I'm going to provide semi serious answer to what is really silly topic.

For the OP story to be true, one would have to assume that this "Olympus digital recorder" device, sensitivity aside, is not only capable of recording wider range of frequencies than those audible to human ear (which on its own wouldn't be impossible, if a little out of spec of regular microphone one would expect in such device), but also upon playback it would have to be actively converting those frequencies to audible range and transposing sounds voiced at pitches outside hearing threshold by several octaves to something you would now recognise as human voice. That's not going to happen in this kind of portable device.

It is possible for a device to record something at say 20khz and the (audible) harmonics of that signal to be non linearly boosted during playback.
It would require an unstable amplifier/filter though.

There are sounds that we are more attuned to depending on context, like a twig snapping in a wood. The opposite might also be true.

OP, if you are serious about this kind of stuff happening to you, your first port of call should be medical centre offering good psychiatric care. Words recorded on devices but not remembered/heard in real life, becoming suddenly aware of out of character/third party actions while alone (eg. objects being thrown around) is characteristic for people who suffer from dissociative identity disorder and are either fully unaware of the episodes and "alters" or have micro-amnesias after episodes. It is not supernatural, you are chasing your own tail.

I am kr00t0n's total agreement.

The first rule of micro amnesia is? No really, what is it? I can't remember!
 
Let's wait and see, OP will surely deliver :D

No seriously. If you hear voices or see things that are not really "supposed" to be there, seek professional help..

It depends if it 'flew' off and did a double somersault or it fell off.
I was in our hospital notes room last week and a set of patients notes fell off the shelf and it just so happened it was an RIP patient :eek:

Did I think it was her ghost? Of course not, it was simply not put in place correctly.
If it had fell out with a somersault then the toilet is next door.
 
I've been doing this for years. I sometimes snore a little, occasionally pass wind. However the most shocking, was that Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain and Stevie Ray Vaughn were jamming in my front room - but whenever I've been up during the night I can't hear them. That's proper ****'ed up.

Anyway, since then, I've made a fair bit of money as I've been able to secure a record deal for a tribute act - but that's the thing, it is no tribute, it's ACTUALLY THEM!

Unfortunately, the rock 'n' roll ethereal spirits were so powerful, that they behaved a little TOO rock 'n' roll, and the house burned to the ground. Shame as I was racking it in. Ah well. Maybe now they have found peace. RIP.

Unfortunately it was recorded on a Sony - so I cannot share it with you.
