You feel or see your first ghostly presence, capture your first EVP, photograph or video and it makes you realize there's more to the world around us than just the one we live in.  That's when  the journey begins and it's different for every person.  One aspect of  doing research and investigating is the possibility that our friends and loved ones who have crossed will come through on our evidence. Listed below is some of our "proof" that helps us believe that ghosts/spirits do exist .  by Rhonda Burton My spiritual evp research started after reading Sarah Estep's, Voices of Eternity.   I then joined the AAEVP which later became the Association of Trans Communication.  This research was to try and confirm that the soul's personality survived after death.  I learned much from the members and directors of this association, for which I'm forever grateful. The evp below is from my daughter, Jen, who passed in 2007.  The Christmas after she died I was trying to decide on making her an angel or halo Christmas ornament. That night when I recorded she spoke the words, "mommy, I'm an angel."  When I do my sessions I ask if there is any spirits who would like to communicate.  I never ask for names unless we're on location and are specifically trying to communicate with someone. "Mommy, I'm an angel." The following  evp's were recorded on a super moon night at home and was amazing.  You will hear  my daughter Heather and myself asking questions and responding to spirits, I was using the SB7.(Spirit Box 7) "I love you"   " I do"   "I'm Edward" "What's up Heather" ___________________________________________________ Calling Earth by Dan Drasin Documentary about communication with the deceased through modern technology.   This is a very informative video and  worth watching. www.vimeo.com/101171248 ___________________________________________________ Experimenting with different techniques is part of learning to communicate with spirit.  One of my favorite methods was created by Margaret Downey and it's a form of ITC (Instrumental Trans Communication).   This method is time consuming, but can be very rewarding.  The technique is using a pan or bowl of water, video camera/camera and a flashlight.  You shine the light to the side of the bowl and stir the water with your finger causing a ripple effect, then ask spirit to show themselves.  Record no longer than 30 seconds, upload video and review frame by frame. You will be viewing 30 frames per second and spirit will show up in one frame, if they choose.  You can also use a camera shooting continuous shots. I captured the images below at different locations.   1.Woman in Black  2. Eagle Head 3. Female, face in hands, leaning on elbows.         Series of faces in one frame, male face, dog, woman with child or animal, a man wearing a hat. ___________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Est. 1833 Old State House Museum is one of the most beautiful historical locations we've investigated.

She is ever present and would absolutely never miss a party." Evidence:  First visit to the Hanger House.  Owner was trying to find a photograph of the grandson of Mrs. Hanger. You will hear her talking, then a male's voice say, "back here."  The photograph was on the end of the table where we were sitting.  No men were present during the visit. "Back here"   "Back here" enhanced Rhonda asked, "do you go back to heaven?" A male spirit responds, "I do." "I do." Female spirit says, "I love you."  Then you will hear Rhonda and owner responding because dowsing rods were crossing after owner had asked a question. This was not heard real time.              " I love you." ___________________________________________________           Circa 1910 History:   This historic hospital was opened in 1910 and closed in 1973.  In 2006 it was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and also listed as a Arkansas Historic District.  Today the buildings and grounds are being used as a secure area that provides protection for the clients that reside there.  Only one building is available for investigations and does not interfere with the clients. Activity:   Shadow people, full bodied apparitions, loud noises, evp's of men, women and children, being touched, doors being slammed shut, these are a few reported activity from employees and paranormal groups. Evidence:  Rhonda & LaDonna were trying to take a picture of themselves and laughing.  You will hear Rhonda say, "perfect" then the female spirit say, 'this is silly stop."   "This is silly stop!" A loud bang, sounding like a gunshot, happened inside a room with Valerie, Debbie & Cathy.  Towards the end of the recording you will hear Debbie say, "did you get scared?" Valerie replied, "when you started screaming I did." You will then hear a voice say, "it was me." "It was me" Rhonda was using the SB7 (Spirit Box 7) asking for a name, the response was heard real time, he responded with, "Brad."   "Brad" Rhonda & Debbie were the only ones in the building, you will hear Rhonda say, "will you please try and talk to us?"  A male voice says, "I'll try."  The SB7 was also used during this evp session.

The general opinion on orbs is you either believe in them or you don't.  I know that most orbs you photograph or video are dust, but if you have a experience the same time an orb appears you have to consider something different is happening. ___________________________________________________    Circa 1842 History:    Walter's-Curran-Bell House (or Curran Hall) was built in 1842-43 and is one of the oldest residential structures in Little Rock. Activity: Rocking chair on back porch moving, picture in hallway falling off wall, feeling of being watched and touched, coffee pot turning on, employees locked in shed and bottle in curio cabinet moving. We have recorded many spirits  at Curran Hall, two have been past owners. Evidence:  On our first visit to Curran Hall, during an evp session, Rhonda asked several times who was visiting Curran Hall and could they tell us their name.  During this time Linda was dowsing and getting responses, when the temperature dropped.  Debbie detected a 7 degree difference in the area surrounding Linda. We believe this is the voice of Mary Walters, the original owner of the house. She says, "Mary, that's who I am."  Mary, that's who I am." Averell Tate was the last descendant of the Bell family who lived in the home. Below is an evp of a spirit saying, "Averell."  "Averell" On the last visit to Curran Hall Rhonda  and Linda  recorded the following evp's and were the only people present.  The "Woman in Black" Water Video Photograph above was also  taken at this time.   "Get out of here I'm talking"     "Alex"  "Tommy"  "The Bride Wore Black"  Episode - Click Here to Watch Rhonda Burton, Linda Howell & LaDonna Campbell  were featured on My Ghost Story telling the story of Mary and their experiences at Curran Hall.
