Indirect Voice During a séance, it is called an indirect voice phenomena when the voice of the spirit comes from the throat of the medium.
Residual hauntings usually occur in older locations and may be the ghosts reliving important events in their lives—marriages, births, deaths, etc. Some researchers claim that the events are not ghosts in the classic sense, but are energies trapped in the location that repeat like a recording on an “endless loop” of magnetic tape.

 Phenomena
There are many unique visual phenomena that are produced by nature, from the rainbow to more esoteric effects like the anthelic cross or Parry's arc.
As the light is passing through the hexagonal ice it creates a rainbow effect with the red-end of the spectrum toward the inner part of the Halo, also the area inside the ring may appear darker than the surrounding sky.
This phenomena is sometimes called a Chembow, because of the rainbow color aspect, but this term is most applicable to Chemrings because of the circular-shape and rainbow tinged colors.

Phenomena is nothing like as instantly gratifying as Suspiria or Opera, but it is an excellent piece of work and one that grows on you with subsequent viewings.
Phenomena is presented non-anamorphically in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1.
Phenomena is one of Argento's most controversial films after Inferno and La Sindrome di Stendhal, and it is definitely in the "love it or hate it" category.

 BASIC CELESTIAL PHENOMENA
Natural phenomena, of course, are all the various observable appearances that natural philosophers, astronomers, or other scientists try to explain (provided that they notice them and consider them worthy of explanation).
However, by first acquainting ourselves with the basic celestial phenomena, we may retrace the invention of these significant conceptualizations in a simulated rediscovery.
Knowledge of these phenomena in varying degrees might be found in almost any settled community nearly anywhere in the world, whether literate or not--perhaps even in a small university town at the beginning of the third millenium after Christ.

 Plasmoid Phenomena - Paper by Edward Lewis
Fundamental anomalous phenomena are the contradictions of the postulates of the premises of people's theories, and the environment.
For example, superconductivity seems to be similar to the phenomena of ball lightning traveling though materials such as ceramics and glass without leaving holes or visible effects, yet ball lightning may convert to an electrical surge after touching a wire or it may convert to a bolt of lightning.
The vortex phenomena photographed by Stringham and George are plasmoid phenomena.

 Kinoeye | Italian Horror: Dario Argento's Phenomena (1985)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Phenomena is an example of body-horror in Italian cinema which specifically targets adolescent anxieties about newly-awakened sexual desires and the shame that stems from physical deformity.
In Phenomena, typical adolescent anxieties about sexuality, body image and madness are played out as the narrative progresses.
The revival of infantile erotic fantasies and incestuous wishes within the new context of a sexually active and potent body leaves some adolescents feeling they are mad—a child in an adult's body.

 Phenomena (1985)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
I have already written a review of "Phenomena", but now that I've seen it 8 or so times since then, it's quickly becoming my favorite Argento movie, with the possible exception of "Suspiria".
The murders are actually secondary to the atmosphere in "Phenomena", which is like a lightweight fairy tale with horrifying subtext.
"Opera" is the probably the most suspenseful (the ending of that film approaches "Phenomena" in unexplainable beauty) and has an incredible gimmick (pins under the eyelids).

 slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Phenomena
The scenes where Argento shows her walking in her sleep are curiously inter-cut with shots of an imagined white corridor (for retro effect, the shot is scored to cheesy '80s synthesizer breakbeats).
Phenomena's paranormal obsessions are unlike anything you've ever seen—a retro-mystical tableaux of pulsating synthesizers and flying insects ready to do the bidding of their human master.
In the end, Phenomena's greatest weakness may be that it doesn't demand active spectatorship as much as it seemingly muddles our expectations.

Otherwise Phenomena shows Argento out of control in a way I though would never be possible as he tries to combine elements from his past successes like Four Flies on Grey Velvet and Suspiria with other more routine influences from Homicidal and Friday the 13th.
Secondly, and more detrimental, is that Phenomena is Argento's first film to be shot entirely in the English language, and the result is stilted, banal dialogue, which is squirm-inducing when it isn't coming across as hysterically comic.
I predict not only censor problems for Phenomena but also judicious editing to excise some of the more ludicrous moments before the film gets a UK release.

Yet, in the process of deciphering the clues, Jonathan might be unlocking a larger evil waiting for release.
The trailer for "White Noise" made a very persuasive case for the presence of E.V.P., or "Electronic Voice Phenomena," and the suits at Universal did a bang-up job selling the small amount of science behind this strange corner of the paranormal world.
Taking a moody, PG-13 cue from the "Sixth Sense" and "The Ring," "Noise" has the benefit of an original angle to play against for what is essentially another hoary, dull ghost story.

Everytime he said "Mahna Mahna" (which sounds alot like phenomena), the Snowths (which looked sorta like talking rocks) would reply with some variation of "do doo do do".
Later on, when the "Muppets Tonight" was airing, one of the sketches had Kermit talking to a psychiatrist (played by Sandra Bullock) where he complained that everytime someone said the word "Phenomena", he heard the Snowths go with their responses.
Any time the word phenomena appears (in any capitalization), you are to insert the appropriate response by the Snowths in parentheses.

Their new live recording Phenomena, blends guitar-laden hip-hop with bouncy ska-influenced horns and pop-laced tunes that have captured the attention of Australians for several years now.
Planet Shakers was birthed out of a vision that founder Russell Evans had many years back as a youth minister who longed to see the youth culture delve into true worship and experience and encounter God in a fresh way.

 Untitled Document   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
One of his most messily playful films, PHENOMENA combines elements of gialli with the more supernatural terrors of SUSPIRIA and INFERNO.
Here though, the beautiful colours and dark fairy tail atmosphere of that previous film are replaced by a naturalistic, sometimes muted colour palette, which often seems to play against the gothic horror elements in the story.
The audio quality is adequate but again, after the near perfection Anchor Bay have achieved recently, one can't help hoping that they revisit both PHENOMENA and TENEBRE in the future and give them the same treatment as some of the other discs in their Dario Argento Collection.
