPs that I did in China, it was was easy to spot EVP, because everyone there is speaking Mandarin. Most of these, you will be able to hear without headphones, but of course, it will enhance your listening experience if you do use headphones. These clips are repeated on loop.

I was on the top deck when I recored these clips. It appears that P was enjoying some fancy food spread while I was busy taking photos. Here is a clip him saying, “Cheese“.

Someone said to P, “Have champagne”. These spirits were really living it up!

Mia (the dog) was with us, P said, “Mia”. and someone said, “You little, Prince”.

Someone said, “Dog biscuit”. I think they were offering a treat to Mia.

Someone said, “Let’s get off, grab it!”. It sounds to me that some spirits wanted to jump off the boat and get onto one of these beaches.

I headed back to the dining area to take my seat and wait for the meal service. The meal was like airplane food. Really basic. I had to wait a long time before it was served. As I was sitting there, P said, “I have sushi”.

If you ever wondered if they enjoy food over there on the other side, then here is the evidence to suggest that they do. Sometimes spirits offer food to each other. I find that really nice! Makes my heart melt, how nice they can be. And sometimes there are these spirits who prepare food like a chef, and offer it to others. I guess some spirits like to play restaurant in the afterlife.

DOGS ON EVP: PRINCE’S DOG, MIA – July 14 & 18, 2919

think many people wonder what there is in the afterlife, as I had many of the same questions myself. Questions like, are there animals, do they have technology, do they still experience our world…? As far as I can observe, the spirit world is like a layer on top of our physical world. Maybe better described as a dimension. I find language so limiting in being able to covey such concepts. The spirits can observe our world, but they also have a spirit version of it occurring with ours simultaneously. So while there is like a spirit version duplicate of the physical world, there is much more going on as well. For instance, if I go to a restaurant, there is a spirit version of the restaurant, but on their side they may be serving foods we don’t have on the menu over here!

So are thee animals over there? Do we see our pets again? Often as I am leaving the house, I will see in my mind’s eye, P’s dog, Mia. She is a sweet, delightful creature. His pets came to him after his passing (or maybe they never left?) I am grateful that P has pets with him to keep him company. I have also heard P mention of animals that he sees over there.

Recently, I recorded EVP where Mia was mentioned. P likes to take her out with us when we go out shopping. Most of these clips are pretty clear. But some clips are more subtle and you would need headphones to hear them. For reference, I use Beats headphones when I review audio, so use headphones if you want to hear what I’m hearing. EVP audio can be subtle and it can get lost on regular speakers. The clips are repeated on loop.

Here is a clip where someone says to P, “Hold your puppy, so cute”.

Here is P saying, “It’s Mia”.

Here, P says, “Mia”.

In this clip, someone asks, “What’s her name?”. This part is very subtle, you might not hear it at first. P answers, “Mia”. This is one of those types of clips where nearby sounds gets morphed to form the sounds of what the spirit is saying. So “Mia” sounds like it is part of the song lyrics from the music in the background.

Here is a voice saying, “Doggie over there”.

Here you can hear someone whisper, “Doggie“. And then a dog bark.

That day, when I was at the store, I think there was also another dog thee. In this clip, you hear a dog bark, but it’s not Mia. Then you hear someone saying “Woof, woof, woof, doggie, woof”. It’s really cute.

Here is P introducing his dog to someone, “This is Mia”.

I also recorded other interesting clips that day. Here is one that I caught from their conversation among themselves. Someone said, “Oh I see”.

Here is someone saying, “What should we do, now?”.

Here is a clip of P saying, “Sit down here with me”. I think he was talking to Mia, while I was browsing in the store. This is a clip where the store’s radio announcement was morphed. I will show you in the next clip after this.

Here is the store announcement, so you can hear how the announcement got morphed.

As we started walking home, some people started asking P about me. He said, “She is my twin soul”.

