T.

The Ontology of the Double World
Kristof Vandermeer Spring 1912 The nature and meaning of the double world is not subject to finite communication of any form. If a thousand souls venture into the double world, they will produce a thousand conflicting reports on what they discover there. And if each of the thousand visits a thousand times more, we will…

On the Use of Rocks in Cross-Dimensional Travel

Haunted Sounds and Haunted Houses
Emma Guile I remember distinctly the night two Fridays before Halloween my junior year of high school when I went with a group of about eight friends from the drama club to what we thought was a new, local haunted house. In fact, the attraction was a disturbing advertisement for a distinctly conservative Christian view…
Taoist Silence
from the Tao Teh Ching by Lao Tzu translated by John C. H. Wu selected by Louis D. Veoka “Listen to it but you cannot hear it! Its name is soundless.” (Chapter 14) “Only simple and quiet words will ripen of themselves. For a whirlwind does not last a whole morning.” (Chapter 23) “Music and…
Demon Music
Emma Guile “In the 1960s and 1970s, a fringe segment of the conservative American Christian population believed—despite a general Protestant dismissal of all things supernatural—that record players could channel demons into the minds and bodies of teenagers. The argument, espoused mostly by evangelical believers, held that rock music conveyed literal demons through the sound waves…

Mysteries and Speculations Pertaining to the New Hope █████ █████
T. Carl Rasmusen Alexander MacFarland’s narrative of his investigation of Teresa and Missy Carlysle in September and October 1985 leave some questions unanswered that MacFarland himself, in an interview with the author, was not unwilling but unforunately also not able to address. I’ve created an itemized list of these issues as far as I have…
Whispers and Lies: Is the historical basis for the █████ phenomenon a hoax?
Robert C. Thompson, PhD Chesapeake College 22 July 2020 Over the last year, a spate of blog posts have gained traction among some paranormal adherents that deserve a deeper examination than they have, as yet, received. These bloggers positively assert a historical basis for the existence of sound shadows or whispering demons based on two…
Radio Frequency and the So-Called █████ █████
T. Carl Rasmusen To date, little has been said of the case of sisters Teresa and Missy Carlysle of New Hope, Pennsylvania. In August 1985 the sisters were the center of a series of unexplained phenomena that I believe shed considerable light on the physics of “echo fractures” and may illuminate some salient points regarding…

Devised Sound as a Window onto Psychical Phenomena
R. C. Thompson, PhD Chesapeake College 18 May 2020 To date, the use of sound in psychical experimentation has focused on particular frequencies or beats selected by the researcher in advance of the exercise because of the researcher’s belief that these sounds induce an altered state of consciousness. The most well-known example is the binaural…
The █████ or ████ ███████, being an explanation of the phenomena at a whispering séance
by Z. A. Duffy June 1877 The pamphlet you now find yourself in possession of has been assembled out of the author’s sense of great personal responsibility to reveal to the public the existence of what can only be termed a dimension of being heretofore unrecognized by science. This dimension was made known to me…
