The Congress Theater – Top Ten List of Things We Learned

10. The Spalding Inn sells t-shirts, too.

9. Jay can hit a stall door in a bathroom and make it sound 'scary'.

8. Kristyn Gartland should never, ever wear sleeveless shirts.

7. Dylan, the building manager, was HOT!

6. The high EMF 'theory' is now being stated as fact.

5. Moving around causes changes in barometric pressure.

4. Britt is obviously an expert on both projection operation and boilers.

3. Paranormal orbs are bright in the center; debris orbs are a 'reflecting' brightness.

2. Is there an area of Chicago in which the Mob DIDN'T meet???

And, the number one thing we learned….

1. "Being still enhances the natural ability to observe"

Hey Nosfer, you're one post away from 700!!

Yeah they went on to spew the EMF turns you into a frothing at the mouth, brains eating mindless zombie thing again. Except this time there was an audible cue of 60 Hz buzzing from the switch panel, which Jason could feel in his feet. They mis-interpreted this to be a direct effect from EM fields rather than from low frequency audio… the name of which just escapes me now. Must be all those high EMF fields I expose myself to all the time affecting my memory. 

Brains…. must eat more brains.

Edit, I was thinking of infrasound, although I just learned this only applies to 20 Hertz and less.

Learjet, it is DEFINITELY the EMF fields…would you like an aspirin?

"Did anyone else fall asleep during the second half of GH and wake up watching DT and wondering why they were climbing around some ruins"

That was me.

( Now I'm gonna have to watch 'em all over again sometime today. I'll try not to fall asleep this time)

If you can actually see something, especially repeatedly, why wouldn't a camera pick it up too? It doesn't make sense to me. The most exciting idea I had during the show was that I would like to climb up the catwalk area where all the lights went out, and that spiral staircase! WoW!  I noticed that J&G seem to know a lot about electricity. That must be common plumber knowledge.
Oh my goodness! The other day at work I had three of the five light bulbs go out at once! There's a ghost at my job! 

Interesting link, phillyk…so, out of all the notoriously haunted locations in Chicago, they choose a location that is so steeped in paranormal activity, even local ghost hunters have never heard about it!

On a totally childish side note, I had to laugh when I read the caption of the picture they had of TAPS. They identified Tango as "Brian Harnois".  The article also states that Houdini performed at the theater in the '30's…kind of strange considering he died October 31, 1926. Great fact checkers they have there at the Sun-Times!

Yeah the Sun TImes sure got it wrong when they said Tango was Brian Harnois.  I first read the caption under the picture and thought "Brian???"  What in the heck is Brian doing in that photo, then I saw it was Tango.  And then they have the pictures of the 2 local ghost hunters who never heard about the supposed hauntings at the Congress but the Times saying they're featured in the episode…they werent in the episode and why would they be since they had never heard of anything happening there.  Sun Times sure didnt get its facts straight..
