Most ghost sightings can be solved with this simple explanation.

Most ghost sightings can be solved with this simple explanation.

"Supernatural" occurrences may be attributed to something not so super natural.

British scientists have seen in controlled experiments that the extreme bass sound known as infrasound produces a range of bizarre affects in humans like anxiety, extreme sorrow, and the chills.

Prof.'s Lord and Wisemen played four contemporary pieces of live music-some of which were spiked with infrasound- at the London Concert Hall and asked the audience to describe their reactions to the music.

Although the audience didn't know that any of the pieces contained the infrasound, 22% reported more unusual experiences when it was present in the music.

This included feeling uneasy or sorrowful, getting chills down their spines or feeling nervous or fearful. Infrasound can be found in nature, and usually it isn't possible to hear it.

Scientists have determined that this sound is present as some allegedly haunted sites, causing people to feel sensations that they attribute to ghosts. Infrasound is also produced by storms, seasonal winds, and some types of earth quakes.

Creativity : Think Like a Child

We have discussed how children tend to be more creative than adults for various reasons. Thinking like a child is a good way to rewind your mental clock and potentially invent some creative solutions to your current problem or project. A good way to start thinking like a child is to abandon your judgment and knowledge of what is practical and start asking playful questions.



1. What if your project were an animal? What would it look like? Draw it.

2. If your project had parents, what would they be like?

3. What does your project like to eat?

4. If you were a hundred years in the future, how would you solve your problem?

5. What if you were a caveman? Would the problem still exist? If it didn't, what would be a related problem?



These are just examples of playful questions. Think up your own that make sense to your project.

Memory : Semantic Memory

Semantic memory refers to the memory of meanings and knowledge. For example, semantic memory would be used to remember your mother's birthday. The location of semantic memory in the brain is still debated, but many scientists believe that semantic memory is widely distributed across the entire brain.



Semantic memory is what is most often emphasized in schoolwork. The student is often required to memorize facts for later recall. It is interesting to note that semantic memory requires repetition whereas episodic memory is by definition the memory of a one-time event.

Vocabulary : Word of the Day : Garrulity

gar-ru-li-ty



noun :: Talkativeness.



"The garrulity of the teenager prompted her parents to get her her own cellphone."

This is the creepiest coincidence ever. It involves 2 suicides, a heart transplant and a bizarre marriage.

This is the creepiest coincidence ever. It involves 2 suicides, a heart transplant and a bizarre marriage.

69-year-old Sonny Graham received a life saving heart transplant after another man named Terry Cottle committed suicide.

Cottle's shot himself, leaving behind a widow, four children, and a perfectly good heart that was sent to Graham.

Graham was so thankful for having his life saved that he wrote a letter to Cottle's family thanking them for his generous donation.

Eventually Graham met Cottle's widow and claimed it was love at first sight.

"I felt like I had known her for years. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. I just stared."

They began dating and were eventually married. Strange? It gets weirder. After a total of twelve years had passed since Graham received the heart, his widow received a call that her second husband had just shot himself in the exact same circumstances as her first!

Get ready, because the story gets just downright creepy. Graham had Cottle's heart inside of him, shot himself in the same way, in the same circumstances, and also committed suicide on the exact same day!

Friends of Graham said he had never shown signs of being depressed and this was completely out of the blue. While the story is extremely sad, the coincides are just eerie.

Billionaire Howard Hughes was kinda weird. This might be the craziest thing anyone has asked of a hotel staff.

Billionaire Howard Hughes was kinda weird. This might be the craziest thing anyone has asked of a hotel staff.

The exclusive Beverly Hills Hotel has it's share of celebrity stories, though, most they don't repeat.

The sprawling hotel boasts 12 acres and 208 rooms. Its architect, Elmer Grey, also built 23 private bungalows in the Mediterranean style edifice.

The hotel is known for catering to the eccentricities of the rich and famous, as well as keeping their secrets. Now, the hotel is over 100 years old and going strong.

Howard Hughes was a regular at the hotel from 1942 until his death in 1976. Known for being reclusive, Hughes was quite the eccentric man.

He had the hotel staff place a working phone booth in his room, because he didn't want to go through the hotel operator.

He had the staff place his roast beef sandwiches in the crook of trees for him to retrieve. He'd go on 2 a.m. Treasure hunts for freshly baked pineapple upside-down cakes that staff had hidden on the grounds for him.

Next time you want to repel mosquitoes, drink Green Tea. This is why that helps.

Next time you want to repel mosquitoes, drink Green Tea. This is why that helps.

Mosquitoes are so pesky. We spend so much on citronella candles and sprays to keep the things away from us.

To keep them out of your house, make sure all sugary items are sealed well. Open cans of pop and fruit lying around are havens for mosquitoes and other pests like gnats.

Bounce dryer sheets repel a number of pests from mosquitoes to wasps and even mice. Place them around the house and by windows and the chemicals in the dryer sheets repel them.

Well brewed and unsweetened green tea repels mosquitoes from your skin. Drinking green tea instead of pop or juice is a much better option.

The chemicals in the green tea are excreted through your pores. It acts as a natural mosquito repellent.

The less sugar in your system, the better, because mosquitoes are attracted to sugar. So, there you have it. Cut out the sugar and drink green tea. It's healthier, anyways.
