Althalus Posted October 17, 2003 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Lights flickered on and a wooden gate swung open -- as if beckoning toward the widow's walk atop the city's oldest beachside home. Four women stood at the foot of the stairs frozen for a millisecond. "The light turned on by itself!" said Liz Stiles, 51, of Edgewater. Another stunned pause followed. Gulps of air. Then Maureen Ferencz, 52, of Ormond Beach, raised a rectangle-shaped instrument slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes. Peppercorn-sized lights -- a red one, a green one and an orange one -- lit up. Ferencz could hardly contain herself. "I'm getting a reading," Ferencz said quickly. The quartet ascended the spiral stairs -- for another set of intense exclamations about how their instruments might be showing what they can't see with their own eyes: Spirits inhabit this 119-year-old home known as Lilian Place. Ferencz and Stiles are part of a fledgling ghost-hunting group, Halifax Hauntings, that, last week, spent from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. trying to measure the amount of ghostly activity in the home that's being renovated into a bed-and-breakfast inn. The group, led by Ferencz's son, Scott, 34, has done the same at the Live Oak Inn and the Halifax Historical Society. Armed with a night-vision camera, electromagnetic field detectors and an electronic voice phenomena recorder -- mostly donated by the Daytona Beach-based business, Spook Tech -- the group also intends to record spectral activity at the Daytona Playhouse and various local cemeteries, such as Pilgrim's Rest.

Kismit Posted October 19, 2003 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2003 Personally I can't work out wether it's a book deal or a television show they'll do next . Great article Al ... Another thing that interests me is why do you think sairways have such an influence over the way we feel . It's allways the place a presence is most felt . Is it an area that builds up electromagnetic energy ? Or is it a more benign reptiillian sector of the mind response . Where the person on the steps responds to a level of fear induced by the inner knowlege that your escape roots are lessened . Basic self preservation . Stair wells are terrible feung-shui you know...

It could be this and the the fact that people's depth perception isn't perfect, wich may create a heightened sense of anxiety for some, when it comes to stairs. Our minds are powerful, and unfortunately don't always work FOR us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
