Some physical affects were also experienced, including tingling in the back of the neck and a strange feeling in the stomach.
Is it just me, or do you get the feeling that the pre-concert banquet might've been contaminated with something?

Mr O'Keefe added: "When places affect people physically and they aren't able to explain it, they often attribute their feelings to being near a ghost."
And I would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

Inanimate objects were also strangely affected by jumping off countertops, showing their incredible, pitiful anguish for the music's deep feelings. Buildings showed their emotion by creating cracks in their foundations, no doubt in sympathy for the bifircated feelings expressed in song.

It's certainly no secret that people are effected by really, really low bass notes. As the article itself notes church organs have been using this trick to spice up the "Glory Hallelujahs" for centuries.
The part that's interesting is that seems to be a mood *enhancer*, rather producing any specific effect, so if the power of the Lord is already moving you that organ is going to move you more.
Let's hear it for the Church and gut level empiricism.
Don't install one of these "sub-sub-woofers" if you have pissy neighbors though. It reminds of the Bill Cosby joke about cocaine:
"It enhances my personality"
"Yeah, but what if you're an asshole?"

But oddly, this (for whatever friggin' reason) reminded me of a deaf couple I once saw fighting. The guy got really angry and closed his eyes. The lady was SO FURIOUS that he wasn't "listening" to her that she tried to PRY the other guy's eyes open with her fingers! What I wouldn't have given to know what they were talking about!

Why bombard him with soundless music when we can bombard him with tasteless music. 24/7 of N-Sync should pound him into submission.

There's only so much torture you can give before it becomes inhumane..
I'm fairly sure N'Sync for more than 5 minutes is cruel and unusual punishment.
Tortured like that for 10 minutes, he'd probably die of an internal hemorrhage, or give up the locations of every missile in the country, and give you his 67 wives.
(don't get optimistic. Only two if the wives are remotely cute)
