Do you believe in ghosts? Paranormal stuff?

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I didn't even think about that until it was nearly through. The other people living with me were convinced, but I thought it was ridiculous. By the time I was on board, it was only a few days and it was gone. Also, I'm just a regular guy. I'm not some sort of paranormal investigator. So my life was not spent, trying to think about how I can gather evidence. 

Heck, even if I had gotten evidence, this would have been the first time I would have even thought about sharing it because really, what's it going to change? Video can be doctored so skeptics would just laugh it off. I know I would have before all this. And you probably would have as well. 

So it just stopped and never happened again? Hmm.

I guess you have a point about not being believed even with video evidence. How would one even get real scientists involved, there's no such field in universities as paranormal studies, is there? I've seen a movie or two where scientist come along and establish a field lab at the site with top of the line equipment and all that, but what would it take for that to happen, I wonder. The phenomenon should be constantly repeatable, observable by anyone and completely inexplicable, at the very least.

This sort of thing has been happening to the other people who live with me for years, but not to me so I always rolled my eyes at it when they'd bring it up. At one point, I even began to think there was some sort of mental illness involved, even though the chances of three people living together (one not even related) all having undiagnosed schizophrenia is ridiculous. But I had no other way to explain it. Then it happened to me finally as well and well... there went that. But yeah, it comes and goes without warning. Sometimes it's worse than other times (this last time was the worst). 

As for it being constantly repeatable, I think it isn't because whatever is behind it has its own mind, so to speak. I mean, think about it. Suppose you or I or both of us were a spirt or whatever. If we decided to mess with people, for whatever stupid reason, eventually we would achieve our intended goal or we'd just get bored and find something else to do. I think that's what happens a lot of times. This thing, or whatever it is, comes... does whatever its set out to do, then splits. I also think, since it's clearly intelligent (ours literally communicated with us), that it's not stupid enough to get caught. I bet you if I set out to capture it, it wouldn't allow itself to be seen. It would stay silent and wait, or go away.

But anyway, I think next time it starts happening, I'm actually going to try to capture something anyway. Not for anyone else's sake (no one will believe it's real anyway), but for my own.
