My Journey into Darkness

Have you ever felt like things weren't right?  That no matter what you did, you were deceiving yourself?  I know I felt that way for a long time.  This is part of my journey.  Being born into a Catholic family I was always told that I should behave and act a certain way or else I would burn in a fiery pit of Hell for eternity.  Hmmm, could it be true?

Despite all of this indoctrination, I could never reconcile what I felt with what I was being told.  So, my journey began.  For a number of years, I would say from the teenage years to about my early twenties, I had no spiritual direction.  In those years, I dabbled, albeit lightly, into the Occult like so many disillusioned teenagers did.  Even that did not fill the void of being empty of spirituality.  At around the age of twenty three, I came to what I thought back then as a revelation.  Instead of following established doctrine, I had decided to take matters into my own hands.

What I did was I chose to believe in a "God", or a supreme being.  Not the same "God" as in any established religions, but a sort of creator of sorts with a twist.  I didn't make any claims that I knew exactly how things worked, but that didn't matter.  I now felt like I was spiritually whole again.  I would pray every night for the well being of friends and family and even when my father passed away nine years ago my belief and faith held strong.  In fact, if anything, it became stronger.  For many years, up until I was the age of thirty five, I held true to that belief. 

Fast forward a bit to the year 2007.  This is the year that my belief started to get a bit shaky.  In December of that year, my mother had an incident.  I was at work when I got a call from my sister asking me if I knew where our mother was.  I said that she should be home.  She called me about it because she said she tried calling home and no one answered.  Since she lived near our house, she said she was going to take a walk over to see if everything was okay.  Once she got there, she saw my mother lying on the kitchen floor, unable to get up.  My mother at the time was seventy four years old, and had pretty serious arthritis on her knees and one hip.  After she fell, she simply could not get herself up.

Needless to say, she was brought to the hospital.  It turned out that she had apparently drunk some alcohol and with the amount of medication she was on, it probably did her in.  As a matter of fact, she seemed pretty drunk even by the time she was in the hospital.  Now, someone of that age, firstly should not be drinking, was kept at the emergency room while they ran some tests and made sure she didn't break any bones, especially her hips.  All looked good from that aspect, but for some reason, the doctor said that they needed to keep her there a bit longer while they performed some further tests.  She didn't say immediately what the test were for, but eventually she told us it was for her heart.  Apparently, my mother had a condition with her heart that required her to have a pacemaker put in.  To make a long story short, she ended up spending the Christmas holidays in the hospital while waiting for the surgery.

During her stay at the hospital, I of course prayed for her well being and a speedy recovery.  When the operation finally took place, it went through without a hitch.  They kept her at the hospital for a couple of days past the surgery, just to ensure everything was good and finally released her in time to have her home for New Years.  This incident, and certain details of what occurred while my mother was in the emergency room that I will not disclose, started me on the shaky path.  But, still I held firm even though seeds of doubt had begun to sprout.

After my mother was back home from the hospital, all looked well.  She actually started to look and feel better than before the surgery.  This was great news and helped to suppress those seeds of doubt for a little while.  Now, fast forward a little bit again to April 6, 2009.  My mom's 75th birthday.  On that day, my mom wanted to make a special dinner to celebrate her 75th birthday with us.  But, that didn't occur.  Instead, we hear a big thumb from the kitchen.  My brother, my sister and myself all ran to the kitchen and saw once again that my mother was on the ground.  This time however, she had managed to hit her head on something and she split her eyebrow open, right to the bone.  Immediately, my brother took her to the walk in clinic just up the street, and they advised him to take her to the hospital right away.  So he did.  Off to the same hospital where she was back in December to have the pacemaker put in.

Instead of spending her birthday with her family and a nice meal, she spend pretty much the whole day in emergency once again.  Waiting for a doctor to see her and to stitch her eyebrow.  Once all was said and done, we didn't get back home until around 7pm.  Now those seeds in my head started to vibrate a little, and maybe even formed a little crack so that they can grow.  Again, being the stubborn mule that I sometimes can be, I held true to my belief, even if I started having doubts.

Well, the fun didn't stop there.  In June of 2009, the same year as the eyebrow incident, my mother suffered a stroke.  My mother already started exhibiting signs of early Alzheimer's and suffering this stroke progressed it along even quicker.  The part of the brain that was damaged was in the back of the head, the part that is responsible for short term memory.  This really did a number on me, and seeing my mother after her stroke forget simple things and say things that didn't make any sense really exploded those seeds into full grown plants.

