Happy Halloween/Samhain/All Souls!

1. WOW!

Thanks for doing that, LD! Hee--for a bunch of people who don't believe in ghosts, the Loungers certainly talk about them an awful lot!
:rofl:

It's a beautiful day here in western NY--previous days this week have been freezing with blowing snow; subsequent days are predicted to be rainy and cold. But today alone, it's warm and sunny and breezy--a perfect Halloween. Yippee!

Happy Samhain, Happy Halloween, Happy New Year everyone! :hi: :grouphug:

2. I don't share my stories

for to me they are a part of the Sacred, and aren't scary anyway. But Blessed Samhain to all.

4. Any one else watch the show last night about the

haunted Tubes in London? In it they covered this guy who was doing experiments with Infrasound or low-frequency sound waves. The theory is - it is thought that these low frequency sound waves produce feelings of uneasiness, cause auditory and visual hallucinations and even cause people to feel chilled.

I grew up in a very haunted house and was always amazed that science didn't explore this phenomenon more closely. I am not sure that this is the complete answer but was encouraged to see someone actually positing a solution that is plausible. It doesn't account for simultaneous sightings or sightings of the same phenomena at different times by different people. But still - fascinating. Wouldn't be surprised if the answer isn't the other way around - this phenomena is causing the low frequency sound waves. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

That would explain why dogs and cats 'see' stuff we sometimes can't.

Thanks for the thread. Was looking for the ghost thread Friday evening - missed it then.
