Do you believe it is true?
Electronic voice phenomenon is the alleged communication by spirits through tape recorders and other electronic devices.
I do not believe heres why
Perception is a very complex process, and when our brains try to find patterns, they are guided in part by what we expect to hear. If you are trying to hear your friend while conversing in a noisy room, your brain automatically takes snippets of sound and compares them against possible corresponding words, and guided by context, we can often "hear" more clearly than the sound patterns reaching our ears could account for. Indeed, it is relatively easy to demonstrate in a psychology laboratory that people can readily come to hear "clearly" even very muffled voices, so long as they have a printed version in front of them that tells them what words are being spoken. The brain puts together the visual cue and the auditory input, and we actually "hear" what we are informed is being said, even though without that information, we could discern nothing. Going one step further, and we can demonstrate that people can clearly "hear" voices and words not just in the context of muddled voices, but in a pattern of white noise, a pattern in which there are no voices or words at all.

I never did see that movie, and I can't say I have ever tried this.
Has any one here ever given it a go? Does it ever work?

I agree. In my opinion this is very similar to the so called backwards satanic messages in songs.

I've picked up cell phone calls on my guitar amp before.
But no, it wasn't ghosts.

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Yeah, i agree with that, but Ozzy DOES have something wrong with him. And Alice Cooper is just plain nuts. Albeit both rock(No pun intended), they still are a tad out there.

I read up on EVP before the movie came out. I tried it at Chappell Hill North Carolina. I can honestly say it could be possible. I KNOW i was alone, but yet, i walked away with results.

Actually, i feel that if Ozzy really wanted everyone to kill themselves, he could just announce it on TV. Hell, i wouldnt do it, but i would contemplate it.

Same here. I was playing a show somewhere around the city once and i started pickin' up shit on my amp while my friend (the singer) was talkin into the mic between songs. I got real confused and went up to the guy with the P.A. and got into this argument about them having reverb on the speakers cuz the voices coming through on my amp sounded like echoes of her talking.
But no, no ghosts. I've seen those fuckin' ghost shows on tv though, and that shit ALWAYS scares me to death without fail. Even on like ABC's Discovery Kid's ghost specials or somethin' where it's directed towards 10 year olds. That stuff always got to me in that frighteningly intriguing way.
