Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are sections of static noise on the radio or electronic recording that some listeners believe sound like voices speaking words; paranormal investigators sometimes interpret these noises as the voices of ghosts or spirits. Recording EVP has become a technique of those who attempt to contact the souls of dead loved ones or during ghost hunting activities. According to parapsychologist Konstantin Raudive, who popularized the idea, EVP are typically brief, usually the length of a word or short phrase.

Skeptics of the paranormal attribute the voice-like aspect of the sounds to apophenia (finding of significance or connections between insignificant or unrelated phenomena), auditory pareidolia (interpreting random sounds into voices in their own language which might otherwise sound like random noise to a foreign speaker), artifacts due to low-quality equipment, and simple hoaxes. Likewise some reported EVP can be attributed to radio interference or other well-documented phenomena.

References to EVP have appeared in the reality television shows Paranormal State , Ghost Adventures , Most Haunted , Celebrity Paranormal Project , and Ghost Hunters , the fictional television series Supernatural , Medium , Maury and Ghost Whisperer and Hollywood films such as White Noise and The Sixth Sense .

I have loved folk art paintings since I was a child.. When she died, she left me the painting and it hangs in a place of honor over my fireplace mantle. It's called First Trolley to Van Nuys and shows the center of a town filled with people. The painting that has touched me the most features a sad little girl and is called A Letter From My Mother. One of my favorites that she had was done by John Roeder. She looked so relaxed, that I could imagine what it felt like to lie there myself. My sister also shares my love for folk art. I personally don't have any of these in my collection, since I like to collect
