but it's a quirky, clumsy, and slightly naive yet lovable ghost...so you know...it tries to scare you but doesn't really succeed.

I'd rather live in a haunted house then watch a movie starring him and/or Owen Wilson.

There are no ghosts.

Humans need to grow the f♥ck up.

I guess it's time to call the GhostFacers.

He's got phantoms in his house?

Probably just his friend, Billy Zane.

He's a cool guy.

I've had a thing for Christine Taylor since Hey Dude.

This. Very VERY much this.

Oh, and one other thing. How are ghosts living in New York?

Must be a nightmare for those ghosts.

From TFA: "I sort of believe in ghosts, and my wife doesn't; she's afraid of axe murders."

Her fear is more realistic than yours, Ben. You dolt. I'm more afraid of axe murderers than ghosts too. Seeing as how axe murderers actually exist and shiat.

/full retard.

I wish ghosts were real but they're not, dumbass.

Came here to make the same statement.

/What a piece of shiat that was...

Oh good. I'd hate for you to have a haunted house. You'd have to give that shiat away to someone who doesn't believe in ghosts.

Victims of Shaken Man-Child often have this condition.

Just because you haven't experienced a ghost doesn't mean they don't exist. You know, I hate to break it to you but there are a lot of things in the world that you will never experience firsthand. They still exist. At one time people would have thought you were crazy to believe in things like a virus or a molecule because you can't see them with the naked eye.

My grandmothers ghost use to slam windows OPEN in our house. It scared the hell out of my dad. I loved it. Care to explain how a double hung window can slam itself open? I'm going to bed but you think about that.

1. Sleep paralysis. It didn't happen, but you believe it did.
2. Pranksters. You didn't catch them in the act, but they did it.
3. Screwy springs/hinges/what-have-you. Mechanical things can freak out for mundane reasons.
4. You're lying or embellishing. No evidence but hearsay.
5. You imagined it as a child, and it seems vivid because of that.
6. Your father was f♥cking with your head.
7. Vacuum pressure from an oddly-built house.
8. Seismic activity.
9. Powerful wind.
10. Poorly-designed windows.


That's without seeing it. I can debunk any haunting you throw at me. I've done it all my life. I've been in quite a few "haunted" houses, and they either show no signs of haunting when I'm there, or I can find at least a few perfectly logical reasons for all the "haunting" phenomena.

Most of the time, it's the result of the occupants working themselves into a panic and suffering episodes of sleep paralysis, but I've seen plenty of hoaxes that were transparent when you know what to look for, and plenty of people who mistook normal, natural sounds (wind, the boiler, settling houses, the dog, a wind-up toy that hadn't run down completely, etc.) for ghostly happenings.

I've been in more "haunted" places than most people have even heard of. Without fail, they all disappoint me.

I'd love to find one that's real. That's why I did it in the first place. The difference between me and those Ghost Hunter biatches is that I go in expecting nothing and placing the burden of proof on the claimant, while they go into it expecting (and manufacturing) something in order to sell t-shirts, coffee mugs, and advertising space.

Whenever there's a haunting, the first thing to do is follow the money. If it's a tourist attraction, then it's definitely fake. If it's someone who is writing a book about their experiences, then it's fake. If it's someone with a local business who is being very public about their "haunting", then it's fake.

And if it's not money, then it's attention whoring, religious wishful thinking ("If I believe in ghosts then that means there's an afterlife and I will continue to exist after I die.") or plain old stupidity & superstition.

When so many hauntings turn out to be easily-debunked bullshiat, it becomes pretty obvious that there are no real hauntings.

And don't bother replying to my 10 possible causes point-by-point, because it all comes down to whether or not I believe your story. Seeing as all you have is a good tale with a comforting mythology ("grandmother") to back up what you claim, there's nothing you can say that will make me believe it.

Show me clear, non-blurry, full-frame, daylight video of this phenomenon and I'll believe it.

Oh, that's right. Ghosts don't do anything in the daylight. Even Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventure have to walk around in the dark, lest the light scare away the spirits of the dead.

Hehe. Thank you.

"Show me clear, non-blurry, full-frame, daylight video of this phenomenon and I'll believe it."

Video is useless nowadays. I can whip up anything you like with my consumer priced software within a couple hours.

That goes double for still photos.

Ghosts don't exist, sorry. And frankly, I don't like the prospect of dying and coming back as a ghost that is trapped in a house and can only mess with windows and doors. Sounds like a pretty sucky afterlife.
