Long recording of a Jacob's Ladder constructed by a friend of mine. Near the end of the recording, the arc crosses through a sheet of paper several times.

This was taken from the audio track of a video shoot. Recorded with the internal microphone of a Sony DCR-TRV8 Handycam.

Still frame from the video, showing a close-up of the paper:

Hi! I used your sound effect in my podcast. I don't remember exactly where I put it, but it should be in there somewhere. Hopefully you have a good listen while trying to find it! If you'd like to hear it, you can find it on itunes and google play:

I hope you enjoy it!

@Hy_Raptor Sorry, this is all I've got. You can try downloading my whole electricity pack and joining / looping some of the edited sounds. If you need more variation you can try pitch and/or volume shifting some of the individual zaps.
