| ‘Ghost factory’ shut for inspection |
| 2008-06-02 |
| Confusion continued to prevail regarding the fainting of 30 employees of a factory in SITE on Saturday. The authorities concerned have closed the factory (S.M. Denim) for one week for inspection to acertain the cause. However, with a cause yet to be attributed to the incident, the ‘debate’ about whether the fainting was a result of “ghosts” or the release of poisonous gases inside the stitching department, raged on. Ostensibly in an attempt to assuage both sides of the debate, scientific and spiritual, the inspection team will consist of both a team of the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) and Ulema. The mysterious fainting of 30 employees of the factory has led to widespread speculations. Many workers of the factory are of the opinion that there are some “ghosts” present on the premises of the industrial unit, that were behind the fainting of these employees. They believe that the factory used to be the exclusive abode of these ghosts, who were angered by the presence of human beings. Scientific experts, however, scoff at such an explanation, stating that they believed that the cause was the sudden release of chemicals used in the factory. They added that the factory, since its inception, had never reported any such type of incident before a week ago, when workers had started fainting from time to time. This, they said, had caused fear and dismay among the workers in the factory. Being of simpler nature, a majority of them believe that a supernatural cause is behind the fainting. The incident, say experts, should be thoroughly investigated to lay to rest any such speculation. Sources said that the factory had been sealed by the authorities concerned as they had suspicions regarding the presence of poisonous gases inside the premises of the department on the 3rd floor in the stitching department. |

| #6 I have had some little disease last week, I would be dizzy unexpectedly, and have to sit down, I said nothing and really thought nothing of it. But now My wife is complaining of sudden dizzy spells, so whatever it is, it's comunnicable. Since I didn't say anything, it's NOT hysteria, it's some litle something, but very real. Sounds much like what the workers reported, a bit stronger. (I've always shrugged off any illness quickly, and get hit more lightly than other folks I've talked to about such illnesses?) |

| #5 When I saw the headline and the first couple paragraphs, I was thinking that it was one of those factories in China that had phantom employees. Or, for that matter, the NOPD. Anyway, don't be _too_ cocky, we suffer a lot here in the west thanks to the uninformed and/or downright malicious voting habits of the dead. |

| #2 "TROY" Movie on TV > KING PRIAM to son HECTOR -"DON'T MOCK THE GODS". Ditto for Ghosts and Ancestral Spirits. AL GORE + OLIVER STONE, etc. were Army soldiers in Vietnam, etc. but GUAM TAOTAMONAS = THE DEAD [Past and Future] ALREADY KNEW ABOUT "GORACLE" + JFK/TEXAS-SIZED ASTEROIDS. Why should World Humanity listen to SECULARISTS whom, despite deniably recognizing the predomin role of SOLAR ACTIVITY in GLOBAL-PLANETARY WARMING, want us to CONTROL THE GIANT SUN BY UNILATER CONTROLLING THE TINY EARTH, AND ONLY THE EARTH, AND WITHOUT HAVING TO ASK ANDOR EXPLAIN ANYTHING AS TO WHY!? Have to give God, the Unknown or Incomprehensible its due! |