This is where my journey into darkness began.  I was depressed for a while because of all the things that happened and because finally, my faith, my belief, was utterly destroyed and I was left with a big void again.  This is the same faith and belief that stood strong when my father passed away.  Now, I was empty, I didn't know what to believe any more.  Again, I turned to the Occult for some reprieve from this sense of loss, but none came.  To think that I could easily replace what I have lost by reading some books about other people's beliefs is deceiving myself.  This is a journey that I must make yet again and must do it on my own.  I have finally come to terms with that fact that I am and have always been dark.  Not Evil, but dark.  I prefer all things dark; hence the name of this blog, "All Things Dark".  It's a journey that could very well take me the rest of my life to figure out, but it's a journey that I must none the less take.  I just hope that in the process, I am finally able to truly come to a deeper understanding of myself and life as a whole.

Precious Little Time

We've all heard the expression "life is short".  How many of us really sit down and contemplate that?  I know I'm guilty of not thinking about it as much as I should.  When I look at the world around me, I see people in a hurry to go to work, run errands, etc.  It's a sad state of affairs when you really think about it.  Have we forgotten that we live on this planet, this physical realm but for a short period of time?  Hey, I know I have forgotten that many times myself.

It's very easy to get lost in the everyday, mundane ins and outs of the daily grind.  We all have bills to pay, some more than others.  But, what about after work?  Why all the rushing then?  There's only so much that we can accomplish in this world if we don't take a step back and just contemplate why we are really here and what is really important. Is a high paying job worth living a miserable life at home?  Does making more money really afford you more love from your spouse and children?  If it does, than I think you really need to re-evaluate your relationship.  Money isn't everything, as long as you make enough to have a decent life, that should be all that matters.  What really counts is what you make of your life outside work.  With your family and friends.

Think about this; back in the old days...I'm talking about not all that long ago...life was simpler.  By no means do I suggest that it was easier, but it was simpler.  People knew what needed to be done.  They went to work, and when they were done with work, they were at home spending time with their families.  Now, does that mean that family life for everyone was peachy and rosy?  No, of course not.  That depends on the individuals.  But, there wasn't this incessant need to make more money so that they could buy yet another bigger house or a second or third car.  You worked to live and to have a comfortable life.

The irony in this is that I am using a piece of technology that was designed to make life simpler but instead has made life more difficult.  With the advent of the computer, which was supposed to make people's lives a lot easier, a whole new job market place opened up.  People might say, "but that is a good thing...more jobs".  Well, the way I see it is this.  What used to be called a 'Secretary' used to have to type out letter on a typewriter.  Come on, anyone know what that is?  That's right, a TYPEWRITER. Think about this...using a typewriter didn't mean that you typed any slower than you would using a computer, it just meant that if you made a mistake, you most likely had to start all over.  Now, fast forward to the present, if you make a mistake typing out a letter on a computer, all you have to do is hit the backspace and type the word out again, or use spell check.

This cut down the time it potentially took for someone to type out a letter.  Thinking logically, this would mean that you ought to have more time right?  But, realistically, all this means is that now that you can type a document out a lot quicker because of not having to start over, you have more time to work on more documents.  All that is fine and dandy until it got to a point now where the employers saw this as a means to exploit.  Work load doubled, if not tripled, which in turn meant that our stress level now rose up accordingly as well.

Oh, about the more jobs thing.  Yes, the advent of the computer spawned more jobs.  Computer programmers were needed, IT people were needed, computer technicians were needed, and so on.  But, here's the downside...and as the saying goes, "For every action, there is and equal and opposite reaction!"  While a lot of new jobs were created, a lot also became obsolete.  Computers helped automate our society to the point where people lost their jobs and their dignity in some cases.  For the younger generation it wasn't as much of a problem because they grew up with computers and went to school to learn about computers.  But, for the older generation, it meant that they were outed by a machine and now they had to look for work in an ever changing work environment.  That's not an easy pill to swallow.

In all of this craziness, the biggest thing we lost is ourselves.  Our sense of family, our sense of selves.  We spend most of our time today thinking about what else to get and how to get it as opposed to devoting our time in making things work with ourselves and family.  We've distanced ourselves from what is real in exchange for material things that only bring temporary happiness.  Don't get me wrong, I am just as guilty of this myself.  I have grown up with the computer revolution and even went to school to study computer programming, although I didn't finish the course because I got bored.

