Webster's New World College Dictionary says:
Anomalies- Seeming to be inconsistent, irregular arrangement, abnormal.
I dedicate this blog to a wonderful human being, who helped me understand myself better, and, of course she gave me really good feed-back on my children's story. Her name is Amanda Chesworth. She is an anthropologist from the CSICOP organization, in the educational department at The Center for Inquiry in Amherst, New York.
I was told a story of a man who lived in an apartment complex and in his bedroom he had an expensive glass teddy bear on his dresser. This bear was full of quarters or something. Anyway, every week at a certain time of day, the bear would move slowly and silently across the dresser to the other side. This man could have said that this was a ghost for sure. He didn't.
Instead of being frozen by fear, he explored a different option. He was determined to find out what was causing this problem.
He found out that the tenant above his apartment was doing her washing in a silent washing machine that was stealthily vibrating the whole apartment.
What the CSICOP organization and I want you to know that anomalies happen. Please don't diagnose them yourself. Don't call a supernatural specialist or ghost buster. They just cause more fear.
Get a real scientist from CSICOP. You can contact them over the internet.
What you could be experiencing could also be a hallucination. I found I was hearing a humming sound like an engine in my ears. My husband couldn't hear it. He seemed to be losing his hearing anyway. I tried to tape record the noise I was hearing. I got nothing. I saw an ear doctor and he cleared it up for me. I was told it was the sound of blood rushing through my ears, like when I've drunk too much caffeine or if I'm stressed out, or both.
So, please, scientists aren't bad people. More people hate the police, have you ever heard of a scientist beating someone up? or being a racist? Or planting evidence? Or blatantly lying?
So if you see an anomaly please show a skeptic or someone whose impartial.
An anomaly could be a "Ghost", "UFO", "Big foot", or anything else people make up to either create a fear or money.
