Quote: I generally believe that the universe is so big and time so vast that obviously there are going to be plenty of things that can happen that don't happen regularly on any scale we tend to acknowledge... and so I try not to just write off an observation as someone being obviously mistaken because what they say happened would be considered "impossible". A few things about ghost reports that interest me: 1. Ghosts generally wear clothes. That's got to mean something. 2. Ghosts that are said to walk on the anniversary of their death seem to have mostly converted to the Gregorian calendar. 3. The relationship between haunted sites, underground water and tectonic activity seems worthy of further investigation, given our understanding of how electromagentic activity can affect our perceptions. 4. A recent survey suggested that people are more likely to see ghosts of the opposite sex, and that male ghosts were more likely to be seen to the percipient's right and female ones to the left; if true this is very strange. Quote: I'm not going to want to go poking around the creepy abandoned house at night. Sure, that place isn't *really* haunted... but I think I'd stay where it's light and safe just the same.I've done a few daft things when younger, including a midnight graveyard search for a barghest (a traditional phantom dog in Yorkshire folklore). I once slept the night in a ruined "haunted house" (with Shep actually) but while the place was pretty creepy we didn't actually find any spooks. Plenty of spiders though. | |||||||
