JJ! What kind of experiences have you had with EVPs? What sort of words or phrases did you hear? Where did you take your recordings? I have many questions, but this could get the ball rolling. Or bouncing.

Oh goody goody gumdrops! One of my favorite subjects - thank you Alisa!

...and as Yoda wuold say.."much I have to say on this!"

OK, here's the scoop...EVP'S can be absolutely wonderous, but heed my warning -YOU MUST BE CAREFUL! I've learned that sometimes in trying to contact life on the other side, we unintentionally leave a door open for just about any thing to come through. If we are not careful in stating exactly what or who we wish to connect with, sometimes our "door" more resembles a "clown car" - you intend to hold the door for one, & a stream of "clowns" come runnin on through!

So to avoid this, I always do a meditation before an EVP session. First, I ask Source to protect me while on my journey. Then I meditate. After meditation I like to sit silently to listen for feedback. I've always believed that prayer (whatever you want to call it...talking to Source) is how you ask Source, & meditation(being silent & listening) is how you recieve the answers from Source.

After that I light a candle(it is said that spirit is attracted to fire, but does not notice, or respond to artificial light from their various dementions). I then state the entity or entities that I wish to contact,& ask that only positive energies follow behind, if there has to be any uninvited guests crashing our session. Once that little technicality is out of the way, I sit in a quiet room w/just a lit candle and my handy dandy recorder. TIP: Digital voice recorders are GREAT!- Don't own one yet,but aspire to one day.)

Once you press record, state out loud who you want to hear from. Say that you are there & ready to recieve messages, & as corny as it sounds - state that you come in peace. Get into a comfortable position, & GO!

You can ask specific questions, or you could leave the forum open, & just wait to hear what comes through. I like to ask specifics if I'm dealing w/ an entity that I already know. I have had many sessions in my house where I've reached my mom since she's passed. HELPFUL TIP: When asking questions, always remember to pause in silence for the answer to be 'picked up' clearly. I have learned in the past, that it is quite easy for 'us' to monopolize the conversation, when we can't audibly hear the answers out loud. What you end up getting, is a full recording of you blabbing through the whole tape hearing overlapping responses, that sound too mixed in to correctly define. So ask - then be quiet for a moment or two.

I would also recommend lighting some sage, or a smudge stick to keep the positive energy comming in, & the negative energy going out.

Another way of performing an EVP session is to just leave a running recorder in an empty(of people)room. Still ask for protection, don't lite the candle, still state who or what you want to communicate with, don't lite the sage, or just smudge the room first. But don't leave the candle or sage burning after you leave the room. And go to bed. When you wake up & listen to your tape, you won't have to worry about your voice 'over ridding' spirit voice, bacause your voice won't be on anything but the beginning of the tape.

I use both methods.I have found success with both! It is truley amazing what can be caught.I have heard many different voices on my recordings. I have also heard music - when there was none playing. I have heard cries(before I learned to ask for protection from the neg.entities),laughter, singing,breathing,clapping,coughing & my mother's voice saying "It's me Jame"-as that's always what she has called me.

I've asked for a sequence of audible knocks to be duplicated after I myself knocked first. My knocks were duplicated - knock for knock!

I've caught my mom saying "Too slow" on one of my recordings. I had asked her on the tape why her voice sounded so low & was so hard to understand in previous recordings. Imediately her voice popped in saying "too slow". It took me a few minutes of listening to that phrase, until it hit me that there were buttons on the back of my recorder that allow you to listen to your tape in normal speed, high speed, or low speed! My recorder was set on normal, which allows the recording to be heard on the frequency we opperate on normally, wich kind of drags etheral voices out to almost a slo-mo roll. Once I switched the button to high speed, I could better understand her words in all my EVP'S. Thanx ma, good lookin out!

BTW, the recorder I have used for every EVP session is the radio shack palm recorder that used to be her's! After she died I traveled to VA to collect some things from her apartment, in her office I found the recorder sitting on her desk. I don't know exactly what she used it for, but there it was in plain view - so I took it right away, knowing exactly what I intended to do w/it. I think her "too slow" message was because she was already familiar w/that specific recorder, & knew what I was doing wrong!

...just like a mother eh? "No,no, no - you're doing it wrong!"

