What would your explanation of EVP's be then?

Even the female ghosts are banned from entering most bars in Australia outside of Sydney and Perth. Outrageous.
How confident, exactly? Confident as in 'confident the Albion won't be relegated this sason' or 'confident I will win the lottery...eventually' or 'confident I will live forever'?

I don't think I've ever seen Perth used in the context of a progressive statement
Why would I feel the need to have an explanation for unexplained phenomena? At my age? I loved all that stuff when I was a teenager (the occult; Borley Rectory; Aliester Crowley; Erich von Däniken; Uri Geller). Later I grew up. The natural world is hard enough to explain without worrying about illusionism, pranksters, fraudsters and charlatans. Check out James Randi and his one million dollar challenge if you still feel drawn to the allure of the 'supernatural'.

EVP's have nothing to do with illusionism, pranksters, fraudsters and charlatans.
It's a simply recording evidence for analysis of unexplained phenomena. To attempt to explain such phenomena.

Me too. It would be most embarrassing to meet all those bloody Christians I've been arguing with for years all saying "I told you so".
I abosolutely LOVE paranormal shit, I spend hours at work listening to bizarre podcasts about all that stuff, it makes the world colourful and some of the characters they have as guests are either fascinating or straight amusement. Having said that, as someone who has spent plenty of time also doing music production I can safely say that EVPs are absolute guff on a level with orbs.
There are so many explanations it's hard to know where to begin really, but noise floors on handheld recorders, cross modulation, ground loops, crappy inbuilt noise cancelling software on said recorders, mic sensitivity levels..... I could knock you up an EVP in whatever sitation you want if I wanted to using any of my field mics. Technical stuff aside, our brains top it all off by making patterns out of nonsense and believing what we want to believe or expect to hear.
I've had an "experience" though, went to pluckly with some mates about 10 years back to camp in the woods. I saw something I've struggled to reason with myself with, I dunno what it was, but the juries still out for me on ghosts. The kid in me would love to see something concrete.

As soon as EvD is mentioned, I always lose any sense of belief in anything he's talking about.

Unfortunately much more confident than any of the above.
When you think how big the universe is surely it's unlikely we are the only planet with life?
As sceptics point out, billions of people now walk around with a camera in their pocket with millions of videos and pictures being taken every day and there is not one credible image. What it does tell us though in my opinion is the power of the human psyche in terms of what it can conjure up at times of anxiety, stress and grief.

Assume so. If we have a few poor results it won't be long before someone starts talking about the 'spectre of relegation'. I'd like to think relegation doesn't exist, or that there's no need to be scared of it.
