    The unexplainable occurrence...

    Phosphorescentfart is a lesser-known supernatural phenomenon, usually detected by "sensitives" by sound or smell, but sometimes caught on camera. It most often occurs in the presence of dogs or cats, and is sometimes associated with elderly persons. This is discussed at some length in the book "Das Stille Mist" by August Trausserkoff, published in 1939. An English language translation entitled "Offending the Senses" was privately published in England (sadly without the illustrations) by Sir John Bowles-Skiddmarque in 1958. Copies occasionally turn up on ebay. Phosphorescentfarts may be confused by some as a form of ectoplasm, but the two are dissimilar in their manifestation, as Trausserkoff was at pains to point out.

    Re: Supernatural anyone?

    As I was playing, I couldn't either hear or smell the phenomenon. And I certainly wasn't the originator...

    Does your realm of expertise know no bounds? I will have to try and find a copy for my wife so she stops giving me a dirty looks when I tell her "it wasn't me." Guess this old place must have a odorifous specter that I was unaware of. Is this phenomenon in any way related to the creature that seems to eat socks when they are in the dryer? Perhaps the high fiber content is the reason for the repeated offenses.
