Paranormal: The Hum 🤔

 

Have you heard the Hum?

Some do, Most don't....

The Hum is an odd low frequency droning or rumbling sound that has no definitive origins.

It's been heard around the world for decades now, but can only be heard by a small fraction of the global population.

The Hum has been reported world wide, however for some reason certain areas like Taos, New Mexico and Windsor, Ontario, have become particularly known for their localized Hum phenomena, often referred to as the "Taos Hum" or "Windsor Hum.

Explanations for it's source have ranged from Power Plants, High voltage power lines, cell towers, radio waves tinnitus or even paranormal activity like aliens or psychic/spiritual powers 

Though to this day it's true source is unknown...

Locations the Hum has been reported in

Dreams

What are they?

Perhaps a glimpse into an alternate world? 

or possibly latent precognitive psychic ability's run amuck..
...................


Some would answer: Dreams are your hope's or aspiration's for the future ..something you want
to do or a goal you wish to achieve eventually..

others may say dreams are just a psychological manifestation of your subconscious mind trying to process the events of your day to day life  or even just the manifestation of stress you may be going through..

Both valid responses.....Because even with all our scientific prowess we  still don't have a definitive  answer for what they truly are.


from time to time we have all had a dream/ nightmare that really hits home, something about it that you just can't shake maybe a joyous occasion that has yet to happen or possibly a nightmare waiting just around the corner.

Can some dream really foretell future events, giving us a  warning for what may lay ahead.

No doubt you've all heard of the Titanic, the unsinkable new ship, that met an icy end on her maiden voyage on April 12th, 1912 after colliding with an iceberg.. but would it surprise you to know that writer Morgan Robertson wrote a novel in 1898 about a new unsinkable transatlantic luxury ship
that strikes an iceberg and sinks resulting in a substantial lose of life in the month of April...the name of the ship in his book was The Titan....

could he have subconsciously viewed this future event in a dream, was this a premonition or  nothing more then a lot of very strange coincidences all at once?

How exactly would we explain the stranger aspect of our nocturnal thoughts and what do we make of the more prophetic dream's especially one's that
keeps recurring night after night?
.................................



Today we take a trip back to the 70's a time of bell bottoms, Disco fever  and hippie tea....(The secret ingredient was weed .......But you didn't hear  that from me
.......


Ok joking aside today were going to talk about one man's bizarre recurring dreams and the disaster it proceeded...




David Booth..



An otherwise normal man from Cincinnati, Ohio was being haunted by a nightmare that kept replaying night after night..


It all started on May 16th 1979.

David covered in sweat and felling nauseous suddenly awoke from a frightening dream, his wife seeing how distressed he had become  asked him what was wrong.. David then told her of his nightmare, unfortunately for him this was only the beginning.

He recounted that in his dream he was looking out to the horizon on his right, and suddenly there was a jet flying towards him that wasn't making any sound then all of the sudden it banked sharply with the right wing up in the air and was flying inverted for a moment, before diving straight into the ground with a tremendous explosion.

It was at that moment he awoke.

As terrible as it was David believed it to be nothing more then a very bad dream....

Until he had the same dream again the next night and each night following, and every nightmare just as vivid as the last to the point that he would wake up in tears.

This nightmare would repeat over and over again, the same jet  the same crash, this process continued up until May 22.

It was at this point that David began to think this was more then just a horrible dream and that it may in fact happen sometime soon.


So he decided that if the dream accrued again he would try to remember as much detail about the location and the type of jet as he
could in hope's of possibly preventing a tragety. He had a strong filling that the plane was connected to American Airlines, one of the
busiest airplanes in the country at the time.


On the seventh night the dream came again..


After this David contacted The Federal Aviation Administration in Cincinnati, and recounted the event of the dream to Paul Williams the manager of the FAA .

Mr Williams thankfully took David's concerns seriously and ask for as much detail as he could remember, David at the moment unfortunately was only sure it was an American Airlines jet.

Williams proceeded to question David, asking for any detail he could remember, this process would yield more formation as David would go one to state that the jet had a total of 3 jet engines  one on each wing and  one on the tail it was then identified as a DC-10 Jet
but that was all they  could ascertain at the moment..


David would go on to have the same dream 3 more nights, becoming more and more stressed and concerned with each passing day.

It was becoming so bad that he eventually saute  out psychiatric help, believing he was starting to loose his mind.

In the meantime Paul Williams contacted several other airports and relaid Davis information, but the details of the crash and the type of jet and no expected date, time or location they were unable to do anything about it.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

The dream came again on the night of  May 25th 1979, however this time when he woke up David had an unsettling filling this would
be the last.

