Fairfield Hills Insane Asylum.... Connecticut

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Here in Portland we have the Haunted Pub Crawl...where you go pub to pub, get drunk, and then go beneath the city to tour old opium dens, shanghai tunnels, and hasty burials. It's insanely creepy down there and it's bloody awesome.

Pareidolia

/thread

Lol. That only has very little merit. Jesus imprinted on a grilled cheese is just stupid

Pareidolia is far more than recognition of religious figures, maybe you both need to read the entire entry.

Humans have evolved to recognize faces and appearances...even when they aren't there. Ever wonder why it's always Jesus, the Virgin Mary or some other Christian figure instead of someone that fits the description of Mahavira, Shiva, or Zoroaster? Popularity, people don't know what they look like so they don't "see" them.

Occam's razor my friends - I'll stack two million years of human evolution against a "I can't believe you can't see it", quasi-focused picture of something that even those that see can't agree upon what it is - any day of the week.

Just another link in case you didn't see the other one.

How the brain spots faces

Well I wasnt really leaning towards the religious aspect, but, illusions and what the human brain wants to see is just amazing. But back on topic, seriously, there is a full fledged face in that picture whether its really there or not.

ok this can cover the face in the picture, but does it cover the skull in the tree? or when people see apparitions, shadows even orbs in pictures? how about cold spots?

ill stick to believing what i saw and see. But that is kinda the reason i didnt want to say what i saw in the first place.i completely understand where your coming from. but the simple way of thinking is creepy and awesome.

anyways we took a short trip back there this past weekend. nothing really that new to report. we did get close to one of the buildings and were able to get a shot of the basement with all the plumbing pipes and all that. got a picture with orbs in it and a two pictures of the same window but something is different between the two. ill try to post them later.

we noticed some places like the cochran house being fenced off now so you cant walk up to the front door. we were also watched like a hawk by security. ever corner we turned he was there. also read that some guy in 2010 wanted to turn the cochron house into apartments. id be in one for sure!

There's a lot of unexplained stuff out there, I just don't think humans can rely on their own senses...I need quantification, I'm more Scully than Mulder I guess. Cold spots, sub-vocal stuff, magnetic anomalies - there are detection devices for all of these.

But next time you're on a trip to my midwestern roots here's a couple for you...

Story, IN - Blue Lady

Southern Illinois - Old Slave House

Or if you're in my current state...The Bell Witch
