Paranormal Evidence Archive
Exploring Paranormal Evidence
This Paranormal Evidence Archive contains EVP recordings, investigation findings, historical research, photographs, and case studies collected during HGWI investigations since 2004.
The evidence collected during an investigation may include audio recordings, photographs, video footage, environmental observations, witness testimony, historical research, and investigator documentation. While some cases produce compelling recordings or unusual observations, many investigations provide answers through careful research, documentation, and the elimination of natural explanations.
While some cases produce compelling recordings or unusual observations, others involve personal experiences reported by clients or witnessed firsthand by investigators that cannot be easily documented. Many investigations ultimately provide answers through careful research, documentation, and the elimination of natural explanations.
Our goal is not simply to collect evidence, but to understand the experiences being reported and preserve the history connected to the locations we investigate.
The examples presented here represent a small portion of the material collected during HGWI investigations and are shared with respect for client privacy, historical preservation, and investigative integrity.
We approach each investigation with an open mind, professional documentation standards, and a commitment to objective analysis.
What We Document
Every investigation tells a story. While no two cases are exactly alike, HGWI documents a variety of evidence, observations, and historical information to better understand the experiences being reported.
Our investigations may include audio recordings, photographs, video footage, witness testimony, historical research, environmental observations, and detailed case documentation. Each piece of information is evaluated within the context of the entire investigation rather than as a standalone event.
The examples below represent some of the methods, materials, and findings that help us document activity, preserve history, and assist the individuals who request our help.
EVP & Audio Recordings
Electronic Voice Phenomena, or EVP, has been one of the most frequently documented evidence types during HGWI investigations. Each recording is reviewed carefully and considered within the full context of the case.
Moon River Brewery
Featured EVP: “The Mortician”
Moon River Brewing EVP #1
Location: Moon River Brewery – Savannah, GA
Context: This EVP was recorded by investigator Ed while the team was working on the upper floors of the building. Ed can be heard saying “flash” at the beginning of the recording, with the unexplained voice following shortly afterward. The voices heard near the end of the clip belong to HGWI investigators who were present during the session.
The voice captured in this recording was informally nicknamed “The Mortician” by team members because of its unusually deep and distinctive tone. More than one investigator commented that it sounded like the voice of a movie mortician, and the nickname quickly became part of the investigation’s vocabulary.
We encourage visitors to listen to the recording before viewing the investigator notes and decide for themselves what they hear. During the review process, investigators independently reported a high degree of agreement regarding the apparent message captured in the recording.
Reveal Investigator Notes
Investigator Interpretation:
This EVP is somewhat eerie in tone, but the apparent message itself seems friendly enough.
After reviewing the recording, investigators generally agreed that the voice appears to say:
“Talk to me longer.”
As with all EVP recordings, visitors are encouraged to listen first and decide for themselves what they hear before viewing the investigator interpretation.
Moon River Brewing EVP #2
Location: Moon River Brewery – Savannah, GA
Context: Ed recorded this EVP during our investigation of the upper floors of Moon River Brewery in Savannah, Georgia. At the beginning of the recording, Ed can be heard saying, “As soon as she , ah, gets ready… Flash.” Listen carefully after this statement, and you will hear a faint whisper approximately one second later.
Visitors may also notice the sound of a cough near the end of the recording. This sound was made by one of the investigators present and is not considered part of the EVP.
We encourage visitors to listen to the recording before revealing the investigators’ interpretation. This gives you an opportunity to decide for yourself what is being said before reading our conclusions.
Reveal Investigator Notes
What We Hear:
“I died over here.”
Investigator Notes:
This is the type of EVP investigators hope to hear during an investigation rather than discover later during evidence review. Had the voice been heard in real time, it would have provided an opportunity to ask follow-up questions and explore the apparent statement further. As with all EVP recordings, we encourage listeners to draw their own conclusions after reviewing the audio.
Hot Dog Heaven EVP #1
Location: Hot Dog Heaven – Woodstock, GA
Context: This EVP was recorded during an HGWI investigation of Hot Dog Heaven in Woodstock, Georgia. Investigator Laurie captured the recording while her team was conducting a sweep of the restaurant. The group working in this area that evening consisted entirely of female investigators.
The area where this recording was captured had attracted the attention of both team sensitives earlier in the investigation. Although working independently as part of separate teams, both reported sensing a presence in the same general location. The fact that the sweep team consisted entirely of female investigators would later become a noteworthy detail during evidence review.
We encourage visitors to listen to the recording before revealing the investigators’ interpretation. This EVP remains one of our favorite captures and has been discussed frequently within the team over the years.
Reveal Investigator Notes
What We Hear:
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Investigator Notes:
Several investigators independently reported hearing what sounded like a polite acknowledgment delivered in a distinctly Southern accent during evidence review. The voice was not recognized at the time of the investigation and was only discovered later while reviewing the audio recordings. It is always interesting when an EVP appears to contain a recognizable accent or regional speech pattern. The apparent accent heard in this recording has made it one of the team’s most memorable captures.
What makes this recording particularly interesting is not only the apparent response itself, but also the personality conveyed by the voice. Many team members described it as sounding courteous, conversational, and natural in its delivery. As with all EVP recordings, interpretations can vary, and we encourage listeners to review the audio carefully and draw their own conclusions.