This was a mixed filling though as he felt relief that the nightmare may finally be over, he was also  worried  about the possible accident  waiting to occur.

Later that very same day at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at 3:05 pm flight 191 a DC-10 jet took off for Los Angeles

All looked well at first the plane took off normally, then suddenly without warning it started to rotate and dive.

The plane was only airborne for a few moments before it started its plummet, sadly the crew was unable  regain control and the jet crashed in a field to the left of O'Hair Airport almost exactly as in Davids dreams.

The crash claimed the  lives of 2 individuals on the ground, the 13 man crew and all of the 258 passengers on board.


It was later discovered that the left wing engine had dislodged mid-flight and hit the rear of the plane severing the electric system and hydraulics in the process. The left wing slats became jammed and caused the right wing to lift tipping the plane and bringing it down.

5 days before Davids dream began this very plane had undergone a basic inspections  on May 11th with no existing problems found.


These records were somehow "lost" during or shortly after the investigation.

After hearing about the crash and subsequent lose of life, and blamed himself for not doing more to prevent it David nearly  suffered a nervous breakdown believing somehow  he could have or should have  done more to save all these people.


Shortly after the crash word got out about Davids dreams and warning's to the FAA, several newspaper's attempted to contact him.

He gave a handful of interviews, and afterwards all but disappeared from the spotlight....

For a long time the DC-10 Jet was viewed by many as structurally unsound, and had many accidents before this crash.

One of which was a 1974, Turkish airlines flight 891 that resulted in the death of 346 individuals.

Soon after the horrific crash of flight 191 the DC-10 Jet line was decommission and eventually phased out of service following
one more fatal crash in  October of the same year.

;;;;;;;


In another strange turn of events, it would seem that David was not the only one to have a troubling premonition about this flight.

Judy Wax, author and former playboy editor along with her husband unfortunately made there way on to the soon to be doomed jet..

Soon after the crash fans of her literary work noted that in her final book (Starting In The Middle) she wrote a line on page 191 expressing her fear of flying, the same number as the flight that would claim the life of her and her husband .

=======================
Another odd account comes from Lindsey Wagner (The Bionic Woman) ..

Lindsey and her mother had tickets for flight 191 heading back to California.
Wagner recounts that just before boarding the plane she  was overcome with nausea which she interpreted as a warning that the plane
was dangerous, she then convinced her mother not to board..

shorty after words they witnessed the tragic crash that claimed the lives of all aboard...

So are dreams nothing more then our nigh time thoughts, or perhaps a gimps into another world or possibly even the future...

Pay close attention to your next dream you never know, it may just come true..

More Firestarter's

Firestarters.....

In 1882, in Paw Paw, Michigan, (All most  sounds like a certain song haha ......anyway) A 24 year-old man, named A.W. Underwood  came  to the attention of a  Dr L. C. Woodman. 

 Underwood had  an interesting power and he had to be careful  whenever he breathed, in order to avoid causing random fires. At first the doctor thought the stories were nothing more then lies or exaggerations, Until   Underwood himself, came in looking for help.

After some persuading Dr. Woodman finally agreed  to do a few tests, and to the amazement of himself and his and his  colleagues, Underwood was able to  do just as he had claimed, and to the best of there knowledge  the doctors  could not explain what was taking place . Doctor Woodman told the Michigan Medical News on ( September 11, 1882)

He will take anybody's handkerchief and hold it to his mouth rub it vigorously with his hands while breathing on it and immediately it bursts into flames and burns until consumed. He will strip and rinse out his mouth thoroughly, wash his hands and submit to the most rigid examination to preclude the possibility of any humbug, and then by his breath blown upon any paper or cloth envelop it in flame. He will, while out gunning and without matches desirous of a fire lie down after collecting dry leaves and by breathing on them start the fire..

Dr. Woodman himself stated publicly on many different occasions  that he was positive  Underwood's power's were real. 

After noticed that Underwood would  always  hold the cloth or other material against his mouth so that he could force his breath through it, and by doing so was then able to somehow focus and concentrate  whatever  power it was that lead to the flames, The doctors washed Underwood's mouth out with various mixtures, and told him to wear surgeon's rubber gloves  as a way to prevent him from cheating, but it never made any difference   the strange ability  continued to work the same  as it always had. 

Underwood had allowed himself to be tested for several  months, and,even though the finished  report was published in the "Michigan Medical News" and other similar journals, no one has ever came forward with an plausible  explanation for Underwood's paranormal fire-breathing power's.


