My wife and I visited Western Pennsylvania over the summer and on the way back from a favorite place of mine called "Dead Man's Hollow". She noticed a make-shift memorial on the side of the trail near some abandoned railroad tracks. I noticed a miniature tombstone, and many other mementoes left to honor this young man. I have collected many EVP's of spirits from many locations. I had no stereo recorder. Just an camera/phone. I recorded about eight seconds of audio. I left this young man to leave a short message. I recorded the video and left it for over three weeks, little realizing what it contained. When I played the video back, I noticed nothing out of the ordinary, but often spirits embed their messages in the audio, so I processed the audio separately. After playing it back, there appeared to be the sound of a gunshot. Playing it for several people far more familiar with the report of a firearm than I am, they agreed that it was indeed a gunshot. Interviewing a local fireman whose search and rescue team found the young man, he admitted that the fellow committed su***de by firearm. How did this get into the recording? I won't know, but I am saddened by his untimely death. To hear this clip, kindly email me at [email protected].