I wish I had a way to share these recordings w/all on this site who are interested, but I wouldn't even know where to begin. I think I lack the equipment, & I know I lack the knowledge. I Know that although I own a brand new Dell Inspiron, it does not have a memory card slot for photos, so I assume I need something similar to load voice recordings. I've been told That all I need is some peice of hardware that plugs into my computer, but I don't know what it's called, or if I need something in addition for audio.

For now ,I guess I'll just have to verbally share - but I will check around & see what I can do to get the ball rolling on getting my collection on this site. If any one has any suggestions or knowledge on that, please feel free.

Here I will point out some helpful reminders for EVP sessions:

1. Always clear your mind of all negativity before an EVP session so not to attract any negative entities. I suggest a prayer or meditation just before each session.

2. Always ask Source for guidence & protection during your EVP session, so uninvited guests do not show up.

3. Sage or smudge sticks are helpful in keeping the neg energy at bay, while allowing the positive to come through(but best if never left burning unattended).

4. Lighting a candle or many, can act as a fog horn or lighthouse for a spirit. They love fire it is said, & move towards it like a moth to flame.

5. State your purpose out loud, - 'who' or 'what' you would like to hear from. And be diligent in laying a boundry that only the entity you're addressing responds, or that only positive entities respond.

6. Remember that if you're going to ask questions, pause in silence long enough to let the answer be picked up clearly.

7. KNOW your recording device, as there are tools on some to help you better hear & understand your recordings.

8. Make sure that you have a very quiet setting during your recording session. This isn't mandatory, but helpful in not picking up foriegn sounds that might confuse you, i.e. barking - cars - trains - out door voices, things like that make it very hard to distinguish voice on the tape. For this reason I peform all my sessions at night when the whole house is shut down. With kids in bed, no tv's on, no wash running, and the heat or CA turned off. This way all you hear is the white noise on the playback, and the white noise of your recording is where you will find the voices.

9. I've found that in some cases it is best to put the 'free walking' pets in a sepperate room. Sometimes in just their moving about the house, they cause interference in the recording. But on that same note, sometimes you can tell just by the reaction of your dog or cat, if something in spirit is in the room trying to communicate. So it's really just a personal preferrence. Guess it really depends on how wired your pet is.

10. And last but not least, Please ALWAYS BE RESPECTFUL, to these entities. I don't care what GHOST HUNTERS do on tv, it is wrong to disrespect, confront w/negativity, or provoke other entities for a reaction. ON ANY LEVEL! They are souls...just like us. They are us, and we are they. Realize that whatever harm they caused while alive here on earth, most have since moved on. Even some of the most evil people on earth have souls (yes Alisa, even Dubya - although I've claimed he doesn't). And most of these souls have taught or learned the lessons that they came here for. They have returned home and are again whole. And they are sometimes not at all what we remember them as, in their negative skin - here on earth.

Other souls that haven't yet let go of the negativity that they caused on earth - those are the ones to steer clear of! DO NOT PROVOKE THEM, as those souls haven't made it home yet, & are a bit peeved at this & in general. I think one day they'll return home to be healed & whole again, but until they make that choice, I believe they remain in the 'in between' as the mean "ghosts" that people report all the time scratching at them, or chucking objects at people & such. At any rate, treat them like you would real people, invite the ones you know & trust, & nevermind even bothering w/ the strangers & negatives that seem unsafe. But always be polite, respectful, & careful no matter who or what comes through.

Oops, An ammendment to the above - When a door is opened, it must be closed! After each session please verbaly close your door. Say out loud that the session has ended, give your thanks, & make it clear that the door is now closed, & until asked, no one is to come through. I find that they do indeed comply.

If diong an EVP session where you are absent when the tape stops, like leaving it in a room while your sleeping; State verbally at the beginning of the session ,'when' the door is to be closed & access denied. For example, " Upon the 'click' at the end of this tape, the door is closed to all in spirit, until I contact you again." They also seem to comply with that method. Then you can sleep sound, knowing that at curfew - they will be gone!

If you'd like to leave that door open, skip that last part, & instead ask Source to protect 'you & all' who live in that house during the time the door remains open, as this invitation can include just about anybody, or anything to come on through. I would only suggest that you try this method if you are strongley in touch w/your higher self & source. It can get crazy, but is fascinating to observe, as the activity then becomes more obvious, at any givin time & will start to be heard in 'real time' as a "disembodied" voice, rather than just on recording devices as EVP's.

