I got banned for making fun of ghosts over there. I think some of you may want to check it out. grit your teeth in the face of fear. self repression is the true sign of a coward, toss your inhibitions to the wind.

I've never been beaten by my significant other, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Each to their own on this one. I have had other experiences that made me wonder though. My mother passed away very very recently (July 28th). Does anyone remember the Billy the Bass singing fish thing??? He was mounted on a plaque and would start flopping and singing when you walked by. My parents had one when they lived by the lake. They left there 13 years ago and Billy went into a box in the basement storage locker of the building. The day after my mother passed my bff and I were down there looking for pictures and things for the funeral and found Billy. He kept singing "Don't Worry Be Happy" in a broken up way with batteries at least 13 years old. He starting to drive me a little nuts so I said to Jess "there has to be an off switch on this thing". He wasn't on, and his batteries couldn't possibly still have juice in them after 13 years; they should have been leaking shit everywhere for crap sakes.

There's a theory by Loyd Auerbach that ghosts are almost exclusively found in areas with a lot of human activity as opposed to abandoned areas. http://www.amazon...._cr_pr_product_top http://www.rockymo...rmal.com/lloyd.htm yokes  Location: Toronto Gender: Male I aim to misbehave  |  |  |  Re: Ghost Hunting <Reply # 28 on 9/11/2009 2:45 PM >   Posted by Azubi.UK We do, so why wouldn't they?

It's just the idea that you are surrounded by dead people that lets peoples imagination run wild, I don't expect to see zombies or anything, but if you are looking for a scare nothing beats walking around in a wooded graveyard by yourself at night. Oryx  Location: Who knows :|  |  Re: Ghost Hunting <Reply # 33 on 9/17/2009 4:22 PM >   I actually find cemeteries to be the most peaceful places. As a kid I was brought to so many funerals and I remember hating the ceremony that took place in the church, but very much enjoyed the cemetery. I'd wander around them for hours and look at the different names and designs on the stones. My favorite cemetery dates back to the Revolutionary War era. Sometimes I'd lie on or near one of the graves, drift off to sleep, and try to imagine what that person was like or what life was like back then.

Egypt, crypts under ancient cities such as Paris, Rome, etc. LOTS of people visit these kinds of places DAILY for HUNDREDS of years. You'd think some kind of conclusive evidence would be available by now of "ghosts". Either that or humanity in general is remarkably stupid.
