CUE STANDARD MOD SPEECH

Hey People,

Just a polite reminder to keep things civil.

Personal attacks serve nothing and noone. They merely detract from the point you wish to make.

I've issued a Warn to a Member and editted another.

Please lets stick to the accepted etiquette of 'attack the post not the poster'.


Thank you.

By the way, there have been pets reported and photographed. I've gotten EVPs of animials in locations where the owners did not have any pets. I actually lost one of my cats -she was hit by a car. She use to sleep under my bed alot and at night when I turned out the lights, she would either dart into the closet or go to the door and cry to go out. 2 days after we buried her, as soon as I turned off the lights that evening, I heard her cry to get out. Without thinking, I responded and got up to open the bedroom door and then stood there waiting for her to leave the room. Nothing. I called her name and then turned the light on to look for her - totally forgetting that she had died two days earlier. My spouse just looked at me strangely and then I realized that she couldn't be there. The following night, I turned off the lights and swore I saw her dart from under the bed to the closet - again, I called out to her and got up and checked the closet after turning the light on. Again, nothing. But that was it, we never heard her again after that.

As far as locations with horrible tragedies not having ghosts - I friend of mine recently presented that question on another forum. I will tell you this.......one of the reasons you may not hear about reports from those places is that many people feel uncomfortable about being in these locations and so they don't usually stay long. To find a ghost, you have to be willing to stay in those locations for extended periods of time to observe anything. My friend toured one of the concentration camps in Germany and told us that her discomfort was so profound that she couldn't bring herself to even finish the tour. I would also add that for individuals that are sensitive, especially to emotion, some of these places are totally overwhelming. I've walked many a battlefield across the US and I've stood on the Arizona memorial. Many of these places are controlled by the Park Services. Many of them have reports of being haunted....some that I know of are The Alamo, Little Big Horn, Gettysburg, Concord, Gallows Hill, Chalmette, Ft Monroe, Fredricksburg......and the list goes on. If you question this, take a look at Haunted Places Directory by Dennis William Hauck.

well i can say in all hnoesty that i lived in a "haunted" house for 12 years.
i had real encounters.
i cant say i ever saw a full human figure. as strange as it sounds I saw a figure of a human from the waste down.. but i had been sleeping and awoke to this.. so i guess it could be questionable.

but as far as my real experiences..
i have witnessed objects flying across a room. and no i did not see it in mid air.. because it happened too fast. but it happened.
my grandmother who never ever believed in such things actually saw a person and a "demon" in the form of my mother. that was a genuine experience... i had never seen her so terrified.

but the label "Ghost" is very very vague. there could be a better explanation than saying ITS GHOSTS! maybe these figures are not dead. maybe they are alive. ::Shrug::

my two cents.

I have seen what is needed to be seen. I now have faith such things exist. I have found the answer to my questions.
