But "why" is not a not a
good question if you require an answer fully satifactory for YOUR
mind.
Haven't you met people who
used to do what you'd consider as being foolish things ?
And would you deny their being real
just because they sound foolish ?
"Fair is
fool and fool is fair"
Shakespeare's witches certainly
used to dwell in places where strange lights can be seen...
At "Col de Vence" besides its strange lights, in a particular place there is
an odd noise (occuring at night) that nothing can explain :
No clouds, no wind, no houses nobody but a few of us - and this strange
noise comes along above your heads, remains there a while and then goes
away before vanishing in the distance. I didn't beleive what I was told
about that poise before hearing it myself and since I've heard it I had to
change all my conceptions about what's real or not.
So long
