Haunted houses

[bluecat*dancing]

After watching "The Conjuring" last night, I've been undecided as to whether houses, or other buildings, are actually haunted. What does everyone think? Are hauntings real or not?

It's real to those who have experienced it..........

My dad seems happy enough to visit

Spoiler

He died in 1957

What does he do when he visits?

I grew up in an old Edwardian house. Once, when I was little - around the age of 6 - I woke up during the night and called out to my mum. A sort of smokey.foggy looking woman's shape appeared in the doorway. When I asked for a glass of water, the shape disappeared which scared the daylights out of me.

For years, in the house I live in now, I used to feel someone gently put a hand on my shoulder , and, often I would wake to find a young girl next to my bed.

Ofcourse, that may or may not be a result of mental illness but who really knows for sure....

Nothing really. Just smiles.   Only found out last year that my daughter saw him

when she was young and found him to be comforting.

Different house, and I never mentioned him visiting. I like to think he's still around.

He was only 46

There are no such things as haunted houses or ghosts, strangely when challenged to provide a teeny weeny bit of proof , there never is any. If you could prove any para-normal event you could claim a few $million or so from that on offer. The money is perfectly safe.

However, I do believe people believe in all sorts of  (unverified  codswallop), and often with no desire to apply any basic research, or logical thought. as to why!
