ABC has a
story up about two blind people who genuinely echolocate, a 14 year old kid named Ben Underwood, and a 40 year old man named Daniel Kish who runs a group that teaches other blind people to echolocate.

Ben says every object in his life talks to him in ways that no one else can hear or understand.
About Kish
"I have mental images that are very rich, very complex. They simply do not possess the visual element,"
This story via

Open Reading Frame to the blogroll, which I should have done a while ago.
