no problem, its just that you could express it a whole lotta shorter :)

beware, the people who run it are a bit sketchy

nah - never seen anything like ghosts, never felt anything like ghosts - I think people see/feel/hear what they want to see because it helps them believe in a nonexistant afterlife.

I live in a 100+ year old building, been long distance hiking alone, and wandered through many many cemetaries at night. nada.

maybe you ARE the ghost

don't worry, i'm very seasoned in dealing with sketchy folks.

by the way. i just woke up completely drenched in cold sweat and my cat is acting very bizarrely...i woke up because he was yelping very very loudly and erratically and for absolutely no apparent reason, will not STOP biting at or licking the base of his tail, will not stop staring at me. if i talk to him or yell at him to stop it he will look straight at me in the eyes and not even fucking blink which is not normal behaviour for any cat.

I am so glad that it is 12 am in the morning again

well now the sun's come up and he's back to normal again
that was a little too weird for me
i had to go hide in my room

it must be ghosts!

:rolleyes: no. all i said was that it was really weird especially given to certain circumstances that i will not disclose.

and you weren't there. shut up. this is why i don't ever talk about anything like this is because people think i'm crazy and i don't want to deal with it.

^^^My Dad believes (seriously) that animals can "see"/sense spirits in people that us humans can't pick up on - whether it be in us or someone else...your cat may have "seen" a certain aura within you/your apartment that spooked/puzzled it....maybe...

i think that too. i have always thought that.
i've always been able to feel bad or negative energy/vibes or whatever you want to call it if it's around. and when you say that people think you're fucking nuts because they're ignorant.

You're not nuts. There are lots of things that can't be explained yet.
I just don't think that what you're feeling is the spirits of people that have died.

i don't either. although i am living in the apartment of a dead man, but that has nothing to do with it. it's just bad vibes coming from everywhere.

Cantanky - It's to doing with monotheistic/atheist traditions of denying spirtuality - I mean, I'm totally atheist with regards to Xtainity/Islam yada yada yada, but I believe that there are paranormal/psychic events out there that cannot be "explained" by science/logic. There are forces/spirits in this world that can be very helpful or destructive, and need to handled with the greatest care and resepct - you may well have a more sensitive/direct psychic disposition to "feeling" those spirits.....the Tibetan Buddhists also traditionally practise both "white" (ie healing) and "Black" (destructive") magic - there are certain Tibetan chants on "new age" CDs that are actually called Mahakala prayers, specifically used to create plagues...sometimes people really need to know what they're messing with...

i know all about those things, i've been interested in/practising things like that since i was twelve years old. people really do need to watch out and tread lightly around things like that, especially if they don't know what they're doing (i don't even think ouija boards should be sold in toy stores but that's just me..)

They sell Ouija boards in toy stores in the US??? Bloody hell!

To lighten the tone a bit, here's a bit of theme-related YouTubeage:
