The whole tape-loop concept just doesn't sit right with me. Yet so many of us accept this as one major type of haunting. Nowhere in nature do things keep repeating identically while being impervious to outside forces. Yes, the Earth rotates, and life operates in cycles, but isn't it all dependent on a delicate ecological balance to maintain its rhythm? Do you think the maintenance of battlefields and castles like the Tower of London is all that is required to keep the loops playing?
What do you think of the theory that while some spirits get stuck in our space, other spirits get stuck in time? Could the so-called residual hauntings be actual conscious spirits but in their own repetitive hell? Could the Gettysburg ghosts be teaming up to replay their nightmare like war veteran catatonics stuck in their own post-traumatic stress? Only these people died before they could recover. Just a thought. I'd love to know what you think.
