Silent City Hoax

Episode 7: Silent City Hoax Silent City A hallucination is when something is seen that doesn't exist. A mirage is a real thing seen in the wrong location consisting mainly of images of distant objects. These may be steady or wavering, single or multiple, upright or inverted, vertically enlarged or reduced. A mirage is a natural optical phenomenon that can be captured on camera since light rays are refracted to form a false image at the observer's location. However, what the image appears to represent is Richard Willoughby   determined by the interpretive faculties of the human mind. I had never read or considered mirages other than mirages of pools of water standing on a highway on a hot day. And I knew nothing about the Silent City Hoax and no knowledge of any Ghost City before I experienced my North Slope phenomenon.   ___________________________________________________________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by Author Masterminds and the Readers and Writers Book Club.  Check out the Author Masterminds Website Get to know the authors at The Readers and Writers Book Club _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Meet your host for Episode 7: Silent City Hoax Evan Swensen, book publisher, editor, author, and Author Masterminds charter member along with his wife, Lois, publishes books by authors worldwide.
