StreamSide is pleased to introduce the ER70 EVP Recorder app to the Apple iOS AppStore.
The ER70 was inspired by anomalous interactions Scott Philbrook and Forrest Burgess, from the Astonishing Legends podcast, had while using a vintage audio recorder at the Sallie House.
“It was clear to me that Scott’s view of the paranormal was changed by that experience, and he asked me my thoughts about it several times,” co-designer Roger Pingleton explains. “During the pandemic I had the chance to examine that device closely, to really do a deep-dive, and I discovered was something up with it.
“My next thought was, ‘Hey! I can model this in software, just like guitar amplifiers have been modeled.’ “
This is started a long research process.
As with our other successful projects, Jill Beitz played a crucial role as co-designer, shaping each design decision. In February of 2023, Beitz and Pingleton spent many hours refining and tweaking the feature-set of the app.
When the underlying technology was ready to be tested, Jill came up with the perfect haunted test location – the Ybor City Florida Ghost Tour.
“I was still skeptical myself,” Pingleton added. “I knew I’d mimicked the signal chain of the original device, but whether it could perform as well as I’d hoped was yet to be seen.”
Needless to say the app did not disappoint. For the full story of the Ybor ghost tour experience, please check out the the story on the ER70 site.
