Believing

About the blog

   How many times have you heard the urban myth about someone hearing voices from the walls of their home?  How many time has that happened to someone in St. Louis but they kept it to themselves?

   I mean, who's going to believe something as crazy as that?

   Turns out it's no myth.  Not even close.

   Chicago isn't too far from St. Louis but distance has nothing to do with it.  This exact thing goes on around us all the time without notice.

   It's normally just so low in volume we don't consciously hear it which makes it nearly impossible to capture as a recording.  It's a great racket to be in.

• Business Insider, "A scared man asked the internet for help after he heard voices coming from his fan, but there's actually a logical explanation"

   Knowing this can result simply from a radio station being nearby and given how much fun could be had by anyone who understands the underlying principles...  what if your goal was to harass other's that were "those kind of people"?

   What would it take to master the technologies needed to do this?

   It actually doesn't take much at all.

   That might seem backwards but when you're using technology as old as AM radio while suggesting it's actually angels, demons, aliens, or messengers at work...  well, backwards it is.

   Would you like to know a few individuals who are harassing others in the St. Louis area this way?

   It may or may not surprise you they're doing this believing there's no way they can be caught.

   And what is so important that it needs to be done through "voices" instead of actual conversation?

   That seems to be left to the person being harassed.
