I stumbled in off the 'street' of the boards in general into this thread yesterday and after having a somewhat weird night after commenting on the alien drones, I was in somewhat of a more paranoid nature and my mind was overclocked with weirdness, but here's my observations.

1. When I play this, I get the 'chill', I don't pretend to be psychic, but IMO a lot of what we don't know is just that we don't know about it. Things like inter-dimensional portways and the like could well be grounded in science if we understood them and science believed.

I was watching something the other day and my other half said "why do the lights go out when he goes weird?". To which I replied about the whole electromagnetic spectrum and how it can interact, why do we need to think this is any different?

It is my feverent belief that there are 'things' that are as we would class them, 'not of this world', but are either actually acutely a part of it, or are from somewhere else where our science doesn't exist. That would explain 'magick' and 'science' and Clarke's magick=technology (I'm paraphrasing) speech.

I think children, because of the lack of conditioning, or perhaps some natural occurance (babies in particular with their half closed skull seem to be perceptible to weirdness) can sense and see things we cannot. Its like people who are actually adult, but mentally children seem to be more attuned to the weird side of the scale, which leads me to believe its mostly mental conditioning, either for our own safety (look at how some people with 'gifts' go nuts trying to live normally) or because we just don't want to believe.

Every time I grab the cat and park her infront of the monitor and play this she can't get away quick enough, its like she's on a bungee cord that's snapped tight, its weird and again, animals are like children in that we can't condition them NOT to see, its just a natural occurance for them.

Sorry to waffle, but yes, while the 'witch' could be a bush to us, it might not be to Mitch. Who are we to know if the witch is 'cloaked' to adult eyes and she may be stood near the bush. What would be interesting is:

1. A sound engineer edit this and try and seperate out the channels to reduce the music and see if we can find some weird frequencies.
2. A correlation of where the child looks - if he keeps looking at or near the same spot through the video (f.e. if he's looking out of the vehicle at the start and keeps looking, probably just his imagination, if he turns in the seat to look out the back, then there's something we can't see but he can and is trying to keep his eye on it).

I definitely think he saw something, and he says she's on a broom - well, if we assume what they do look likes magick, whats to say the reverse isn't true? There are people on remote islands who think the GIs were gods for dropping food parcels on their island accidentally. What is she wants the 'machine' is meant as the vehicle, not the music? She wants to trade her broom, which might not work in this world for a vehicle that seemingly does, seems logical to me.

Have you ever thought of going back there? It might be an interesting experience, but the problem is, of course, your kid is probably grown out of it by now ('it' leaves at about the start of puberty, so if he's under 10 MAYBE if not, well we'd need to find another participant).

To me, with some of the weird stuff I've seen, even with a science orientated mind, this is totally believeable.
