From the Press:
The tenants of a Christchurch home where three members of a family died have called in paranormal investigators.
The family of six moved into the house in January, and say coffee tables have moved, wardrobe doors slam by themselves, the shower turns on and off, they hear footsteps on the stairs, and the children have seen "apparitions".Other compelling evidence of paranormal activity includes a rank smell of sulphur, constantly blowing light bulbs, and a disturbed dog.
Despite trying to "keep the children out of it", [the father] said his five- year-old daughter had been seen talking to herself in the mirror and later came downstairs and said she had been speaking to a "little girl".This is terrifying stuff. Imagine living in a house in an active seismic zone and discovering that your furniture experiences some movement, your wiring does weird things, there's a bad smell coming from somewhere (possibly not unlike the smell of sewage or waste-water from a broken pipe under a house, I would hazard a guess), and doors are slamming on their own.
And then your little girl looks into a mirror and begins talking to a little girl.
It's just lucky that Christchurch has a team of dedicated paranormal investigators on call and ready to investigate just why a house in an active seismic zone should be behaving so irregularly.
After a "full investigation" in March, principal investigator Anton Heyrick said he found "compelling evidence of paranormal activity".It looks as if that one million dollar reward is about to be claimed at last!
When the family went away for a weekend, the team set up video and sound recorders in every room, and brought in thermal and infra-red cameras and other equipment. "We are 95 per cent sure there is paranormal activity here - that means we can't explain the things that are happening or what we are hearing."Translate: we're not sure what made those strange sounds, so... GHOSTS!
Now that's my kind of science.
We had several interesting things happen to us while we were living in Christchurch in 2003.
ReplyDeleteWe were renting a 1920's bungalow in St Albans and in the bedroom that my eldest daughter slept in had an on again off again smell of urine - and no it wasn't my daughter peeing in teh bedroom, the smell would become apparent and then minutes later gone - completely.
One night at about 9.30pm the kids were all in bed asleep we were up watching TV, when the most furious banging sounds erupted - this lasted for about 2O seconds, the kids woke up completely terrified and I must confess the wife and I were pretty shaken up.- It sounded like someone banging on the internal walls - all of them at once. The noise never happened again. A couple of years after we returned to Auckland I asked my eldest daughter if she remembered the house in Cranford St, she replied "You mean the one with the stinky old women in my bedroom " I aked why she never mentioned this to me, she said she thought we wouldn't believe her, she had put up with this presence for nearly 6 months until we moved out. Even now 9 years later she still remembers this.
Astonishing that a paranormal investigator found evidence of paranormal activity. I wonder how many times a paranormal investigator has found no evidence of such activity. Somewhere between zero and one, perhaps, and towards the lower end of the range?
ReplyDeleteSure, Scott. The earthquakes are causing the phenomena you describe.
ReplyDeleteBut, Mister Scientist ... what is causing the earthquakes? Hmmm?
Really, Mister Professor, all those learnings and you still don't know about the Great Reptilian Conspiracy.
DeleteContrails.
DeleteDuh!
The Great Reptilian Conspiracy? There are ghost LIZARDS now?
DeleteMy God, it's even more terrifying than I imagined ... .
That explains who has been eating the ghost chips.
DeleteI the words of Bill O'Rielly “I’ll tell you why [religion is] not a scam, in my opinion. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that. You can’t explain why the tide goes in".
