I was drinking a beer with a Jewish friend here in Conyers GA. He is cool and we hang out sometimes.

One day I got to talking about ghosts. He "aw cmon man, You believe in that crap. "? I said not really but there was a house in town almost within walking distance and maybe we could explore said house.

OK this nearly three hundred year old three story house is gig. It has two flights of steps going up and a stepladder situation going into the attic.

The door to the house was open. It was on the verge of being redecorated and becoming a antique shop. It was at the moment unoccupied.

I said well here we are. You go in first. He hesitated a moment then walked in. I followed him. I showed him where the activity had manifested itself. We explored the whole old nice house and then left seeing no paranormal beings.

He asked well where are the ghosts. My reply was the ghosts were in peoples heads. I then offered my theory as to why people saw ghosts in this large house.

My theory is this. During mankinds developemental stages large enclosed areas such as caves were at a premium. These areas were always inhabited by someone or some dangerous animal. Humans had evolved a tendency to hesitate when it came to entering places like that.

The building is now a law office with offices on all three stories with office equipment in the attic and the small basement. No ghosts reported.

Did the house have a cave? Did you see a very well-built man and a boy running around in tights? You were either in the Bruce Wayne mansion or some gay club.

That is a reasonable theory.
 
That is a reasonable theory.

But not a scientific theory
Wikipedia
A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that has been repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.[1][2] In circumstances not amenable to experimental testing, theories are evaluated through principles of abductive reasoning. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and embody scientific knowledge.[3]
 
A ghost hunter and a Rabi walk into a bar.

The ghost hunter asks the bartender if he has ever served spirits.
The bartender says, "Yes, all the time."
The Rabi says, "Prove it."
The bartender pours him a tall Macallan.


I'll show myself out.:D
 
The house, at 951 Railroad Street, was built in 1900 and has 2500 square feet of living space. I wouldn't call it "huge." Our house, about half an hour's drive from there, has 3300 square feet of living space. Photos of the Conyers house are easy to find online, and it doesn't look spooky. My late grandfather's farmhouse looked but wasn't haunted.

I mean, why let the opportunity go to waste?


SyFy just had a series called SurrealEstate (which has been cancelled :( ) about a real estate agency that specializes in helping people sell haunted houses. On the show though, hauntings are viewed like black mold, rodents, or bad wiring, something to be dealt with so it doesn't negatively impact the seller's final price.
