We use audio equipment for two important reasons. The
first is to document the investigation. It's much easier
to report a certain reading or observation by talking
into a recorder than to write it all down. The second
is to capture and collect EVP.
EVP stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena. This is where
voices that are not accountable for show up on an audio
tape. Most EVP is not heard in person but is discovered
later after listening to the recorded tape. These voices
are sometimes recognized as loved ones who have past on,
which is why EVP is considered apart of the paranormal
field.
