No prob. You give him hell rc

If you cut through a lot of bovine scatology I do think ghosts, for lack of a better term, exist, though what they are is the real question. Why they wear clothes though is something I don't get, unless clothes themselves have souls that continue on in the afterlife. I know I've caught almost sentient attitude before off things I've worn, especially shoes that have seemed out to get me, so maybe it's possible. Trevor's underwear is probably harboring some primordial life forms, after all.

Pretty much 99% of the board is hijacked by the same drama anyways so who cares at this point.

Doing okay, Gabriel? Your vesicle situation you mentioned you were getting treated?

 When I was a kid-I was 6, so it was in 1968, I was in a field that teenagers used as an oval race track. And my brother Mike was at the edge- and he was hollering something. Ma told us not to play out there. Not because kids drag raced out there, it was because it was filled with copperhead snakes ( which it was), but it was haunted. Like we gave a f**k. We ran wild. Anyway, Mike was yelling at me from the end of the field- so I ran towards him. But I stopped to ask the girl with blue framed glasses and pig tails who out of nowhere was running beside me where the f**k she came from. But she wasn't there.
Now- I would put this on a little kid imagination shelf except for ONE thing.
When I caught up to my brother Mike, he asked me- "Where did that girl go?"
THAT has stuck with me my whole life.

Next Tuesday is the day of my operation, for now I'm doing fine, didn't had any other episodes of discomfort. 
My watchlist for the week of recovery includes BASKET CASE, BRAIN DAMAGE, NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, and SLEEPAWAY CAMP.

I've heard of Basket Case but not the others. (I am this site's village idiot when it comes to bad movies.)

Good vibes and best wishes your way for Tuesday. I'm sure you'll be back with us in no time. Plus I bet they'll give you some groovy drugs.  

I think medicine is good in Argentina. Some man I know had a liver transplant in B.A. and spoke highly of the doctors and nurses there.

I've often thought of that encounter of yours, RC, and it's amazing.

I've posted my one and only inexplicable incident on here often enough so I can't discount other people's experiences, especially one that sounds "right" like yours does, but what seems kind of funny now is how I was so focused on trying to be a scientific rationalist in 1995 when it happened that I went into mental contortions to explain it as a time shift instead of using the "g-word" lol.

All great films. Watch and learn and have lotsa fun!

My sister and her husband told me last weekend they have a ghost 'haunting' their apartment. The spirit was brought on by my sister's daughter, who thinks she caught the attention of a ghost playing with a ouija board some years ago. The ghost was first at my niece's place, she confirmed sightings of a shadowy entity in her apartment. She believes the spirit followed her when she visited her mother and her husband.

My sister isn't too pleased about the 'unwanted guest'. They first heard strange noises at night coming from the living room. Now they hear noises in their bedroom. My niece suggested burning sage and pouring salt to get rid off the ghost. I told my sister to put up a cam at night to check for paranormal activity. Not sure what they are going to do but I'll post updates if any at all.

Did you convince her to put up a camera?   That would be cool to see! 

I'm going to a paranormal event on Saturday with my daughter.. Yes - I'm actually going out and doing something social!  With people!  That I don't know!  And ghosts!  That I don't know!  I have high hopes!  Most likely I'll end up not talking to anyone and staying far in the back feeling out of place, but maybe not!  Hopefully I will have a cool update too!

I knew a girl, her name was Lori. She usta belong to some local 'Ghost Hunters' club thing.
I thought it was pretty goofy.

I have a new one to add, told to me just today by someone with whom I work.

This person lost her older brother, Barran, in combat just over eight years ago, and in her country it is a tradition one month after the funeral to gather the family together and eat the favorite foods of the person who has been lost. This is seen as a joyful celebration of a lifetime to counterpoint and conclude the mourning of loss that the funeral itself represented.

She said this meal was held in her parent's flat, which sat on ground level directly off the street  in a city, and afterwards she and her mother had finished drying dishes and putting them away and as she and her mother were sitting on a sofa talking alone then right after dark, slight evening light still on the edge of the sky, both she and her mother looked outside and through the window saw this woman's older brother, whose death they'd just marked, standing in the street staring in at them.

Each reacted as one, springing up and rushing to the door but when they got to the street there was no one there and nowhere for anyone to dash off to and hide for half a block either way.

She said if she had seen this by herself she might have discounted it but for her mother to see it at the same second and react exactly the way she did has left her believing ever since that she and her mother saw their loved one looking in on them before passing on to wherever he was going.

And the way she said all this, confiding and shy but firm, I do believe she is not inventing this account.

I ain't saying there is no such thing as haunted houses. I been in enough to know that they exist.
I just ain't gonna jump to conclusions on what causes it- or all that stupid ghost hunter junk- which is 99 percent hype.
