I'm going to share a couple of the things I said had us scratching our heads. All three of these were captured at the same location but on separate visits about 6 years ago. The site is an abandoned Catholic school/church with several buildings, underground tunnels, cemetery with all Catholic priests, a crypt, and surrounding woods. Again we're able to debunk about 90% of the places we investigate and we've only gotten a handful of really interesting things over several years. We look for normal explanations, tag sounds, cross check recorders, and do control silences. In this first clip, a group of us was in the old dorms building asking EVP questions when the owner dropped in to check up on us. Everyone was together and the other two groups were in separate buildings. We asked if the owner wanted to try asking some questions, so he asked "What should I do with this place?" One of us repeats the question, and then you hear this response which nobody heard at the time:

This next one was recorded about a month later on a follow up visit. A group of us was in the church and tried singing church hymns to see if that would get a response. When they ran out of memorized hymns, they tried some Christmas carols though this was still early October. About an hour later they had moved on to another building and now another group was sitting about 10 feet away in a hallway that runs into the church. The two groups had had no communication with each other between that time. The two investigators were just sitting in the hall with their voice recorders running asking questions when one of their cell phones began playing We Wish You A Merry Christmas:

The investigator said he searched his phone inside and out and that song is not anywhere on there. It isn't very advanced and there's no way someone could have sent it to him without him knowing. Could it have been a glitch? Possibly, but what's really odd is that it was October and the timing of it.
This last one was recorded a week or two later. One of our investigators was at the property by himself helping the owner clean up. In the recording you can hear him sweeping. He and the owner (male) were the only ones on the property at the time, and the location is about the size of a small college campus. There were no females present, yet in this clip a female voice seems to say his name (Kurt):

Is any of this paranormal? I don't know, I'm not making any claims. I just wanted to share a couple of the interesting things we've had.
