there are no ghosts, aliens, fairies, trolls, gnomes, bigfoot, Loch Ness monsters, giant killer birds, abominable snowman, swamp thing, Jersey devil, Chupicabra, etc, etc, etc.

All of these things were invented for various reasons, but it always boils down to MONEY. Everyone involved in hoaxes and the general exploitation of the dumb masses makes a buck or two off the "existence" of these myths.

damn it!! Do you know how upsetting this is!?

I'm not sure if I fully believe in ghosts. but I do enjoy Most Haunted. :geek:

mainly cause I like David Wells though. if I was ever in an encounter with a ghost or such, I'd want him there.

i just find it bizarre that a pair of people never see a ghost while together.

Um, how did you come up with that statement? There are a lot of documented stories of two people witnessing the same thing.

I saw it in my childhood bedroom. There was an old lady sitting in a rocking chair on the opposite side of the room just staring right the heck at me. She didn't look very friendly either. I was in my bed, and trust me, I did the blink and hope it's gone thing... but it just stayed put. In the house where I grew up I had a lot of experiences (all very negative) but only once did I see what was causing them.

When I was in my 20's, and many years after leaving that house did I find out that an elderly lady died inside not long before my parents bought it. It was her husband that sold the house to my parents so he could move in with family. I think back and realize now that the ghost just didn't think we belonged, we weren't HER family, and so she treated us accordingly.

After we moved out, I haven't had anything even close to that happen again.

i just came up with the statement based on the few ghost stories i have watched.............no research at all on my part.

now that i think about it.......my parents took me to see amitiville horror when i was 6 or 7, that movie scared me until, well, it still kinds of creeps me out.

why is it always buildings/houses that are haunted?

I'm guessing it's because people live in the same place /house for a long time (at least they used to), they might even have built it.. There are memories there, people get attached to their homes, that sort of thing.

EDIT: and of course there are those who have been tortured/killed in certain buildings and stay there because they either don't know they're dead, don't know how to move on or don't want to move on (to have revenge or something).

wow, that is pretty crazy stuff. so what did you end up doing? no chance in hell i would be able to roll over and go back to bed after that.

i'd like to encounter a ghost one day. but not in a scary situation/manner.

someone mentioned amityville horror. that is one of very few horror movies that creeped me out and to this day it still give me the creeps.

ajedigecko

i mentioned the amitiville horror..........scary show.

i was terrified to go up stairs from the basement, when i was a kid.

have you seen the entity?

haven't seen the entity. same premise as amityville?

ajedigecko

no...........i would tell you about it, but that would take away from the suspense. check it out and let me know what you think.

also.......do not read about it, just go rent it blindly, it will freak you out.

ajedigecko

especially if you are female.

I've got the whole dvd set of the show. It's funny because I just saw that episode recently.

I really like the Cigarette Smoking Man episode were you find out all the conspiracies he's been behind for years and it ends with his take on Forrest Gump's life is like a box of chocolates monologue.

' Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is... fleeting. So, you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers'

ajedigecko

i take it the episode you are talking about was at the end of the series.

I believe in ghosts...... My sister, who is the last person in the world that would make somethin up about ghosts had a crazy experience. Not long after my brother passed, my mom was tellin my sister about a song that reminded her of him. Later my mom called back to see if my sister had went and checked out the song(she had downloaded from an email and hadn't listened to it yet). My sister got off the phone and started walkin over to the computer, and before she got to the pc the song started. My sister was a bit freaked out, but sat down to listen and when she did she could feel hands on her shoulders and smell my brothers cologne.



I've had a few experiences, but I can always think of a logical explanation to debunk it. I've had one that I can't explain. My little junk record player kicked on automatically.

My friends have some stories, one in particular about a conversation one of my buddies thought he was having with another friend, but it turned out everybody thought he was talking to somebody else.

As far as only houses/buildings being haunted....... That's not "true"...... Lotsa old battlefields and cemeteries are haunted.

ajedigecko

great story.........good to see ghosts becoming computer literate.

good call on the battlefied.........i watched a program about gettysburg and the guy had video as well.

Season 4 Episode 7.

I guess that's before the half way point(9 seasons).

I don't believe in ghosts, btw.

i believe my apartment is visited by or maybe the energy never goes away i don't know. things go bump in the night all by themselves. most recently im hanging clothes up in my closet when the things on my dresser are making a clatter all by themselves.

candles, candles in glass, coins, a jim morrison poetry book, & a couple wooden carved figurines playing drums

it sounded like someone banged an item of some kind on my dresser & i hear this quite often

the other night i had a dream seeing a clydesdale horse ghost in this large house that i am lost in
