"The Stone Tape" is completely different, it's just ordinary technology researchers trying to go about their business and stumbling over something that is left mostly to the viewer's imagination. The terror doesn't come from what is shown, it comes from what is *not* shown, but slowly forms as an idea in the viewer's mind as the layers are peeled back. > I have never seen a ghost myself though. > I knew somebody who claimed to have seen some at a burial site... It depends what you mean by 'ghost' - I have never seen a gliding figure in a white sheet moaning "Whooo!" but I have seen some very strange things that are not accounted for by conventional knowledge. I have also experienced an overwhelming feeling of dread in one particular location -- many years later I mentioned it to a friend and found she had had exactly the same experience at the same place. A week after our mother died, my sister and I both had a very strange experience. She sounded me out cautiously, in case I ridiculed her, but I knew exactly what she was going to tell me and confirmed that it had just happened to me too. -- ~ Liz Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk
