Re: [microsound] Mysterious on air phenomenon...

Hi all!
This might sound a bit odd... But i'll give it a shot.
I was just wondering if anyone out there, ever had come across the mysteries with mysterious voice phenomenon on the air? In the late 50:s, while recording songbirds in his backyard, the Swedish filmproducer Friedrich Jürgensson happened to catch some mysterious voices on tape. The scary, but yet fascinating messages also appeared on air when recording randomly from the short, medium or long wave bands on his radio...
By Jürgensson's explaination the mysterious voices originated from the dead.
Voices from the other side.
These phenomenon continued to appear and over the next 25 years, Jürgensson became a celebrity among the paranormal society. Konstantine Raudive is another highly respected name in this field. My question to whomever it may concern: Have you ever heard of anything like this? Do you believe in it? Can anyone refer to own experiences on this matter? Ever heard of EVP? (Electronic Voice Phenomenon)
Performing a study and thankful for all help.

just some thoughts, I didn't read deeply on that topic so far but its
interesting:
- voices might be frequency pollution
There are loads of sounds around us which we cant hear. Although
recording equipment has its limits (digital obviousily but also analog),
maybe even due a mal- or not foreseen function it translates some sound
pollution into human audible range. I have here for instance a device
which is supposed to transfer supersonic to our range and it produces
some noises and actually works at least as a supersonic detector, I
tested it against supersonic emitters I used in an robotproject. But the
results sounds a bit that it uses FM to 'pitch' down the sounds, not
very convincing and nothing which can't be done on a Yamaha FM or
Software Synth.
- wish is the driver of perception
Sometimes people refer to unknown sounds to voices, for instance the
Theremin. Humans are trained, used, made to or whatever to filter /
recognizes patterns out of chaos. Especially faces seems to be important
for survival, there was once an experiment which shows that babys reacts
to pattern which barly resemble to a face, like you will do in a second
:)
Stare on a whitenoise TV and soon you start to phantasize things into, I
guess thats why all the tinfoilhat afficiendos sees faces or hear voices
all around so take care. Listen to noise or another example the wind,
and you might recognize something because you are trainend to hear
something.
Phrepas it is a smilaur tnihg lkie tihs.
Your brain bridge the gaps and make something out of chaos, simular to
an checksum error correction. My point is that these researcher picked
up some noise by accident and put more meaning into it then there it is.
Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of stuff out there which can't be
explainend yet and need more research. Things which are paranormal now
will be routine tomorrow.
Cheers,
Malte