Another thing that computers have replaced, aside from jobs, is our sense of spirituality.  Now, I don't want to get into a long winded conversation about religion, but regardless of your beliefs, this is still the case.  Most of us have a yearning to feel like we belong to something that is bigger than us, but the problem is that most of us today think that money and material objects are what is needed in order to feel like we are a part of something bigger.  I'm afraid that isn't the case.  Getting that new gadget, as nice and cool as it might be, isn't going to fill that void you feel at the back of your head or in the depths of your heart.  Believe me, I've been down that path before.  What is going to fill that void is some serious soul searching.  Finding out what resonates with you!  Whether that be an established religion, or an off the beaten path belief.  It doesn't and shouldn't really matter, as long as the end result is that you are spiritually fulfilled and happy.  Because believe me, in the end, we are only here for a short time after all!

Memoires from the Dark Side

Walking down a poorly lit street, a nightmare to some, but heaven to me!

As I tread this earthly realm full of despair and misery, I can't help but wonder whether it is all a trick.  Are we being led on by some overseer; a power hungry overlord that plays with our strings like marionettes?  Are we meant to suffer alone in this world and sometimes share our suffering with others?  I can't fathom being in a world where we are led astray so many times and only occasionally shown snippets of hope here and there.

The story of my life is no different than the story of many other people's lives.  We struggle to survive day to day, trying to make ends meet.  But it sometime seems as if there are not "ENDS" for us to meet.  How is it possible that we have created a world where misery and pain are predominant in most people's lives as opposed to happiness and joy?  What confuses me even more is that we are being told that this way of life is the best way of life...repeatedly. 

Often people wonder why anyone would willingly choose the 'Dark Path'; in a lot of cases I would say that because people have become disillusioned with the way things are in this world.  Wars are being fought over things that should rightfully be shared; people are stabbing others in the back just to get a little leverage...and so on.  For me, walking the "Dark Path' has always felt natural, although as I've stated in prior posts, I was in denial for a while. 

Walking this path has afforded me a new perspective on life.  I don't pretend that things are going to be alright anymore, even if sometimes I wish they were.  I don't pretend that people in general are going to be nice to one another, cause historically, that hasn't been the case.  People have killed one another over stupid things such as a belief in a supernatural being, that quite frankly, I don't believe exists; while at the same time condemning violence in other cultures.  Now there's some food for thought!

I no longer wish to partake in a society that continuously lies, cheats and kills.  But, at the same time, I don't have much of an option but to live here and blend in.  However, that being said, it doesn't mean that I have to believe in the beliefs that are espoused.  I just have to bide my time until it's my turn to move on to another realm of existence where hopefully life will be a lot better.  A place where there is no needless violence; a place where we are free to pursue whatever passion we desire, whether physical or spiritual. Until then, I have to unfortunately fit in to some degree and play the good little proverbial sheep so that I can eek out a somewhat manageable standard of living.

Confusion Anyone?

As the mist in my mind swirls ever so violently, I am left to wonder what my next actions are.  I know that I am, and have been for most of my life, a child of darkness, but it seems like inside my head there is a battle raging for supremacy.  I enjoy the night, I like horror movies, I listen to dark music and so on.  With this, one would think that it should be pretty cut and dry, but it isn't.

As I stated in a previous post, I don't consider myself evil, although like many people, do have the capacity to be so if the circumstances are right.  I don't purposely hurt people, in fact, I help whenever I can.  It's just a lifestyle and what I associate myself with that I would deem to be dark.

For many years I basically lied to myself and acted as if I were someone from the light.  This didn't work out too well as it should be obvious with the fact that I created this blog.  I prayed to what I believed was 'God' nightly and when it seemed as if none of my prayers were even remotely answered, I gave up.  I know the argument of "God works in mysterious ways..."  Blah, blah, blah.  All the sayings that people come up with with regards to 'God' not answering your prayers are just ways out.  It's easy to say things like that when prayers aren't answered.  So the question I posed to myself was, "What's the use?"  Why am I wasting my time with this if not even one of my prayers are answered.  Let me guess, it's a test right?

