We had a Thelemic cult of our own going a while back. Temple in the house, rituals indoors and out, piercing, strange drugs, one death and the inevitable shagging. Weird scenes inside the goldmine indeed.

_{Now I look like Richard Briers}.

>>1071

Are you talking TOPY?

It was a wonderful thing for me to grow up with in the 80s. Most of us had the measure of Gen and didn't regard him as infallible, in fact frequently regarded him as very silly! I have nothing but good memories and positive formative experiences.

>>1071
Are you talking Solar lodge?

>>1072

I'm jealous! I started becoming interested in British Industrial music in the middle of my teenage years (late 90s) out of curiosity (so a bit late really), I think somethings lost when you've got everything at your fingertips with the internet. Did you write to Gen and co? or receive weird artifacts in the post?
What I wouldn't give to go back to the 70s and live on a bleak industrial estate named 'THE DEATH FACTORY', haha.

>>1074
Yes a lot of very strange things in the post which would alarm my mum. It wasn't really so different from the internet before the internet existed in a way. I got laid when I was still at school by a cool older TOPY chick, that was pretty good! I'm still in touch with some people from those days - musicians etc. It was a surprisingly tiny scene in the early days before PTV went dancy and crusties got involved. So there would be an incestuous mingling of power electronics and industrial bands & fans in an obviously Burroughs-derived culty and debauched fantasy world atmosphere. I do still sigilise sometimes. It works. "It is the Key to the Temple" (spooky melodramatic voice)

A film titled THE DEATH FACTORY about the industrial scene of those days set on a bleak estate in the style of This Is England would be great although of limited accessibility...Ramleh's 'Fistfuck' as the opening theme music, haha

Good episodes with the right amount of mystery and creepiness.

New doctor has really thrown himself into the role. No half-arsed and he's clearly rehearsed the role a lot before filming.

New assistant is a good foil and also smoking hot.

Couldn't be better.

>>991

Most of the Doctors are like that. It has enough of a 'legacy' that the people who want the role are more than likely small enough actors that they are in it for the fandom more than the money. Not that they aren't paid wel enough for it.

I genuinely love this new series of Who, even the godawful pastiches they throw in don't put me off (like the James Bond shit in the last episode)

Moffat is a master. His episodes were always the scariest, and I agree that Blink is perhaps the best one of the whole new lot (since 2005). The two most recent ones with the weeping angels were excellent as well.

Whenever you see the films like 28 days later. Where there are cars everywhere you have to wonder why they dont take them especially a BIG 4X4 or a truck to mow down the zombies on your journey to safety.

>>1057
have you never watched an older zombie film? whenever they take an abandoned car, there's guaranteed to be a sleeping zombie in the back or under one of the seats or something

Honestly, I'd love to randomly wake up one day and find me and four of my mates, and four other girls, are the only humans left in Britain, and we've got to make our way across Europe to say, Poland, where there's a giant base for all the survivors. We'd totally raid some army base and oh my God I want this to happen so much, I'm like a 14 year old.

>>1059

I'd normally say "be careful what you wish for", but...well...zombies.

>Zombies are scared of crucifixes, even makeshift ones
>Stand like this

>>1047

What, to the Griffin or the town? If the former, go over the swing bridge, walk up on the left hand side till you get to Church St (cobbles), turn left on to Church St., it's there on the right (a few doors down).

>>1048

Many thanks.

I'll go as soon as I get some spare cash and someone to come with me, because I'm not going there alone.

In the meantime, I noticed you used the word 'ghosts'. Does this mean there's more than one?

>>1053

There's supposed to be more than one, yeah. I've heard of odd happenings in the cellar, though I didn't see any of that. There's the reported happenings (if you call banshee howls from hysterical women 'reports') from upstairs, and there was talk of some nonsense in what used to be the upstairs dining room by a waitress or two. It's an old building (17thC I think) and one of the more notorious ones for putting the willies up you in a town full of them. If you're going, go to Bagdale Old Hall as well as the Monk's Haven cafe on Church St. Find some old codhead if you can to pump for more details. See if you can lurk in the front bar of the Black Horse, and if that's too 'local' for you, the tourist friendly Duke of York should offer some refuge.

Stay at the Youth Hostel if you can. The place used to belong to the Cholmondelys - I nit you shot - and is also supposed to be haunted. Just by the abbey, of course, which has its own grey lady and a few besides, as well as pirates' graves in the neighbouring churchyard (yes, real pirates)...I'll shut up now.

>>1053

So did you go or what? Have you been done in by angry codheads? Do tell (if you can) - one knock for yes...

>>1063

I'm having trouble finding somebody to come with me (because my friends are party types, and mentioning 'ghost hunting' would cause much mocking), and I'm not going on my own because I'm an especially large pussy.

>>1014
Being tired affects your brain in similar ways to some psychoactives.

>>1015 Indeed, If I ever go to a party/event somewhere far away If I'm shattered on the train back random people talking sound like the people I've been with.
I also see shadow people occasionally when stoned, sometimes they're harmless, sometimes I think they want to kill me.

Don't know about that, but when I'm high sometimes in the corner of my eye I see shadows moving. I'm usually too baked to give a shit though. I think I could take a ghost, as well.

