Unlikely but I wouldn't disregard one if I saw it.

despite whatever you say being flamebait, I do.

When I was about 10 or 11 something happened that caused one of my action figures to fly 10 feet across my room(I forget how wide my room was exactly). Then one time the bathroom sink turned on by itself, although that could have easily been somebody just not turning off once using it.

I think GHI is a fun show to watch.. I don't know for certain about it's credibility though.
Like when they are speaking english to ghosts who are like in spain and other parts of the world that don't speak english.. Sometimes they do throw out some lines of non-english dialogue.. But it's hard to justify the fact that they are mostly speaking english to ghosts that don't know.. english.
I enjoy watching it though.
A Haunting is also really fun show to watch.


     I think I've seen the show A Haunting.  I think it is the one with the narrator that has a very creepy voice, like the narrator of the one show that used to be about various murder on A & E, and that A Haunting is on the Discovery Channel.  Also these ads they are showing during the GHI commercials for the movie A Haunting in Connecticut that is supposed to be based on true events looks interesting but I don't know what true case it is supposed to be based on.

I don't know either. I can think of two other cases were the asctual hauntins were dramized for movie form:

Ammityville horror

Bell witch huantings (Is this correct?)


     I think the Bell Witch one was called An American Haunting.  I don't know if I support the conclusion it seemd to come to.  There have been a few others.  The Haunting of Hell House based on Richard Matheson's book of the same name and starring Roddy McDowell and Pamela Franklin is an amazing movie.  As is the original The Haunting from the sixties based on Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House.  Though fictional both of those are incredible movies.

    Also, I kind of like Stephen King's Rose Red.  However, I consider it to be a guilty pleasure  (and The Shining was good although I like his original novel of that one the best because of the clock scene and its digging more into the history of Jack Torrance's alcoholism) .

Oh and one thing I hate are double-takes where you would see someone or something, and natural reflex makes you look away for one freakin' second, then when you look back, it's gone. But what you saw was very vivid and real. Mindfucking experiences IMO.


     Yeah.  I know what you mean.  One time I was working at a McDonald's (all McDonald's have a position called maintance man and they wear a blue-striped shirt) as a maintenance man where they said that a former maintenance man had worked there for a number of years, and they sent him out to chop trees at another one of their stores in 100 degree weather, and the next morning his wife found him dead.  Anyway, do to some odd circumstances and noises in the basement of that McDonald's, they said the former maintenance man's ghost haunted the basement.

     Anyway, one truck day (the maintenance men at McDonald's are responsible for unloading the trucks) I was working with the other fellow that I worked with on unloading items off of the truck.  To do that at the older McDonald's you have to stand at the bottom of a slide while the truck driver sends some pretty heavy and large boxes sliding down the slide at you.  While unloading the truck that day and standing at th bottom of the chute, I turned and looked over my shoulder and saw a guy dressed just like a McDonald's maintenance man, so I figured it was my friend that helped me unload the truck, and I turned back to catch the next heavy object off of the truck, and about the time I did I heard my coworker that was supposed to be helping me yell from the other room when are you going to bring me that other box, I've been in here forever.

i'm atheist, yet i believe in ghosts since i've personaly seing some, but i believe them not to be a persons soul, but a manifestation of the persons aura(electromagnetic field) probably caused by a irregularity in the areas magnetic field or one of the present persons, also when one dies in extreme situation(of joy or pain) it is more possible to manifest as a apparition, since the body releases more electric impulses this way.

100% yes. I've seen some things in my day. Still creeps me out thinking about it.

Mothman prophesies too. Excorsist is sort of true



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
