Electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) - The capture of ‘spirit’ voices on magnetic tape, magnetic tape as an audio recording. Many times, no sound is heard while the tape is recording. It’s only upon playback that the harsh, hushed voices can be heard.

Orb - A photographed (not seen at time of photo in some cases) anomaly that, in theory, represents an ongoing 'spirit' of a deceased person. It appears as a ball of light and may occasionally seem to be moving.
