Electronic Voice Phenomenon PK Experiment

Problem: / Voices heard on various recording equipment that make seemingly relevant statements, comments, and in some cases provide answers to direct questions. Frequency analysis of the voices captured suggests that they are not the voices of paranormal investigators, and in other cases the voices are recorded when there is no living person in a particular space.
Hypothesis: / Some EVP recordings are transferred to the recording media from individuals in close proximity subconsciously through PK.
Experiment: / Overall experimental plan – Using a laptop or desktop computer in a generally quiet space a volunteer will watch an interactive short video with a digital audio device recording the event in real-time. The video will require the individual to state their name and answer some questions aloud so that a frequency signature of their voice can be established.
The video will prompt the subject to think without speaking while viewing pictures and words that depict the following:
-Emotions (Happiness, Despair, Courage, Love, Hate, Fear)
-Objects (Trees, Buildings, Landmarks, Physical Items)
Experiment control will be established using a single digital audio recorder set to record at the beginning of the experiment.
The independent variable will be the video playing in its entirety.
The dependent variable will be the subject responses both aloud and by thought.
