My brother and his friends went there one time. His friend took a magazine from there and took it to his house. The next night it was raining and his friend was coming home from work. His windsheild wipers stopped working and then his headlights which were new went out. Then when he got home his headlights came on. Also when they were at they hospital leaving they all could feel someone watching them leaving. Then they were going to enter through the front door and they got close to it and it slammed shut right in front of them.
Yeah, you've got it right on how it worked. In the hole would have been a data collector that would have translated the analog signal into digital and passed it on to a computer. I can think of two reasons it didn't have a light: the light might have interfered with transmission, and if this was a secret at the time it was put up they wouldn't want anything to identify it. After it closed down they probably just forgot to put a light on it...
Not to be asking the magician to give away his secrets, but damn Motts, how did you get this shot? Is it a single image, or did you sew two together? It's just so... BIG!
The theory behind reducing machines was that the friction from the belt would help to melt the fat. Of course, even if it did melt fat (it didn't), it was a flawed idea, because once melted the fat had to go somewhere, but it was sealed up in the body. People will try anything to lose weight... At least, anything that isn't eating right & exercising...
I'm with you, Erin. I'd like to just look through this stuff. Not to take anything, just curiosity. I doubt that all this was "just discarded". If some of the stuff was from the 40's, maybe the people who owned it had died a long time ago, and had no family. No one to come and claim it. The more recent stuff could have been left in there as time went by, if no ones family (maybe they had no family, either) came to claim it.
Motts was this a real large room? It looks like they had to start in the back, and fill it towards the door....there's no room to walk! Is the older stuff back further, or is it all lumped together, as if it was put there over time...?
