I think that there was some weird movie, 'The Ring', which I saw only parts of, that I think had something to do with that...

I know that there was a lady years ago, who claimed that her son disappeared, because he was playing Dungeons and Dragons, and some spirit popped up out of the floor in a whoosh of smoke, and dragged her son down to hell...that was her excuse for why the boy was suddenly missing....I never did hear any followup on that story, but judging from the way this lady was acting on TV,, most folks figured her teen-aged son just could not take any more of her ranting, and ran away from home...I have often wondered about that, and if this boy was ever found...I hate it, when I cannot find a followup to these weird stories...

If someone told me that story I might think he got whooshed down to the basement and buried under the floor!

I saw "The Ring." It was more about an evil video tape. If you watched the tape, the ghost came and got you. The movie I was thinking about was called "White Noise" and was about people contacting the dead by turning the TV to an unused channel and listening to static to hear voices. The idea is ghosts can talk over radio signals, so if you listen hard enough to static, you'll hear words. Our brains are excellent at finding patterns. So good, in fact, that sometimes we'll perceive patterns when there aren't any. Examples might be clouds that look like animals, an image of the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich, a potato that looks like Elvis, or hearing ghosts talk through the TV or radio.
