This happened to me about ten years ago - actually, a little more than that maybe. I was in the Deep South visiting a friend. She lived in the middle of nowhere, and I mean that in the literal sense. Her town had about 1,200 residents and was nestled in the forest. If you wanted to get to a town that had more than 2,000 people in it, you had to drive for about an hour across a narrow road that turned and twisted up the side of the mountain. It was pretty nerve wracking to even get there, especially because the road conspicuously lacked guard rails of any kind. From what I understood, it was the only way in and out.
Anyway, she lived in a small house on top of a hill near the outskirts of the town. She believed the house to be haunted, so we did some EVP recordings one night. Some of the EVPs were interesting, some weren't, but anyone who has done EVP recordings know that it can be very subjective. You often get background sounds that maybe, kind of, sound like a person speaking. I might put this more in the "it's fun and interesting to do, but not conclusive" category. But something unmistakable did happen eventually that I really can't explain.
It's important to remember that this house was pretty isolated. There were no pedestrians outside. The nearest house would have been a walk. With that in mind, you can imagine that we were both very surprised when we turned off the recorder and heard a very LOUD garbled voice coming from the upper right corner of the room. (There was no second floor.) It sounded like something was speaking to us in a loud voice (not shouting, just loud) but it was hard to tell what it was saying. It could be best described as "babble." Just start babbling some vague word-sounds out of your mouth and that's what it sounded like. It probably lasted for about three to five seconds or so. It wasn't recorded because we had stopped recording at that point.
We both definitely heard it because we started freaking out the moment that it started. Anyway, when we eventually went to bed, for some inexplicable reason her laptop started to play back the EVPs we recorded earlier that night. This was odd because we hadn't listened to them for hours at that point, but I guess it's less weird than the voice.