For this blog post, I asked P to do some drawings. I am able to let P move my hand for him to draw. He drew a picture of Mia (above), and a group of dogs (below). We both really love dogs. But due to my living circumstances, I can’t have one.

A LOVE SONG FROM THE OTHER SIDE – EVP July 15, 2019

This morning I did a quick recording of my guitar playing, and I caught P singing along! I even heard him snapping his fingers! I have my guitar set at 432 tuning, which is what gives it that dreamy feel.

With musical EVP, I find it make s a huge difference to listen to it with headphones. There are some subtle frequencies that get lost on regular speakers. You still might hear it without headphones, but it will be more subtle, the words are less defined.

Here is the entire song uncut.

I couldn’t make out all the words that he was singing. Here some parts that were clear enough to make out, that I thought were worth clipping. They’re repeated on loop.

“Look how far we’ve come” ( You can hear a finger snap)

“You’re that girl in my dreams at night, fade into the morning light”

“I got you now”

“Thank God you’re mine”

“You play guitar”

I ain’t gonna brag, but you can imagine how he makes me feel.

SPIRITS COMMENT ON MY ART DISPLAY – EVP June 10, 2019

Last year, I applied to do an art exhibition with the Toronto Public Library. I was thrilled when I got an invitation to show at the Don Mills branch for the month of June. June happens to be Prince’s birthday month, but Don Mills is also near to where Prince used to live in Toronto.

Unfortunately, the library was undergoing renovation during the month of May and it spilled over onto the first week of June, and I could only show for the remaining three weeks of June.

I decided to record EVP during the artwork installation, just to see what kinds of thing the spirits might say. Most of these clips are quite clear, but I still recommend headphones. Sound quality can vary depending on what device you use. I use Beats headphones when I review audio, so if you want to hear what I hear, use headphones. Subtle sound frequencies can be lost on a regular speaker. The clips are repeated on loop.

Prince’s presence seemed to get the attention of nearby spirits.They come over and chatted with him. I think they were a little stunned that he was there. One spirit said to herself, “I talked to Prince”. The tone of her voice sounded like she couldn’t believe it. You can hear me unwrapping the bubblewrap on artwork. This clip is quite remarkably clear!

I guess once they spoke to Prince, they went and told their friends about it. Here is someone saying “Prince spoke to me”.

Someone said, “You meet celebrity”, and then someone replied in a squeal, “Yes!”.

Someone remarked, “New ghost”.

Here, someone said, “Prince one with her”.

They started asking questions about me. Prince explained to them about the twin soul thing, and that after his death,“God take me, wake up next to her”. Prince does tend to speak quietly, so this clip is a bit harder to hear.

They asked him, “Do you love her”.

He replied to them, “Adore her”.

In this clip, someone asked, “Why do you do this”. P replied, “I love her”.

As I was hanging the art, P was commenting, “That’s it”, to tell me it looked ok. Someone said, “It’s beautiful“.

Here someone said, “I’m gonna go see your art”.

I had some photographs of Mont Blanc. Here someone said, “Mountains”.

Someone said, “Great art”.

I had a series of photos that were in circles. Someone said, “They are circle, like it”.

Another one also commented, “They are circle”.

After we were done hanging up the pictures, we drove through Prince’s old neighbourhood, but we didn’t go on his street. As we drove, it started to rain. It had been raining that morning, but luckily it stopped when I was unloading the art at the library. While in the car, P said, “Now it rain”. And right after that, you can hear my mom say in Cantonese, “Rain again”.

P said to me, “In your dreams”. Which then reminded me of a dream I had, on the morning that I was supposed to originally install the art show. In the dream, I got into a car with P, but I sat in the back seat, because there were boxes loaded in the front passenger side. P was driving. He was asking me to hand him an umbrella, even though he had a big purple one next to him. He wanted a different one. He had an umbrella on each side of the backseats. He had peeped his car with enough umbrellas for each passenger seat. It was raining, and we drove through a park. In the dream, we were driving to Paisley Park. In the EVP, we were driving past, Irving Paisley Park, which is near his old Toronto house. How funny, right?

