Give me a break!

I already have too much trouble navigating the droppings so popular with the insane American viewing public.

Why encourage them?

Nutjobs have always been part of the American scene. Now I feel like the kid in Sixth Sense. I see insane people. They're everywhere.

I have none of these things especially hallucination—And when someone in the room can smell the same thing, I believe it..Neither me or my husband smoke ,but we do at times smell cigarette smoke..I did not smell this until my sister died..and yes she smoked..Also when my cat is sitting in my lap and jumps up with her hair on end and looks toward the kitchen for not reason(also my daughters little dog will not go into my kitchen well if she does she immediately puts her tail down and her runs out and hides..the other dogs do not do this....At least if there is something there I always say go away and go to where you are happy.does this make me crazy I do not think so..

[PLD]

I do know that it says that in the bible,but for some reason ever since I was a child I knew when there was something around..I knew I should not do something that other kids did that was not right to do..I do not and have never looked for any kind of spirit..

My house was new when we moved in we built in the country and have a few acres but as far as I know there was no houses here or graves it was a cotten field, besides this has happend almost every place I have lived and that is a lot of places until we retired from the military..This has been around me for as long as I can remember..I don’t want to be bothered so I just say go away..

One voice captured on a digital recorder seems to say, ``We’re trapped here.’’
—”And we’re forced to vote Democrat!”

Though not as frequent as you (PLD), I’ve had a few unmistakable events. (visits) When it happens, there’s a *knowing* involved. There’s no doubt about it. ... yet, like you suggested, there’s really no explaining or convincing those who don’t want to believe it.

Ft.Leavenworth is also very haunted. It was interesting to hear of the many MANY events when my cousin lived on the military base there. Everyone there knows about it but you don’t hear much about it in media/books/stories.

I have known one very sane and well adjusted woman (she was exceptional) in my life who had seen apparitions of dead relatives starting with her early menses cycles.

She is now a full professor of Geology at UT...the one with Town Lake

But the rest of much of this seems like poppycock

I played and fished there 47-55. Worked on property 53-58, there are no frigging Ghosts but lots of BS stories.

When we were living in Brussels Belgium with NATO we went to a political prison camp outside Brussels..Anyway we had to cross a bride one had to cross before going into the building..I had my daughter in her stroller,from the beginning of the walk she was unhappy and would not settle down..You have to know this girl was the sweetest little baby ever born she never complained..Anyway as we walked into the prison she started screaming and crying I felt odd myself and wanted to get out,but we went on,I picked her up and kept her close..When we went in the part where the prisoners were tortured she went into hysterics..well we went out but before we did a man came up to me and ask if we were American and I said yes sir..He hugged me and started crying and said he was a prisoner in that camp and he remembered the day they heard the American planes come over and the America troops come to rescue them ..He made me cry also but he told me no one would ever know what kind of life they all lived in that horrible place..I though then oh yes I do because my daughter let me know..You see my daughter had the same thing I do and can tell when something isn't right or when a person is no good.. Guess what, we are Christians and believe in one God who is in heaven..

I’ve never seen or smelled one but have felt one. Years ago friends of ours who had grown up in the north part of our county took us to an old adandoned house which is now being restored. This was years before they started that. Here is it’s site now:
http://www.forgottenoh.com/Trinway/trinway.html We were told that things might happen but hubby and I weren’t big believes back then. On the 3rd floor in the dark we heard a woosh which was really strange almost like hearing fabric rustle. Then something chilled us to the bone as it passed through us. Mind you this was a hot and humid August day when the temps were hovering near 100 with humidy in the 90% range so getting goose bumps and trembling from the cold should not have happened. We just all 4 sort of stood there asking if anyone else had felt that. It was the srangest thing I’ve ever felt in my life!

Welcome to the home by the sea.

[wizr]

Amen.

That house is beautiful, ..if people do not want these places they should let the state have them and refurbish ..I won’t go looking for spirits I do not have to they find me..

The 444-acre Deering Estate once was the domain of Paleo-Indians, North America's earliest human inhabitants, who lived more than 12,000 years ago.

My 13 acre estate was once roamed by MIAMI indians, who moved into the area around 1700.

[Elsie]

The first people to live in what is now Indiana were the Paleo-Indians, arriving about 8,000-10,000 years ago, after the melting of the glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age.

These people came to North America by crossing the land bridge with Asia.

They hunted large game, including mastodons, and when the large mammals became extinct, they began hunting smaller game, such as bison and deer.

[Elsie]

I never saw any ghosts, though.

But you DID see a female figger - dressed all in WHITE; didn't you?

[Elsie]

...I do know that it says that in the bible...

Oh?

Where?

I want to know it too.

[Elsie]

Anyway we had to cross a bride one had to cross before going into the building..

Dang!

What did that newlywed DO to you?
