I don't believe in death. Nor do I believe in Casper the Ghost.

As much as I love horror and the concept of ghosts, I have read a very interesting theory based on infrasound, an ultra low sound frequency (between 7 and 19 Hz) that could induce paranoia, dread, fear, and panic.

That said, the only time I have ever experience something I could consider to be some kind of paranormal experience was when I was 12 or 13 visiting my dad for the summer. Our cat was acting weird, running up and down the hallway looking up at the ceiling. It was more of a playful trot than any kind of panicked retreat, but it was peculiar. Then one day I was playing a video game or something with the door open and out of the corner of my eye I swear I saw this small blob float by. It's so weird because I really don't remember much else from this trip to Vancouver, but I distinctly remember the shapelessness of the thing and the fact it had this weird color to it, like the markings of a calico cat. A day or so later a friend of mine had come over to spend the night and we were playing Magic: The Gathering. I look up and I see that exact same shape but this time it looked like it was coming towards us. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and it was gone, and in the 6 or so years we spent in that apartment I never experienced anything supernatural again.

I've heard of this as well. Being a sound terrorist, I tried testing it out on an audience during one of my performances by blasting it through my amp as I played drones (I have both a quarter inch and eighth inch jack that can be used simultaneously) using this Online Tone Generator - Free, Simple and Easy to Use.. I asked a several people what they thought after the show and 3 or 4 people did call it unsettling, so the theory might hold up.

There's one around where I live that even has underground tunnels that go from building to building. Last year, around Halloween, a friend's teenage kids broke into the tunnels to explore. Nothing happened, and they said it was really cool seeing some of the old gurneys and rooms, but I thought it would make a good backdrop for a horror flick.

Yup. Used to do it all the time in high school. It's part of the reason why I decided to do that job I am currently doing. I've posted a lot of pictures and videos before. Actually, I'll post the YT videos again since it was a while ago. These were abandoned houses and not necessarily haunted, but who knows. I also went to my old myspace page and found some old photos from our exploration days. I thought I had more but here's three of em. The YT vids will be on bottom.

Did you post that one before? Seems too awesome for me to forget about it.
