flirtygirty Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Hi Would anyone know if it is possible to induce vertigo in someone (inside a building) from a distance - say the length of 2 football fields - either with a device intended for something else or possibly a home made one?
insane_alien Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 it depends if they are succeptible to vertigo in the first place. you could use mirrors to make it look like they are standing on the edge of a really deep hole which should be enough.
flirtygirty Posted June 12, 2009 Author Posted June 12, 2009 I see what you mean (I think!) not sure thats whats happening with me tho but appreciate the reply.. thankyou.
iNow Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Why would you think that "somebody else" is doing this to you from afar... in some paranoid way... instead of you just being implicitly prone to vertigo?
Sisyphus Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Yeah, what? You have reason to suspect someone is somehow inducing vertigo in you with an otherwise indetectable device operating on some unknown principle from 200 yards away?
flirtygirty Posted June 12, 2009 Author Posted June 12, 2009 Because it only happens in a certain spot in 2 rooms of the house (both at the back) I have been experiencing this for the last few months but never anywhere apart from where I have just mentioned, it may sound paranoid but I cant think of any reason why this only happens in those 2 rooms.. I have had gas checks done, also someone suggested mould spores in the air but although is a small amount of mould growth in one corner of my kitchen I cant see it causing that sort of problem. I drink occasionally and I dont take drugs..
flirtygirty Posted June 12, 2009 Author Posted June 12, 2009 No but there is only myself and my young daughter - she dosnt spend much time in the kitchen or the bathroom if she can help it.. as for friends and family I havent asked them cos I would feel daft but I think they would say so if they noticed anything..
iNow Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 The short answer is that pretty much any other explanation is more likely than some terrorist 200 yards away trying to make your life difficult. My impression is that it could have something to do with the stability of the structure... maybe it wobbles a bit in that area... Or, perhaps there are some ultra-low frequency waves in the ground right at that spot, maybe resulting from a fault line/tectonic movement. Or, it really could be the mold, especially if you have a mold allergy. Really... there's no need to invoke the least likely explanation when SO MANY other possibilities would fit.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I would get the mold checked out and your inner ear checked by a doctor. There are loads of things that can cause vertigo, including many health problems, so it's best to get it checked out.
flirtygirty Posted June 12, 2009 Author Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks for the advice i think the doc is the next step.. just for the record though I have had several run ins with certain people 200 yards away, but I agree it seems highly unlikely. Thanks all.

This sounds like a job for the great detective himself! "Bring your revolver Watson.."
