The Science of Bad Vibes

Fabled Collective

The science of bad vibes is interesting. Have you ever visited a place that felt unusually peaceful or, conversely, oppressively heavy? Throughout my travels to various haunted locations, I’ve encountered places steeped in history and tragedy, where visitors often sense lingering negativity. Sensitive individuals are especially prone to feeling these residual vibrations, a phenomenon explained by theories of emotional residue and geopathic stress.
Emotional residue suggests that past emotions can leave an imprint on a place, detectable through chemical signals like those emitted through tears and sweat. Research supports the idea that humans can unconsciously communicate emotions through chemosignals, influencing others' feelings and behaviors.
Geopathic stress, on the other hand, is believed to arise from distortions in the Earth’s energy, potentially caused by geological faults, underground water, or man-made structures. This stress is thought to lead to health issues like fatigue, insomnia, and headaches. Historically, ancient societies recognized the impact of Earth's energies on human well-being, guiding the placement of their cities and structures based on natural indicators.
Despite modern science's struggle to fully understand these phenomena, personal experiences reveal the profound impact of a place’s vibrations. I’ve lived in locations that drained my creativity and others that inspired it, highlighting the importance of being attuned to the energy around us.
Join me as I delve into the science and stories behind these mysterious forces and share your own experiences of places that have affected you. Someone you know might be suffering from the negative energy of their environment—share this episode and let them know they’re not alone.
