honoring the heroes of

skeptical inquiry

Estep, Sarah: Attracted to EVP researcher Konstantīns Raudive in his study of electronic voice phenomena, American Sarah Wilson Estep (1928-2008) not only joined ranks with him in Europe, she extended his research and brought it to the U.S., where in 1982 she launched, both, the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomenon and her book, Voices of Eternity. Estep is largely responsible for our current system of EVP phenomena into Class C, Class B, and Class A anomalies: Classification A EVP: "A clear and distinct voice or sound that is universally accepted and undisputed, because it must be understood by anyone with normal hearing and without being told or prompted to what is being said or heard. It can be heard without the use of headphones." Classification B EVP: "A voice or sound that is distinct and fairly loud. This class of voice is more common and can be heard by most people after being told what to listen for. It is usually audible to experienced persons who have learned the skill of listening to EVP. It can sometimes be heard without the use of headphones." Classification C EVP: "A faint and whispery voice or sound that can barely be heard and is sometimes indecipherable and unintelligible. It may have paranormal characteristics, such as a mechanical sound. Most investigators would apply objectivity and disregard it, but may save it for reference purposes."
