Tiny Village is latest victim of the ‘The Hum’

“Now a tiny English village is the latest community to claim to be being hit by the phenomenon known as “the hum”. Residents of Woodland, in County Durham, claim that every night a noise permeates the air similar to the throb of a car engine. It is sometimes so strong that it even shakes the bed of one of the householders. But no matter how hard they look, the community cannot find the source of the problem and, at their wits end, have called in the council to investigate.”

The Hum, as astute readers will recall, is an infrasonic “phenomenon-extraordinaire”, well documented by Gerry Vassilatos in Nocturnal Disturbances and the Infrasonic “HUM”.

Nocturnal Disturbances and the Infrasonic “HUM” But what is the “HUM”, and what are its effects? What causes the HUM, and why has it seemed so very impossible a phenomenon to objectify? Are there means by which to obtain hard evidence of the effect at all? Can we indeed discover those connective touchpoints between our subjective experience of the HUM and its true sources in the external world? Is there a measurable continuum between our innermost experience and the outermost world?
