Stupid ColleaguesGodwin's Lawyer tells us: "I once worked with a lad who believed 'Frankenstein' was based on a true story, and that the book was written by Shirley Bassey." Tell us about your workplace dopes.

How do you explain ghosts and fairies?Infrasound and low frequency sound waves.
The vibrations (at around 8hz) cause the eyes to vibrate and can cause slight hallucinogenic images whilst at the same time causing chills and sometimes nausea.
One particular 'haunted house' had an extractor fan that when the wind blew back down it when it was off, would spin and create a sound at, yep, 8hz.

I just went DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH eight times a second and nothing happened.Far more likely that the blowing air caused chills, and the change in pressure caused nausea.

Hmmmquite likely.
I couldn't find reference to the 8hz, so I may well have remembered that wrong.
I did find this though:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound#The_Ghost_in_the_Machine
Which makes interesting reading if nothing else.
