reader comments: electronic voice phenomenon

Dear Professor Carroll, it is good to be skeptical, and indeed it seems to have become a necessary survival tool in these times.

Regarding EVP however, there is more to be said than what you may have heard from Mrs Estep et al.

I have researched the subject in some depth and with a background in applicable subjects. I am not, however, offering opinions.

The waveforms of EVP speech sounds are the "same" as those in natural speech, though with certain deficiencies. This is EVP produced in my own experiments under defined and controlled circumstances.

This is not a subject to be dismissed with a cursory glance at the written outpourings of the scientifically illiterate. That is all I am saying. And email is really not a suitable vehicle to take the matter further. Besides, you and I may have some lively ceilidhs to attend to instead ... or, in my case, at the moment, to recover from....