So, now fast forward to today, and I don't pray to anyone, or anything anymore.  That's good right?  Well, the problem with that is that I now have a gaping hole that has been left in me.  So what do I do now?  Do I go back to praying and eventually stop when I realize yet again that none of them will be answered?  Or do I just linger in limbo as I have been doing for the past couple of years, not praying and not knowing what to believe anymore. This is the conundrum I am faced with.  I recognize the fact that I am a darkling (that's what I like to call it) but am still left with a gaping hole even though I thought I finally found what I am.

Recently I have started to meditate again, on an extremely basic and limited level.  As time goes on, I hope that I will be able to progress with my meditation and hopefully find some answers that I am looking for.  And also, I am hoping that this battle that is going on inside my head, this confusion will cease as a result.  Until then, I will have to brave whatever obstacle I come across on my own, without any spiritual guidance.

What is Reality?

When was the last time you asked yourself, "What is reality?" I've often asked myself that question.

The established norm would tell you that what you can touch, taste, see, hear and smell is reality; but, can we see the air?  Can we smell it, or taste it?  I know I know, you can smell stuff in the air, but that is not the air itself.  We also cannot see ultraviolet light, but it's there, and prolonged exposure to it will have a negative impact on us.  So, with that in mind, what is real?

If unseen, unfelt, non-tasting, non-smelling and un-heard things can be real, what is the difference between people that can see "real" people and people that most of us cannot see?  Are they delusional? Or are they living a different kind of reality?  One that the majority of us are not capable of living.

"Normal" society for a long time deemed these people to be mentally unstable, to be polite.  Now it is more socially accepted to be able to see, hear, and even smell and feel unseen presences.  In fact, some people even pay good money to go to a person with such intangible talents so that they can seek help regarding a recently departed loved one.

Personally, I have never been able to live in that alternate reality, or delusion as some people still like to call it.  I admit, there have been times where I thought I felt something out of the norm, but, I'm not sure whether it is something 'out there' or just a figment of my imagination.

It is tough to determine whether people who claim they can see spirits or ghosts or whatever you want to call them, are delusional or have an actual ability to see the unseen.  Because of all the hype in the last few years regarding the paranormal on television, it has allowed people whom would normally be considered delusional, to come forward and be open about their gift.  But this raises a dilemma; what if some of these people who have come forward are actually delusional?  And because now they are more socially accepted, they are not getting help that could potentially save their lives.

I know I'm being a bit dramatic, but think about this.  I have met some people whom I would deem delusional, not gifted, but others praise them for what they can apparently see.  What happens if this new found acceptance of the paranormal; or as I like to call it, 'A FAD'; goes away?  What are these people going to do?  Even if the popularity of the paranormal dwindles, it has set a precedence that has forever changes the way people view this issue.  Now, people are unsure whether someone might be delusional or not, and what's worse, they don't want to be the ones to suggest it.

Is it right to let someone go through life being delusional?  Would you not think that at some point, this delusion might get worse and affect the person's quality of life?  Not to mention the quality of life of that person's family!  It's tough, I know, but we have to come to terms with the fact that in some cases, maybe even most, these people might be delusional and do need to seek help; for their sake and the sake of their family and friends.

I'll tell you, delusion can destroy a family.  I've seen it first hand.  And what's worse is that the person I'm referring to right now thinks he's completely normal, and that everyone else is delusional.  He has used the guise of the paranormal as a means to justify his delusion.  Saying that he sees dark entities and the like.

So, ask yourself again, "What is Reality?"

The Rantings of a Madman

If you think that this world is messed up, you're right.  We are all one people, derived from the same source, yet we despise one another, we kill one another, we torture one another and for what?  Ideals and beliefs that aren't even tangible?  Huh! And people say that schizophrenics are to be locked up.

Let's see, some people are called delusional because they claim to see things that aren't there, and as a result, they are locked up and fed medication.  Others are praised because they see, feel, hear, smell, and taste things that aren't there.  As a result, they get a show on TV going around hunting for ghosts.  So, who's mad here?  Me, or everyone else?  Sometimes I wonder just how messed up this world is still going to become.  Have we reached the peak of madness?  Or just the beginning?

Some societies condone mercy killings, while others prohibit it.  Some societies claim to be peaceful, yet have slaughtered thousands, if not more, because of their belief system.  What gives?  Am I mad here?  How can someone espouse freedom of religion while simultaneously pushing their beliefs onto others?

