There are many inexplicable and even mysterious phenomena in the world - this is a poltergeist, and clairvoyance, and flying saucers, and communication with otherworldly beings, and ghosts, and much more. All these phenomena have accompanied human civilization throughout the history of its development. It would be quite logical to assume that there can be no more unknown phenomena. However, technical progress has made its own adjustments, and another phenomenon has appeared, for which scientists cannot find an explanation until now. These are the so-called electronic voices.
The electronic voice phenomenon arose along with the invention of radio. The study of this phenomenon has been going on for many decades. So, for example, back in the century before last, scientists thought about the possibility of communicating with spirits using electronics. The famous inventor Edison proposed his own apparatus. Despite the fact that this device could not be brought to perfection, the adherents of this idea claimed that they succeeded. One of these supporters was the Swedish producer Friedrich Jurgenson. In 1959, being near his country mansion, he went to record the birdsong. When he later listened to the recording, he discovered that in addition to bird trills, there were also voices on the recording that talked about birdsong. This greatly surprised Jurgenson, as he was convinced that no one was around during the recording. Therefore, he logically assumed that his tape recorder tuned in to the radio broadcast.
To test his hypothesis, the producer recorded several more times, but each time there were voices on the recording, but this time they turned directly to Jurgenson, claiming that they were his deceased relatives and friends.
This led Jürgenson to undertake other studies, resulting in the publication of his book Voices from the Universe in 1964. Quite naturally, this work attracted the attention of scientists across Europe, who sought to carefully check the producer's claims.
Thus, the director of the laboratory at the University of Freiburg, a psychologist from Germany, Hans Bender, and a former professor of psychology at the universities of Uppsala and Riga, Dr. Konstantin Raudive, decided to join forces to verify Jurgenson's claims.
They turned to the doctor of physics Alex Schneider and the electronic engineer Theodor Rudolph for help, thanks to which they achieved amazing results very quickly. Many inexplicable voices were recorded on the tape, uttering short phrases that were sometimes extremely difficult to make out.
Professor Bender noted in his report that after conducting research, we can talk about the possibility of the existence of the phenomenon of electronic voices.
However, even this did not convince all skeptics. Thus, a Cambridge graduate David Ellis in 1970-1972 managed to study the phenomenon of electronic voices. In the end, he concluded that the phenomenon could be explained by the presence of a rich imagination, stating that in many cases Russian radio stations could be recorded on magnetic tape. However, Ellis was never able to provide an intelligible explanation as to why Russian radio stations were broadcasting in a language other than Russian.

Some critics also feared that most of the recorded voices are so illegible that only human imagination turns them into sentences and words.
Raudive published the results of his research in a book, the rights to which British publisher Colin Smith intended to acquire. At the same time, he was not at all going to blindly subscribe to the publication, so he demanded new objective evidence.
As a result, it was planned to conduct control tests with funding from the Daily Mirror newspaper and the participation of independent experts.
The first of these experiments was conducted by Pie Limited's chief electronics engineers Keith Attwood and Ray Prickett. All possible precautions were taken, including removing all radio interference and cleaning the tape heads.
Everyone who was in the room during the experiment was amazed. In about half an hour of recording, more than two hundred voices appeared on the tape, three dozen of which were clearly audible. All these voices spoke in different languages, and the elusive phrases were pronounced practically in a whisper. Much surprise was also caused by the fact that the voices seemed to be addressing those in the room.
Thus, it became obvious that the voices simply had nowhere to come from, except in a supernatural way. The researchers, who started the experiment with a lot of skepticism, changed their minds along the way.
It was decided to conduct further research. They were led by researcher Peter Hale of Lee and Belling's laboratory, who had extensive experience in studying various kinds of electrical signals.
According to some researchers, the appearance of strange voices during recording can be influenced by radio interference. Later, Hale said that there are certain points in the recordings that are simply impossible to explain in ordinary physical terms.
In 1971, Dr. Raudive's book "Breakthrough" appeared in Britain, in which the author described all the studies and their results. Without a doubt, we can say that the records made, which were then verified by independent experts, are a real breakthrough in the field of parapsychology.
However, scientists had another important task - to convince everyone who did not believe in the existence of the phenomenon of electronic voices. But technology is constantly evolving. It should be noted that with the advent and widespread distribution of answering machines, such records began to appear on them. So, in particular, in early September 1991, American businessman Brian Lynn, having returned home, listened to an answering machine. And what he heard, he was shocked. In addition to calls from business partners and friends, there was one recording that gave goosebumps. It was impossible to make out the voice on the recording. The businessman turned to the researchers with the record.
The recording was listened to both in slow motion and in a fast one. As a result, it was possible to isolate individual words. Experts had doubts about the authenticity of the recording, but Lynn claimed that none of his acquaintances could joke with him like that. The film is still being studied, but experts cannot yet tell anything new.
In the study of this phenomenon, there is one more difficulty - in order to hear at least something, you need to strain your hearing. And in general, often it only seems to many that they have heard something, since everyone hears only what he wants to hear.
At the same time, experts say, there is evidence that electronic voices do exist. For example, the story that happened in 1949. A woman named Lucie Randles had a very interesting experience that goes beyond logic.
The woman was married to a British soldier, who at that time was already the director of the office. One evening, a terrible thunderstorm began, and Lucia was very sensitive to atmospheric changes. However, all her thoughts were occupied with the return of her husband. The woman was not particularly surprised when the phone rang in the house, she assumed that her husband was calling to warn her about his delay.
She answered, but her husband's voice was barely audible. And then Lucia realized with horror that there was no telephone in her house. But at the same time, she was a rather practical person, so she thought that she just fell asleep and she dreamed all this. But then they knocked on the door, on the threshold stood a policeman who informed her about the death of her husband (the most interesting thing is that he died exactly at the time when Lucia was "talking on the phone").
This story is a little different from others, but it proves that voices from the other world really exist. And if so, then it is quite possible to record them on a magnetic or electronic device.
It must be said that quite often on the resources devoted to the phenomenon of electronic voices, they post audio recordings allegedly with otherworldly voices that are easily heard through the noise. It can be assumed that with the current level of technology development, such recordings can be done a lot. But this is a simple deception. In addition, no one provides any evidence of the veracity of such records. But … are they really needed? A fairy tale must be a fairy tale …
