EVP from main basement of the Granada Theater

I got home the other night from an investigation of, ironically, the Granada Theater, which we did in combination with Yussi Paranormal's rather large group to find a hateful post on YouTube regarding one of our earlier Granada Theater EVP videos.
"You guys are fake as hell!! Stop making stupid-ass videos...No wonder there are so many skeptics out there!" is what this guy had to say.
I guess the saying is correct, if you don't have haters, you're not doing it right.
So I deleted this spew, and wrote him back a polite, yet stern email letting him know that:
A) Everything we do is 100% real. We don't fake anything, never have, and never will. There are countless people who can, and will attest to this.
B) Defamation, such as libel and slander, can cost a gob of money to defend against, so, regardless of the stresses that he faces in life that cause him to snipe at people while hiding behind the Internet, he should really know what he's talking about before spewing his hate.
C) That maybe his visceral public reaction was due to this EVP sounding too good to be true, to be real. Well, it is real, it is true, so get over it.

In this vein, I published both the previously unpublished forward version of this EVP and the previously published (in video format) backward "Get Out" version in MP3 format on YoureOn.net. They were uploaded there because, unlike YouTube, you can upload straight audio there without it having to be attached to a video, and people can download said audio items.

Forward version of basement EVP


Backward version of basement EVP


I then invited him to download these audios and examine them, with a challenge to "debunk" them. He won't be able to debunk them though, nor can anyone else, as they are authentic. I even pointed him to a site where he could get free software to play and analyze the recordings with.

Usually when somebody does something like the hateful sniping this guy did, they're simply trying to drag you down into the same self-pity filled hole they're in, or they're looking for promotion for their own videos, or they have some sort of "Vigilante Self Gratification" complex that needs stoking. I understand all that, but know your facts.

How this EVP came to be found.
I am a sensitive, but not a very good one, in that it is something I can not control. What this means is I can, on occasion, pick up on energies and imprints from the past. I have demonstrated this time and again, and anyone who knows me well can attest to this. In the main basement of the Granada Theater I picked up on some things that were imprinted, embedded in that basement. One was an intensely emotional scene, the other rather mundane, though they were connected. I have never published the scenes, and I never will, though I did pass this information on to one man who is key at the Granada Theater. I thought it was silly, this impression, and was sure I had fabricated it from my own imagination. Much to my surprise, another well known sensitive empathic had picked up on pretty much the same thing about a month earlier, though I did not know this until 5 MONTHS after my first visit to the Granada Theater. I was absolutely floored.
When we began leaving the basement of the theater, one of the guides began telling me a joke. I listened to his joke as closely as I could, so as not to be rude, but as we approached, then climbed the steep stairs out of the basement, something grabbed my attention to my left side. It was very, very strong, and would not be ignored. Most of the way up the stairs on either side is concrete, and I turned to look at it, puzzled as to why my attention was being so strongly pulled to the left. "It's just concrete, for goodness sake, there can't be anything there" I thought. Meanwhile the guide continued his long joke, something about men falling down, but I couldn't recite the joke to this day, because I only heard about every third word, my attention so strongly pulled left.
If you listen to the forward version of the EVP, you'll hear the joke, and every time a man falls down in the joke, the guide says "Ahhhhhh."
Now, I did not consciously hear or remember any of the "Ahhhhhh"'s in the joke, my attention drawn elsewhere, so when I reviewed the recording from that section of the hunt, I was sincerely bothered and puzzled as to what the "Ahhhhhh"'s were. It sounded like a woman going "Ahhhhhh," so my assumption was that it was Amber or Bridget who said the "Ahhhhhh"'s. I asked both, and each said no, they said nothing of the sort.
Back to square one. I had to eliminate the "Ahhhhhh"'s as something paranormal, and I had no memory of them, so I was stumped. I asked co-founder Justin to listen to them, and it was his friend Sergio, who had been there that night, who figured out and volunteered what the "Ahhhhhh"'s were. It was the guide. The "Ahhhhhh"'s were part of the guides joke. Man falls down and says ahhhhhh! Man falls again and says ahhhhhh!
This was after I had listened to this recording 50 or 60 times myself, and I was still puzzled, but now it made sense, and I felt like a complete idiot. I listened a few more times, and sure enough, Sergio was right. Ok, mystery solved.
Still, something had grabbed my near full attention down there, so I was still baffled.
Now I turned my attention to the weird sonics I observed in the same recording when I had played it over and over trying to figure out the "Ahhhhhh"'s, as if it were some great song. There was one particular spot which sounded almost like a long, deep voiced note from a song in the background, and that was the spot I focused on. I could not make any sense of it through any normal methods, slowing it down in increments down to 10%, speeding it up in increments up to 1000% normal. I took it into the equalizer to filter out other sounds, as I thought it sounded modulated, like syllables. Goose egg. Still couldn't tell what it was. I changed the tempo and pitch, and still nothing. The last thing to try was reversing it. As luck would have it, the section that I highlighted and clipped out for reversal had the resonant sonic I mentioned above, and a second sound I had not heard in the forward version.
When I listened to the reversed version, the previously unheard sound said something which sounded an awful lot like a very quick "getout." I was stunned. I sat at my desk still listening as the reverse recording continued to play. "Whoa, what was tha..."
Then the second one played, the rich, resonant sonic I had previously only heard forward. All doubt was removed. "Get Out" was clearly enunciated. I pushed my chair away from my desk absolutely stunned, shocked to the point of inaction as the recording continued for a few more seconds, then ended.
Oh my, I thought, we got something here. I went and got a team member from the other room, sat down at my desk and cued the recording while asking him to listen and asked him to tell me what he thought.
He listened passively while the first, fast "getout" played, and I checked his face for a reaction. Nothing. Then the second "Get Out" played, and his eyes got as big as saucers, he turned to the door, ran out, slamming the door behind him.
I couldn't help but laugh, because had I been standing when I first heard it, I too would have likely fled.
So we then created the video to display what was found. In retrospect, we probably should have included both versions, the forward version and reverse version, in the video, but we were still pretty new at creating videos as the time.

Oh, it would be a simple thing to do, to fake stuff, but seriously, what does one gain? Our goal is to prove life exists after living, but do so by INVALIDATING evidence and findings, not CREATING findings. Well over 99% of what we find is invalidated for one reason or another, and is never posted. Even a good deal of good findings are put on the shelf if we can not explain why it is the way it is.

See, I'll be the first to volunteer that we're not good, we're just very, very lucky. Sometimes things just fall into our laps. One caveat though, and it's a lyric from an old Rush tune: Good work is the key to good fortune.
Had I not taken the initiative to ferret out that sonic, we would have never found the "Get Out" EVPs.

Let me make it simple:
The two biggest, best assets a parnormal group has is its integrity, and its people. I mention integrity first because it is infinitly more important than a group's people. A paranormal group can operate with as little as one person, and as people come and go, the group continues. However a group can not operate without it's integrity. Period. And nothing will ever get us to sacrifice our integrity.
