*downunder, *brain because of aurens' hint at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia , and *fail because this made the *1sttube *news and I use this term lightly.

Mm. Problem is that your explanation, if you can call it that, is only slightly more likely to be true than ghosts are. The hypothesis that people who claim to see ghosts are hallucinating, delusional, mistaken, prone to pareidolia, or simply lying, is far more likely than either "ghost" or "eye resonance".

What that means is that neurons fire at a certain rate to transmit data, communicate, change state, whatever. The neruon paths fire in the tens of Hz or slower, so maybe the visual cortex or visual nerve cells have a certain frequency they fire at and if you in an environment with EM or visual stimuli that is at certain frequencies, it makes sense this could have impact on what you "see", much like modulating and to create FM communication. Though you might call it more of a pulse stream shift keying.

I read some shit a while back that said the reason we experience paranormal events in certain environs is because of resonance factors that resonate with the same frequency as our eyes thus creating peripheral visions.
Seem interesting as a theory.

That's not a theory. A theory has to contain an actual explanation of the cause of the phenomena. What you gave is pseudo-scientific mumbo jumbo.
Our eyes resonate? WTF does that even mean?

what a fucking moron.

what's probably just as moronic is the news reporting on this without explaining how she is mistaken and offering to get her mental help.

But if it's Satan that got rid of George Bush Jr, then "Thanks indeed, Satan!"

In reply to this comment by RadHazG:
anyone know the name of the... "effect" that causes the human mind to "hear" a particular phrase or word if the sound is at least close to it, and they are told ahead of time what it is they are supposed to hear? I've seen this same bull pulled with animals "talking" and I'm never very impressed. Naturally won't stop the right wing nut jobs from using it if they can get away with it. Hell, Fox already pulls blatant outright lies all the time, why not this.

Yes, RadHazG, it's "auditory pareidolia".
