A deafening boom.

[Memphremagog]

It seems that this phenomenon is not a banshee since many people claim to hear it regardless of their ancestral origins. If there are no deaths immediately following these boomings then it would preclude the supernatural Irish death messenger being the source. But then one must continue to ask: What are these strange boomings?

I've yet to find anybody that can tell me anything... I only know that it travels, it's too infrequent to record, it happens usually at night, but occasionally during the day, and it's not enough to shake the place (one of many reasons I'm doubting sonic boom -- I've experienced sonic boom in Florida and this is nothing like that)... and the two places in columbus that I've known it to happen are near woody areas with a creek that have a haunted history.

I agree that it's probably not a Banshee unless she got bored and is now coming for every deer or insect that keels over now...

No, it doesn't happen that frequent. But it's been known to happen once a week at the most. Never in the same place.

easter greetings to you all,Hi frumi,could it be that the booming noises in your area come from trains,either above ground or underground?,i ask this as there is a train station about 3/4 of a mile away from where i live,and quite often in the night trains passing through do often make a series of rumbling & booming noises that travel across a wide area.just a thought,regards,oak carver.

[FrumiousBoojum]

There are no underground trains around here... and there is a train a couple miles down the road that I can hear from here, but that wouldn't cause a rather elevated, nearby boom accompanied with a light, would it?

[Memphremagog]

I didn't pick up on the light you just mentioned earlier on. Perhaps that should be considered. What colour is the light and how intense is it? Does it seem to pulsate with the rhythm of the booming sound? Is it white or some other colour, or does it vary from time to time? Does its intensity and brightness increase with the loudness of the booming sound or not? Does this booming sound and light also cause all other animals like squirrels or birds to all of a sudden go silent? Are there other additional phenomena accompanying these lights and sounds, such as a haze or fog?

Some people might think that an accompanying light could be St. Elmo's Fire. Has anyone around the Hibernia neighbourhood ever reported St. Elmo's Fire?

The reason I ask all these seemingly inane questions is because of the following ( I quote the great British sleuth Sherlock Holmes) WHEN YOU HAVE ELIMINATED THE IMPOSSIBLE, THEN WHATEVER REMAINS, HOWEVER IMPROBABLE, THEREFORE MUST BE THE TRUTH! By eliminating what it definitely is not may yield up the revelation as to what it truly is.

Well said watson!,sorry i mean memph.when you ask wether the light pulsates in time to the booming,or wether the animals go silent,what are you alluding to old buddy?,do you have something in mind?regards,oak carver.

[Memphremagog]

Yes Oakie I do! Oft times when one hears of pulsating lights it is associated with a mechanical device like one of the so-called "flying saucers" regardless whether it is of extra-terrestrial or earthly origin. Also if the phenemenon creating the sound has a heartbeat the pulsating light might be in relation to that.

As far as making the animals go silent that may refer to a primary source of pure raw and unadulterated evil like existed once in Highgate Cemetery. Of course even when one does something like discharging a rifle or shotgun that in itself will silence the animals for awhile, but what I mean is something that silences them even BEFORE it becomes audible to human ears! That is what seems to happen in cases of the supernatural.

Animals have a keen sense of knowing when something is about to go all wrong. The birds in Highgate and the orangutans in the region of the recent south sea earthquake and tsunami sensed inpending danger and got out of there before it hit, especially in the case of the tsunami, while the humans were left to fend for themselves and scurry about in absolute confusion when saw the huge wave approaching! Whether the things transpiring in Hibernia, Ohio are supernatural or not the animals may sense impending danger and clam up or go away for awhile to escape.

I asked about a haze or fog accompanying these strange lights and boomings. The vampire has traditionally been attributed the power of localized weather control like a deep fog or haze so as to better move about without easy detection.

I could ask further what was the local weather was like before these booming sounds and lights manifested themselves. Was it stormy and blustery or calm? Was it hot and humid or dry and clear? Does it seem to occur in spring, summer, autumn, or winter the most? Or does the season not make any difference? Does it take place mostly in the day or night, and if in the day does the light still seem to also appear?

The most glaring question not asked would be: are there any weird and unexplained worrisome goings-on like exsanguinations of animals (or humans)? Are there Satanists and occultists known to be active in the neithbourhood? One could ask a plethora of questions concerning the odd things taking place in Hibernia and so perhaps one should. PAX.

Well memph.you may have a few points there concerning pulsating lights & deep booms,i agree with you entirely about the animals suddenly going silent,ive experienced that lots of times in woodland,and found its usually due to something or someone being noticed by the animals on entering the woods.A very old aunt of mine was a headmistress deep in the outback of australia,and i remember when she wrote me mentioning how sometimes a very sudden and spooky silence would come over the animals and birds for a period,but no-one could give a reason,they obviously sense something we do not.regards,oak carver.

[FrumiousBoojum]

The light is very white... no pulsating or anything. Think of it like a camera flash -- just one flash with the boom and it's done.

I've only been outside once when I've actually seen the light, the other times it's been seen out of a window.

So far, I've only seen it or heard it when the weather's been pretty nice -- no fog, no rain.

Time of day and time of year seem to have no effect.

I've not really paid attention to conditions before it happens yet. It happens so sporadically that it's hard to do anything. There has definately been an odd calm afterwards.

Haven't heard of St. Elmo's Fire anywhere around here...

Terve my freinds.


In finland we have a saying which i am trying to translate for you .

In the bowels of the earth all you will be hearing is the devils farting and no wind of angels.

In english i am thinking that it sort of means that nothing good lives in holes and caves or tombs .

We people from helsinki and rovaniemi call the phenomena happening the devils wind of farting.

Maybe it is being so true across the planet we live on.

I am now studying again after easter and found highgate cemetary a good walk and not scary or evil it is very birdy with trees and relaxing time for me.

In bulgaria,the OBUR is a gluttonous blood-drinker,it can be enticed with excrement or rich food and has the ability to move objects from a distance and (creates loud noises).Maybe its a far cry from what frumy is experiencing in his home town,but that last bit about creating loud noises does sound familiar,especially in the highgate case,dont you agree?,regards,oak carver.