A lot of nights I took mephedrone on my own before going to bed once the high dwindled, I'd close my eyes and still be able to see. Generally I was half asleep, but I could still see shadows moving and was aware that if I opened my eyes, I would see less. I could see my hand waving in front of my face with my eyes closed, although I was sceptical that this may just be a co-ordination of my brain and my hand. It's hard to describe. It was really cool, there was no real alignment I perceived, they were just there. Not really a great story, but possibly relevant.

>>1049
Brains try their hardest to see patterns in everything, it's a survival trait. When your brain is tired/confused/high, the information coming in is of a lower grade, so to be on the safe side, it starts to assume everything is a pattern, even if not.
It's quite fun to experiment with, but not so much if you get stuck with it.

>>1031
How odd. I'm sure I did that right.

The guys hands on the tape look just like those of the film maker who was "given" the tape. Spooky.

They're a sister mag to New Scientist, aren't they?

I must admit I've never read it, but I see it all the time in places like WHSmith. I will doubtless pick up a copy now that .gs has recommended it.

Meh. I've had a flick through it in Borders when it still existed, there seemed to be a major lack of actual content.
This is the impression I was left with at least.

>>1006

I loved FT. It was mint. I stopped buying it when I left the cult and now I may go back.

>>1007

Actually, I have a feeling it's a sister magazine to Bizarre magazine... although it's been years since I bought that.

It used to have feature articles on true life murder cases or cult suicides and things that were interesting, now it just seems to be all sex/fetish stuff.

I've always wanted to buy Fortean Times, but never have. I don't think I've ever seen it either.

>>1021
Fortean Times and Bizarre are both published by Dennis, but they aren't 'sister' magazines as such. You might see adverts for either one in each mag, but only because the reader demographics for both are largely similar and it's essentially free advertising.

>>773
I don't know enough about the details of Teslas work, but it stems from that. Some people believe that Tesla managed to "move" or "direct" energy from one place to another (I'm grossly paraphrasing). The tinfoil hats believe (more or less) that you charge up the ionosphere and then somehow cause all that "charge" to be directed into the ground at a certain point.

There was also a film in the past couple of years that alluded to this idea and Teslas work (and mentioned HAARP). The plot to it was that HAARP had gone wrong, caused a huge tidal wave and that engulfed New York - I can picture the film poster but can't remember it's name.....

>>775
I think it was The Day After Tomorrow where NY is hit by an ice-age.

>>773
Using the ionosphere to create earthquakes, from Tesla's work, has been going on for over 100 years, since he allegedly caused the 1906 San Francisco earth quake with his "teleforce weapon" that the press at the time called a "death ray". These earthquake lights don't seem to have any basis in ancient history even though this seems to be the kind of shit that people from that era would lap up and proclaim it as an act of god.

Pretty flimsy theory but tbh I don't care, its a conspiracy theory and if it wasn't flimsy it'd be a well believed fact.

>>773 The stress on rocks generates an electric current, it's been tested by some scientist.

Twitter is rolling with reports of rainbow cloud over Los Angeles today. Reports are coming in that this looks similar to before both the China and Chile quakes where residents reported and took photos of such events in the sky.

We're not allowed to joke on this website.

Anything you say must be said with a straight face in the standing position.

Certainly very interesting. But second hands with jerky motions are just as bizarre; why, when I catch one in of the corner of my eye, is the second hand always going backwards?

I wonder if it's an optical illusion or eye malfunction since it seems to be caused by the eye defocusing and not the processing of the image in the brain.

>>867
It's certainly weird and I'm not sure how to explain it. Surely it can't be just a trick with the eye because when the hand starts moving again, it moves from the exact same part it stopped. If you were imagining it slow down, surely it'd jump forward.

The clock thing is just an optical illusion. It has nothing to do with time, it is just how the eye perceives a steady rotating motion. The fact that it works on clocks doesn't mean time stops you dafties.

>>944
Thank you, Captain Obvious.

I don't believe in them, but I think that possibly the things believers see can be scientifically explained, which would open up a whole new avenue. It's possible they are interference from another universe or dimension, though that wouldn't really explain their increased sightings in 'haunted' houses and such.

There needs to be more research done on those who claim to have seen many ghosts - measure their brain activity in a haunted house in which people report frequent sightings, and compare that to a group of sceptics with them. That's where I'd start.

>>864
Ghosts are just a species living another dimension which we can't usually experience. Maybe an alien species.

I don't actually believe that but it's a nice conspiracy.

>>864
No. Bollocks. That's just new-age hippy shite you're spouting. Alternate dimensons my arse, how would they even line up with us?
It's all been very thoroughly researched, but the results are ignored in favour of wishful thinking. You've never even googled for real explanations of these things, have you?

I did some research on infrasound a while back, because my university course revolves around audio and I've always been partial to playing with peoples minds.

Certain dodgy electronics and even piping can sometime result in certain frequencies being given out, some tricking the eye, some play on perceptions and fear.

Here's the link to the wikipedia article on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound

Correct me if I've made any errors, I'm not exactly an expert on this.

I've had a few experiences as a child, although now I think it was just imagination (although I shared one experience with a friend).
But no, I don't believe in them, as far as I'm aware every photo or video has been proven fake.
