A Havre de Grace EVP

This brief audio clip contains an EVP that is fairly typical of others that I've recorded. It was captured last week at a private residence in the center of Havre de Grace. We were asking general probing questions hoping to receive responses that would tell us more about any spirits present.

The question heard in the recording asks if there was once a pharmacy where La Cucina is now located on Washington Street. These types of questions are commonly used while doing EVP work to presumably determine the time period during which a spirit lived. The question also anticipates that the entity would know that the building that was once a pharmacy in town now houses an Italian Eatery. That's asking for much!

More important than the question asked is the apparent direct response that's heard. The answer is simply "yeah." First, it needs to be understood that every precaution was taken to control any noise contamination of the room we were in. Any outside sounds, or sounds made by us, were immediately noted verbally on the recording.

Is this recording, and many others like it, evidence that ghosts exist? Is it even a response to the question asked? Does it prove that the dead are attempting to communicate with the living? Is it proof positive that the house is haunted? Could it be the result of a stray radio transmission from a boat, a plane, a truck passing by on I-95? As with all things associated with the paranormal, this short audio clip raises an endless stream of questions.

I know for certain that the voice doesn't belong to anyone in the room at the time. I also know that the voice wasn't audible to the human ear at the time the recording was made. Beyond these couple of talking points, I can't make any conclusive claims about the recording, except that I find it fascinating.
