Poltergeists punish Britain

by hakmao, 27 February 2008

[A] student living in Leicester, said she was “absolutely petrified” when her block of flats began shaking around her.

“The front of my chest of drawers fell out and my candles fell on the floor and broke. I thought it was a ghost.”

Well you would, wouldn’t you? Incredibly, it wasn’t.

    I was wondering what might rise in the toilet bowl of CIF.

    Like:

    Earthquake symptomatic of wider problems: Government have failed to address concerns about the cause of the earthquakes. While the shifting of tectonic plates seems like a plausible mechanism, it is all too convenient. The quake raises legitimate concerns about the handling of other public concerns, such as the London Bombings, the legal status of the Iraq war and the War on Terror.

    Earthquake should make us question our materialistic ways: As I sat in my new DFS leather sofa playing Ratchet and Clank on my new HD television, all on 0% finance, I realised a disturbing truth. My digital SLR fell from the mantelpiece, smashing my dusty unused aromatherapy oil burner; it seemed like a metaphor for the lack of spirituality in our modern life.

    Earthquake and global warming: While the earthquake is not linked to global warming, it is a warning to us all about our precarious position in the natural world.

    On the Times article you linked to — the comments bit…

    “I was fast asleep in my bed. I was woken by a loud bang and my bed shook. I thought a huge bird, maybe an owl had hit my bedroom window. It was very frightening.

    Some people should just keep their traps shut.

    It was the Jews with a micronuke.

    Mossad defrosted my dog and formatted my fridge.

    Joe’s close.

    I head that several thousand Jews didn’t show up for work that morning.

    I taught courses in Pickering. Owls hitting windows are the most exciting things that have ever happened. Nice place mind.

    Actually, my second thought after earthquake was poltergeist. Kept the light on for a bit just in case.

    Once, I was in the bath when some sample shampoo sachets fell off a shelf by themselves. Since then, I have not felt safe in my own home.
