Thanks for posting this link, Brian.  You always find the best stuff on the internet for us to rag about.

Actually, there are a few EVP on this top ten list that are interesting, and a few that are patently suspect or outright fraudulent. 

There are dozens and dozens of reports of audible voice phenomena in the pool area of the Queen Mary.  I, too, have captured this same AVP of a little girl shouting in the distance.  It's a sound piped-in, intentionally, by the Queen Mary staff, from the adjoining area of the ship where they annually host a "Haunted House" attraction.  So, just cross that one off the list. 

The one with SDGH and Debbie and Mark Constantino present, where Debbie is demurely raising her left pinkie under her chin . . . Well, that's it.  I think I've made my argument.  Cross that one off the list, too.

The one of the children laughing seems suspect to me, also.  Obviously, I can't make claims about what I wasn't involved in, but to me it sounds like casters on a wooden floor or a squeaky kitchen drawer, not children's laughter.  Whatever they're claiming these kids are saying, I'm hearing a completely different phonetic set, with more syllables.  Sorry. Just not buying that one.

There are a few, though, that are intriguing.  The Spanish language EVP is pretty impressive, if it's not another example of a digital recorder modulating a voice to translate overlapping voices.  I don't think it is, in this case.  Hard to dispute that one.  The one with General Andres Pico saying, "No, it can't be" was pretty good.  Nice and clear.  I wish they didn't muck it up with a reference to the footstep, though, which kind of weakens the impact.  A carping, though.  Good one.  And their number one EVP at the train station is excellent.  It's also of great interest to me, personally, because--once again--it happens while a loud source of noise is nearby, lending credence to the theory that a strong source of sound waves acts like a medium for EVP, like voices carried on the wind. 

All in all, a mixed bag.  I like the presentation, though, insofar as it's a countdown of top ten clips.  That would be kind of cool to do on our site--minus the old newsreel effect, though.  (I was expecting honky-tonk piano music at any moment. ::|)

LOL! I was expecting some piano music too!

Well, if they had included the honky-tonk music
then it would have been worth watch ... for me anyway.

Very interesting. None of them gave me the heebie-jeebies, which sometimes happens when listening to EVP's.

The General clearly had the Mexican accent nuances , which is intriguing.

I thought , like Karl, that the laughing children sounded mechanical.

Some of them, I couldn't hear what APRA was hearing, like #1) "Here I am.",  or #3) "I want my mommy."  The scream in #4) sounds like someone outside being silly.