The equipment you choose to use is solely up to you as an individual. You can use anything that records & plays back. But I would reccomend using something that allows you to adjust the speed in which you listen to the play back, like I described above.

I hope that this has inspired some reunions from the other side! I wish all success on your journey - be safe - be curtious - & be well. Bless all

You are an excellent writer. Utterly. I loved reading this. It was informative and fascinating. Thank you.

Oh goody goody gumdrops! I adore this saying!

...and as Yoda would say.."much I have to say on this!" Me loves Yoda!

I've always believed that prayer (whatever you want to call it...talking to Source) is how you ask Source, & meditation(being silent & listening) is how you recieve the answers from Source. What utterly way cool way to explain this!

As for sharing the recordings, it would be a treat to hear them, and if there were an easy way and you wanted to, that would be so cool and a blessing. For me personally, I am satisfied and delighted to also just know what the spirits have said and what you learned. I mean, I suppose the magic is in the hearing of the tapes, but I find this just written out is also very magical and comforting.

I loved how your Mom said "Too slow" and how that opened the door to turning up the speed! I also have a palm recorder. I love it and use it several times a week to record my dreams when I first wake up. It makes for much transcribing, but I get more details and whilst they are fresh on my mind as well. And the flow of my language if I type it as I speak is good...because it reads more naturally.

Also, I find I am being "heard" when I speak into the recorder. I feel listened to by the device. And I also later can listen to my self speak and relate back to myself and empathize with me/her. It is a funky cool tool- a recorder. I tried once to capture EVPs with it but did none of the neat preps you explain. I didn't hear anything at that time and didn't try again. Perhaps I will now you've shared your expertise and hints.

Anyway, what a great list of instructions you have given. I like the instruction to respect the spirits and to close the doors. Makes such sense.

If there are any other specific stories (and words spoken) that you can share, I'd be all ears!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Bless!

Why thank you my friend ,

Leave it to you to leave such a complimentary comment! I don't think I have ever recieved such positive feed back on any other site as this! I exaggerate not by the least! This is my home...and people like you Alisa, make me feel compelled to share. THANK YOU for being so inquizitive, willing to ask, willing to learn ,willing to teach, and willing to share. You get those juices pumping in me , so I can't take credit for any of it.

You, in a way help create what flows from me, as for the last few weeks YOU have inspired much in MY reality.

It's a pleasure to share with you anytime lady!

And I too am content to just share verbally. Which would be why after bugging you about those picture problems earlier this week , I STILL haven't attempted to try what you suggested yet. I'm sometimes so compelled to read or share what I do know, that I forget or put off learning what I don't...come to think of it, that's a bit irrogant, isn't it? Sorry I will make use of the info you passed onto me, PROMISE!

I like that you keep a dream journal. Actually I like everything you do to promote the growth of your soul & higher evolution of your consciousness! From your kefir water, to your pictures, your stories, your views, openmindedness, all of it is your willingness to seek knowledge of "self",and that I love! The dream journal is just another small piece. But shows that you too crave knowledge on all things 'universal',...and that is not just the student in you, It's also the teacher - as teachers never stop learning.

You are here for very special reason Alisa,You have much to offer the world(s) and have. Feel confident in knowing that you have left your mark here, & you have made a difference & enlightened many. Take it from someone you've touched, you're here for a very special job!....And I believe it has just begun!

Thank you for starting this topic,& ask anything you desire in those recordings,as the answers do come. I know you know your being heard, - and they know you know too. Or as Flux would say(as you've said b/4), I know you know I know...and they do. HAVE FUN & HAPPY HAUNTINGS !

Thank you so much for the validation and kind words. If I need cheering up, I'll be bookmarking this post...Bless U.

Ooo, and I have some questions...

What is the longest phrase or most amount of words you've captured in one burst? Is it usually just a word or two at a time? And are there long pauses between?

What kind of music was it you heard? Anything recognizable? Can you describe it?

Hey Alisa,

The longest phrase was "I saw him turn around...see?" Also another voice overlapped at the end of "...see?" In that area, it came in as "ahhh...I ...(cough)" It's considered a class B EVP, as it's distinguished as a 'voice' & not just sound. And towards the end where the second voice comes in, The first voice is still saying something - but gets harder to understand, which is what makes it a class B vs a class A. Class A EVP's are not just very recognizable as voice, but also very clear.

