This EVP is to-date the most convincing recording I
have gotten simply because I can find no explanation other than the
obvious. I have been dabbling with EVP recordings for about 4
months, and on this occasion decided to take a day trip to Bannack,
Montana, which is a mining town that has been preserved as a state
park. It has been pretty well documented that Bannack is haunted by
two ghosts, one older woman and that of Dorothy Dunn who drowned
while playing in Grasshopper Creek on August 4, 1916. Both of these
ghosts are said to reside on the second floor of the Hotel Meade. At
the time of this recording, there is no one else in the hotel at the
time. I was the only visitor left on this evening and no personnel
were in the hotel.
As you reach the top of the staircase, the feeling of a presence is
palpable and I was actually hesitant to go over to the locked doors
(they lock these doors because of supernatural events which have
occurred prior). I stood silent with the digital recorder going for
about 5 minutes so as not to corrupt the recording and so I could
concentrate on external noises. I then walked the upstairs hallway
and back to the locked doors, and in one specific area it was much
colder than the rest of the upstairs. I then decided to try and egg
this ghost on into talking to me so I proceeded to ask her if she is
a chicken. In the recording you will hear me ask the question then
you will hear a distinct giggle, then I say "I think she's a little
chicken," and I believe quite clearly in a playful voice and tone
she says, "little chicken from the farm," with a pronounced accent
in her voice. When I played this recording back I was literally in
tears. Please let me know what you think. I have attached the sound
file and a picture of the hotel.
