What do you mean “bizarre things people transmit”?
I need to hear that. Any kinds of that.
Earlier I tried to find Electronic Voice Phenomenon recordings on YpuTub and it was useless. Just people talking about it.
I don’t want some people talking ABOUT stuff. I want the stuff.
Oh, I think the EVP stuff is mostly bullshit. I didn't say that directly, but shared some information that would help explain some of the things people may hear. If there are EVP recordings, I would likely just ignore them on a platform like YourTubs anyway.
Here are some examples of legit, strange transmissions: https://youtu.be/vSvvSAvOzI8?si=MHoN9dVxnY6JjMeA
That same guy does recordings of other weird signals as well. I have listened in on some of this stuff personally, so I believe this guy doesn't really have motivation to fake anything.
Yeah. I thought so. And yeah, I understand pareidolia.
I mean. I’m not sure if I believe in EVP. But when I listen to them I get creeped out.
And it seems possible that both could be true—pareidolia and ghost EVP. But do I believe? I don’t know. I get creeped out.
Yes. YoTub is terrible crap. The whole internet is so monetized I can’t find just a simple website with old Japanese Onryō tales. Like in old internet days there would be just small websites with stuff on them. Without all the “here’s my podcast” or “download our APP” or advertising everywhere.
