Well I dont really believe in ghosts, even after what happened to me. If your story is legit then there really couldnt be any other explanation. I'm able to cope with what happened to me by convincing myself it was an animal, even though I know deep down it wasnt. Or maybe it was...I'll never know for sure so using logic I'll just assume it was. ;)

Thats cool. I live with it by accepting what happened and making sure it never happens again, if I can. Hence paying attention to the funkiness next time.

I had my own experience at Stull, before the church was torn down.

That place truly is a gateway to hell....

Lazlo on 96.5 yesterday was talking about when he lived in an converted old funeral home, and it was supposedly haunted. He would shower where they used to clean the corpses, and there were baby-sized coffins in the basement.

The part that kinda creeped me out was when he described re-doing the dry-wall in one of the rooms. They tore out the old stuff, and underneath was a bunch of crayon drawings, as if "a group of kids was left in the room for a long time, and they just doodled everywhere". Shit like 'Hi mommy' and stuff like that.

He also said he got slapped in the face by a ghost.

Wow, didn't expect this kind of response. What amazes me is the arrogance of people who judge other peoples experiences like everyone is fool except for them because they are so smart and truly understand what they are.

What I find common is people ignore what they have been told doesn't really exist. In some cases they will force themselves to ignore it or come up with some other excuse as opposed to accepting what really happened for whatever it was. Thus only children or dogs seeing spirits or ghosts. They don't know they are supposed to not believe in ghosts or OBE's or ESP or what some would amount to MagicK.

We don't know every ****ing thing about life and we sure as hell don't know jack shit about death except how to get dead. Anyone who says factualy there are no ghosts, spirits, afterlife, etc. may be right. But in my book they are no more closer to the answer then someone who does believe in such.

I'm a bit of a lurker but couldn't resist replying to this one...

1) The OP's quoted link is from The Sun. Therefore by definition it's not real

HOWEVER I am a beliver in some form of afterlife, but one must ask, if ghosts are real, out of the trillions of forms of life that has died since day one, why are only a handful visible in the real world? Must be a pretty interesting set of circumstances required to make one a ghost at death, huh?

Nah, ghosts are fiction, all of them. Maybe the dead do inhabit the same dimensional planes as us, but I don't think they're visible, at least by us of them.

Creepy thought that they could be watching you at night though....:eek:

Can you expand on funkiness? You said that you had never had it until you cleaned the house for the first time. Was it physical, emotional, or something totally different?

I don't wan't to hijack the thread but Carlota's experience is interesting.

It was a feeling that someone was right behind me, or around me, watching me. I kept looking over my shoulder, or in the instances when I was in the shower, I would pull the curtain back to see who was standing there. No one was ever there. One time, I could feel the presence in my car.

basically the feeling that someone was there, but you couldn't see them. it's a creepy feeling for sure.

No, what?

I certainly don't have any trouble believing that the doorway to hell is in Kansas. :)

I had a good friend pass and would get the same feeling for a short period of time after he had died. It's like you could hear him talking to you in your head or feel a chill when he passed through you. One time I went to the restroom and there was a shower curtain in there. I could hear him say "it's like you could just reach out and touch me". I pushed open the curtain and of course there was nobody there. I could hear him laughing in my head. The girl he was with when he died was with me at the house that day. I told her what happened and she said he does that to me all the time like it was no big deal. I thought I was losing my mind.
