Each Thanksgiving holiday, I like to put out a digital recorder to see if I can capture EVPs, as I have found the best time to do recordings for EVPs is during family gatherings. Very often there will be a number of entities in my home, watching as I cook, making comments here and there. This time was not an exception, and when I finish listening to all seven recordings, I’ll post some of the better ones on our EVP page.
This Thanksgiving, though, besides the EVPs, we actually had something else happen that even amazed my Mom, as she was fortunate enough to be a witness to this strange occurrence.
We had just finished dinner, cleared off the table, and done the dishes, and Mary and Mom and I were seated on the couch in the living room talking. In the middle of our conversation we all heard a voice come from the kitchen. Mom looked over at me and said, “What was that?”, and I started to laugh. The voice came from our little Yoda figurine that was sitting on the kitchen counter just behind the sink:
Yoda
This Star Wars figurine has several recorded phrases stored in it, and you can play them, one by one, by pressing the yellow button on top of its pedestal, or by waving your hand in front of the sensor. Well, Yoda was about 15 feet from Mary, who was the closest to it, and it was facing towards the kitchen, with its back to all of us, making us completely out of range of its sensor. The phrase it said was, “May the Force be with you.”
“What you just heard, Mom, was our Yoda figurine going off, all by itself”, I explained.
“Your what?”, Mom asked, a little shaken by the experience.
“Mary why don’t you grab it and show Mom what we mean.” with my suggestion, Mary got up and walked over to the counter and picked up the figurine.
“You can make it say different phrases from the Star Wars movies by pressing the yellow button on top of its base”, I explained further to my Mom. “And that to me is quite amazing, because it would take a tremendous amount of energy to make it go off like that. Well, Mom, you just witnessed one of the many strange things that happen in our house.”
Mary turned it around in her hands, examining it, and then tried to make the toy go off again. She found that it no longer worked by pressing down on the yellow button. You had to move the “On” switch back and forth to get it to say anything now. Apparently, the energy used to make the toy talk also damaged it.
About one hour later, we had something else happen. On our t.v. stand is a 1950′s black panther sculpture, and leaning against it is are three rocks that Mary and I painted. One is yellow and says, “Love”, the other is heart shaped, and painted red with the word, “Alicia” in pink. The other stone is baby blue and has the Hebrew and English spelling of “Joy” painted on it. All three have been leaning against the panther since I put them there yesterday. However, while we were talking, the red stone with “Alicia” painted on it suddenly flipped over on its back (as it is in the picture below). Needless to say, my Mom was starting to get spooked.
Rocks
“If I was here all by myself and these things were happening, I’d just die!” exclaimed my Mom. Mary and I chuckled to ourselves; for us, this is a natural, frequent occurrence.
