It’s official! We’ve reached our goal of 1,000 usable samples for the Gateway EVP Study. We received a total of 1,271 files to analyze for potential samples. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who assisted us with this study. I would like to take this time to recognize the following people for their generous contributions to IRG’s Gateway Project: • Jim Pace with Sooner Paranormal of Oklahoma; • Kenny Plank with Family Haunts; • Melissa Tanner with TnT Paranormal; • Chris Pollock; • Kristine McCracken; • Jason/ Ty Phillips; and • Светлана Мусатова, my Russian contributor. I would also like to specifically recognize: • Chad Stambaugh for his contributions to IRG’s Gateway Project; and • Melissa Tanner with TnT Paranormal for her assistance with identify a critical error in our process that could have cost us the entire project. The results of the Gateway EVP Study are as follows: Of the 1,271 samples, 79% were deemed usable based on our criteria while 21% were excluded due to IRG’s WIND Principle. Of that 79%: • .5% occurred in the TLF range; • 9.1% occurred in the ELF range; • 43% occurred in the SLF range; • 44.2% occurred in the ULF range; • 3.7% occurred in the VLF range; • 3.7% occurred below 15 Hz; • 96.5% occurred within the range of 15 Hz and 20 kHz; and • 45.9% occurred within 300 Hz and 4 kHz. The mean frequency was 596.04 Hz in the Ultra-Low Frequency (ULF) range. Update Conclusions: • Usable samples indicated the dominant range was almost half-and-half between the SLF and ULF ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum with the average frequency occurring in the ULF range. • We used the period and frequency equations for our calculations: a. T = 1/f b. f = 1/T. We did not use the wavelength formula because we were not concerned with the distance of the waves at this time. • The fact that no single usable sample has exceeded the low end of VLF remained constant. No sample exceeded 7,200 Hz. Update Recommendations: • IRG will continue to accept potential EVP files but will no longer be including them in this study. • We are continuing to collaborate with experts in sound engineering and physics to ensure the accuracy of our results. • During investigations, it would be advantageous for groups to calculate the most common frequency per location and adjust settings on equipment accordingly. For instance, default settings on digital recorders need to be adjusted to either the low- or high-pass filters, allowing only low or high frequencies at a given time for maximum results. • IRG can provide consulting services, free of charge, to groups or individuals who wish to conduct their investigations in this manner. If you wish to seek our assistance for this purpose or wish to send possible EVP samples, please send us an email on Facebook.
