Infrasound and Hauntings on CNN.com

Nice mainstream article about infrasound and how it could be realated to hauntings. Real scientists involved!

I had read an article a while ago that detailed the way this theory was stumbled upon. It had something to do with someone's fencing foil, if I remember correctly. Someone had experienced these feelings and noticed a foil that was somehow mounted on a wall was vibrating. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Oddly I found the article on a ghost hunting site. Oh well.

So... infra-sound produces ghost-like sensation in humans...

but what if the ghosts themselves produce infra-sounds?

Never underestimate the power of reasonings of a believer...

You are so very correct. At least it is one less 'unexplainable' phenomena that could only be caused by an invisible dead person!
