Mate yes, and it's always older houses specifically isn't it, like post-1900 but pre-1960 seems to be the sweet spot in my experience. Done a few spirit box sessions in Victorian terraces round Liverpool and the male voices are way more common than female, which I find proper weird when you think about it. My theory is it's tied to whoever spent the most time in the building so in that era it would've been men working from home, tradesmen, that sort of thing. Anyone else noticed if the voices tend to sound local to the area? Because that would back up the residual energy angle for me. Would love to compare recordings if anyones got something decent from a pre-war property.
Anyone else getting male voices on EVP recordings in older houses specifically?
@GrizzledBadger yeah the interwar period housing is particularly active in my experience too. My working theory is it's about the demographic - men who lived and died in those properties during the wars or industrial era, strong sense of territorial attachment to the home. Victorian properties actually tend to give me more mixed results, more female voices and children oddly enough. The 1920s-1940s terraces though, almost always male, often clipped and quiet like they're not trying particularly hard to communicate. Worth noting what questions you're asking as well because in my experience male voices on EVP tend to respond to direct challenges more than open invitations.
