4. Have you ever seen a bunny-rabbit in the clouds?
EVP, when honest, is just that - A pattern observed in randomness. Your brain will suppress noise and find patterns even where none exist because that is how it deals with real signals, like voices on a windy day.

Sometimes it is a fraud - If you record, loudly, a voice onto a magnetic tape, and then record room noise over that tape, you can often hear the original recording when you play back the ambient noise tape even though the tape passed over the erase head of the machine prior to the recording head.

This is usually enough, but it is also fairly simple to weaken or disable the erase head in the recorder. In fact, when I was a kid, this was what we did in our electronic audio experiments to lay down additional tracks.

EVP is pure Humbug.

5. No, but I have a cool ghost photo :)
This picture was taken on a CT highway, where a female hitchhiker was supposedly killed. The legend is, that many people have seen her apparition run in front of their car.

No one present saw anything unusual. They just took a few pictures of the site, and this is one of them. Look in the upper right corner.





I scanned this a few years ago, with a really lousy scanner. The original was much more impressive.