In one burst? Ahh the ones I can remember off the top of my head are...

1. "too slow"
2. "It's me Jame"
3. "I don't"(Mom, after I asked if she resented me for not taking her off of life support for 2 whole days)
4. "Jaime"(really drug out like - Jaaaaaaaaaimeeee & in a whisper, but loud if that makes sense)
5."(something inaudible)...downstairs...I know"
6. "(Gasp)...(bark,bark)...my that startled me!"

These are some that I remember off hand. The lenghts of the pauses vary from message to message, as well as the amount of words. It really just depends on how 'chatty' your 'friend' is.

The music was a flute...I think, clairinette - something in that catagory. Sounded like the 'Pied Pipper' music almost fairytail-ish. I think I might have tapped into something from the hollow earth w/that one.

Thank you for your questions Alisa. I hope this was helpful, sounds like someone's off on an adventure! Have fun & be safe!!

Wow, that was fantastic to read!

Aside from the messages from your mom, do the messages relate to you, like the one that said "(something inaudible)...downstairs...I know"? Was the recording of this done upstairs in your house?

What do you think it is tapping into when it is not your mom? Are they random spirits or related to you? Do they mean to be captured on tape do you think?

Great questions!

OK, I can't be sure if these 2 messages particularly relate to me. Numbers 4,& 5 were taken in a room absent of people at the time, during one of the 'empty room' sessions. I found them the next morning & the two voices on #5 seem to be comming from two diff entities. It sounded to me like they were having a conversation.I don't know if they knew they were being recorded, the way they're talking I guess you could assume either - or. But the recording was taken in an upstairs bedroom, so I think the entities were very aware of what kind of structure they were in. Also on that same tape I caught a very loud foghorn.

Number four also in an empty room session was weird because there was actually a cumputer-ish sound (no computer hooked up at the time), but more high pitched - that came just before "jaaaaaaimeeee" & it seemed to have a sing songy wave to it, like how we would sound if heard from under water.So it kinda sounded like the computer thing was asking a question, & someone answered "Jaime", or like the computer was the same entity as the one who said Jaime, but was caught in the midst of becomming an audible voice. That was not my moms voice, & I didn't recognize it.

Number 6 I was present for. I took it in the basement of my old house in OH. What I found interesting was that I heard the dog barks in real time, but the "gasp...that startled me" was only heard on playback. So it went some thing like this: "(something here that evidently startled it, but wasn't picked up on tape)...gasp...(dog barks twice while I heard it in real time)...my that starlted me!" I don't know if this entity knew it was being recorded either. But I would have to lean towards yes. No other voice responded to it on the tape, & I was the only one in the room. But I guess I can't really be sure.


I didn't recognize any of the voices in those 3 examples.And they were all from different entities it seems.

I'm not sure what I'm tapping into when it's not ma. But her voice is easy for me to recognize I think because I've heard it presented in so many ways from the womb. After hearing that voice for nine months form inside her, & then hearing it all my life, it is one of the easiest voices for me to recognize right away on tape no matter how fast or slow - low or high. I can simply tell from the tone that it's her.Oh & I've caught her both at my old house in OH, & here in my new house in MI.

Not sure if some intend to be captured on tape. To me some sound very aware of the situation. But I also believe that the other side's demension is simply superimposed over our demension, & so sometimes we pick up entities just going about their bussiness on the other side. Maybe they don't know the recorder is running, & maybe they do but don't stop to comminicate. So they're picked up saying random stuff that doesn't really pertain to the session. Kind of like 'us' knowing that there are security cameras in every store, but not going up to the lense & cheesin for a photo op. We just go about our bussiness(shopping), like the cameras aren't even there.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if the phrases relate directly to you ,& sometimes it is unmistakable.

Ooo, more good stuff! I love reading it!

I have to admit it was chilling to read for some reason. Especially the computer sounding voice. And somehow this seems familiar to me, but I can't exactly say why. I suppose it might be because I have heard computer-like sounds clairaudiently.

The voices in conjunction with the dog barking is fascinating. Because it seems as though this shows that they heard the dog barking in this dimension. Even the gasp before could be related to the dog bark because they are not in the same sequence of time. Oh, question...did the dog bark startle you at all?