Maybe I am mad, or, maybe I'm the only sane person here and everyone else is mad.  As time goes on, and the older I get, I see more and more of this hypocrisy around the world.  I try to steer clear of it, because I know that delving too far into it could mean that I might start seeing things that aren't there.  Now that just won't do!

Dark vs Light

For many years now I've pondered whether Light and Dark should represent good or evil.  Always I come back to the same conclusion that neither is good or evil.  But do me a favor and don't tell all the religious zealots that.  Light energy and dark energy are there as tools to be used, and it's up to the individual who uses these forces that dictate whether it is good or evil.

Traditionally, light energy is associated with good.  We have, again, religious zealots to thank for that.  However, if you really sit down and think about it, does it really work that way?  I believe, because of thousands of years of propagation, we have been told to believe that Light is good and Dark is bad.  For our sake, because humans need to have labels, we have done just that, labeled.

But I believe that there is no evil or good that should be associated to these energies.  Both are needed in order for the universe (or whatever it is we live in) to exist. Just like the laws of physics dictate that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, dark energy is needed to maintain balance.  Without it, there would be no balance, and hence, no universe.  This of course applies the other way around as well.

Let me put it this way, is a black magician who donates time and money to charity evil?  Is a priest who molests children good?  Food for thought. One analogy that I like to use frequently when discussing this with friends is as follows:

If you take a hammer and use it to build houses for the homeless, it is viewed as a good thing.  Take that same hammer and use it to bludgeon someone, and that is considered a bad thing. Now ask yourself, what is "Evil" here, the hammer, or the individual?

My point with the above is simple, the hammer is a tool, it can be used for either purpose.  It's the individual who uses it that will dictate whether the tool is used for good or evil.  Light and Dark energy is no different, either can be used for good or evil.  It's up to the practitioner.

We need to move away from the thousands of years of brain washing and change the way we view things. Tools are tolls, bottom line, but how we use those tools is what counts.  I hear it all the time from people of different beliefs, dark is bad mmmmkay.  Sure, and these are the same people who want nothing to do with established religion and their beliefs, yet, they espouse the same crap.  I would've thought that following a different path, away from established religion would've opened their eyes, but, I guess not.

I have always been drawn to the dark and yet I don't consider myself Evil.  I help people if it is within my power to do so, and I would not harm someone just for the sake of doing so or because I might be able to.  Although I will be honest and say that there are times when I wish I did.  But again, that is me, not the energy source.

Hope you enjoyed this piece, if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.

What are we to do with Stupidity

 
Have you ever asked yourself the question of what to do with stupid people? Should we feed them to the sharks as the saying goes?  Maybe lock them up and throw away the key!

I'm by no means a genius myself, but I would also like to think that I'm not stupid either.  So when I go through everyday trying to live my life as best I can and I get tossed into a situation because of a stupid person, I get extremely irritated.  There is absolutely no reason for some of the things that people do, yet they continue to do them.  Not once do these morons stop to think about consequences or, for that matter, do they even take in consideration that what they are about to do is utterly insane.

To those people, I would like to suggest that they bury their heads in the dirt for a couple of days to think about their actions.  Or better yet, lock them up, shackle their hands and legs, and make them understand that what they are doing is completely stupid.

Maybe this is the reason why I have chosen the dark path in life, because there aren't too many people that walk this road and the less people there are, the less likely I am to encounter utterly stupid idiots.  On the other hand, I've always been drawn to the dark and no matter how I tried to hide it, to fit in, or deny it, I would always come back to the dark. 

But, getting back to stupid people.  How do you deal with stupid people?  Do you shun them?  Do you make them pay by exposing their stupidity?  Let me know, you can comment, or email me.

Dorrian Knight.

What Would You Do?

What would you do if someone you knew was delusional?  I am a believer that there are forces in this Universe that we still don't understand or that we have not yet been able to fully harness.  However, if there is someone you knew whom was also a believer but deep down inside you knew that this person went a little too far in the belief, what would you do?

Basically what I am getting at here is that I knew a person who believed pretty much what I believed.  However, fast forward a few years, and things started to change.  I can't say for sure, but I'm almost certain that drugs were involved, and the only reason I say this is because this person's behaviour really became erratic and temper-mental.  He also claimed to start seeing things like dark enteties, which, in and of itself I wouldn't question if that were the only thing.  I know full well that everyone develops at different paces, so it wasn't jealousy that prompted my questioning.  Aside from him seeing his ghastly visitors, he started also blaming everything and everyone else for all that went wrong in his past as well as all that was currently going wrong. This, I'm afraid has more to do with drugs, rather than anything to do with the pursuit of enlightenment.

