My curiosity is sparked from watching the Ghosts of Gettysburg and I like to poll EverCrest since we have a wide range of freaks, scholars, sociopaths and religious nutcases.
So, be as specific or as vague as you want. I even included a poll so you can answer anonymously and Bloodsage won't make fun of you.

He's an otherwise normal guy though. Or at least, otherwise normal as far as superstitions go anyway. As far as I know.

... weirdly, mine's pretty much the same. We still have the old blackboards/corkboards and pencil sharpeners attatched to strategically unwise areas of the house.
Conclusion: schools make ghosts. Remain uneducated to be free of them.

Mod had this to say about dark elf butts:
I don't believe in an afterlife and thus can't believe in ghosts.
I don't go out of my way to try to encounter one - as my brother once said after a bad experience with a Ouija board; "If I don't fuck with the supernatural it won't fuck with me."
But I think 99.5% of ghost sightings are made up, or easily explained.

Like the pace itself has a memory, not so much as the people's ghosts still being around.
My grandparents owned a 100+ year old farm house in Vermont which was haunted. Grandma claimed it was a poltergeist, as she saw some picture frames flipped over upon returning to a room after she saw them upright when she left and nobody else was in the house, and other pictures would fall off the wall despite being practically bolted there.
Never saw anything like that when I visited with my family, but one of the two nights we stayed over I woke up with dried blood all over my teeth. My mom insisted that it could happen if your gums were dry enough, but it never happened before and has never happened since. That and there were inexplicably cold places in the house in the middle of summer. Suffice to say I'm glad they moved out of that place almost ten years ago.

I find it hilarious that there are so many testimonials "proving" the existence of ghosts. . .yet it's never been done scientifically. "Damn science! I felt really creepy in my basement, once, so I believe," seems a really odd thing to say. It's like people who try to justify their religions; it's pointless and more than a little silly. They should just be up-front that the believe is in spite of and not because of the evidence, is by definition irrational, and quit trying to "prove" it to others.
Well there's always two sides to a coin, there are the people who try to ram their disbelief down other people's throats when it cannot be proved or disproved with 100% certainty.
Thinking about it more, I can't figure a scientific expelnation as to why I'm self-aware.... not that it changes my mind at all, but it does leave a gap of possibilities

There's the fallacy: one needn't disprove something to say it doesn't exist; one must prove it to say that it does.
