Supernatural anyone?

Played at Ghostseeker UKs Charity Spiritual evening in Grangemouth Town Hall last night (4/11/11)

Was told by the speaker, Tracey Higgs, that "someone" was with me on stage.

Now, someone recorded this vid of me, and theres a strange white ball to the left of my bass drone.

Is it an orb, or just a ghost with his tuner trying to sort me out?

I must be missing something as I see no strange ball where you describe it. What I do see is the silver ball of the stage microphone in its stand picking up some light from off stage and glowing in almost silhouette but nothing else

[Neil Clark]

Looking less weird every time I view it now, but the thing in question is where I described it. The bass drone is the big drone, to clarify. to the right of that.

Anyway, I've been told its a hole in the curtain by an aviation expert....

Phosphorescentfart is a lesser-known supernatural phenomenon, usually detected by "sensitives" by sound or smell, but sometimes caught on camera. It most often occurs in the presence of dogs or cats, and is sometimes associated with elderly persons. This is discussed at some length in the book "Das Stille Mist" by August Trausserkoff, published in 1939. An English language translation entitled "Offending the Senses" was privately published in England (sadly without the illustrations) by Sir John Bowles-Skiddmarque in 1958. Copies occasionally turn up on ebay. Phosphorescentfarts may be confused by some as a form of ectoplasm, but the two are dissimilar in their manifestation, as Trausserkoff was at pains to point out.

As I was playing, I couldn't either hear or smell the phenomenon. And I certainly wasn't the originator...

Have a look at the frame 0.12 seconds in. You will see an identical while light at the top about 1/6th the way in from the left had side as you look at the stage. You will also see two more similar lights as you glance right from the position of your left hand going up right at around 45 degree angle. You will also notice just above these lights there appears to be a lighting bar and you can make out the silhouettes of two stage lamps centre top

The top three images are all likely to be reflections from security chains that are not properly fixed (because there are no lamps to fix them to in those positions on the bar)

I think the source of all these glints are similar metallic reflections but I agree there could be a hole in the curtain, or even a gap where the two halves of the curtain should meet that might account for the one nearest to you

[Neil Clark]

Wow, thanks David. Never intended to take it that seriously! 0.12 seconds in?

Actually, I was more concerned that my F was a tad sharp

Very interesting...funny word too! (sorry!)

Does your realm of expertise know no bounds? I will have to try and find a copy for my wife so she stops giving me a dirty looks when I tell her "it wasn't me." Guess this old place must have a odorifous specter that I was unaware of. Is this phenomenon in any way related to the creature that seems to eat socks when they are in the dryer? Perhaps the high fiber content is the reason for the repeated offenses.

That's made my day