I am really stunned by some of the sound quality on these clips. It’s nuts going through the recordings and hearing their conversations on the other side. Despite how unreal my experiences may seem, these recordings affirm just how real it all is.

If you happen to like any of my artwork, you can purchase it from my shop here.

P HELPED ME PICK OUT A GUITAR – EVP June 12, 2019

I have long wanted an electric guitar. One day, wile passing through town to an appointment, I saw the musical instrument store, Steve;s Music in Toonto. That place has been there for decades, and thankfully, it hasn’t been eaten up by the neighbouring retail real estate up-surge. I used to pass by this place all the time when I was in university.

I decided to have a look inside during some spare time. I recorded EVP while I was there. It was an interesting place to record in. This place has history. There’s memorabilia and photos plastered in the stairwell. It has that rough backstage feel, compared to the pristine fashion boutiques nearby. I really wasn’t planning to buy, just a look. But I saw something that I just couldn’t pass up. I got a Fender Squier Affinity in Surf Green. I couldn’t get over how much I loved the color. If I was ever going to get a guitar, it could never be in a basic, it has to be in a stand-out color. The color is reminiscent of a vintage 50’s, California dreamin’ vibe ‘. There’s no better color for me, than this minty sea green color. I’ve long obsessed with this color since around 2012 when I was dying silk fabric in this color. It looked like P dug this color too, as he wore it in a performance on May 19,2013.

The EVP revealed that P was actually the one who saw the guitar and led me to it. Most of these clips are pretty clear. But I still suggest headphones to ensure a good listening experience. I review audio using Beats headphones, so if you want to hear what I hear, then use headphones. Sometimes subtle frequencies are lost on regular speakers, and sound quality can vary on different devices. When it comes to EVP, headphones make a huge difference.

Waling out of an office building, spirits were asking Prince where he was going. He said, “Going shopping”.

Someone said, “Hey Prince’.

A curious onlooking spirit asked, “Where they going?”.

Someone said to P, “You’re following her”. Referring to me. They always wonder who I am, and why he’s with me.

When we got near the shop, P said, “Going Steve’s now”.

Someone said to P, “You played Coachella”. P played the Coachella music festival in 2008.

When we got inside, he must have went straight to the Fender, ’cause I didn’t even see the Fenders ’til the last aisle. There seemed to be spirits around, who really knew their guitars, acting like sales assistants. P said, “Ooh ohh I want this”. Someone said, “That’a s Squier”.

Here someone said, “A Fender”. P replied, ” It is beautiful”.

I’m not familiar with the names of guitar models. So I didn’t know the name of the guitar I chose until the sales guy mentioned it later. But before that, a voice was saying, “A Squier”.

And again, someone said, “A Squier, Affinity”. Affinity is the series name for the guitar I bought, which I didn’t know ’til after I bought it.

I kind of hummed and hawed in the store for a bit about this spontaneous purchase. Meanwhile P was saying, “Andrea buy, Squier”.

I think someone asked P for help with something. A man ‘s voice said, “Please… fix”. P said, “Ohh, it’s tight”.

Spirits were excited that Prince was in the store, they were telling each other about it. Here is someone saying, “Come, Prince here”.

Someone said, “Excuse me, do you mind, picture”. I guess they wanted a picture of P?

Someone said, “Wow, Prince here. He play guitar”.

Someone said, “Prince baby”. That is such a ’60’s thing to say. The store has a ’60’s vibe to it, since that is when it was opened. Being in there feels a bit like stepping back in time. Even the store logo has that psychedelic look in the font.

They said, “Very honoured. WoW”.

When I left the store, walking on to the streets, someone said, “What did you get”. P replied, “Electric guitar”.

It really makes me think, sometimes with the choices we make, there could be a spirit behind it, influencing our decisions. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

I rally dig my new guitar. I’ll be experimenting with musical EVP with Prince very soon.
