The most important thing to remember though about audio recording is:
The type of microphone used. In this case none. So all sounds will be distorted.
And also in every recording you will pick up the 'room' sound. In other words, the reaction of frequencies on reflective or absorbative materials.
This is spacialisation. You will 'hear the room'
At what point of the audio can you hear the voice?
I can hear 'something' at 1:52(ish) and it sounds very 'breathy', and distant but please bear in mind an earphone is the most primitive of
recorders and all sounds will be innacurate.
I can hear what sounds like bumping and banging and something like cd cases being moved (top-mid end sounds) and yes it does sound like there's
another layer of audio that has been manipulated and 'played' over the top of the foley sounds. The low end stuff sounds hollow, like hands being
banged softly on a table.
Psychologically the sounds are disturbing but that's only because we are associating them with a bad experience.
2:45 it sounds distorted, as you say it sounds reversed or even time-stretched.
Leave it with me. I'll have a play around with the audio and post my results back later/tomorrow (if possible).
EDIT: To place this in cubase i would need to re-record the MP4 file into an audio format via audacity and then place it in cubase.
Considering it is 5:42 in the morning i don't think my neighbours will be too happy when i'm blasting out 'demonic' sounds.
I will get back on the case later.

Thank you for your concern and professionalism. I understand the need to check up the audio and feel free to do so, thats why i posted it.
There are no layers added anywhere. What the video shows is exactly what i wrote it does.
The first part is the un-edited raw sound. There was a fan running in the background so i filtered that out for the second part.
The microphone i used was a headset mic and im aware they arent the greatest. However, sometimes the easiest explanation is the right one. And maybe
the reason the audio is so psychologicaly frightening is because its real.
As for the "whole" recording.
Well im obviously not going to post a 9 hour video of silence and ambient noise with 3 minutes of the ordeal on youtube. The MP4 was jut downloaded
from my youtube account.
What happened was i recorded the whole night in audacity. This kind of thing actually happened twice that night. I saved both, the one i put up was
more pronounced and probably more frightening as well. I think i might still have the second recording on my pc.
Ive been using my mac lately so all this stuff is on my desktop PC. The reason i only have these snippets is because i saved them first. I then tried
to save the whole recording but audacity took a dump and crashed so i'm only left with this snippet and another one somewhere on my hard drive. If
its that important to you i can dig it up.
To be honest, this happens quite frequently. I can easily replicate this experience simply by setting up my microphone again. I just need to clean out
my hard drive so it might take a day or two.
Edit: ok for the cracks in the walls:
They sound exactly like they do in this video. Even worse, i can feel the energy around me when it happens. When i go to my garage and sit in my car,
i can almost instantly replicate the whole experience. I think im gonna bring a camera there just do show you what i'm taking about.
I understand the demand for evidence and luckily, i am able to conjure it up (or something like that). Bear with me here i dont live in a
multi-million dollar family i dont have access to HD cameras and studio-phile microphones. But thanks to this interest and the fact that everyone is
just as confused as i am, its definately going to be worth my investment.
