At night it is dark or light. Most of us relate night time to sleeping, and the ability to keep the eyes shut with no interfering factors. The lights would be one of them, and another would be the ghosts. Sunshine, even if it came through window blinds, can distract sensitive people who are not used to it. The ghosts don’t need light as many of them do not even have eyes connected to the central nervous system. The sort of ghosts traditionally carry their head under the arm. According to experience, they can interfere with sleeping too. In Nordic countries, birds habitually roar in the trees all night long in summer. This may increase the distress, initiated by luminous nights. On the other hand, the incidence of ghosts seems to be higher when darkness is a dominating factor. Or is it possible that the ghosts do not like the company of singing birds, and the light is solely a coinciding factor? Traditionally, ghosts, vampires and zombies are all called “undead”. However, according to modern taxonomic classification, the ghosts are not “undead”, but just “dead”. They don’t fear daylight as vampires and zombies do, and there is some evidence that the ghosts may even like it. I’m referring to the celebrated report Ghosts by Daylight, by Dr Janine di Giovanni (2011). The ghosts which appear in clear daylight may, because of continuous exposure to bird song in Nordic countries, have developed tolerance to it.
Marked regional differences appear between the Nordic countries and the more southern ones. It seems that continuous sunlight in summer has made the Nordic populations somewhat immune to it and the ghosts. For example, in Helsinki, the Capital of Finland, you can see figures with ghostly appearance wondering the streets with plastic bags full of tinkling chains or shackles. Hardly anyone pays attention to them. Whereas, in Central and East European countries people are inclined to suffer from medically recognized “light-and-birds-no-ghosts” and “no-light-and-ghosts” disorders. The symptoms of the both are alike, and resemble those of Bird Flu, insomnia and optical illusions as additions. The previous have their highest expression when visiting the north, and the latter at home where no midnight sun is available. Also, Central European visitors pay substantial attention to the wandering restless souls in the streets of Scandinavia. The only known effective treatment consists of sleeping in a darkened Faraday Cage and earplugs. The condition is seldom fatal. The latest edition of The International Dictionary of Uncommon Disorders classifies the two syndromes under one name, “Ghost Flu”.
Mrs Gabriele Albertini, the Chairperson of the European Parliament Standing Committee “Foreign and Alien Affairs”, has recently considered earmarking 2.85 million Euros for fostering new research projects on: “Unidentified Foreign Flu Particles in EU.” As quite clearly the Ghost Flu falls into this category, it can be assumed that germinating projects will soon have more visibility in the media.
For national security reasons, an unnamed team in the United States is carrying out a government funded study on the so-called "Higgs bosons" or "God Particles”. The US research “Mecca” on the right.
Higgs boson is a necessary, but still not observed, requirement of the so-called Higgs mechanism. Its existence could explain how most of the known elementary particles obtain their mass. As the origin of the effective mass of ghosts is still not clear, this research may also explain some paranormal phenomena. In the San Francisco Bay, 1.5 miles offshore California, there is the well-known “Mecca” of the modern research in this field. The buildings on this tiny island are nowadays exploited by researchers from all over the world. During the “Cold War” the place was restricted only for domestic use. Also, at the east coast, only about 30 miles north of New York City, there is a research centre allegedly for studying hypothetical endoplasmic disarray patterns in avifauna. The name of this institute "Sing Sing" refers to the communication method of birds. Still today, over 2,000 researchers work there, and the place is famous for its high standards of security.
Perhaps the most secretive Higgs related area is the Higgs' Island in the Bermuda Triangle. No research data is available, or has disappeared in undisclosed circumstances.
Higgs Bosom Birds, a.k.a. Great Tits (Parus Major) presumably have little resemblance to Higgs boson that perhaps is somewhere on the right. This bird has a wide mid-line ventral stripe, called cleavage.
