Steve emphasises the importance of maintaining objectivity and avoiding confirmation bias when analysing EVP recordings to draw one's conclusions about their validity.

Readers can then explore the potential origins of EVP, as well as related concepts such as Instrumental Transcommunication (ITC), Direct Voice Phenomenon (DVP), and scalar waves. The book discusses many theories including the suggestion that EVPs may result from the practitioner's subconscious thoughts being imprinted through psychokinesis rather than from spirits, and scalar waves may be involved in EVPs and other paranormal phenomena.

Steve discusses various methods and tools for paranormal investigators to capture EVPs. Digital audio recorders, smartphones, laptops with audio software, and EVP-specific devices like spirit boxes and EVP laser microphones are all options for capturing EVPs. The effectiveness of these methods and devices is debated within the paranormal community, with some believing they enable communication with spirits while others dismiss them as random noise.

A later chapter provides information on how to conduct EVP sessions to communicate with spirits. It explains the passive and active methods of EVP sessions and provides tips for optimising recordings to capture high-quality EVPs.

Steve explains how to analyse audio recordings for EVP research, including understanding key terms such as frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and pitch.

The final chapter of the book discusses the classification of EVPs into two types: Transformative and Opportunistic. Transformative EVPs are made up of random background noise manipulated to form words, while Opportunistic EVPs use existing human voices or pre-recorded audio to form new words or sentences. The chapter also discusses various classification scales used to grade EVPs, including the Raudive Scale, the AA-EVP System, and the KM System, with the latter being the most widely used and accepted classification system today.
