The Stone Tape

by Phil

The Stone Tape theory is the speculation that ghosts and hauntings are analogous to tape recordings, and that mental impressions during emotional or traumatic events can be projected in the form of energy, "recorded" onto rocks and other items and "replayed" under certain conditions. I’m interested in the every day events. Those vernacular experiences. Life going on as normal. I am the stone tape that records these moments. I find it very calming to listen back and remember the nuances of the moment. Feel free to eves-drop on the past and imagine what caused all of those little sounds.

    Saturday 8th July 2023, just after teatime. A long recording that I can curl up and read a book to. Recorded in my increasingly leaky shed, it’s a storm of many parts.
