| | | | I don't think a lot of the people here are really into the whole "haunted" house thing. After you go to dozens of places that are supposed to be haunted and don't see anything, you kind of stop believing.
It's like the line from the X-Files, "I want to believe," but it's hard to find anything that can make you believe.
And at last I resolved to scale that tower, fall though I might;
Since it was better to glimpse the sky and perish,
Than to live without ever beholding the day. |

UER.ca is a great tool for sharing information about abandoned buildings, but I find the best resource for paranormal phenomenon is outside of the exploring realm:
http://paranormalg...ciety.org/main.asp
This is the only site I use for those interests.

| | | | I think it actually works in reverse. If you contact local paranormal societies, that might be able to give you a heads up on locations.
I envy paranoids; they actually feel people are paying attention to them.

I've been to the organized ghost hunts at the Mansfield Reformatory in Ohio a couple of times. I had a great time, but didn't experience anything I'd consider paranormal. I did catch something on video that looked like a person walking into one of the cells a few dozen feet in front of me, and there was no one there. I should look at it again on a bigger TV.
Unfortunately, there were so many people there that having some quiet time to do anything serious is almost impossible. I enjoyed eavesdropping on the armchair psychics, though: "Jimmy's here, and he's not happy!" ("Scott's also here, and he's laughing his ass off!")
I'm a major skeptic, though. I know a lot of people who think every strange noise or weird spot on a picture is a ghost, but I'm just not convinced. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and I just haven't seen it. Do I believe? It doesn't matter. If you're investigating something scientifically - as paranormal investigations should be - your own beliefs shouldn't enter into the equation.
OK, off the soapbox. Dinner time.

| | | | Yea ive been to a lot of places and hardly experienced anything. Main reason why i laugh at the ghost hunters show, i just like to see where they go.
I was at Skillman once and heard footsteps about a floor under us because of how loud they were and we were also by the stairway. No light no nothing coming from the floor. Wasnt anybody i was with and it was only one set of them. And also heard some kind of weird noise from a building another night while i was walking back to the car.. Other than that i havent heard anything at all while exploring.

I like Ghost Hunters because they DON'T think every noise they hear is a ghost. On all the other shows (Paranormal State, Most Haunted, Ghost Adventures, and that one on Cartoon Network whose name escapes me) all think that everything's haunted: "Did you hear that sound like a car driving by?!?!?! It's a ghost car!!!" Or everything's some demonic, inhuman entity out to destroy the world.

I've actually heard about a lot of spooky things happening there. Not from Weird NJ, but from old friends and acquaintances. Never made it there myself, but it is kinda spooky.

I would say the direct opposite. Ghost Hunters SUCKS and i feel they overreact. I can't even get through an episode of GH without getting bored. At the end of paranormal state they usually never definitively say there was ghost activity and they usually do a bunch of research which makes the show much more interesting. Plus I <3 Ryan hahah

| | | | I have felt the presence of things before in some locations I have visited, but I am a skeptic too. Its all in what you feel in your gut.
If you wanna get serious at all about it though, a video camera, and some decent editing software that lets you freeze frames and section audio is what you need. Avid Express is probably the best one for this type of work. Had I a camcorder I would be trying this.

| | | | I met Jason from Ghost Hunters. He came into the shop one day. Probably the biggest douche bag I've ever met in my life. Well, I guess I'd be a miserable bastard if I pretended to be chasing ghosts all day too. And seriously, you aren't a "paranormal expert" - you're a PLUMMER. A PLUMMER DAMMIT!
