It’s Behind You! Robot Creates Feeling of Ghostly Presence

It’s Behind You! Robot Creates Feeling of Ghostly Presence by Ed Yong There was someone behind her; she was sure of it. A malignant presence: always a man, and always to her right. But whenever she looked around, he was gone. It was 2006. The woman was in University Hospital, Geneva, awaiting surgery to remove parts of her brain that were causing epileptic seizures. The surgeons, led by neurologist Olaf Blanke , prepared for the operation by electrically stimulating her brain, to identify important regions that they needed to preserve. When they shocked one specific area—the left temporoparietal junction—she immediately felt a phantom menace behind her. She turned to look and when Blanke asked her why, she said that she felt a “shadow” behind her, silent and still. She did the same thing every time the team stimulated the same region. “It was so real,” says Blanke. “She wasn’t convinced by us telling her that it wasn’t real.” This sort of feeling isn’t

MORONS AND OXYMORONS - MAN DEVELOPS GHOST APP WHICH DETECTS PAREIDOLIA

Crowdfunding Sought for 'Ghost-Detecting' Computer Program "HIT". Is a fantastic Light and Motion Rendering Clusterfuck" A man who believes he has developed a scientific way to detect ghosts and other paranormal entities in everyday photos and videos has launched a crowdfunding program to raise money for further development. According to a press release by ghost hunter Joe DiMare, “Many people believe in ghosts, but not many people have evidence to support their belief. Now with Hidden Intelligence Tracking (HIT), anyone can shoot a 30-second video and submit it to have minor changes in light and motion amplified to reveal evidence of the paranormal. The creator of HIT has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise $49,999 by August 5 to expand computer capabilities so that more videos can be processed quicker. Taking a whole new approach to ghost chasing, HIT works like a microscope for video, revealing minute changes in motion and light. U

The Haunted - A Social History of Ghosts Owen Davis (author)

In my library The Introduction to this captivating and fascinating book proclaims "England has long had a reputation for being haunted". This reputation and our love affair with ghosts is primarily a result of cultural, social and religious change over the past 500 years and it is these aspects of ghosts that the author investigates. Davies begins with a chapter entitled `Manifestation' where personal characteristics, times of haunting, the dress and lifespan of ghosts is discussed. There follows the geography of haunting and analysis of how social changes have affected ghost sightings in certain locations. For example, ghosts are rarely reported in churchyards today because fewer people go to church and hence fewer people find themselves in churchyards. Allied to this is the fact that public cemeteries are now located away from areas of housing. This is a far cry from the 19th century when churchyards were a much more important space, not just on a religi
