    Yea, there’s little correlation anywhere with anything except people hearing spooky stories or assuming spooky things. Or the rare case where there is loud sub-audible noise or EMF that makes people feel uneasy, and make up the rest.

      The human mind is a pattern-seeking engine. Even when real patterns aren’t there, imaginary ones will be detected instead. Just look at the clouds for a while, and you’ll see what I mean. This applies to images, sounds, events, just about anything really.
