Answer 2

I love ghost!!!!!

The appearance of a ghostly figure in the mirror could be explained quite easily for the more complex rituals, for example spinning around whilst summoning Bloody Mary in front of a mirror lit by candles. The combination of dizziness, rapid movement and flickering lighting could easily fool the eye into seeing someone, especially when the idea has already been implanted. The participant may think that they have seen a spirit, it is, however, most likely a trick of the eye brought upon by the combination of darkness and fear.

Answer 3

In reference to your Charles Manson inquiry, the term had special significance to him as relating to an elaborate prophecy of a coming race war. He got the name from the song by the Beatles on their white album.



They got the name from a ride in the UK.
