I agree, I'm a little puzzled about that too! Some people just can't see them with their eyes, I'm not saying you're one of them, it could just be one of those, right time, right place sort of place too, LOL!! I have to admit, yes, it is a bit unnerving to get an evp in your own home, but once ya get used to the idea it's not so bad. After all, I knew I had spirits here anyway, so why be upset when I actually catch them.
Maybe it's something you just have to get comfortable with, but catching evidence with film or evp is the way this field will progress. If we all work together to bring good evidence forward, we're all doing something to help. I hope you'll reconsider, I'd be soo interested in seeing or hearing anything you could pick up in the house!! Good luck, and remember, either way, ya know we still support ya!!

Exactly, some people are unable to hear, sense, or see any kind of spirit activity with their own senses. Does not mean that anything is wrong with them, it is just that not everyone is sensative or open, for one reason or another.
Getting an EVP in your own home may be unnerving for sure. But remember this, there are spirits all around us all the time. If we were able to sense/hear/see them all, we would not be able to handle the overload. For me, knowing that makes anything that comes my way acceptable instead of unnerving.
I hope you reconsider the taping too. Evidence on tape is better proof than telling a personal account, especially if you know that there is something in your house

Hi Cottonzway -
you mentioned that you are doing some construction/renovation on the house. I have heard many stories of activity that seems to start and/or escalate when there are changes being made to the dwelling.
Does the doorbell contain the hammer that can physically still ring the bell if you were to try to operate it "manually"? If yes, have you thought about putting something in-between the clapper of the hammer and the "bell" portion to see if the "ringing" stops or if the sound is produced regardless.
I have a girlfriend whose mother died about 5 years ago. She and her husband (her fiance at the time) decided that they were going to purchase and renovate her mom's house from the family siblings. The business who came in and did the renovation was a local company who had worked with her mother before.
Apparently, the level of activity in the house was quite high - to the extent that everyone on the job pretty much walked off after about a month, leaving the owner of the company to finish the work on his own. They were experiencing tools being moved, noises, smells (cigarette smoke as if from a freshly lit cigarette - her mother was a chain-smoker) - all kinds of stuff. When the construction was finished, the activity stopped.
I personally have never "seen" anything first-hand. I've seen stuff on video, but never right in front of me - or if I have, I haven't been able to distinguish living from dead as far as the paranormal is concerned. If we're talking straight up dead bodies, I've seen tons and I didn't find them freaky at all, because they no longer contain what I would call a soul.
My first job was working HazMat at Boston Medical Center. If they dropped formaldehyde in the autopsy suite in the middle of the autopsy, I got the call. One of the highest paying, but least known hospital jobs is that of the "diener". It's not like CSI, where the medical examiner does all the work in the autopsy. Typically, the diener does all the cutting and prepping, (all the terrible hard get really dirty icky work) and the pathologist can then step in and make the observations, measurements, weights and chose what to take for tox. samples).
My boss used to puke at the sight of anything involving bodily fluids or whatever, so I got sent on all the "tough" calls - they were usually the most interesting anyhow.
