Penang War Museum: What Do Spirits Comment About?

These series of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs) which were recorded from over 70 years of the World War 2 (WW2) Penang War Museum in Batu Maung, Penang back in May 20, 2007, from 11:30 – 1:30 pm show that some of the spirits still remain here. Interestingly, the said museum is not only visited by the living, but also by spirits of the dead, and the EVP recording was done when I was alone. In some cases, there are things that are displayed here that has become ‘a laughing stock’ to some of the spirits who visit here. These spirits may knows actual truths which the living assume to be true.

Furthermore, most of the EVPs were captured inside the ammunition room – which is still occupied, or may be guarded by a few spirits. However, the EVPs suggest that the spirits are aware that the place is nowadays visited by the public. Nevertheless, the EVP recording from the research findings further clarified that no intense emotions were recorded due to inhumanity, as many thoughts by the living centre on the belief that inhumanity to man has taken place here. The photos below are just some of the main attractions here. You may visit the said museum for a personal experience and further information stated as below.
