I totally have this, big time. Whenever I try to explain it to someone though they think im either on drugs, crazy, or full of shit.

Sound → color synesthesia

According to Richard Cytowic, sound → color synesthesia, or chromesthesia is "something like fireworks": voice, music, and assorted environmental sounds such as clattering dishes or dog barks trigger color and firework shapes that arise, move around, and then fade when the sound ends.[3] For some, the stimulus type is limited (e.g., music only, or even just a specific musical key); for others, a wide variety of sounds triggers synesthesia.

Sound often changes the perceived hue, brightness, scintillation, and directional movement. Some individuals see music on a "screen" in front of their faces. Deni Simon, for whom music produces waving lines "like oscilloscope configurations – lines moving in color, often metallic with height, width and, most importantly, depth. My favorite music has lines that extend horizontally beyond the 'screen' area."[3]

Individuals rarely agree on what color a given sound is (composers Liszt and Rimsky-Korsakov famously disagreed on the colors of music keys)[citation needed]; however, synesthetes show the same trends as non-synesthetes do. For example, both groups say that loud tones are brighter than soft tones, and that lower tones are darker than higher tones. Synaesthetes nevertheless choose more precise colours than non-synesthetes and are more consistent in their choice of colours given a set of sounds of varying pitch, timbre and composition.[29]

There it is, listening to music is like being inside a fucking rainbow for me. First time I really realized it was listening to eminems sing for the moment, the deep bass, cellos and harpiscords just totally drown me in this deep blue color, I could see it, hear it and feel it, fucking strange but so awesome.

With five people now in the basement, Pierre told Andrews to get something from out of their van. Andrews returned with a bottle in a brown paper bag, from which Pierre poured a cup of blue liquid. Pierre ordered Orren to administer the liquid to the other hostages, but he refused, and was bound, gagged and left face-down on the basement floor.

Pierre and Andrews then propped each of the victims into sitting positions and forced them to drink the liquid, telling them it was vodka laced with sleeping pills. Rather, it was liquid Drano. The moment it touched the hostages' lips, enormous blisters rose, and it began to burn their tongues and throats and peel away the flesh around their mouths. Ansley, still begging for her life, was forced to drink the drain cleaner too, although she was reported (by Orren Walker) to have coughed less than the other victims. Pierre and Andrews tried to duct-tape the hostages' mouths shut to hold quantities of drain cleaner in and to silence their screams, but pus oozing from the blisters prevented the adhesive from sticking. Orren Walker was the last to be given the drain cleaner, but seeing what was happening to the other hostages, he allowed it to pour out of his mouth and then faked the convulsions and screams of his son and fellow hostages.

Pierre became angry because the deaths were taking too long and were too loud and messy, so he shot both Carol and Cortney Naisbitt in the backs of their heads. Pierre then shot at Orren Walker but missed. He then fatally shot Stanley before again shooting at Orren, this time grazing the back of his head.

Pierre then took Ansley to the far corner of the basement, forced her at gunpoint to remove her clothes, then repeatedly and brutally raped her, after telling Andrews to clear out for 30 minutes. When he was done, he allowed her to use the bathroom while he watched, then dragged her, still naked, back to the other hostages, threw her on her face, and fatally shot her in the back of the head.[6]

Andrews and Pierre noted that Orren was still alive, so Pierre mounted him, wrapped a wire around his throat, and tried to strangle him. When this failed, Pierre and Andrews inserted a ballpoint pen into Orren's ear, and Pierre stomped it until it punctured his eardrum, broke, and exited the side of his throat. Pierre and Andrews then went upstairs, finished loading equipment into their van, and departed.

holy shit thats fucking awesome

This is creepy..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racetrack_Playa

Read the part about the "sailing stones".

The sailing stones are a geological phenomenon found in the Racetrack. The stones slowly move across the surface of the playa, leaving a track as they go, without human or animal intervention. They have never been seen or filmed in motion. Racetrack stones only move once every two or three years and most tracks last for three or four years. Stones with rough bottoms leave straight striated tracks while those with smooth bottoms wander.

The sailing stones are most likely moved by strong winter winds, reaching 90 mph, once it has rained enough to fill the playa with just enough water to make the clay slippery. The prevailing southwest winds across Racetrack playa blow to northeast. Most of the rock trails are parallel to this direction, lending support to this hypothesis.[2][3]

An alternate hypothesis builds upon the first. As rain water accumulates, strong winds blow thin sheets of water quickly over the relatively flat surface of the playa. A layer of ice forms on the surface as night temperatures fall below freezing. Wind then drives these floating ice sheets, their aggregate inertia and large area providing the necessary force required to move the larger stones. Rock trails would again remain parallel to the southwest winds. According to investigator Brian Dunning, "Solid ice, moving with the surface of the lake and with the inertia of a whole surrounding ice sheet, would have no trouble pushing a rock along the slick muddy floor."[4]

A more recent theory[5] is that ice collars form around rocks and when the local water level rises, the rocks are buoyantly floated off the soft bed. The minimal friction allows the rocks to be moved by arbitrarily light winds.[6]

From a different site, a guys account of a visit there.

I decided to head out to "The Devil's Racetrack" since I was in the neighborhood. If you aren't familiar with the place, rocks move and leave trails across a dry lake bed. People say that when it rains that the mud gets slick and the wind blows the rocks. No one has ever witnessed this phenomenon and it's never been captured on film. I saw things that make me doubt that explanation.

Here's some racing rocks and the almost perfectly straight trails behind.


The rocks aren't very fast. My dogs had no problem catching one. It's odd that they were both drawn to the rocks. They sensed something strange. BabyGirl pretty much stalked the rock.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the strangest things is the number of rocks that are missing. These dead-ended trails are over a mile from the parking area and I seriously doubt that someone carried a big rock off as a souvenir. As you can see...these missing rocks were LARGE.


And what about this? Was that rock caught in a dust devil?


Look at the smaller rock's trail...it's pretty straight. How could the wind have moved the larger rock in the opposite direction without the smaller rock being affected Look at the larger rock's trail. What made it change direction? Peer pressure?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Parnia#AWARE_study

Since September 2008, he and his colleagues are conducting the AWARE study (AWAreness during REsuscitation).[8] A study launched by the Human Consciousness ProjectSM, an international collaboration of scientists, physicians and nurses studying patients surviving cardiac arrests who report a near-death experience (NDE).

Twenty-five participating hospitals across Europe and North America[9] examine reports of patients after their clinical death, of whom a small portion is expected to have an out-of-body experience (OBE) with physical perceptions of their surroundings.

One major objective of the AWARE study is to test whether the perceptions reported by these patients are veridical (verified as accurate). The method is to place a visual target near the ceiling where it is only visible by someone reading it from above. Patients are then asked whether they could recall the image placed on the platform.
