That just strikes me as very rude. I'd understand driving by and checking it out, but unless there's a big sign stating "Connecticut's official haunted house! Tours at 3, 5, & 7 pm", who in the right mind would go knock on the door?
Would you let some random person in your house because they told you there are ghosts in your basement?

Day 1: WTF, no, go away.
Day 2: WTF, no, go away.
Day 3: Are you retarded? Get off my property.
Day 4: Calls police
Day 5: Begin answering door in underwear, drunk, carrying baseball bat
Day 6: Begin offering the opportunity to be the newest ghost, offer to show them basement, laughing evilly.

Actually, this could be a great money making opportunity for the family that lives there. They could pay off the mortgage early if the movies a hit.

Many people are taught to be superstitious at an early age -- it usually begins in Sunday School.

Doesn't sound like anything a 12 gauge loaded with rock salt won't fix. If they ignore the "no trespassing" signs, they're fair game.

It's a bit unsettling to think about, but 85% of Americans are Christians, and thus believe in ghosts (souls) and a spirit world (afterlife) that they go to. They dress it up in different terminology, but that doesn't make it any less silly.

Ahh, Ghost Hunters on SciFi. Is it just me, or does the programming on SciFi have as much to do with science fiction as the programming on MTV has to do with music?

As for believing in ghosts, remember it's a small leap to believe in a multitude of ghosts if you already buy into a holy one.

Day 10: collect paycheck.

asshatinagetawaycar: "People who have seen them?"

My ex's best friend came from a very superstitious family, and her father would insist to anyone who would listen that he'd seen a ghostly form that had pinned him to his bed/sat on his chest several times, that nobody could tell him ghosts weren't real.

When she mentioned this to me I recognized it right away as sleep paralysis; in a semiconscious state the body is often still paralyzed for its own safety, and unable to understand this, it hallucinates ghosts, demons and whatnot holding the body down.

She presented him with this, and although he wouldn't concede that he'd been wrong, he never told that story again.

 
SpinzGirl 2009-03-22 02:36:26 PM  
Leave the GH team alone, they try harder to debunk hauntings than they do to prove them. And they reveal either way on their show, which is why they are a not-for-profit organization to keep it honest.

That being said, I don't believe in poltergeist type activity, most hauntings are probably just residual energy.

Here's a more likely explanation. Seems unrelated at first, but keep watching.

 
HowlingFrog [TotalFark] 2009-03-22 02:54:12 PM  
I often wonder how many Farkers who scoff at the notion of ghosts and hauntings also believe in an invisible sky wizard.

Hey, just because you've never seen him yourself doesn't mean he's not there.

I think a gift shop is the way to go here. I'd collect dust bunnies from under the bed and sell them as ghost turds.

 
CowboyNinjaD 2009-03-22 03:00:36 PM  
You can tell this is bullshiat because people don't die in funeral homes. Ghost usually stay wherever a person was tragically killed. Everyone knows that.

//family should STFU and just charge admission, like an idiot tax

Sounds like a good time to sell the house. Sell high to some believing idiot!

There are no ghosts. Anywhere.

Ghost Hunting may be absurdly fun, I can understand that, but there just aren't such entities.

Not scary or plain creepy, just the Uncle.

I live not far from Southington and everyone's always known "that house near the cemetery used to be a funeral home and is haunted" but we never did more than drive by the place.
Knowing Ed and Lorraine Warren were involved (fruitcakes; I've met them) makes it even more unlikely that anything ever really happened there.
I feel bad for the people who live there. The movie looks like it sucks, although it will do great around here because it's set locally (not filmed here though). Then it will die down back into obscurity.
