I suspect that this entire thread is fulfilling a need of yours, the need to be paid attention to, and the need to be argumentative.

Hope that's working out for you. It's such a delightful story, you might be able to make money optioning it to a local movie producer. Then WE will be the ones looking stupid...

Approximately seven billion people on Earth, not a single irrefutable documented instance of anything supernatural that holds up to scrutiny. Then again, several hundred million idiots are convinced every day that Reiki, acupuncture, therapeutic touch, homeopathy, and chiropractic are actually healing their ills. I should not be surprised.
 
Man, my ignore list seems to have an endless capacity :eek:

You all assume too much. The end of that, then.
 
Don't worry about all the people putting you down cheese. People on MacRumors do that a lot. It's normal.

Personally I would be very interested if you could get real evidence because I have an open mind.

As far as being afraid of these "spirits" I wouldn't be. They can't harm you. They have no power over you. All they can do is mess with your mind IF you allow it.

Tell them to go away. Be forceful. Show them who's boss.

This will help you and your friends a lot.

AND. Leave that gun stored and unloaded.
 
It's 8pm without a single occurrence today. It seems that as soon as I began to actively pursue these...things, they've begun playing chicken.

Of course I'm uhscared, humans fear the unknown. I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of what's in it.

Now that I am certain that the voices and sounds are not intruders, I can sleep easy tonight, but I will be actively listening because...it isn't every day you experience something outside of science's explanation :D

I can't imagine what I'm going to do if I catch something on tape ^.^
 
Heres what I dont understand.

You claim a previous house was evil. Ive heard of evil people. People doing evil things. But how can an inanimate object be evil, unless deep down you do believe in the devil, demons, and the like. Your a bit contradictory as you state you dont believe in the devil, demons, ghosts, and the like, but this previous house is evil? Care to explain?

Just to get this out of the way, I do believe in things that go "bump" in the night. I have seen things that cant be explained as well. So Im not criticizing. Although I have not seen anything "evil" since I came to believe in a Higher Power.

Secondly, Haunted Houses in Texas are few an far in between. We simply don't have the "ancient" history like the east coast has had where the majority of hauntings occur in the US. Do you know the history of this house? When was it built? Who lived their previously? Any catastrophes?

Evil as in, I feel as though something has intent to harm, be it Hitler or Pirate ghosts, I had reason to believe something inside that house was trying to harm us.

I don't believe in all that storybook nonesense, I use the word "god" to describe nature and natural processes, the same way "acts of god" is acceptable in contracts :p As well I describe the house as evil because I did feel as though SOMETHING, not ghosts, that I could not explain was trying to harm us and I can't find a more fitting word than "spirits" and "evil".

I don't believe in ghosts, so the house's history has nothing to do with it.

How do you know they weren't ghosts before they became pirates? LOL
 
Doubting me again? Listen, if you've seen Beetlejuice, a highly accredited documentary I might ad, you understand that your role in life becomes your eternal role in death. Career changes are out of the question for ghosts.

indeed this theory discounts the thousands maybe millions of Native Americans that have walked the entire continent since the migrations across the Berring land bridge tens of thousands of years ago. i suppose all these godless heathens are all trapped in hell.
 
You people are missing the most important aspect.

Answer this, TAPS, do people have spirits?
-of course, that's what ghosts are
Do ghosts have clothes?
-of course, many reports involve such claims of...
So clothes have spirits too?
-uh...
I mean...if dead people are walking around in civil war outfits...either their clothes are trapped between wool hell and silk heaven or you're full of it
-well...you see an emotional attachment to such things as clothes

why don't we hear a whole lot of reports of native American hauntings? there were a whole lot of them we should be seeing spirits all over the place. tens of thousands of years worth in fact

Beetle Juice? Seriously?...

Because indians lived in the woods, they're clearing frightened by auto-mo-biles and how-ses.

And now this thread has gone downhill even further then it was before and I AM CONVINCED this is a grab for attention imo

You realize Native Americans didn't live soley in the woods, they too built houses and communities.

They didn't all live in teepees....

I don't believe in ghosts, so the house's history has nothing to do with it.

So evil according to you is just an intent to harm? So a rattlesnake coiled up is evil? A wild animal protecting its young from you is evil? A bus running over you because you failed to look, is that evil?

You cant have it both ways. Either you believe in the supernatural or you dont. Your straddling the fence.

Although you dont believe in ghosts, the history of the house may be able to guide you in your quest. These "people" talking around you may have names that you can call out and "discuss" issues. Yet you dont believe in these "people".

I dont believe alot of people in the world and on this forum, have brains. Just because I dont believe they have one, does not make it true.
 
The only place you see them today is 7/11's and flea markets. Sadly they're NOTHING like the deeply spiritual wise people that respected nature, now they wear cheap gold jewelry and drive Hundai's.

For the last time, there's no such thing as ghosts. The voices I'm hearing are not "remnants of a past of turmoil" they're generated by something I don't understand but ghosts are just far from possible when you consider there is no such thing as a "soul".

So the logicalconclusion is...............?

You see you assume it is some time of entity but then discount a soul.

To me those things do not go hand and hand since all the actions you describe are that of a person (aka ghost/Spirit)

To believe there is no such thing as a soul but then have actions that ask like a dead human seem not to add up.
 
I can believe the world is here and exists...without believing a god created it...
