EVPs were first discovered quite by accident by Friedrich Jürgenson as he was recording bird calls near his home in Sweden during the 1950s. He was flabbergasted when he heard a man’s voice telling him how to better record the bird songs. Totally intrigued, Jürgenson continued his recordings for many years after that and subsequently published a book, Voices From the Universe, that described his method of electronic communication with the dead.
Some claim the discovery of EVPs goes much further back than that. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the telephone, was quoted in the publication Scientific American in the 1920s as saying: “Nobody knows whether our personalities pass on to another existence or sphere, but it is possible to construct an apparatus which will be so delicate that if there are personalities in another existence or sphere who wish to get in touch with us in this existence or sphere, this apparatus will at least give them a better opportunity to express themselves than the tilting tables and raps and Ouija boards and mediums and the other crude methods now purported to be the only means of communication.”
