Before we move on, I'm just going to mention, I can hear my listeners going, oh,
he's going to go on, he's going to go on, he's going to start waffling about stuff.
They did the whole, you know, they put electricity into a wall and left it overnight and they recorded sounds that seemed to come from nowhere.
Some of the people saying it might have been Churchill giving a speech on the radio or something.
of the original recordings and i did an episode on it and i put it out there because i thought you know everybody you know people should people should hear this uh so um that fascinates me i think that and yeah i mean you know stone tape theory i mean once again it's a theory it's not a fact it's not something that you can say this definitely uh this this definitely works but this definitely happens but In some way, it's once again, you go back to the environment and does the environment in some way capture something where at certain times where like you, when you was a wee nipper and apparently, you know, young children are more susceptible and more open to to the paranormal and seeing uh you know weird stuff than us adults because as we get older we get more closed-minded we get more kind of like the everyday things in life close us down and you most probably noticed as well that the more you sort of dip your toe into this stuff have you noticed that the more you become a little bit more aware of things going on around you
I mean, similar to you, I would call the stone tape theory a theory for a reason.
I sort of struggle with it quite a lot because it kind of, it makes sense to explain a lot of the phenomenon that people experience, especially when they describe the kind of haunting that sounds more like a recording that doesn't seem to be able to interact with them in sort of current time.
But then, of course, whenever you get when you get down to the sort of scientific nitty gritty of, you know, trying to find out how a wall or stone would absorb energy or would make a recording, you kind of come up a bit of a stump there.
What I would say, though, I have conversations like this with a very good friend of mine from back home.
The air was almost so thick and how he would interpret it with all that sort of energy of all the suffering that has gone on within that arena.
