- Throughout all of human history
there have been countless people
who have claimed to see ghosts.
But usually these events are in passing,
and can be confused for something else
that can be explained away as not paranormal.
But what about those who have had
documented conversations with ghosts,
who have heard them speak delivering a chilling message?
(eerie music)
Here are 10 creepy recorded conversations with ghosts.
Number 10 is the Suicide Bridge.
Electronic voice phenomena also known as EVP,
includes direct recordings of messages from the dead.
In many cases, these messages are not audible
to the human ear, but only appear on tapes
and other recording mediums after the fact.
Some of them are terrifying, others heartbreaking.
The recorded message from a ghost at a bridge
in Pasadena California is a little of both.
It was built in 1912 and the official name of the bridge
is The Colorado Street Bridge.
But those who live in the area call it The Suicide Bridge.
This, due to the over 100 people
who have thrown themselves off of it
to the ravine below.
In 2014 when a group of friends
were investigating the bridge for paranormal activity,
they asked if anyone was there.
What they recorded was the voice of one of those
who have killed themselves.
They simply said, "Remember me."
Number nine is a bedroom invasion.
It's the stuff of nightmares.
Your home, a place which should be a sanctuary for you
is invaded by a ghostly presence.
That's exactly what happened to Steve Huff
who recorded a number of conversations
with spirits in his home.
Huff is a paranormal enthusiast
and it appears that the spirits followed him home
from other haunted locations because he was willing
to speak with them.
One night, in July of 2013, Huff spoke
with these entities who left him messages
that they wanted to play with him.
Several others were recorded as well as orb phenomenon
which some link to spirits trying to manifest themselves
as a visible apparition.
The most terrifying message of all simply said,
and I quote,
"I am in your bedroom."
These ghosts were literally watching
as Steve Huff slept.
Number eight is Carol-Anne.
Carol-Anne is an alleged haunted doll
which continues to communicate with those nearby.
In one recorded session of communication in 2014,
paranormal investigator Tim Wood
was able to converse several times with the doll.
While the voice could not be heard normally
it did appear on an MP3 recorder, afterwards.
Some people believe this is because
spirits are able to manipulate electricity
to approximate voices on the recording devices.
Tim Woods' recordings are extremely creepy
with the doll stating that it is a 17 year old girl.
Interestingly, the entity then shows
demonic characteristics referring to itself as Abicus
and even growling in a low scratchy voice.
The recording was live streamed and viewers were able
to verify the recordings as they appeared in real time.
Number seven is Konstantins Ruadive.
Konstantins Raudive was a psychologist in Sweden
who attempted to capture messages from the dead
throughout the 1960's and 70's.
He produced more than 100,000 recordings
and believed that because they were captured
under laboratory conditions,
that they constituted the best evidence yet
for the existence of, as he called them, discarnate people.
Many of those voices would respond to his questions
and spoke in a number of languages,
including his native tongue of Latvian,
as well as German and French.
In one chilling recording a ghostly voice
was seemingly searching for him
trying to find where he was.
In the end, all the voice could say was,
"You are near me."
This seems to support some paranormal theories
that discarnate souls inhabit other dimensions
which are undetectable but yet, right next to us.
Number six is Joe Thor.
In March of 2014, a man known as Joe Thor
decided to investigate noises in his apartment
which he believed were paranormal in origin.
Joe made the smart move of focusing on the area
where the activity was strongest.
This was the closet in his apartment.
Armed with only a video camera,
he turned off the houselights,
turned on his small camera light
and then stepped inside the closet.
There, he attempted to contact
any resident spirits through conversation.
At first, he asked if they wanted to leave a message,
but after receiving no response,
he then asked for a sign that the spirits were listening.
At that moment, the door to the closet
that he was in slammed shut.
Terrified, Joe opened the door and fled his apartment.
Sometimes, actions are worth a thousand words,
and in this case the ghosts message was pretty clear.
