Comment RSSGhosts Are Not Always What They Seem
November 20, 2011 # 7:41 pm # Ghosts, Offbeat # No CommentMalcolm Robinson continues a subject he began last week, explaining how there are several effects other than actual spectral presence that have been interpreted as evidence of ghosts. Most interesting is an experiment in a Welsh pub that appears to prove what’s known as “The Stone Tape Theory.”
In 1982 an electrical engineer and industrial chemist teamed up to hook a recording device to the stones from which the building was made, recording music and voices seemingly embedded in the rocks years before. Other evidence of spirits speaking, or communicating by other means such as the use of a Ouija board or similar device, would serve to indicate The Stone Tape Theory doesn’t always explain ghostly happenings, and Michael Prescott visits a case from 1943 in which a spirit responded to a medium’s efforts in a demeaning manner, as seen in An Angry Communicator.
