Evidence for the Spirit Poultry Factory

There is a ducking echoing chicken spirit outside. What do I do? What if it's dangerous?

First thing any expert or amateur ghost hunter/demonologist/psychic/et cetera must do in regards to anything potentially paranormal is to think of a way where evidence or experience can be rationally explained. Logically, one way of debunking this, or giving an explanation for it, is that they recorded near chickens. (As there is no further evidence or visual aspect to it.)

Were I able to download or otherwise acquire a copy of the audio, I'd filter out the background noise and listen to see if there was any obvious anomalous noise that cannot be easily attributed to normal auditory noise.

EDIT: And now that I think about it, chances are, that was your Soundcloud. If you can give me a copy of the original file, I'd gladly remove the noise so that everything else comes in clearer. (The noise being the static-like drone.)

In any case, chances are you're not going to experience any harmful events, as it's most likely a residual haunting, if there indeed is one. If any negative or harmful events transpire, I'd suggest burning sage, which cleanses and area of negative energy, and lining the outside with sea salt, which prevents negative energy from entering easily. (That is, if this is occurring in your own home.)

Sounds more like a little barking dog. I don't know man. The neighbor's terrier learned to use a blowhorn?

I was being only half serious with this post, Kris. I have isolated the noise and it just gives you a lower quality version of it and I don't want to tamper with the noise. It's certainly no chicken. It has an elongated echoing cry as if it's being tortured and it could very well be a turkey that's getting it. We have once done some burning sage since there is actual a spiritual presence in the room next to me and it didn't do anything at all, not like it's surprising.

Considering the sound, I guess one could come to the conclusion of a small dog like a chihuahua, but said dog would first need to undergo a demonic transformation.

Probably a kitsune. Actually, they are incredibly intelligent and beautiful animals.

Some sounds of the beast here.

Definitely not foxes. The way the sound repeats in such a way leads me more towards it being a turkey. All of those fox sounds were more smooth compared to it. Vixen scream is somewhat close I guess, but again, it flows more consistently, so it can't be.

Did you highlight the entire thing, or just a bit of noise to get a profile of the noise?

I asked my dog and she said, "rrrrrruuff rrrruufff". Then I asked if you should be wary and she said, "urf". So, take her advice.

Bit of static, then removed static. It's better to just keep it as is.

Dunno if this is a joke or watevs, but just so y'all know, any rituals, totems or whatever DO NOT work.

The only way to get rid of them is to search your house for the item its connected to and burn it. Or destroy it completely. The item could be anything connected to spiritism, the occult or even religious items like crosses (ironically these sorts of religious items are the most common item) it could even be a movie or music CD or anything similar.

I've heard a case of the item being Indiana Jones and the temple of doom. As an example.

But that's poltergeists isn't it?

And no, it's not completely serious. The sound is strange, but it was like 1 something AM, so I decided to just link it to ghosts even though it really probably is a turkey.

Woah, wait. Poultrygeist? See? HAHAHA.

That's only in the case of spiritual attachment, which means the entire house could be the object of attachment.
A simple cleansing with sage and salt is neither ritual nor totemic, sage removes negative energies and salt acts as a barrier.
Rituals generally are the domain of magic-based spiritual paths, or non-mainstream religions. You never want to use a ritual if you have no idea what you're doing, as it can backfire or fail entirely. If you do a bit of research, but don't try to understand, then you're dabbling, which can backfire even harder.
In the case of totems, they're not protective items, they're guiding aspects in a spiritual journey, primarily connected to Native American belief, but can be found in some neo-pagan belief systems.

However, you are right in burning things with negative energies, but only if it's something that's directly harming you (Though cleansing can remove it). Fire is the ultimate purifier, after all.

In any case, what Skurn just did is called 'Debunking'. This is attributing a possible explanation which calls into question the validity of esoteric and/or spiritual proof. He gave an example of what it might be, and therefore if he can directly correlate a turkey (or other poultry) with the sound, then it's not spiritual in nature.

If you want, the echoing effect the cry of the turkey produced could be a sign that it was tortured in life and is doomed to live it eternally in death.

But honestly, no amount of occult rituals or cleansing/barrier erecting is going to do a thing. Scientifically, if anything, I'd need to find out how to cut off electrical activity in a room entirely or soak it all up to destroy the spirit. The room next to me has had a tall, completely black figure appear before and I'm not the only one to have seen it. But I have seen orbs such as the time I walked into this room and immediately saw one drop into the floor.

But still, maybe there is a way to appease the turkey ghost.

Realistically speaking, assuming that a spirit/soul is an energy construct, ridding of electricity will do nothing, as everything radiates some form of energy, and assuming it's sentient, it will evade all attempts to capture it, as spirits can move through physical objects. (Being non-physical entities tends to do that.)
(As an added fun tidbit, the time around halloween/samhain is generally considered the most active time of the year that spirits are out and about, due to the border between the spirit world and the physical world being at its thinnest, according to eclectic writings.)

I imagine they would come out more because they know it's such a celebration and they find it to be a more appropriate time to duck around.

But really, the fact they have draining effects on any electronic, and the fact that everyone has a current of electricity running through them, I'd think it safe to assume they are composed mainly out of electricity and not some form of vague energy. Of course, I have no way of making a room 100% electricity free.

There's a sound near here that for a long time I couldn't figure out what it was.
It's like a horror film sound effect, a drawn out wailing or screaming of something being tortured off in the distance. Usually comes late at night and is really creepy.

We eventually found it to be the shutters closing of one of the shops at the end of the road.

Foxes also make some of the most blood-curdling sounds sometimes (thanks schnapper )
