Sent to Earth (Michael Brown) Throughout the centuries, since Noah, there have been strange times: periods when floods, earthquakes, tidal waves, storms, droughts, plagues, volcanoes, and even asteroid or comet activity have haunted the earth. The hints are right there in the nightly news. It's about to happen again. God is poised to send major events, and it's for a simple reason. Like the people in ancient times, we've allowed evil to build up, and as a result we face happenings everywhere. This is the book Mother Angelica has called  'awesome.'

FOR DISCERNMENT: IF TIMES AREN'T STRANGE ENOUGH, THERE ARE MORE REPORTS OF UNCANNY GROANING SOUNDS

We usually don't run follow-up articles with feedback right after an initial story but will make an exception because of the interesting mail we have received this week on what we can only describe as "strange sounds" occurring globally. Are they a hoax, or signs of the times? For those of you who weren't with us Monday, folks from Ukraine, Canada, Hungary, and the Czech Republic to Canada and the U.S. (and elsewhere) are claiming that they have been disturbed of late by uncanny loud sounds that have met no ready explanation. For years now, cities and towns in the U.S. have recorded unusual loud rumblings. But this seems to be a new elevation, and not necessarily subterranean nor confined to rumbles.

We worry about hoax: Some of the most prominent examples on the internet (especially YouTube) could easily have been dubbed. First and foremost, we'll keep that in mind. There are also many man-made effects and natural phenomena. But we trust our own viewership, and our viewers are reporting aberrant acoustical effects in a way that makes us want to at least take another look at (or another listen to) it. Most recently, the news reports (in mainstream secular media) have come from Costa Rica, where two weeks ago (the week of January 10, 2012) people across the nation reported a sound alternately described as a hum or a rumble, drawing the attention of seismologists, who offered no ready explanation. "Is it the mysterious sound of the so-called coming Apocalypse?" asked Costa Rica Newspaper Online. From a viewer named Caroline Jarzabekwe we received the notice that:

"My husband and I were in Costa Rica (Liberia, Guanacaste) from December 19th to the 27th. Our resort was built into the mountain area and very isolated and beautiful. Every morning we would sit on the balcony around five a.m. to watch the sunrise over the mountains and watch the tide, and the birds and animals wake up. We would watch in awe at the beauty of it all.

"On Christmas Eve morning as we were waiting quietly on the balcony, there was this howling that seemed to come from somewhere over the mountains. At first we thought it may have been the howler monkeys in the distance, but the sun had not yet started to rise and there would have had to be a great deal of monkeys to make this noise. It was intermittent; it would howl for a few minutes then would be quieter and then it would get loud again. It went on for quite some time; I would say a good ten to fifteen minutes. Other than the howling, everything else was as it should be; the birds woke up and starting flying around, flitting from tree to tree and there were no other visual disturbances at all. I remember my husband and I talking about it together and how we thought it odd that this was Christmas Eve and remarked how the earth was groaning for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. We asked several people that we met at the resort if they had heard it too and some of them did as they too were up about the same time as we were and wondered what it could have been. After reading about this in Spirit Daily and listening to a couple of the YouTube videos that you had posted in your article, it was identical to what we had heard that morning. These indeed are interesting times and should remind us to always be ready for the Bridegroom. "

"I too heard the noise on January 12 here in Bismarck, North Dakota," said another viewer named Colleen. "If you hadn't posted those videos on your site I never would have mentioned it as I thought it must be something local and I haven't heard it since. There have been some strange sounds at night but they're not the same as what I heard that day. The noise in the videos posted from Canada was the noise I heard. It was almost like a piece of very heavy metal being dragged on pavement; at first I thought it was a snow plow but there was no snow on the streets. Then our nanny and I went outside to try and locate it and it was so loud and all around you and went on for fifteen to twenty minutes. It had two parts, the rushing wind sound yet there was no wind and the scraping and groaning sound. Our nanny kept going into the garage because she thought the garage door was opening and closing. I tend to think it's man-made; it's too metallic sounding, like the groan a steel ship makes as it's listing and sinking, or when metal heats and expands. I worry about speaking about this stuff as I do believe whatever this sound is, it doesn't come from a good place and it doesn't have a good purpose. "

We have similar concerns; while we should be aware of what is around us, including signs, we should not immerse ourselves in an obsessive way, for to an extent there is the sinister way it resonates and evil can transmit its energy.

Or is it just chicanery? Some videos are almost identical -- too identical.

