Yes,  in my house there is a ghost living there and just now I think I know why.  Where I live used to be a military base and they would practice shooting and using granades.  What else might have been buried here,  who knows?   I do believe in ghosts but they are not to be afraid of.  Just learn to live with them and you'll be fine.  Who knows,  maybe one of these decades or centuries we will be back as      ghosts!  By the way, one of our neighbors moved because there were ghosts in their house and maybe that ghosts moved to our house because I notice ghosts living here recently way after my neighbors moved!

People have the ability to create "thought forms."  Particularly in groups it is easy to create hysteria as well.  The biggest problem with this data is there's no way to have a control group so its hard to know for certain what was going on.\n\nOn the other hand, Poltergeists are never a "real ghost" they are in fact the manifestations of someone or some thing's latent psychic energy.  Also, Demons are always looking for belief to exploit... the results of this study really don't come as much of a surprise to me. It's a shame they never tried to identify further what really happened.\n\nThanks for sharing! ^^\n\n*added* Epona, I reported you... it's been over 24 hrs and still no response.  My question is, why did people give you two thumbs up for not giving an answer?

I have not encountered one, but I could literaly take a 20 minute walk to a building where I could see them. Waverly Hills is the hospital someone mentioned a few answers back. There was also the "Ghost Hunters" team from the sci-fi channel that caught a couple of glimpses of things that could not be explained, like the thermal resonance of a humanoid figure, about that height, in an empty hall. On the second-highest floor of a 5 story hospital, with all the exits blocked off after that was seen, they couldn't find what made the figure, and the odds of a technical glitch making an exact humanoid figure looking about 4 feet tall are astronomical by any standards.

I am a paranormal investigator.  And while there are a few graveyards with the reputation of being haunted, it is rare.  If you were a ghost, wouldn't you find a graveyard a boring place to hang out? My wife and I investigated a very old and large graveyard in our town and came away from it with a feeling of great peace and respect for those that had passed on and were buried there.  Nothing scary at all.  I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.  Rest In Peace!

I’m an amateur ghost hunter myself. It helps that I grew up around ghosts in my childhood home and in my Grandmother’s house. So, even though stuff would happen all the time, I was kind of used to it. Until my brother took it upon himself to explain to me what a ghost really was and I spent several months when I was 8 years old hiding under the blankets. Thanks for that, Bro. Now, I chase spirits and accidentally let a woman ghost into the house. Which my mother just loves me for...

I think the idea is really, really interesting.  I read a LOT about ghosts and hauntings when I was a kid.  And you can't prove that they don't exist because you can't prove a negative.\n\nHowever, as much as I would love for ghosts to exist, the more I know the more I realize that evidence for ghostly manifestations is probably explainable by non-ghostly, real, but ephemeral phenomena.\n\nFor example, I had a book on ghostly hauntings in England.  There were more scent "hauntings" than any other type, meaning that you would experience the haunting by getting a whiff of pipe smoke or bacon.   This can be explained by the fact that scents can be absorbed by porous materials such as wood and plaster.  After they are absorbed, they will disappear until meteorological conditions,  like high humidity, cause the scent to become airborne and be smellable again.  Given a very porous wall and a long-standing habit like pipe-smoking and you can get whiffs of smoke for geneartions.

Well, actually, what you can call a *ghost* is really a form of energy which manifests itself when one's brain is working at top capacity and thus you can control objects with your mind and such.\nRegarding aliens and UFOs, I think we're not alone in this universe, there's got to be some other lifeforms.

Where are you located?  If you are in Houston, go to the downtown library, not the current one but the old one.  While your there ask about the ghost.  True rumors. They have all kinds of historical data.

Dracula isn't a ghost. He's a vampire. I'm not sure what you're looking for.

I have been looking this up since I saw your question yesterday.  the only name i have come up with is Clara M valentine.  she is the daughter of levi valentine who built the house.  I did find out that there is a male ghost by the name of jon.  I hope this was of some help.  I don't know if clara is the ghost or not, but it seems logical to me. As far as i can tell she is the only girl who would have lived there in the 1800's.

If you have spirits or ghosts. Try selling them on ebay.\n\nSeriously, in demonology and paranormal research there is something called "recognition", the less you give to the phenomena the weaker it becomes.\n\nIf it persists call your local ghost busters, every state has groups doing this kind of investigation. If you are near Connecticut, contact the Warrens, they have been in the Ghost research business for over 50 years.
