EVP
Audio and Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) refer to the purported manifestation of voices or sounds on recorded media, often without any identifiable physical source. Sceptics attribute EVP to artefacts of audio recording processes, such as interference, signal bleed, or pareidolia—where the brain perceives familiar patterns in random stimuli.
