Enwave Theatre - Toronto Ontario
Since 2006 ParaResearchers of Ontario, and The Toronto Ghosts & Hauntings Research Society have utilized this historic building in the heart of Harbourfront Centre
for training seminars for new investigators, and to conduct a series of experiments in Electronic Voice Phenomenon also known as EVP. The theatre has been featured in several media reports, and at least two television programs
on ghosts, and hauntings.
For past investigations, and the history, and ghost stories associated with this location when the theatre was using a different name please read the article entitled The DuMaurier Theatre.
Our paper on EVP
experimentation along with examples will be posted to this new page shortly. Experiments were conducted both with, and without spirit medium Lynn Tucker in attendance. Both interactive, and abandon, and retreive methods were
used. One EVP that was captured is in French, which is intriguing for us as this is the first time this organization has obtained a distinct EVP in a language other than English.

November 2007: Report and observations of the new Enwave theatre.
John Mizzi Senior Investigator
First I would like to say that I really appreciated the
opportunity to experience the Theatre once again. This time around yielded some good result. Even though the number of EVP”s was small the quality was good I believe the acoustics of the Theatre really helped in the recording
and has only proved to me more that a Parabolic dish is what is required for evp recordings as I captured sound that only the dish could distinguish.
I would also like to say it appears paranormal communication is not
just relegated to voices alone most of what you will hear is rapping’s on the steel rails. When I asked Chris if he had any similar sounds on his recording device he mentioned that it might be the heating system however there
is one instance that dissuades that theory When Lynne is saying that there was a “spirit” who liked to tap. The noise occurs but the last two taps are on my Parabolic dish which is made of stainless steel I know that sound
anywhere I heard it so many times as I was making the microphone. Lynne was nowhere near the device and neither was I in fact she was sitting on the stage at that time.
Check out” hfront my parabolic again”
Couple this with Lynne’s accurate descriptions of the rapping’s and indicating that it liked to bang on the steel rails. It seems pretty convincing to me especially in the evp “hfrontparabolic” We
actually hear the rapping’s then Lynne says she feels like someone wants to make some noise. I believe she heard it psychicly first.
Now we will get the curious mystery of a conversation Sue and I had I was on the upper
Mezzanine and Sue was on the stage the first thing I want you to hear is the sound of what happens when a door opens. “hfront2” It sounds like a evp but it is not it is the gas shock of the door closer as a door is
opened. Why do I want you hear this? I was standing by an entrance door on the second catwalk. Before you hear the evp you will hear the gas shock sound except the door never opened and no one walked in could this have been
something entering the room?
The other mystery is the first evp in the recording takes place at the end of one of Sue’s (Director Sue Darroch) sentences she had been talking for a long time (Sorry Sue) I believe the evp
said “I hate naterers” then the second one on the same recording said something but I cant quite make it out could it be French?
Even though these evps are clear in their recording the
words themselves are inconclusive. You will find that some of my recordings seem double I just wanted to show that the evps were recorded on two different recording devices. In the version where Lynne says he likes to tap you can hear the steel rail and then my dish being tapped but my in another version my mike only you will only be able to make out the dish being tapped About the growl (another member detected a possible growl) I did record it but it did not become clear enough on either recorder to prove inconclusively that that is what it was however strange that both Chris and I heard it and I recorded similar sounds at another investigation site.
