There is a ghost in my boat

Bernard was the name Dowly chose for his first picture when he created the SH3 Funny Picture Thread back in 2005. He has since become the chosen imaginary crewman we blame for all of our own screwups.

He has since been mentioned countless times, and has had many threads dedicated solely to him.

Yes, Bernard wrecked my last boat by surfacing in front of a ship trying to ram us. I ordered crash dive, and Bernard blew the Tanks, right in front of the steamer we already torpedoed.
First time in history that a U-boat was sunk by a Torpedoed steamer.
Thanks Bernard

PS: Yes M4XDmG, You have a ghost, and he's playing your game. He probably doesn't like having the plug pulled either...

If you have any more occurrences, please by all means, check back on this, sounds kind of creepy.

He's also a clumsy bear on ABC! Check it out for yourself! The show is, appropriately enough, called Bernard.

Ok, Bernard you say...

Now I know who to blame when things go bollix. Didn't have time to play today, so don't know is he still aboard, we'll see.

And yeah, I'll update here if something strange happens. I haven't experienced that speaker chatter since. That's actually only time I've ever encountered anything that weird. We had just bought this house. It's built 1928 and has seen a lot... If only these walls could talk... No WAIT!

Careful now with these wishes...

Your speaker possession story reminded me of case we had here in Italy, not too long ago:

radio broadcasts from Radio Maria (a Vatican held radio station) could be heard from most entry phones in the Rome area.

From the following investigations it resulted that the horned one had nothing to do with this oddity. Its reason was more mundane, but not lesser extravagant: in their evangelizing ardor, they had installed overpowered radio transmitters and they were forced by law to downtune them a bit. Dunno if Vatican was condemned to pay a fine for its radio-magnetic bombardment, but I doubt that

Perhaps in this case have been blame the transmitters of the Plesetsk Cosmodrome if the Russian language was heard..

It's not far from Finland..

Many years ago I was sitting in my living room with the radio playing while I was reading. Without any warning a deep, growling voice started speaking. The words were unintelligible, and my hair stood on end. I had no idea what it could be. A couple of days later it happended again, and I began to get worried. Yet another couple of days and it happened a third time, only this time I could understand the words: "Breaker one-nine..."

It turned out there was a CB home transmitter just a block away, overriding whatever station I was tuned to. Citizens Band radio is the set of frequencies used by truck drivers and other motorists to stay in touch with each other on the road. The home station was quite powerful.

I suspect your "ghost" is the same sort of thing.

does voice recognition work in games? I've never actually heard of that before.
