I don't know, only if I had other people there and was sure that the place was, ehm, just getting used for that kind of stuff.

I dont like the idea of going into some dark, abandoned place that any old person can just stroll into. You know, like crazy hobos or whatever. :D

Well yeah, I'd want to make sure it wasn't open for people to come in and rape and pillage, and it would be nice to have someone around so you could make them investigate the noise when you're too tired ;)

Exactly. Or, like, I wouldn't like just roaming through a place that's all old and crumbly. Seems like an accident waiting to happen! :D

But if it was all totally safe and I had a group of people that wouldn't laugh at me when I screamed.....then, hell yeah! ;)

Well it can't be totally safe, or else it's no fun! There has to be the slight old crumbliness or dark creepiness of a haunted place! That's what makes it better, because even if nothing really is happening, your brain will create stuff for you to hear and see! *squee!*

Can't you tell I lurve scary movies?! Very few things are like that adrenaline surge when you're scared;)

Hee!! You're just a crazy adrenaline junkie!! :D

I've wondered if where I'm living now is haunted. It DID used to be an old mill. I'm sure some bad stuff happened here.

Part of the reason I'm really into it is because (and I get lots of shit for it if I tell people who are unbelievers) I've lived in two haunted houses, and spent many summers in another one (my grandmothers.) Of course real haunted houses often don't have something happening all the time, just enough so you know it's not coincidence.

I've never had anything like that happen to me, then again I haven't been in that many known haunted places before. :roll:

Of course, I might not be "sensitive" to that sort of thing. Which is kinda dissapointing, so I hope that's not true!! :D

What kind of stuff have you seen?

I've never seen anything, that's what I hope to have happen one day! My sister has seen one (full bodied,) she has ALL the luck! (So has my grandmother. Neither of them believed in them, until they saw her, and yes, it was the same one, years apart with my grandmother never saying anything until my sister did.)

But lots of sounds, sensations (like feeling something sit on the corner of your bed when you're sleeping, and you're alone in the house) the "I'm not alone/being watched" feeling.
The sounds were sometimes just footsteps, occasionally hearing water running in the house I grew up in, knocking (as in, I was alone and someone kept insistently knocking on my bedroom door,) distinctly hearing cabinets swing open and the whole procession of noises of someone getting out a glass and pouring something to drink. Uhm, a bunch of other sounds, but it would take a lot of room to write it all!

Dude, that's crazy!! I wonder if I've ever had an experience like that and just wrote it off as normal.

There's an abandoned mental hospital in the area that kids go to all the time on Halloween. I've never done it, cause, well, it's protected..there's security out there all the time, and, uhm, I've seen pictures on the internet (Norwich State Hospital, if you're interested)...and the place looks seriously unsafe.

We should go ghost hunting some day!

Definitely ghost hunting! WOOT!

Yeah, I think I come from a sensitive family on my mothers side, we all trust our instincts... but I've had times when I can't imagine shrugging off a sensation of there being someone in the room with me, because it almost feels like how it does when someone's trying to stare you down and you're trying to ignore it (like the LG15 proving science wrong!) or it feels like you're bracing to get bumped into or even spoken to. I'm sure it sounds crazy to most people, but you just feel it, and it's scary and exciting and gives me goosebumps every time! A few times I've gotten the feeling that it was influencing what I was feeling emotionally, like suddenly I'd feel that something was in the room, and I'd be really confused, but it wasn't like it was me being actually confused. *sigh* That sounds crazy, but that's how it feels.

Oooo, I'm gonna go look up that hospital! I think that even if none of it is real, and I'm just tricking myself into feeling and seeing things, who cares? I believe, and it makes life more mysterious and interesting, and it's not like it's something that affects my worldview or my ability to function in life. I think I've gotten the "you must be stupid and gullible" response from people too much, can you tell? :roll:

Aww!! I dont think it's stupid OR gullible. I think it's sensitivity...and cute as a button!! ;)

I gather there have been a few different "ghost hunters" that have gone into the hospital. The pictures are rather creepy, with old files and beds and whatnot. There's one pic out there of an old nasty child's toy that's kinda freaky looking.

And you're damn straight, who cares if none of it is real? Honestly, how is your belief in something like that damaging someone else?

I dont think you're crazy at all. You're just sensitive and perceptive.

Ooooh. Even though i'm kind of a skeptic, I love eerie stuff like that. I think I'm always kind of looking for things that most likely aren't there, but it's fun for me.

Except for when I spook myself and cant get to sleep :oops:

Hee! I've done that before too. Where your mind just races and it wont stop. :shock:

I'm kinda freaking myself out looking at these photos. Can you say overactive imagination? :D

Hehe, I'm cute as a button *happy dances, which is interesting in bed*
What makes me laugh are the ones where it's the obviously fake haunted, like the Fear show on MTV and the one with the families where they do all these wierd tasks (I think it was on ABC Family) because it's good TV. I don't think it's real at all, they're messing with the people for the show, and it's entertaining to see their reactions. Some of the crazy stuff I've seen on those I think would make me lose it (the silly stunts like "hey, get locked in the morgue drawer for one hour!") but if you don't pee your pants from that you're insane.
