EVPs->Ghosts of Long Island II - White Noise EVP Recordings

On this page are examples of EVP recordings from Joe Giaquinto's paranormal investigations with author and historian, Kerriann Flanagan Brosky. These EVPs are featured in Kerriann's second historical ghost story book, GHOSTS OF LONG ISLAND II: More Stories of the Paranormal (2008).

Ketcham Inn
Appears on page 60 of the book

This is an unusual EVP. You hear it at 15 seconds. You hear a forward EVP and a reverse EVP from the same segment pasted together back to back. The forward clip says, "For Miss" and the reverse segment says, "Emerald". Pasted together they say, "For Miss Emerald." Maybe a patron at the ballroom had a table reserved. As often happens we get phenomena right after I comment on something happening around us. This EVP occurred right after I said, "I'm getting a chill now."

Joe: "Okay, so the question is, are, you want to ask it is--who is the builder of this house?" Spirit: "Confident?" Joe: "Okay. The builder of this house--you want to identify themselves?" Spirit: "We'll try."

Spy Coast Farm
Appears on page 123 of the book

We had a grand experience while walking through the woods in Strong's Neck. As we approached the water, off in the distance through the soft sound of the pelting rain, was the sound of cannon or gun fire--probably imprints from warships of the Revolutionary War. This recording is a montage of those shells and muskets. You can even hear the repeat of the guns echoing in the distance. When these sounds first occurred, we all heard them with our own ears. We were very excited to see the recorder had also picked several of them up.

St. George's Manor

Rhinelander House
Appears on pages 178-179 of the book

A strange music begins to play in the parlor which several of us heard. It was a very faint type of calliope or harpsichord music like you'd hear in the old days. It had a music-box tinny sound to it. Everyone said their cell phones did not cause it. The event occurs from 12-18 seconds. (The audio volume was raised during the sound event so you could hear it better). At the end of this sound clip is another event - you hear a bang on the pipes even though the heat was off.

Joseph Smith Hawkins House

During the investigation, Kerriann picks up a voice saying, "Yaahh." EVP recording courtesy of Kerriann Flanagan Brosky.

WSM=William Sidney Mount WSM: Joseph. JOE: Spirit? Is William Sidney Mount here? William Sidney Mount, William Sidney Mount. I think he's here, Mr. Mount is here. WSM: Okay. JOE: You know, I was going to give a speech on you, Mr. Mount. WSM: Thank heaven, they will hear. JOE: But they cancelled the event. Not enough people showed up and it was really sad because I wanted to talk about--your work. KERRIANN: [Yeah and] this room is empty. JOE: See Mister--Sidney Mount was very unhappy about--the Spiritualist Movement. He was um… KERRIANN: Yeah I have all these papers that Bob gave me. JOE: He was really into it and then he got disenchanted with the whole thing. WSM: True. JOE: …which is sad. KERRIANN: Oh, is that what happened? That's [unbelievable]. JOE: I think, I believe so. Of what I've read and researched of him. He was a… he really was into… Oh look! Kerriann, Kerriann, look!… JOE: Look, look! The door is opening. Did you see that? JOE: No, you see all that? See how much energy it would take to do that? Okay so he has had a phenomena, the door beckoned us, it actually opened a little bit, opened up wide, about a foot, maybe three-quarters of a foot wide. It's not windy. It's a screen door so the air passes through it and it's a heavy spring. KERRIANN: Stay right there… JOE: It's a heavy spring door that wouldn't have opened on its own. Kerriann pulled the door open and it sprung right back so it's not just a free-wheeling door. I think--I think Mr. Mount opened the door for us. We both saw it. KERRIANN: Yeah, we did! JOE: Kerriann and I watched the door swing to and fro a bit and then close on its own. There's no wind by the way. The wind is dead right now. KERRIANN: Wow. JOE: So we just had a door-opening phenomena. Thank you. KERRIANN: Tell Bob this. JOE: Yeah, thank you spirits. Um, now. Question is: Do you want me to take a picture of you? WSM: Okay. JOE: [I can] use the screen reflection. Can you show up there? There is little bit of wind but it's nothing, nothing egregious. WSM: I'll write to you. JOE: Kerriann, that was it. That was as best as good as it gets my dear. That was a perfect opened right when we got to the door. He opened up for us. KERRIANN: That, that was really amazing. WSM: Joe. JOE: You like that one? See that's what happened East Wind; we had a door open and close. By the way, I'm having a different breeze. There is wind around us, it's a cold wind, but it's not--it's not the breeze. We have spirits around us right now. Look at the… look! KERRIANN: Woah, Joe! Two hawks? JOE: Two hawks--one for each of us. KERRIANN: Wha… what is your take on this? JOE: Oh, I think it's all good. WSM: Okay.