So I ask the question again, what would you do?  What I did was I distanced myself from this individual, not just because of what I stated above, but also for other personal reasons which I will not get into.  None the less, what I did state above would've been enough for me to distance myself anyway because the last thing I want is to be corrupted by an individual who I deemed to be unstable.

Have any of you experienced something like this?  I would love to hear from you either via a comment, or email me at dorrian.knight@gmail.com

Walking Stick

For many of you who have dabbled in Magic(k), you will be familiar with the tools of the trade.  I being a novice, know somewhat of the tools that are utilized, but am still working towards a better understanding.

I do know that tools such as wands or similar objects are used with magical working, and this past weekend, I went out and was able to find something that I think will be of great use.  I found a nice walking stick, black with a skull for a handle.  Below is the picture, let me know what you think, leave a comment.

How Halloween and The Paranormal Collide!

For those who know me, know that I love to hike. Why? Simple, it’s not only a great way to keep in shape, but to discover things that most would completely overlook. Of course depending on just where you hike that is. Myself, I find wooded trails that have loads of history to them. Maybe harboring some old abandoned trails that haven’t been used in many years. I’m one for discovering abandoned aspects.
So, yes the time of the year also seems to heighten my interest in veering of the main trails. With much of the foliage fallen to the ground, things that very harder to spot seem easier. So, while out there in the midst of deep wooded area, the trees seemingly endless all around, my mood becomes motivated in thinking that at one point in these very areas, was there an ancient people, native or not who worshipped the spirits who might roam these very woods?
Now, those who continue to know me, know that I have investigated the paranormal for close to 20 years now. Something that never strays far from even everyday life. Especially while hiking. I have found many areas along my travels along those trails that would highly suggest some sort of past activities towards some sort of worship. In fact it’s well know that in the 60′s into the 70′s there was heavy Occult activity in areas which I have hiked. One area in particular I call THE DEVIL’S MOUND/RING in which lays an almost perfect circled ring of ancient rocks that has one entrance/exit to it. There are both rumors of it being an old native burial mound, while others have said there was heavy Occult worship on the very same spot. To date I have found little or now evidence that suggests either ever happening. Though, I can tell you, there is an aura of strangeness that surrounds this very area. There trees that grow along the rim of rocks, grow and point inwards to the center of the formation. There is high readings of EMF inside the ring. Also, I have captured strange EVP in and around the formation.
Of course this doesn’t exactly suggests its paranormal in nature, but doesn’t completed discounts it either. More work needs to be done there. Still, this is only but one area along my hikes that bring out my curiosities especially during the weeks that lead up to Halloween.
Just today, while hiking along a route I have never travelled, I discovered an old abandoned road that it seems hadn’t been used in decades. Judging by the amount of growth along around and even on the old road, that much was evident. Though I travelled a fair distance along it, I didn’t follow it too the very end or where it may lead me too. That is very the next hike! Of course the reason I point this out is simple, with the big open fields the road lead me through, thoughts were. What might have happened in these fields years ago? Ancient ceremonies? We’ll see as I look forward to further discovering and around the perfect season!

Halloween is Fast Approaching

Every year I look forward to, what some of my friends refer to as my Religious Holiday, Halloween.

There are a number of people who believe that Halloween brings with it the thinning of the proverbial  veil.  That the gap between our reality and the reality beyond is at its thinnest.

Could it be that there is some legitimacy to this?  If you were to ask people in the Paranormal field, a lot of them would say "YES".  Ghosts and goblins are supposed to be seen and felt more so around this time of year then at any other time.  What if this is the case not because the veil is at its thinnest, but because a lot of people, enough maybe, believe it to be...therefore causing the two sides to intermingle.

Of course, what I am suggesting isn't based on any fact, more of a 'what if' scenario.  But it never the less seems like something we might want to consider.  Maybe conducting a controlled experiment with a group of people in a room and seeing whether something happens if the majority of people believe that something will happen.  Just some food for thought since Halloween is approaching us quickly.  If you have any suggestions, or comments, please feel free to leave a message below.