One of the common basic hypotheses is:”The birds that sing in a light environment, and the ghosts which don’t, do not get along with each other.” A logical question that will follow is: “How do the birds and the ghosts actually pull it off?” According to Brumm H. (Behav Ecol Sociobiol 2009:63;1157-1165), maximum song levels of male nightingales vary from about 75 decibel (dB) to over 90dB, which equals working in a tractor cabin (National AG Safety Database 04/2002). After working 24/7 all through the Nordic summer, many birds have sore throat when starting their annual moving rigmarole to Africa or some other quiet place. Whatever they do in winter must be relaxing, and they don’t have to sing at night. Because the nights down there are dark all through the year, the ghosts prevail as the birds shut up. Considering the high dB levels of bird song this is very logical. In autumn, the ghosts start taking over the nights in the north too. However, there is a transition period when the expression of the both parties is more than obvious.
There are reports of incidents where birds and ghosts have mixed their genetic pools. In this respect, Higgs Bosom Birds are under strict surveillance. The end product, on the right, has been named “Sing Sing”, according to a famous research centre in the USA.
However, ghost genetics is generally not very well understood. Also, whether these new “things” are nocturnal or not, and whether they are able to sing round-music alone, is still unknown. At least the ghostly genes should be able to recognize the canon singing of choral music, commonly performed in old castles. Permanent use of eye glasses indicates poor adaptation to twilight, and an effort to alleviate optical nerve irritation. With no financial support from Mrs Albertini’s European Parliament Committee, in 2009, Dr Scott Crocker published a detailed report about extinct birds in Arkansas, The Ghostbird. Is it possible that the interface between the birds and the ghost is expanding? Is there a chance that the peoples of Central European and African countries will in future have to tolerate “boast singing” (i.e. singing of or by bird-ghosts) also those nights when all football fans are watching Heartbeat on TV?
Military use of the ghostbirds has most likely been widely known for centuries. Although there is no reliable data of practical applications, obvious clues are visible to anyone interested in the history. At least the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Emperor of the House of Habsburg, the Spanish Empire, the Austrian Empire, the Russian Empire and the most countries of the Balkan Peninsula had a double-headed eagle as the symbol of power. There is a big chance that during the Cold War the Americans tried to reach the same level of knowledge at the premises of the New York State institute.
The Coat of Arms of the modern Russian Republic clearly reveals the imperialistic nature of this line of research.
In the Central European countries, numerous castles, churches and other dim venues of revival meetings provide excellent circumstances for recording unusual occurrences. On the right, a driveway to the front door of The Old Town Hall in Geneva, Switzerland. This incline was reserved for horsemen to easily access a local “watering hole” with no need to dismount. Nowadays the locals call it “the word’s first drive-in”. Still today, after closing time at night, you can hear their desperate galloping and cries of agony behind the closed door. However, no sneezing sounds have been reported.
In Britain, numerous castles and old buildings boast about ghosts and unexplained sightings. It means that the exposure to encounters with the ghosts may be higher in Britain than the European average is. In the past, mutant strains of influenza and today Bird Flu are considered a severe threat to the national health. The worst influenza pandemic in recorded history took place in 1918-1919. At least 40 million, but quite likely closer to 100 million deaths worldwide were attributed. According to fresh estimates, up to 75,000 people could perish alone in Britain during a sudden Bird Flu epidemic. Is there a chance that some of these figures also cover falsely diagnosed Ghost Flu cases? Government bodies in some Asian countries, the origin of Bird Flu, have already suggested that a connection between these two may exist. Moreover, we must not forget that an English scientist Michael Faraday invented the Faraday Cage in 1836, and the worst influenza years in the 1800's were 1833, 1836, 1847 and 1889. Coincidences do not exist in the real world.
Conclusions: The traditional fear of the ghosts is more common in the regions where dark nights create favourable circumstances for the mind disturbing experiences. Daytime ghosts do not appear to be as frightening, and people get used to them. Birds may by their singing aggravate sleeplessness, but also provide a useful tool for expelling unfavourable expressions of paranormal activity. Bird song may restore sensitive individuals’ mental balance by reminding of worldly realities. Faraday Cage may make a valuable experimental tool in creating ghost free zones.
