What is the AA-EVP?

The American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena (AA-EVP) is a nonprofit educational association that is dedicated to the support of people who are interested in or who are studying Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) and other forms of Instrumental TransCommunication (ITC). This website offers examples, techniques and concepts concerning these phenomena.

EVP are anomalous, intelligible speech recorded in or produced by electronic devices, and for which no currently understood physical explanations can account.

The study of EVP concerns unexpected voices found in recording media or heard as an output of devices capable of processing voice, and is studied as a form of after death communication. ITC is a newer term that includes all of the ways these unexpected voices and images are collected through technology, including EVP. Of the many hypotheses designed to explain these phenomena, the Survival Hypothesis has been found to be most effective in answering the evidence, and therefore, the most useful for designing research protocols.

What is the Survival Hypothesis?

People report experiences such as hauntings events or EVP, and these experiences can be verified and often replicated as objective events. Careful examination of these reports has not produced explanations to account for them based on currently understood science. In order to develop experimental protocols that might lead to better understanding of these reported phenomena, it is necessary to speculate that there may be physical and or nonphysical processes that are not currently understood by mainstream science. The Survival Hypothesis is designed to pose the question: "What if there is more to reality than has been documented? If there is more, what would it look like, how would it behave and how might it be studies?"

The Survival Hypothesis holds that people are etheric personalities able to exist in the physical aspect of reality because of the physical body. When the physical body "dies," or when the person is in some way distracted from the physical, personality changes its point of view back to its more natural awareness in the etheric aspect of reality. In effect, the hypothesis proposes that people exist before and after this lifetime.

Current research is showing that there is empirical support for the Survival Hypothesis, and that there is a clear need for further study. The implications to humanity in general, and specifically to science, are profound. At the very least, the new questions posed by current research foretell a new view of reality that promises to make these phenomena common-place and no more mysterious than is the rest of our world. 

As you will see in this website, the AA-EVP is not about religion, but it is about sharing concepts, finding ways to use EVP and ITC to alleviate the grief of losing a loved one to the “Other Side” and finding better ways to communicate across the veil. The Articles section includes many articles that will help you get started and try different ways to work with these phenomena, while the Phenomena Examples section will give you an idea of what to look for in your own experiments.

The Association was founded in 1982 by Sarah Estep. It is currently directed by Tom and Lisa Butler and is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The AA-EVP membership includes people living in over twenty countries who record paranormal voices, pictures and information from friends and loved ones on the other side through audio recorders, telephones, television, computers and video recorders.
