The Godiva Syndrome - psychic sump discovered
The phrase 'sent to Coventry' describes the action taken against someone when a group decides to shun and not talk to an individual that was part of their cultural group.
Psychic researchers have now described a phenomenon known as the Godiva Syndrome so called because it has been observed in the UK city of Coventry where Lady Godiva rode naked through the streets to free the people from high taxes and oppression.
It is claimed that the area around Coventry and West Midlands acts as a giant psychic sump causing buildings to be 'sad' and various geographical and urban features to be 'depressive'.
The Two Tone ska band The Specials came from Coventry and they famously sang of how Coventry was 'coming like a ghost town' perhaps that feeling was also due in part to the Godiva Syndrome.
Researchers reportedly used the psychic mediation tool Oracle Reprocessed Stewart Home (Oracle RSH) to reveal the Godiva Syndrome locus.

Well, I think the mystery is easily solved. No offence to Coventry but if I were one of the badly constructed concrete monstrosities thrown up after the war, I too would be a "sad" building.

I'll be sure to avoid it. Sounds like it needs a dose of feng shui.or geological acupuncture.

Concrete can be shaped with motives and painted like a canvas. :)

Concrete being shaped shaped with motives and painted like canvas .... great thinking!
Also in the correct atmospheric conditions rocks and structures can 'store' both audio and other information about events going on in their vicinity to be played back in similar conditions.... maybe this accounts for some spectral sightings etc

how odd - I never thought of a building being sad before - I wonder if there are any in Vancouver? Good story!
