Well, Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP) are intelligible voices found in recording media that have no known physical explanation. Many of the voices are thought to originate from deceased people, but this has not been fully proven . This is the primary reason that people first began experimenting with EVP, as a method to contact the dead !

Electronic voice phenomena, also known as EVPs, are recordings of disembodied voices that are thought to be the voices of the dead. EVPs are considered paranormal because there are no explanations for the mysterious voices that appear on recordings. Some EVPs that have been recorded have been done accidentally and other EVPs are the result of efforts to catch the voices of the dead on tape.
The best EVPs are captured under controlled circumstances. What is different about an EVP from a channeled message is that the EVP recording contains voices of the dead who speak under their own direction without any influence from a living person though sometimes a disembodied voice may answer questions but it is only when the recording is listened to that the voice is detected.
This phenomenon really took hold in the early 1960's through the many years of research by Swedish bird-watcher Friedrich Jorgensen. He had been recording bird songs in remote areas and while making one of his recordings he heard a strange garbled human voice. He was sure that there was no one around him at the time of the recording. After much study and experimenting he was successful in recording a number of extraneous voices over the next four years. He published a book in Sweden titled "Voices From the Universe.
Here is the basic technique for recording EVP:
1. Be still and try not to move around when recording. The less you move around, the fewer unwanted sounds you will hear on your recordings. If you are outside, try to pick a quiet spot away from traffic and other loud background noises. If other people are with you, make sure they remain quiet while you are recording. EVP sounds are usually faint and difficult to hear, so it will help to keep background sounds to a minimum.
2. Begin recording. Ask a question or say something in a normal speaking voice. Do not whisper. Talk normally. Just act as if you were interviewing a living person. Ask a question and then wait a moment. Ask another question and wait again. Do this as many times as you want. You will probably not hear anything and you will feel quite silly at first but remember that spirits are all around us all the time. They hear you, whether you realize it or not. If you do happen to capture an EVP recording, you will not hear it until you play your recording back later. (That is because EVP are not "heard" in the normal sense of the word, but for some unknown reason recording devices can capture these sounds and play them back in a way that can be heard.)
3. Stop recording when you feel it is time. Take note of the time and location of the recording session. Also make note of any weather conditions, phases of the moon, or any other details you think may be worth remembering.
4. Listen to your recordings in a quiet place without distractions. It helps if you can listen to your EVP recordings through headphones. You can use a computer to transfer your EVP recording onto the computer as a sound file. If you do, you can then use sound editing software to enhance the recording, making it clearer and louder. Some software can be used to filter unwanted background noise from your recording. I always leave my EVP recordings as is and only use my software to increase the volume, speed up or slow down the recordings, or edit them in some other way that is not so destructive to the original recording.
If you use tape to record EVP, remember to use a fresh unused tape each time you record. If not, you run the risk of hearing residual sound from a previous recording. This is because many tape recorders will not completely erase the previous recording. This is a good reason to use a digital voice recorder or some other digital device to record your EVP. With a digital device, there is no chance of having any sound from a previous recording come through onto your new recording because with digital, the previous recording is completely deleted. Also, there is none of the annoying tape hiss and mechanical sounds that are picked up when you use analogue tape recorders.
No one knows why, but most EVP voices consist of just a few words. Don't expect to hear a long speech or a story. Instead, expect to hear very short messages.
Rating system for EVP
Class A - The voices are understood by all that listen. The words are actually somewhat loud and clear (rare).
Class B - Voices cannot be deciphered clearly and tones are very low and hard to understand
Class C - Voices are extremely faint and almost completely incomprehensible (most common but unacceptable).
