EVP Classification
Scale
by TEAM GHOULI (Tonya
Hacker)
GHOULI classifications are above most standards set within the community. We try to categorize EVP while we are at locations. Attempting to get the same voice, with a different phrase is key to understanding the phenomena & intelligence levels behind EVP. Getting intelligent and responsive reactions to direct questions or comments is the best way to validate a potential EVP. Random noises and unexplainable whispers are not valid EVP because of possible noise contaminants at each and every location.
NOTICE!-
A lot of people have adopted this simple scale when it comes
to classifying EVP. Feel free to use this but please link us

Setting higher standards within the community has shown proof that every type of environment can produce a potentially false EVP. Awareness of your surroundings and controlling the environment as best as you can has been proven to benefit a teams EVP collection efforts. Working with natural acoustics & sound waves within a room or location is also beneficial to EVP collection.
We believe our standards of validation shows that there can be spoken truth about the afterlife. Direct responses and answers to our questions is what wee seek. GHOULI does not condone the use of audio editing software to enhance EVP. We believe if the voice is truly paranormal, it will be audible and clear enough to validate as a voice from beyond. Collecting EVP in its natural state, working with sound waves within the environment has profited our team and our questions about the unknown.

Classification
scale
-
Class A EVP -
100% audible, clear voice & intelligent or reactive responses, not random noise or words. Example: having direct questions responded to or reaction statement. Audible to the human ear no enhancements needed, no question to what the voice is saying. Low Hz levels do not always apply with true Class A EVP. Some have registered on a higher frequency as the team present, other data to support the potential EVP claim, such as other tape recorders, and or video gear.
-
Class B EVP
- Practically audible, some doubt to the interpretation, syllables & consonant pronunciation is questionable. Appropriate tone & timing to question or statement made by team member. Frequency levels are also undetermined, but usually found on the low end of the spectrum. Non English EVP are placed in this category.
-
Class C EVP - Frequency levels support this unexplainable voice, not always audible, but some constants are present. Timing & tone apply to this category. Direct response is not required. Random voices or tones apply in this category. Out of text words or phrases that are not explained by correlating data. Audible, but faint, not a whisper or murmur those will fall into the Class G
category.
-
Class D EVP - Non published or announced EVP. This may be an EVP, but it is too questionable to declare as paranormal. Whispers, faint murmurs, breathe like sounds and airy sounding voices. This classification is not the trash barrel for EVP; it is simply a holding area until the EVP has been validated by all data. Usually Class D EVP are not published or presented as paranormal phenomena.
