The stone tapes

So, did our acestors know that stones held the memory 

of past lives, deep within them, 

or had they experienced the manifestations

 of living beings out of matter?

It's hard, in the case of a well attested ghost 

to quite be sure that a grey lady is 

Anne Boleyn, just because she walks where Anne Boleyn

once walked. A legend builds up around a haunting, 

but you don't know absolutely that the person

behind the apparition is the one, 

that it's popularly alleged to be.

I wonder about attributions, which are fixed by some claim 

made by a visiting medium, without any authentication at all, 

and probably no hope at verification. They

claim, standing in a haunted warehouse, that it's the spirit 

of a foreman named Harry.

Well, maybe it is or isn't but the name sticks

. Then everybody repeats it.

Under these conditions, it's more likely the working of the collective

consciousness, which is responsible.

The point of saying that is that the place that these

 visions come from, then, is our own minds picking up 

perhaps on the material produced by some more universal mind, 

or place, where those memories dwell.

Too abstract?  Isn't that what Charles Fort was hinting at?

A deep well of memories, a universal store of images
and experiences.
