Well, I tested out my newly boughtvoice recorder last night. I got 3 seperate possibilities as voices, but only one is an absolute definite! It was in my room at this house built in 1906. It was a male voice and it whispered the word 'here'. It's pretty easy to tell it isn't my own breathing or speaking. I had ALL electronics off and everyone else was asleep. It was about 3am when I had gone in to test out my room. There are two guesses that I have on this particular spirit. It is either too weak to do anything or speak anything outside of voice recording, or it is friendly and respectful. I was extremely excited after I heard it, and I listened to it on 3 seperate sets of speakers so I could be sure I was hearing it right. I also had my roomates listen to it and they verify it very clearly being someone else other than myself. There was one other possibility of a voice recording in the house, however there was a fan running. I tested it out on 3 seperate speakers as well. In one set it seems to come across as a female voice. In all other instances, it came across more male-like. My roomate that got to hear that particular one though says that that particular spot, on the more baselike speakers, still does not sound like it's me. I'll be uploading both to somewhere eventually when I get a cable to plug between the laptop and the voice recorder. and then you can judge for yourselves. I really was not planning to start my trip before I started my trip O.o

Speaking of the trip though, I currently have only 2 devices for use that I bought yesterday. One is the voice recorder, and one is a digital video recorder with a hard drive in it rather than requiring any kind of minidisc or memory cards ; p I can get abotu 20 hours of video onto the 30 gb drive cam. Hopefulyl these two items will be enough. If I knew where to get a thermal visual type item, I'd try that too. But, it's not my funds limited as far as ghost hunt purchases go, it's knowledge of where I can pick these items up.
