It would seem some topics might be better for consideration than others. 

EVPs are problematic, not only because we don't have the full context, but because it is difficult to know if they are even technically EVPs or just anomalous sounds that weren't noticed, or were intentially generated, at the time of the recording. 

On the other hand, in a video, one might be able to discern the actual mechanism of fraud.

Precisely what I said in post #2… 

Plus EVP has become a catchall word/acronym for any sound.  GH has referred to some things as EVPs that were heard during the investigation itself by the investigators at the time.  That does not fit the definition of an EVP which, in part, is a sound not heard at the time and only captured on a recording device by some as-yet unsatisfactorily explained process.

I've been thinking about this (non) EVP and Stephen's post. I made the mistake of listening so intently for the whisper that I mentally blocked out the investigators speech so I never connected the "they don't care" whisper to the rest of the ongoing conversation. I still don't know how I got "thank you" from it either. It's actually quite  fascinating. I reckon it would make a good case study for how some EVP's materialize.

Anyone tried to point this out to them? I wonder what their reaction would be? Acceptance or denial?