"Kind of like 'us' knowing that there are security cameras in every store, but not going up to the lense & cheesin for a photo op. We just go about our bussiness(shopping), like the cameras aren't even there." What a great analogy! I feel this way about spirit photos. Some know they are being photographed and look toward camera, others either don't know or don't care. Interesting.

Any more instance you can think of, I'm interested to hear.

I too have heard the computer sound clairaudiently. One of those times I had asked to make contact w/ my guide, & could hear in real time that same high pitched computer-ish vibrational sound in response. And once it responded directly to me w/ "Let it go", when I was crying about an arguement my husband & I had gotten into.

The dog actually sounded louder on the tape! Although I heard it in real time,it was more muffled - like it was a couple of houses away outside(I remember thinking "Why does Mike <nieghbor> have his dog out so late on a work night?). But during play back, It sounded like it was up stairs in my living room. Very loud! I found this the most fascinating aspect of the tape because I could verify & time stamp the bark.

I've pondered the sequence too. It almost seems as if the entity heard it happen about 30 seconds before I heard it, by the way (she) reacted to it.

I have a friend that did an experiment to prove that spirit can be directed to notice a focal point. He set up a strobe light in one corner of the room , & a camera in the diagonally oppisite corner. His theory was that although some entities seem oblivious to our devices when caught on video tape, they could very well become aware & focus their attention on it if prompted. So he turned on the strobe light & turned on the camera. What he caught in snapshots,was spirit manifesting & moving towards the strobe, focusing their attention, seeming unaware of the camera. Then he would turn the strobe off, & they would start to interact w/ the camera on a more direct level & move from one corner to the other, as if asking "Hey what happened to that light?".

Brilliant I thought!

Hey JJ pardon the cliché but… I LOVE YOUR WORK..!!
It syncs and resonates so much with the stuff I’ve stumbled upon in my spiritual journeys.
I’ve never actually done the recoding thing but I like you know when they are around and wanting to communicate.

Pleeeeese never forget and always be aware that when doing this stuff its like you entering the ocean where there are sharks and one can never be 100% that one may decide to bite you. The further you go out the deeper it gets. The sharks have the advantage out there because it’s you that decided to enter their domain. It’s a lot different and easier when it’s their decision to enter ours. Either way make absolutely sure you not only close the door but lock it or seal the entrance every time you pop in and out…

Your extremely gifted and thank you so much for the time you spared to share all this with us..!!

Our journey continues….

Thank you so much Flux,

Your so sweet ! Thanx for your kind words, I love your work too (maybe we should start our own Guild eh?). I was just telling Alisa how this site has some of the nicest poeple on it...YOU included!

Say that!! I haven't yet figured out how to lock the door, that's why I use the smudge stick. Oops forgot to tell people to smudge after sessions.I'll go back & add it. Thanx, had it not been for you, I wouldn't have even noticed that I forgot to add it.

Yes, very true that this kind of thing should be handled w/much caution. The guidelines that I shared above for a safe EVP session is something that I hope everyone reads carefully, instead of being impulsive & just diong it. It is for our own safety, and I expect - hope rather, that others will not throw it to the wayside .

And yes, I also agree that the more you do it, the easier it is to tap into. That is what I call a perk for some, & a curse for others - depending on their heebie geebies tolerance, & their paranormal experience.

Are you going to try a session? If you do please let me know how you liked it! I'm glad to be hearing more from ya lately, must be back from the trip! LOL

Some thing that I forgot to add to my original post is the definition of EVP and the definitions of the classes.They Follow as stated.

EVP - Electronic Voice Phenomena

Class C - The class C EVP is the most common type captured. It is very faint, almost whispery even. Class C EVPs almost always require headphones for listening and are very difficult if not impossible to interpret. Most class C's are noises as opposed to words and sentences.

Class B - Class B's are a little different. Class B EVPs are more audible. They may require headphones, but most do not. You will be able to hear at least a few words out of a sentence in a class B EVP.

Class A - The class A EVP is by far the rarest to collect. Class A's are very clear and do not require headphones at all to be heard. Full senetences and phrases can be heard without alteration by way of any editor or other software. Class A EVPs are very difficult to come by but not impossible.

I suggest using studio type headphones, or at least headphones that cover your whole ear rather than HP inserts that fit into your ear. Just a personal preferrence. Choose what feels best for you.