"We have found some of the most prominent audio to be faked,"  viewer Joey Storer of Midland, Michigan, informed us. "Some of this may still be real but there is a good deal of faking going on." Yet he added: "These sounds remind me of descriptions of demonic 'train like' noises that the Cur of Ars described as a regular torture he experienced as the demonic would seek to disrupt his sleep. I am a Ph.D. chemist and I just spent an hour discussing these sounds with a physicist friend of mine who is also a musician and expert in acoustics. We hypothesized numerous possible sources for these sounds and have exhausted our own knowledge of natural phenomena as a mechanism to produce this on a global scale. We are deeply concerned about the possibility of a preternatural or supernatural source.  We are studying this actively." He noted "one video at a baseball game or others found in news clips seem to have more credibility since the announcers are actually discussing the sounds they are hearing."

m9 solar flare jan 23Wrote Wilifried Van des Jeught from Belgium: "Despite the fact that I always thought that these sounds (the hums) were artificial or mechanical, I heard them myself more than three months ago (in Edegem, a town in the suburbs of Antwerp) around noon. At first I thought it was submitted from construction works on the town square, but at that time the workers were not at work due to the afternoon break. It sounded as huge excavators (which weren't there at that moment) who were scraping huge metal pipes, or as the blowing on  gigantic tubes with very low frequency resonances as a result. Afterwards, garden birds, apart from some magpies, were gone for more than three weeks. A horrible and so-to-speak prehistoric sound."

Adds Jenny Clifford of Australia: "I have been watching today’s main story on Spirit Daily, about uncanny sounds. Like others I have to wonder if this is a hoax. Then I read the reading for Mass today: thus David and all the House of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with acclaim and the sound of horn."

"I've listened to some of the YouTube postings with strange sounds," said another with a scientific view. "Some remind me of astronomer's recording of cosmic waves. I wondered to myself  -- if any of these are real -- if there might be a correlation with CMEs (coronal mass ejections). As you know, because you monitor the news, sunspot activity has increased."

"We live in Western Montana and have lived here for 37 years," contributes Rory Page. " I do know that Montana is said to be earthquake active but for all this time we have felt one earthquake.  We have had three earthquakes in as many months lately and the interesting part is that each quake has a loud boom attached to it as if a huge explosion happened instead. This is probably not the loud noises people are talking about but I find it interesting that these earthquakes are happening in the same exact spot and the loud boom that accompanies them is different. I grew up in California so I am very aware of what earthquakes sound like; I don't remember these loud booms."

From Roanoke, Virginia, a viewer named Linda wrote that "January 6 to 9 starting late at night, a low tone started and sounded slightly like a truck idling. Thought it was just me but my brother heard it also.  Was loud enough to disturb sleeping; in the daytime it was not as noticeable with all the city noises, but once traffic died down there it was. Another odd thing we both noticed is a strong pressure in our ears. I have had many ear problems and for almost two weeks my hearing was greatly diminished until I was going to Eucharistic Adoration at a Church in a nearby town and suddenly my ears cleared.  Who knows if there is a correlation?"

"I live near the sea, in Christchurch, New Zealand,  where recently we had two large earthquakes offshore on December 23rd," writes another who preferred anonymity. "It was a time of great anguish. That evening, as I sat on my sofa, there followed hours and hours of a booming sound coming up under my wooden floor. I imagine that the ground was readjusting itself to the new configurations that the quakes had wrought."

An alleged locutionary prophecy from 1990 which accurately has foreseen a number of trends occurring since had predicted (for discernment) that: "chastisements will differ according to regions, and like the great evil, will not always or usually be immediately noticeable for what they are. In the period also will be a warning that involves not fire from the sky but fear of fire from the sky, and strange loud rumblings." It had not addressed mechanical or howling noises.

Said James Fifth: "I have heard the sounds once, way before I knew anything about the 1990 prophecy mentioning it. It was September 13, 2001, two days after 9/11. At the time I lived in New Jersey. We were watching footage of the rescuers on television around 9 p.m. I walked outside and notice a strange rumbling that seemed to last for a long time. I knew it wasn’t a plane, yet it continued for a long while. While listening, I noticed a red aurora in the sky. Being so far south, it wasn’t very pronounced, but I noticed it because I had not seen one before. That was the last time I had heard, or seen, either."

And that's of potential interest because the northern lights are again lighting up the night skies in Scandinavia (as the sun belches the energy from a solar flare, as auroras also were prominent right after September 11) and because Venezuelan mystic Maria Esperanza, currently up for veneration, while visiting New Jersey before September 11, once said that she felt a rumbling. (She had also said that she felt the earth's core was not in balance: see Bridge to Heaven.) Noted a last one from Kim Salada, in DuBois, Pennsylvania: "Just experienced a booming sound while praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament. Three within a moment of each other. Loud cracking booms that made the ground tremble under my knees. Investigated any kind of cause for the noise, including snow falling off church roof… but there is nothing I could find. A priest even came into the church, looked around and left again, so I know he had to have heard it too."