Another interesting case was reported In 1927, by  then Vice President of the U.S, Charles Dawes. He   personally investigated the case of a car mechanic from Memphis, Tennessee, who's ability's were very similar to Underwood's, The man had the ability to set inflammable material on fire just by breathing on it. The man took General Dawes' handkerchief, breathed on it, and it caught fire. The man is now simply known as  the anonymous car mechanic.

Dawes and his colleagues decided that it was in fact something paranormal, and  not just some  kind of  trick, and to this day no reasonable explanation could be found, it was left unexplained. 


What's really interesting is that Underwood and the mechanic we're  both able to control there ability at will, most of the time, this kind of power usually  happens on it's own and at random times  or around poltergeist activity.

Poltergeist examples

In May 1878 at a farmhouse in Bridgewater, Scotland, strange fires started with no apparent cause, loud raps and banging  were heard and household and many items such as dishes and loaves of bread moved around . After a police investigation a servant girl named, Ann Kidner,  only 12 at the time, was arrested, and accused of tossing lighted matches, but was released by the magistrate because of insufficient evidence to hold her. 


Then in  October 1886, a 12 year-old boy named Willie Brough, of Turlock, Madison County, California, was accused of setting things on fire just by looking at the object,  and was expelled from School after five unexplained fires had started around him. His parents thought he was possessed by the devil and sent him away.......

The exact cause of these strang power's are still unknown............................

16 year old toddler

16 year old toddler

Brooke Greenberg. 

The ageless Infant.













Both scientist's and doctors alike are completely  baffled at the discovery of an infant, that for whatever reason doesn't seem to age.


By all standard account's Brook Greenberg appears to be your average care free and happy toddler, at first glance you would think nothing was out of the ordinary there right?....well you would be wrong.

Because baby Brook is not really an infant at all rather she is a sixteen year old girl, who for some reason doesn't seem to age, or at least not in the way we normally think of ageing.

Brooke just turned 16 in January. She is 30 inches tall and weighs 16 pounds.

During  an interview.....

"Why doesn't she age? said Brooke's father Howard Greenberg.

It is that very question that have scientist's so interested in young Brooke! There are many different known ailment's that effect the healthy growth of children, some of which are directly responsible for causing abnormalities such as dwarfism or symptoms of rapid ageing (progeria). But according to her pediatrician Lawrence Pakula, from the Johns Hopkins school of Medicine in Baltimore, Brooke's case may be unique, Even some of the most well known scientific minds in this field of study are at a lose to explain this case, to date they have never seen a case like this, says Dr. Pakula.

Another doctor named Richard Walker from the University of South Florida College of Medicine, in Tampa, says that Brooke's body is not developing as a coordinated unit, rather individual parts seem to be growing out of sync with one another. To date Brooke has never been diagnosed with any known chromosomal anomalies or genetic syndrome's.

Dr. Walker along with two other scientist's, Lawrence Pakula and Maxine Sutcliffe, a geneticist from the All Children's Hospital in St.Petersburg, FL. Recently co-authored a paper for the journal "Mechanisms of Ageing and Development." In this article they say that there were a number of odd occurrence's related to Brooke's growth.... Throughout her life there has been very little change in her brain and cognitive function, and her various body parts arms, legs...etc seem to age at a slightly different pace then the other rather then maturing at the same pace, they also noted that her bone structure seems to be about 10 years old, and even though she is now 16 years old she still has her baby teeth.

Melanie Greenberg Brooks mother says, "She loves to shop"

Brooke rides along in the stroller whenever her mother goes shopping.

Melanie says.........

"That Brooke is in her mid-teens is so mind boggling that if another mother with a toddler asks how old she is?, she usually doesn't try to explain it."

"My system has always bee to turn years into months." She said that way if some one asked today i mite say she's 16 months old."

Brooke's family consists of her mother and father Melanie and Howard Greengerg and her three sisters 22 year old Emily, 19 year old Caitlin and 13 year old Carly, all of which are of an average size.

"She looks like a 6-month old, but she kind of has the personality of a 16 year old."
"Sometimes we joke about how she rebels." said Caitlin.

Brooke will resist and refuse activities that don't appeal to her by vocalizing her displeasure, not with words. but with sounds typical of an infant. "She makes it known what she likes and what she doesn't like." said Emily.

and Carly said,
It no longer seems strange to have an older sister who is still essentially an infant. "As i got older she was just like another little sister to me."
