Quite Possibly the Most Unsettling EVP You've Ever Heard*

On a ghost hunting expedition in the historic Union Stock Yard Building** in Ogden, Utah, members of the Ghost Investigators Society (GIS) recorded an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena), which can be called nothing short of unsettling.

The EVP was recorded by GIS members Bredan Cook and Barbara McBeath in a room of the building that was reportedly empty.

The EVP recording is described on the GIS website.

'I can't breathe!'
This is, without a doubt, the oddest EVP recording we have ever heard. Everything you will hear, from the kid, to the water like most EVP was not heard at the time of the recording and there was no water or kids in the building. The building hasn't had running water for almost 20 years.

(Rough Translation)
(EVP Kid) Help me, can't breathe, I couldn't breathe?
(EVP Deep mans voice) Murder
(EVP kid) I can't breathe
(EVP very low mans voice) I couldn't breathe
(EVP Kids voice continues, not sure what is being said)
(EVP woman's voice) I couldn't breathe
(just after this you will hear water thrashing around for about 15-20 seconds followed by a big thud And then silence again.

This was recorded in an empty room, so nothing should have recorded. The voices have been broken down and looped at the end of the track.

WARNING: To call this EVP unsettling may be a gross understatement to some readers. Listen at your own risk. Don't email me that I didn't warn you.

*Apparently there is an EVP out there that has been dubbed, The Most Horrific EVP Ever Recorded. The brave and strong-stomached can read about and listen to the EVP here.

**The Union Stock Exchange Building is currently the site for the haunted attraction, the Lazarus Maze. To enhance the attraction's spooky appeal, the owners created a fictional history of the building as the former site of the Bellshire Mental Health Hospital, complete with its own deranged mad researcher, Doctor Vikor Natick. This concocted history has made its way into the haunted lore of Ogden, Utah and as a result, the Union Stock Exchange (or Live Stock Exchange or Exchange) Building is often erroneously cited as the former "Institute of Horrors," The Bellshire Mental Health Hospital.
