If you died and a living close relative requested an EVP from you, would you reply?

Question

Example, your son or daughter wanted to deliver an apology, but you were testy and grumpy while alive and that's why your child was afraid to when you were alive. If he or she conducted an EVP session, would you give a response into the recorder? If yes, what do you think you would say?

Answer 1

If I was dead I would be unable to respond and therefore the best the relatives could do would be to record some white noise and imagine it was me delivering the message of their choice.

Answer 2

Assuming spirits exist and assuming you turn into a spirit when you die and assuming spirits can communicate with the living and assuming that spirit communications can be picked up on recordings, well, then.... I'd say something like "Hey, sorry I was grumpy. By the way, I've got a way you can make $1 million dollars! Have you heard of a guy named Randi?"

Answer 3

If I am able to communicate to my loved ones after death, it is my intent to do so.  By able I mean, if they are willing to listen, I know that I will do my part.  But more importantly, I hope that we will have the chance to always keep a line of communication going, so that should I pass, they will know I loved them and I died knowing that they loved me.

Answer 4

Would I have to RSVP ASAP?

Answer 5

I was ghost hunting before my father died in 2006.  He told us not to look for him or try to talk to him.  I have honored that request.  So he came looking for us.  I have two pictures of him after he died.  One is with a grandchild of his that he never liked in life.  The other  came at a time when we would have needed him desperately and he let us know he was there.  It is my belief that if I tried to talk to him, he would respond.  I am just not ready for that yet. For now it is enough for me to feel his presence.  It is true that the only thing you take with you when you die is the love you have given and received by your family.  If it is not my dad in those pictures, he sure does bring a lot of love with him, who ever he is.

Answer 6

Yes I would.

Answer 7

I believe there's a different concept of emotions after we are gone,

The same personality would come through because if it didn't they would say it wasn't us that left the evp,

I would come through in many ways, EVP is dangerous, because it becomes addicting, and just like real life, there's alot of aggressive demanding people/personalities that show up.

I'd let them know that they were not to use anything to contact me other than their own selves

Answer 8

I'm always with you!

Answer 9

Absolutely not!!! It is a form of divination and is a grievous sin. After the prophet Samuel died, he had no one to counsel him spiritually. So who does Saul seek counsel from? Who does he seek to tell him what he must do? He sought counsel from a familiar spirit

    1 Sam 28:7 Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.

God strongly condemned in scripture what Saul was going to do:

    Lev 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

    Deu 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,

    Deu 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

    Deu 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

    Deu 18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

    Deu 18:14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

So, knowing that God condemned it, Saul still went to consult with a witch, a spirit medium and a necromancer (one who claims to consult with the dead).

    1 Sam 28:8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.

    1 Sam 28:9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

    1 Sam 28:10 And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

    1 Sam 28:11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.

Now, consider an important point. Was the witch to summon the spirit of Samuel down from heaven? No. Saul knew the state of the dead, that Samuel was dead in the grave. He was actually asking the witch to call Samuel up from the grave, not down from heaven.

Note also that God was no longer speaking to Saul, and God's prophets were not speaking with Saul (1 Sam 28:6). So now, are we to believe that a witch was going to thwart the will of God by conjuring up Samuel from the grave, so that Saul could speak with a prophet of God, against the explicit will of God? No witch could do such a thing.

Remember also, the witch at Endor was known for having a familiar spirit. What is a familiar spirit anyway? It is not an angel of God, surely, because of God's strong condemnation against consulting with them. A familiar spirit is a demonic spirit, a fallen angel in league with Satan. This is what the woman at Endor had, communication with a demon, a demon who was quite capable of impersonating Samuel. It was NOT Samuel who appeared at her summons, it was a demon masquerading as Samuel. The first thing that the demon did was expose Saul's masquerade to the witch:

    1 Sam 28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.

Now exposed to the witch, Saul continues to consult her:

    1 Sam 28:13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

    1 Sam 28:14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.

Note that Saul did not actually see anything himself, he had to ask the witch who is was that she saw. So based on what the witch said, Saul presumed it was Samuel who he was communicating with, that Samuel had been summoned from the grave to speak with him, since the witch said she could see Samuel coming up from out of the earth (not down from heaven). King Saul was putting his trust completely in a spirit medium, a witch, a necromancer, against the expressed will of God. So the following conversation was not between Saul and Samuel, but between Saul and a witch with a familiar (demonic) spirit:

    1 Sam 28:15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.

Again, note that Samuel is represented as coming up from the grave, not down from heaven. Saul also affirms that he knows that God refuses to communicate with him any more by any means, yet he expected to get guidance from a dead prophet of God via a familiar (demonic) spirit. The counsel Saul gets predicts the defeat of Israel and his imminent death, along with his sons:

    1 Sam 28:16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

    1 Sam 28:17 And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:

    1 Sam 28:18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.

    1 Sam 28:19 Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

    1 Sam 28:20 Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

King Saul was looking for help from the witch of Endor, to contact someone in the grave, a dead Samuel, so that he could know from God how he could gain a victory over the Philistines. But God was not talking to Saul any more. By knowing what the Bible teaches about the state of the dead, and the circumstances regarding Saul's relationship with God at the time, we can be quite certain that it was not actually Samuel raised from the dead speaking to him, but a fallen angel, a demonic spirit. That Saul even attempted this séance with a spirit medium (witch) was an abomination, a further rebellion against God, and Saul paid for his rebellion with his life.

    1 Chr 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;

    1 Chr 10:14 And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

So the passage above clearly states, Saul communicated with a demonic spirit, not Samuel.

Answer 10

if I could ..not all spirits can respond at your request.Its not the same over there as they have no bodies and things happen differently..so you have to pay attention to EVERY little sign and coincidence

Answer 11

It would probably be something mundane rather than earth shattering. I would try to make it a response to what was said or what I knew he had been thinking. I haven't had experience of EVP I seem to have my own internal recorder. They seem to stand off to my left or to a person's left shoulder if I'm facing that person.

Answer 12

I would tell them I'm sorry I was a lousy parent and that I loved them. Although if I recall an EVP is usually only 1 or 2 words  so I would have to talk to them at least twice. Once to say I'm sorry then next to say I still love them

Answer 13

If I had the ability to yes I would. I am sure that once you are gone you have a different mental state, and you would probably see your "grumpiness" as trival. All EVP's I ever heard have been one or two quick words. So I would probably say something so my son or daughter would know it was me. I would probably say "I forgive you" or "it's okay".

Answer 14

You sometimes don't even have the choice.When someone goes to a phsycic on this stuff some other spirit might come instead because you need the knowledge from them.A certain spirit is there to deliver some kind of message of knowledge at one point in our life.Some can't give the knowledge to that person because they don't beleive in paranormal stuff so they just ignore it.If I actually do get through to your daughter or son that would be great.Once I get that message I wil rest in peace (r.i.p.)

Answer 15

If I was able to, I personally would, though I'd probably continue to be testy and grumpy just for verification. ;-)
