"It has to be a ghost," Mr Bundy, 43, said. "There is no other explanation."

There you have it. Mr. Bundy knows there is absolutely NO OTHER explanation.

A bar I used to frequent in San Jose was supposedly haunted, and twice I saw my beer slide several inches for no apparent reason. I thought mebbe I was just seeing things, but my ex saw it move as well on one of those occasions. Ain't saying it was a ghost, but I could never figure out what caused it. Others who hung out there say that shiat like that would happen to them as well.

I've also seen too much weird shiat to blame on streetlights. Yes, while stone cold sober.
Lived in an old house in Massachussetts that the other renters swore was haunted. I laughed at them and rolled my eyes until I'd lived there for about a week. Then they were laughing at me.

was it on a coaster? otherwise I would say condensation under the bottle/glass + smooth bartop = sliding beer. But, who knows.

I had wierd shait happen in the house we bought last year, The first night we were there I swore I heard two women talking, it was really , really faint. My wife and I had just gone to bed and it was totally quiet in the house, no tv or radio on anywhere and at first I thought it was just my imagination but then my wife said she heard it too.

another time I was sitting at the Pc and something hit the desk, my wife was sitting on the bed reading so I thought it was her messin with me and throwing stuff. I turned and asked why she was throwing stuff at me and she swore she didnt do anything.

then yet another time, my stepdaughters boyfriend was walking through the living room and he grabbed his stomach and said it felt like something just burned him, all of a sudden he has a small burn mark on his stomach, that happened about 6 months ago and the mark is still there.

Also a few weeks later the stepdaughters bf walked out of the bedroom and somehow the ceiling light fixture came loose and landed on his head, it smashed when he put his arm up to try and stop it and he ended up with a nice big slice down his arm.
how that thing unscrewed and fell down at that exact moment is beyond me.

HowlingFrog: muck4doo: A bar I used to frequent in San Jose was supposedly haunted, and twice I saw my beer slide several inches for no apparent reason.

I believe in ghosts too, but, yeah, I agree that the beer might've been hydroplaning. We had a bench at home that used to do that all the time, as soon as enough condensation collected under the glass/can/bottle, it'd slide a few inches. Creeped people out who didn't know what was going on.

In my last apartment we'd have things disappear and reappear months later. My parents, husband and I were all standing in the kitchen by the table when my mother knocked a single sheet of paper (an ad for something) off under the table- sitting in the middle of the room, no table cloth, no leaves, no reason not to be able to find it. I joked as it fell that we'd never find it now, and we never did. The paper literally disappeared between the trip from the tabletop to the floor. We eventually pulled the stove and fridge out to look under them. I always wondered if one day I'd come home and see it sitting in the middle of the floor, but never did.

could that video possibly be any blurrier?
Perhaps you should smear vaseline across the lens.

I've had my wine carafe unstopper itself several times through the course of my life. Usually accompanied with a loud pop and the stopper winds up perfectly on the table touching nothing else, no matter how cluttered the table is. one of these things (new window) with a plastic cap that you can get from a can of baking soda. But the thing is it almost always happens when it's full, like some ghost is telling us "let the wine breathe, dammit".

What could be different between a cold beer and a warm shot in a hot, humid atmosphere, something that is slippery?

Oh come on, at least make them hard to figure out.

I read that first line as" my pants" vs. "my parents." Made it waaaaaay more interesting.

The rest of them are spooky. This one, not so much. If the light fixture fell right at that moment, I suspect the darn thing had been unscrewing itself for a long time due to the vibrations from ordinary life, i.e. people walking around, music playing, cars driving by, etc. When he walked under it, that was the last straw. The screws loosened, and down came the light fixture.

We had the same sort of thing happen, only to the ceiling, in my mom's house. Too much plaster, and it came down like a bomb one morning just after my (now) ex-husband walked through the dining room. Scared the wits out of all of us. But definitely not paranormal.

I grew up in a Shaker house in Louisville KY. The floors were all teak, and it was a really nice house. Every once in a while the throw rugs would move on thier own across the floor. I remember coming home one day after school and looking up to the window that was my room, and seeing a girl looking down at me, dressed in 1920's apparel. I am really sensitive to it now, I can tell if a place is haunted just by walking in. We shoot a lot of movies in an old mental hospital, they used to do shock treatment, lobotomies and there were lots of suicides there. My farking radar goes off the map whenever I go there. I'm not saying ghosts are real, but the way I feel about it is there is a temporal gap, time must be more elastic than we think it is...

corporate mustache:

The way I look at is, our brains are an electrical device. So what if there are places that emit some sort of electrical signal that tamper with your noodle?

I don't believe in ghosts, either. But I have lived in at least one house where an awful lot of very weird things were observed by all of the members of my family. The place had a rep for weirdness. I went back to show my wife the place, and there was a family living there that started spilling their guts about all of the weird things they saw and heard there. Of course, I never said a word about anything we observed. So that kind of proved it to my wife.

I think it's very possible that these places that we think are "haunted" are somehow just very electrically active in a spectrum that affects our brains and makes us think we're seeing and hearing things that may not actually be occurring.

Anyway, just an idea. Now who's the moonbat? ;-P

Sometimes my house just starts shaking. The whole thing vibrates and sometimes some dust will even fall from the ceiling. Lights shake and you can see ripples in a glass of water. If I didn't live near train tracks that would really freak me out.

 
okami36 2009-02-28 10:54:13 AM  
The only thing spooky/scary about that video was the sudden appearance that Grizzly Adams looking guy.

I live in a haunted house too. Our landlord's daughter and grandaughter (who used to live on our side of the duplex, before moving to the nicer side) would often hear people on the stairs (on both sides). We've heard lots of traffic on the stairs as well, but always just assume it's them. Granted they often weren't home during the day, but it was also possibly her father doing some remodeling over there.

My wife and I have seen shandows moving around. She was pushed down the stairs once. We've had objects disappear and reappear. the best one was my pocket knife. I used it in the kitchen to open a package, then set it on the counter. 30 seconds later, it was gone. I got it back a few days later when I was sitting on the crapper, discovered the roll was empty, so I reached into the package of TP under the counter. My knife was inside one of the rolls.

Sections of my workplace also feel like they're haunted, but I suspect that is more likely because of poorly shielded electrical lines than an entity watching me do my late night rounds.

 
WarpZone 2009-02-28 11:28:49 AM  
its funny how people think it must be a ghost because "we only saw it after we looked at the video", when in fact, that definitively proves it wasn't a ghost.

all of your ghost stories are weak and easily explained. You WANT to believe, and that is why you do.

What, like a stetson hat and waistcoat have 'spirits' too and can live on after death and be worn by ghosts?