Get out.
- [Joe] Let me know of your presence
or forever hold your peace.
Oh God, I feel stupid.
(Bleep) ridiculous.
Ah, what the (bleep), what the (bleep),
what the (bleep).
- Number five is Ash Birdy.
In February of 2018, it was widely reported
that the mother of a young child
had inadvertently captured a message from a ghost
and it was a violent one.
The recording took place in Queensland, Australia
as mother, Ash Birdy, decided to record
her mischievous son, Ben, who was causing
havoc in her home, like toddlers do.
The video plays as a normal family recording
of a cheeky infant, but as Ash chased her son
out of the kitchen so she could finish
what she was doing without her distractions,
the camera picked up the sound
of a disembodied voice.
In a low and sneering voice,
the entity says, "hurt her."
There was no one else present in the room,
and the voice sounds nothing like Ash herself.
Many believe this is an example of evil spirits
who are jealous of the living and wish them harm.
Number four is Carl Wickland.
Psychiatrist Carl Wickland
was a famous psychiatrist and an accomplished
psychical researcher, and as such
was involved in a number of conversations
with entities from the other side.
One of the most remarkable
was when he was a medical student in the late 1800's.
After dissecting the leg of a dead man,
he came home and was greeted by his wife, Anna.
When Anna began to speak, she suddenly spoke
in a grave voice of an elderly man.
Carl thought his wife was having a breakdown,
but upon conversing with her,
it appeared that the spirit of a man
had possessed her.
The man asked, "Why are you cutting my leg?"
And so Carl knew, it was the ghost of the man
that he had been dissecting that very day.
After much argument, Carl was able to persuade the man
that he had died and moved on to the next life.
Number three is the Cafe Sports Basement.
In 2011, a team of paranormal researchers
were carrying out an investigation in Swinton, Rotherham.
The phenomena was localized to a popular sports cafe
and numerous staff and visitors had experienced
strange goings on there.
The team of investigators placed recording devices
in the property and it was overseen by skeptic, Lee Steer
who was present at all times.
As the team announced to any spirits
that they were going down into the basement,
one of the recorders picked up a terrifying voice.
While no one heard anything at the time,
and the resident skeptic maintains
that no one was near the recording device,
the horrid rasping voice can still be heard.
In response to the team walking down into the basement,
the voice says, "I'm one down here,"
breathes heavily, and then repeats the phrase
in a chilling tone.
Number two is Sarah Estep.
Sarah Estep was one of the leading innovators
in EVP research in the decades leading up
to her death in 2008.
While she was still alive, Sarah recorded
many strange conversations and snippets of phrases
through a variety of means.
Of all these recordings, the strangest has to be
her contact with her predecessor, Konstantines Raudive.
Sarah received a phone call supposedly from him
after he passed.
She quickly turned on the tape recorder
and recorded the final few moments of his message.
He wanted to thank her for her research.
And when Sarah asked him how he was,
he responded in a deathly croaked voice,
"I'm as fine as a dead one can be."
The phone call soon ended, and the recording remains
one of the most famous examples of spirits
interfacing with technology to communicate with the living.
- [Konstantines] I'm as fine as a dead one can be.
- And number one is the Upstate New York Recordings.
An EVP reported in an Upstate New York hotel
has to go down as one of the creepiest conversations
with a ghost, ever recorded.
The owners of the hotel have asked explicitly
that their name and location be kept hidden.
But, the recordings have been verified
by a group of investigators who were there.
Recorded in January of 2018,
the audio captures a male ghosts voice.
Screams can also be heard,
a gravely voice speaking close by,
as well as a violent struggle.
The male entity refers to the investigators
by saying, "Hello, baby."
Then there are high pitched screams
which sound as though a woman is being murdered.
The investigators didn't hear the sounds at the time,
and it was only later that they heard the recording.
No one knows who the man's voice was,
but one interesting thing to note is that
there were no men in the building at night.
