I'm going to pull a big Fox Mulder and just say I want to believe, but has anyone here any strong feelings for or against the existance of ghosts or psi phenomena in general? Especially with creepy fun stories to go with them? PS- anyone here go to Duke or the University of Edinburgh. If the answer is yes, any inside info on their respective paranormal research centers?

A few friends tease me and most people don't understand it, but I am a firm believer in paranormal activity.

A story? Hmm..Well, before moving to Korea I lived in a "haunted" area of my city, a place that plays on all the paranormal activity that occurs. It's even named after the man who wrote the tale of the Headless Horseman. Anyway, there are house tours offered of the most haunted establishments, books, readings, photographs, etc. You had better believe that Halloween is a riot (and I'll be returning home just in time)!

Anyway, I was renting a house there and was fairly certain it was haunted based on a few minor things. I also just "had a feeling." My fiance strongly disagreed with me and one night we got to talking about it. Not even 5 minutes after the conversation ended, I watched the kitchen table chair (loudly) move about 2 feet toward my fiance and bump against his own chair. He believes me, now.

Aren't most physicists in agreeance these days that there probably exists something like ten dimensions of reality, and it's the ones beyond the fourth where so-called "paranormal activity" takes place?
Me? Well, I've always found the fact that people are attracted to Helen Hunt to be quite a spooky phenomenon.
We actually have a "wall of mystery" in our neighborhood. Every month the city council blasts the graffiti off it, but during the witching hours of the night something unworldly goes on because by sunrise the graffiti has mysteriously re-appeared.

Believing in ghosts is the product of confused, muddled thinking.

But I wouldn't sleep alone in a haunted house.

No.

I'm agnostic about ghosts, I'm not 100% sure about them. Not sure about what they are either. The city that I'm living in right now is supposed to be quite haunted, there are ghost walk tours that you can take around town (mostly the historical parts). Quite interesting, even if you're not sure about ghosts, it's fun!

There's only one ghost out there and He's the Holy Ghost come to bring you to the Father.

I believe in ghosts. I was raised in a mildly haunted house. It is a very old farm house in rural Michigan, first built in the 1830's as a one room log cabin and slowly added onto into a two story, 5 bedroom, old house. Ever since I was very small my brothers and I, and my parents but to a lesser degree, had small instances of strange happenings. Bumps in the night, wind indoors, chills, etc. As my brothers and I moved into adolescence, (some people say the energy from young people is the actual haunting), the force became stronger. There is one particular place, in the bedroom at the end of the hall, that just feels bad. I can't explain it any more that that but it's true. My oldest brother slept on the couch downstairs for about three years as opposed to spending the night in his bedroom. He was pinned to his bed, shaken awake, and just all around harassed by an invisible force. Many visitors to the house have felt strangely. Boot steps up two flights of stairs, laughing, and one apparition of a middle-aged man sitting on the main hearth. I know this probably isn't conclusive evidence to anyone who doesn't believe, and it's not intended to be. The most convincing aspect to me was watching a big, brave dog set his heels and refuse to walk down that hallway to a room I knew was empty. Watching pets react to the footsteps and wind can be interesting to be sure. I have one other more active/scary experience from Northern BC, but I have written too much for now. I'll try to post it later if this thread lives.

something is happening on this earth which isn't all that it seems..

My first and only experience in something spooky. I was studying in France, Renne, and I lived (for 1 month) in an old house with two others. We were planning a project together and then all of a sudden we heard someone/something racing up and down the stairs. We all ran in the bedroom to hide but nothing was there.

Once I heard a rapping on the window and I knew it had to be a ghost. It was a branch from a tree swaying in the wind.

Another time the lights flickered and I just knew a ghost had to be lurking. It was a power surge.

Of course, that was back when I was about 4 - 7 years old.
