I put a similar post in Penny For Your Thoughts about the www.what3words.com website but there are probably great bizarre applications as well.
This company has replaced the numbers of latitude and longitude with a naming convention for small areas all over the globe using only three words, often very common. It occurred to me that you could make up a stack of index cards or blank facers that contained apparently random common words but by using a variety of common forces you could have one or up to three people pick words that you could almost intuit, but just not on the button. So when you steer them toward the what3words site and they discover that these words point to their place of business, the middle of the driveway of their home or some other significant location--church where married, military base where served, former frat house, etc. Example, there actually is a location in the US designated by magic.magic.magic. I refer to it in the other post. For here, I scanned to see if there was any location using spooky.mysterious.bizarre and there was not an exact hit, but there is a spooky.mysteriously.bizarrely; I will let you discover for yourself where that ends of being. But I have used this to send co-workers back to an old haunt they had forgotten I knew about by testing our ESP with a supposed set of student vocabulary flash cards. For bizarrists, I think some of the asylums or cemeteries (gravesites of famous individuals like Poe) or purported locations of hauntings, sightings, Jack the Ripper locales could be enfolded into an effect. Words revealed by planchette, oracle cards, slates that are otherwise meaningless in isolation suddenly take on tremendous significance if they turn out to point to a very special location. I would be very interested to hear from anyone by PM if you try this and find any useful variations. As I said in Penny, this is not a bogus web portal created for a magic app but a real company website whose proprietary methodology can be harnessed to complete one or more moments of amazing synchronicity. Thanks, Charlie Lakewood WA

I did not mean to be the first to reply to my own post but I just checked the vicinity of 515 W Fayette St in Baltimore where Poe is buried. Not much right on top of the gravesite but a space diagonally nearby is tagged poetic.shaped.owners and a little to the east is pull.codes.trunk (significant if you remember your Gold Bug) and just north of the cemetery at the street corner--this one hit me hardest--drank.basic.agenda. I know there has been much new research and revisionism about Poe's health especially near the end of his life, but it is a persistent cliche in high school English folklore that he had difficulties with alcohol.
I will try a few other spooky authors and some other prominent landmarks. Someone should look around the area of the sinking of the Titanic and see if anything useful surfaces. Again, I would like to hear from anyone here or by PM who has experimented with this. Regards, Charlie Lakewood WA
