    Now that you mention it, there is a bit of a darker part in the stones beneath the arch, but I wouldn't call it a ghost.

    And my deeds your hopes in action

    Some letter of that After-life to spell:
    And by and by my Soul return'd to me,
    And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell :"

    Probably isnt but i'm gonna keep pretending all the same! Very eerie place though! Was surrounded by the smell of stale whiskey and sweat at one point as well. Thought i was imagining things until the tour guide told us all that some times people sense this very smell. I am a bit clairsentient anyway....and cliraudient....

    All this extra sensory perception makes the mind go round and round in circles. Just don't let an American TV producer know, they'll want you in one of their silly paranormal TV shows.

    Actually i'd love that! (but not one of the american ones... That girly ghost hunters is the worst programme i've seen on telly in a long time!)
    I'm jealous of the most haunted crew. If only they needed an Ex Archaeologist bookseller! One can dream!

    What "girly ghost hunters" show is that?

    I would LOVE to be on "Most Haunted"!! I have tried to win the trip to go to the UK for the Halloween "Most Haunted Live" event. I, of course, didn't win!! I NEVER win anything! So, I am hoping that they offer it again. I won't give up! I will try again!

    Then I wanted to enter the "Ghost Hunters" (Sci-Fi channel program) contest to be the next ghost hunter with TAPS. Of course I couldn't enter that because I had absolutely NOBODY to help me out with sending in a film of myself. You had to either do it over the internet or send in a DVD of yourself. I couldn't do either one. I know no one who has the capability to do either one of those things.

    Then there is finally a paranormal investigation team in the state where I live that is affiliated with TAPS (the first one in the state so far). They recently accepted new applicants, but I couldn't apply. You have to live within 60 miles from the town where the headquarters is located. I live 3 hours away!

    Life is SO tough sometimes

    There is a programme that does sometimes be on living tv called Girly Ghost Hunters. Its really bad. I'd also love to be on most haunted live.

    Paranormal

    I was wondering what you thought about paranormal phenomena:
    Do you believe in ghosts/telepathy/past lives/telekinesy... and other kinds of strange things?
    Are you afraid of that?
    Have you already witnessed an event/phenomenon that you have not been able to explain?
    If not, would you like to witness one?

    Personally I have always wanted to go to houses which are said to be haunted, out of curiosity. I am intrigued with the unknown.

    EDIT: Ok, my thread was useless. The only thread I make is useless, nice.

    Yes, it's very disappointing when one starts a thread - especially if one hasn't done so before - only to have it be combined with some other one; although in this case the two are indeed similar.

    But, to answer your question: No, I have never witnessed what might be considered a paranormal phenomenon and though I prefer to think of myself as open-minded, I would NOT want to witness one as it would be a cataclysmic challenge to my essentially materialistic view of the world.

    Thanks.
    I am open minded too, and I would love seing a strange event. I have no materialistic view of the world.

    Oh, I am thinking: maybe if I created a thread about these sweet creatures that are Platypuses, it would not be moved? I'm sure nobody else has talked about Platypuses.

    YES! Platypuses have been totally overlooked on this site! We are so bloody anthropocentric here!

    Sweets,
    Any thread that is similar or of the same context of an already existing thread will be merged as par forum rules etc. That is why it is advisable to always search the forums before creating a thread. It happens everday here so dont feel hard done by because i merged yours with an already existing thread.
    And maybe people will discuss platypus'. Stranger things have happened on this forum.

    A friend of mine did a world-wide quiz on Wii, there was the question "Do you believe in ghosts?". The country with the highest proportion of "yes" answers was Japan, the country with the fewest was Austria.
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    I was just about to say the same thing! So, there are two people here that would definitely love to read that!
