Ghosts

Post by KoiNoVash » Sat Oct 18, 2003 8:20 pm

Who here believes in ghosts? I certainly do. I have met three that live with me in my dorm hall. This is no joke, I swear on my Sailor Moon mangas that these things really happen once or twice a week.

One is a boy who likes to play with his marbles in the room next to mine during the afternoon, when a noise interrupts him he gets mad and drops ALL of them. He likes messing with the elevators too since that is supposivly where he died.

The second is a young girl who will scream "HELP ME! LET ME GO!" when it gets to quiet outside. My roommate and I hear her constantly and the RA told us that it was girl who was raped, kidnapped, and never found.

The third is a ghost who hangs out in the bathroom. Go in any stall but the third and you will hear the sound of suspenders being undone and dropped on the floor. When I got out I found that there is no one in the stall. It's happened to other people too.

I've heared about more, but have yet to meet them.

I am a full believer. And I wanna meet a ghost...but not an evil one or a poltergeist...

He just makes them not respond to calls and button commands, though it could be because they are getting worn out. I'm not sure how he died. And just a note, it's alot easier to edit your post if you forgot something...

...meh, I'm not sure yet. I believe in an afterlife, but I don't think ghosts are still around, buggin' us over things we're not even responsible for. Then again, I've never had an experience that would convince me of their existence, so...

To tell everyone the truth, I'm afraid of death. I just don't like the unknown. Some people I know believe we have souls, some people I know don't think we do and that we just dissapear. The thought of just dissapearing into nothing really scares me.

I actually have a ghost in my apartment. I named it Charlie to make it feel like yeah I know your here. My friends don't like coming to my apartment at night cause he gets really loud upstairs and it freaks them out. I actually have pictues of Charlie that I took when my husband was deployed last year.

Celexa: As KoiNoVash said..use the edit button. Do not post three different things in a row.
And as for ghosts...I definitely believe. The first house I lived in in Texas was haunted. There were three bedrooms upstairs and two bathrooms..and it was all in a horseshoe shape. The spare bedroom just felt...WEIRD. The dogs didn't even like to go in there. They would growl, whine, and cling to you. We turned it into a store room. At night, I would hear noises in there. When you used the bathroom downstairs (which was right under that room), you could hear walking.
One evening, my mother was loading the dishwasher, and I walked into the kitchen. Right when I walked in, a tupperware container about 4 feet from my mom flew off of the counter and onto the floor. We looked at eachother, and my mom said "what the HELL! I KNEW IT!"
Apparently, my mom knew it was haunted too. She told me about how when she was asleep, she would feel someone shake her awake, and when she woke up, nobody was there. She would feel someone poking her shoulder.
We got used to it, eventually.
When we moved out, this coulpe stopped by to look at the house. An old man went upstairs by himself. About 5 minutes later, he flew down the stairs, saying "You guys got spooks up there?!?!"
Yes. Spooks indeed.

Joey: The question is, Rachel, does he like you? ''Cuz if he doesn''t, then it''s all just a moo point.
Rachel: Huh...a...moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It''''s like a cow''s opinion. It doesn''t matter....It''s moo.

Sorry...I didn't see it until now... :oops:

But what do you guys think happens when you die? Before the 5th Harry Potter book came out, I also believed that you had a choice when you die, to stay on earth or leave. But I guess it's just my own little fantasy to console myself...

I'm not sure what I think. I do have an interest in the paranormal so I've read a lot about them, but I've never seen one and I don't know if I believe in them. I think I believe that they're something behind the phenomenon, but I can't say I really think they're the spirits of dead people walking around. There are other theories. Most researchers believe that poultergeists are actually the psychic ability of a person.

1. Electric Voice Phenomena (sp?) It's what paranormalists use to record sounds of ghosts and other paranormal things, I think it used a special kind of tape recorder

2. I'm not quite sure. But with the EVP tape you can definitly hear something odd, and it freaks me out too much to wanna check it out x_x

Of course, when there's something strange in the neighborhood, you know who to call...

GHOSTBUSTERS!

What's the noise? Is it moaning or laughing or creaking? Because all of it could be your friends...well...let's put it this way:

1. Did anyone who really loved the house or something immidetly outside the house live there?

2. Did anyone die there?

3. Any teens in the house? Because most poltergeists are caused by teens with a lot of stress, so it could be that...

4. How old is the house?

The noise sounds like a mixture of laughing and moaning, it's really hard to explain. And I was there when my friends did it, and they were silent.

1. I'm not sure. The last people who lived here moved to Europe so it's a smidge hard to ask them ^^

2. Not to my knowledge

3. Yo.

4. It's actually not that old. I live in the suburbs, so it can't be more than 50 years old, at most.
