What is the telephone experiment?📱

The Phone Experiment is a simple but intriguing paranormal investigation technique that uses a mobile phone to potentially capture EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena), unexplained voices, or paranormal interactions in haunted spaces. This method works well for beginners and seasoned investigators alike and doesn’t require expensive equipment—just a phone, a quiet location, and some curiosity.

📱 How To Conduct The Phone Experiment in a Haunted Location

Here’s a step-by-step guide to conducting the Phone Experiment in a haunted location:

🔧 What You’ll Need

A smartphone (with audio recording and/or call function)

Headphones or speaker (optional, for playback)

A quiet location, ideally allegedly haunted

A flashlight or low light (for safety)

A notepad (physical or digital) for observations

☎️ Method 1: The Live Phone Call Experiment

This variation uses two people and two phones to attempt real-time communication with any spirits present.

✅ How To Do It:

Set the scene in the haunted location. Choose a quiet room with minimal external noise.

One investigator stays in the room with the phone, while the second person calls them from another room or location.

Put the call on speaker, and remain silent.

Ask questions aloud like:

“Is anyone here with us?”

“What’s your name?”

“Can you tell us why you’re here?”

Leave pauses for responses.

The person on the other end listens for whispers, distortions, or unexplained voices.

Record the call if possible, for review.

👻 Why it’s Interesting:

Some believe spirits can manipulate electronic signals, and phone lines offer a strange and open medium for communication.

🎙️ Method 2: Solo EVP Recording with Phone

✅ How To Do It:

Open your phone’s voice memo or recording app.

Place the phone on a flat surface in the haunted location.

Start recording.

Begin an EVP session, speaking clearly with pauses:

“Is there anyone here?”

“Can you make a sound?”

“What’s your message for us?”

Let it record for 5–10 minutes.

Play it back through headphones, listening for:

Strange voices

Distortions

Static with meaning

👀 Tips For A More Effective Session

Stay still and quiet during recordings to avoid false positives.

Conduct multiple sessions at different times of day.

Keep a log of any odd occurrences or sensations during the experiment.

Mark known sounds (like footsteps or creaks) so you don’t confuse them later.

Ask follow-up questions if you get potential responses.

⚠️ Safety and Ethics

Never provoke or challenge entities.

Be respectful of the space and any spirits that may be present.

If things start to feel uncomfortable, end the session immediately.

Don’t perform the experiment alone in remote or dangerous locations.

📎 Final Thoughts

The Phone Experiment blends modern technology with old-school ghost hunting curiosity. Whether you believe in spirits or just want to explore strange phenomena, this method offers a compelling way to engage with the unknown. And who knows—maybe your phone will pick up more than just static.
