Many of the older garages in the Boston area are built with a cast cement cinderblock that was made to look like cut stone blocks. The wall moss loves to grow on garages built with this block. A while back I climbed up on to the flat roof of an old garage to look at the moss that covered the north wall and part of the roof. I sat in the moss and put my hand on it and felt a tingling electrical current through my fingers. I immediately jumped down. It's possible that there was some exposed wire in the garage and that the moist cinderblock and moss were "live". Or is it possible that there was some chemical reaction occuring with a large area of wet moss on rotting cement that was generating a slight electrical charge? Anyone ever have a "shocking" experience with moss?
