The phrase of the day is "Feraliminal Lycanthropizer"

Great article on the Fortean Times website about sonic weapons -- loads of interesting material pertaining to military applications, ghost hunting and behavior modification, but I was struck by this passage in particular:

"The link between periods of insanity and exposure to specific infrasound frequencies forms the basis for the ‘Feraliminal Lycanthropizer’, a device claimed to stimulate atavistic animality, sexual excitement, and a loss of inhibitions in its target. As described in an essay published in Dainty Viscera magazine, the Feraliminal Lycanthropizer creates two infrasound frequencies – 3Hz and 9Hz – which, combined, generate a lower, third frequency of 0.56Hz. The machine also uses a combination of four subliminal, looped, audio tape recordings – playing both forwards and backwards – outside the normal audible pitch."

Freaky.
