Ghosts in the machine

Just reading this article about recording “ghosts” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21922834

I wonder if it could be old radio signals or just imagination-believing what you want to hear.
Fiction stranger than fact 😮

I did have a vivid dream once that I’d fought and died in the US Civil War. Amazing what a quarter of stilton, a dozen crackers and a bottle of red can do….:)

…and just consider what you would have dreamt if you’d preceded that with a plate of smoked salmon followed by a rare tournedos and just before the cheese a lemon syllabub!!:diablo:

Its faint radio transmissions. One chap in my village used to hear voices, and it turned out something in his house (I think it was heating pipes/radiator) was picking up radio waves.

Turn our Shackleton’s intercom on, with all the radio’s off, and plug in single headset. There are voices… and on a Saturday around midday its a football match every time. Its not a ghost though, its just some part of the wiring is the perfect antennae length.

Funny too how everybody with a former life used to be something glamorous like a Samurai warrior or a tragic Persian princess and never, say, a Victorian lavatory attendant.

It says you can “just about make out voices.” Funny how with all these kinds of things -ghosts, regression, UFO’s etc- there’s always just enough “evidence” to intrigue you, but never enough to actually prove it.

People will believe anything if they want to believe it badly enough. Flying saucers, ghosts, an afterlife, witchcraft, religion, all a load of carp but some people need to believe something to give their life a purpose, and I don’t have a problem with that at all but I get a bit peeved when the media give it some kind of credibility.

If I may quote Mr Barnum ‘There’s one born every minute.’

Seconded!

I must admit to having a whisky decanter that keeps emptying itself. I don’t remember why…

Fascinating stuff, but this kind of thing freaks me out a bit. I’ve had my electric razor turning itself on and off all day today 😉