Blackshear Home EVP #1
Location: Blackshear Home – Georgia
Context: This EVP was recorded by investigator Laurie during HGWI’s first investigation of a private residence that would eventually become an ongoing case lasting more than a year.
Historical research and information provided by the family indicated that a 16-year-old girl named Pearle was killed on the property in a kerosene lamp explosion in 1910. Family members also reported experiences that they believed could be connected to Pearle, as well as possible activity associated with other individuals connected to the property.
Over the course of four separate investigations, HGWI documented a variety of unusual experiences and collected evidence that made this one of the more memorable cases in our archives.
During this recording, investigator Ed asks a simple question. After a brief pause, a faint response can be heard.
We encourage visitors to listen to the recording before revealing the investigators’ interpretation. This recording was not recognized during the investigation and was only discovered later during evidence review.
Reveal Investigator Notes
What We Hear:
“Pearle”
Investigator Notes:
This EVP was discovered during evidence review and was not heard at the time it was recorded. During the recording, investigator Ed asks, “Would you like to tell us your name?” After a brief pause, several investigators independently reported hearing the same response when reviewing the audio.
What makes this recording particularly interesting is the apparent relevance of the response to the history associated with the property. Historical research and family accounts identified a 16-year-old girl named Pearle who died on the property in 1910 after suffering fatal injuries in a kerosene lamp explosion on the second floor of the residence.
While EVPs are inherently subjective and interpretations may vary, this recording remains one of the most discussed pieces of evidence collected during our investigation of the property. As always, we encourage listeners to review the audio carefully and draw their own conclusions.
Allatoona Pass EVP #1
Location: Allatoona Pass – Georgia
Context: This EVP was recorded by investigator Casey during an HGWI investigation of Allatoona Pass.
While walking a trail on the lake side of the pass, team members observed what appeared to be a man standing ahead of them. Believing the figure to be an ordinary person, investigators called out to greet him and determine who he was. Instead of responding, the individual immediately turned and ran into the woods.
At the time, investigator Tim was serving in law enforcement. Concerned by the individual’s behavior and uncertain of his intentions, Tim became worried about the safety of both his team and another HGWI team working elsewhere on the property. With those concerns in mind, he gave chase.
According to the team members present, the pursuit continued through the woods until the trail approached a sharp bend near a small cliff. The figure appeared to continue straight ahead and vanished from sight. Focused on the pursuit, Tim narrowly avoided going over the edge after catching hold of a nearby tree.
It was during this sequence of events that Casey’s recorder captured the following audio.
Visitors may also hear a brief comment from investigator Casey near the end of the recording. This voice is part of the investigators’ conversation and is not considered part of the EVP.
We encourage visitors to listen to the recording before revealing the investigators’ interpretation. This recording was not recognized at the time it was captured and was only discovered later during evidence review.
Reveal Investigator Notes
What We Hear:
“Excuse me!”
Investigator Notes:
This EVP was discovered during evidence review and was not heard by investigators at the time of the recording. Several team members independently reported hearing the same phrase when reviewing the audio.
What makes this recording particularly memorable is the unusual sequence of events occurring as the recording was being made. The voice appears near the end of the same sequence of events in which investigators reported encountering and pursuing an unidentified figure on the trail.
Listeners will also hear a brief comment from investigator Casey near the end of the recording. This voice is part of the investigators’ conversation and is not considered part of the EVP.
While EVPs are inherently subjective and interpretations may vary, this recording has remained one of the more frequently discussed pieces of evidence collected during our investigations of Allatoona Pass. As always, we encourage listeners to review the audio carefully and draw their own conclusions.
Hell’s Church EVP #1
Location: Hell’s Church – Canton, Georgia
Context: This EVP was recorded as investigators were preparing to leave Hell’s Church. At the time of the recording, Laurie was the only female investigator near the recorder. Her voice can be heard faintly beneath the EVP, but the recorded voice is considerably louder and stands apart from the conversation taking place at the time.
As with all EVP recordings, we encourage listeners to review the audio before reading our interpretation.
Reveal Investigator Notes
What We Hear:
“It’s wonderful.”
Investigator Notes:
This EVP has remained one of our favorite recordings because of both its clarity and its apparent tone. The voice sounds to us like that of an older woman speaking over Laurie’s voice as the investigation was coming to a close.
What makes the recording particularly interesting is the message itself. Unlike many reported EVP recordings that seem difficult to interpret or appear confrontational, this voice sounds calm and positive.
If our interpretation is correct, we often find ourselves wondering about the meaning behind the statement. Was the speaker describing her surroundings? Was she expressing happiness that someone had stopped by to visit? Or was she speaking about the afterlife itself? More than twenty years later, we still don’t know the answer.
As always, interpretations may vary, and we encourage listeners to decide for themselves what they hear.
As part of the ongoing rebuild of the Historic Ghost Watch & Investigation website, this section is currently being expanded and updated.
Over the coming days and weeks, I will be adding EVP recordings, investigation evidence, and case studies collected throughout our years in the field. Some material from our previous website is also being reviewed and brought forward so that it can continue to be shared with visitors.
Thank you for your patience as we continue building and preserving HGWI’s history, one piece at a time.
