My sister in law recently reminded me on the time just after my mother died when we had all returned home and at one particular time were in the kitchen. The old house had an upstairs/downstairs type of bell system. Each bedroom had a buzzer which rang in the kitchen when service was required. The thing in the kitchen (don't know what it was called)had a number system so when the bell rang you would know which room it was from. My mother used this a lot during her ill health. It would give you a fright and annoy the hell out of you at the same time as often you would have just come downstairs having been to see her.


Anyway, we were all there and guess what...........it rang.

Apparitions are like Rainbows.


They are only 'Visable' from a certain aspect as they are not solid and have no substance.


The Brain tries to interperit 'Ghostly' Shapes in a similar way people see faces in burning coals and clouds.


This triggers off the imagination in an attempt to make sense of what we see.


Certain substances can enhance these images and even combine them with sound.


Hearing Colours and seeing sounds When the sensors in the brain cross over.


Just lay off the cheese before bed time.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