Also something that I forgot to add is, that smudging the room after each session is a good idea too. This is a preventitive measure to prevent any lingering energy from taking up residence in your house. I like to perfprm a light smudging before the session, a more thorough smudging after the session. And don't forget the corners of the room, as our little friends think that we are oblivious to them & seem to hide out there.

Thank you Flux, for helping me to remember some things that I forgot to add to the original post.

Have you had any of what you would class as Class A?

Hi Alisa,

Yes, #1. "Too slow" & #6."Gasp...(bark,bark)...my that startled me" were both class A recordings.

To test this theory, I had my neighbor listen to them w/out teling him prior what he was listening to.I told him he could onlly hear it once. He didn't even know it was an EVP recording.I started the tapes at ONLY the exact point of the 'replies' on each tape.

After listening to #1, he replied w/'too slow' but why are you so hoarse? LoL...I didn't answer,except to say "I'll tell ya in a minute,listen to this one".

After listening to #6, He quoted word for word exactly what was on the tape. Then I told him what he had just listened to! Which further explained that it was not me or my 'hoarse voice' that he heard...His reaction - he never played cards at my house again! Oh we still talked - during yard work, came to eachother's cook outs, pool parties, we even organized the neighborhood block party together.....FROM HIS HOUSE! He vowed to never step foot in our "haunted house" ever again...and he kept his promise!

Even on moving day just 6 months ago, he wouldn't step foot in, he would only grab the boxes we handed him as he stood OUTSIDE.

So after that, I decided that I would never show an EVP to a neighbor again, since that little bout of stupidity cost me the best euker partner I had ever had!

Scince he had no problem hearing & relating what he heard back to me, I consider them both class A.

Even in #6, the gasp can be heard clearly as a gasp. Oh by the way, this is the neighbor that the dog belonged to. And yes he reconized it as his dog, I think that's partly what un-nerved him. Imagine hearing (without first knowing that it's an evp) your dog barking and then what you think is your neighbor on a recording, only to be told "Actually that's your dog & a ghost!"!

I really enjoyed that whole explanation. That was a great idea for validating the clarity of the voices and sounds. But maybe not worth it to lose a good euker(?) partner, eh.

What do you think of the idea of trying for EVPs at a cemetery. Do you believe that cemeteries are any more haunted than anywhere else?

I've actually done the cemetery thing twice now but didn't take a cam or recorder the first time, just talked my brother into going w/me to see if we could see anything w/just our eyes - spur of the moment type thing. The second time was just this past april 17, my husbands 33 birthday.With my mom at home w/Spencer, first I took him to dinner at our fav italian resturaunt, where I commenced to get him trashed on saki! Although I didn't have any because I was driving. Hey it was his birthday, we're not big drinkers, so on my man's special day I figured why not?

Anyway, after he had the warm & tinglies we headed to the cemetery, nice night too. We took my moms video cam (she was visiting from VA & brought it along), and walked the entire cemetery at least 3 times over. We saw w/ the naked eye, glowing orbs, and floating balls of light, which I know sound like the same thing but weren't. We also saw this ambient light - blue in hue. The more we followed it, the further away it got. We heard the rustling of footsteps behind us a few times, that couldn't be attributed to critters as the cemetery was completely open - no woods, and when we looked behind us - nothin there! We had a great time, & I actually felt very at ease there, which I found pleasent & odd at the same time.

This is the crappy part, mom taped over the tape a couple of days later! At the time we were looking for our new house & didn't have time to watch it right away. You know how it is driving, looking, packing, driving, looking, packing etc. So we didn't get to watch it as soon as we anticipated. Then feild day came at Spencer's school, & mom unwittingly taped over it. My fault, I shouldn't have left the tape in the recorder.

Saddly, I remember being so peeved at her ... little did I know, it would be the very last time she was in one of our home movies.

Ooo, using spoiler tags! Clevah. Excellent explanation of you-ker! You are very good at writing instructions.

Wow, fascinating about the cemetery and the orbs and balls of light. I get what you mean by they were two different looking things. And blue is a hue that people frequently seem to see with spirits. A friend of mine who is not into spirit called to tell me of her experience in seeing an apparition at her bedside one night...she said it was a female that glowed blue.

It's quite amazing to me that you saw this all unaided. It would have been great to have the film. But probably meant to turn out the way it did. Anyway, with such success, maybe you'll feel the urge to try it again some time. Then again maybe not. Either way, you know what you know and what you saw.
