haunted houses

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...

Here in Conyers where I live there is an alleged haunted house. It was built in the late 18th century and it is very large. It is two stories high but the very large attic might as well a third story. It is often unoccupied and almost all of the people which have had offices there or a...

I'm willing to bet that many of us, growing up, knew of a "real" haunted house in the neighborhood. For me, it was a place we walked past on the way to elementary school. It was up high, and we could never see any entry to get in - not that we would ever want to. As I recall, it was boarded...

I've already posted something about this large house in Conyers Ga. It's large at three stories if you count the large basement. I searched every room of the building twice. In my former post about large enclosed places I said I believe the ghosts stem from the fact that such places were...

Britain's 'most haunted house' for sale after history as medieval prison for witches Not the worst paranormal-related news article I've seen. It puts itself at a remove from any actual claim of the paranormal by only quoting other sources making those claims or using qualifiers like "potentially".

There is a reputed haunted house in Conyers where I live. On halloween tours people are taken on tours through the turn of the century building. I know a woman who used ot moonlight there when the house was used as a restaurant had a panic attac when she saw the "ghost". She is not alone as...

Just in time for Hallowe'en, from http://uncertaintist.wordpress.com/2012/10/27/a-real-life-new-england-ghost-story-for-halloween/ What follows is a link to about 7 minutes of current video from a regional cable news service, professionally produced and reported by a locally respected...

Around this time of year, it's not uncommon for various Christian churches to offer "alternatives" to trick-or-treating for the children of their congregation. Open up the fellowship hall, pass out some candy, do a small service, that sort of thing. Hooray for them. Some of the megachurches...

For anyone in the UK, (or anyone inclined to listen online), there's a programme on tonight on Radio 4 where scientists tried to create the conditions that would make a place feel haunted:

OK, it's not really a skeptical event, but it is about a decidedly (un-) haunted house, and dorkbot events are always interesting. From: http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotnyc/03.oct.2007/index.shtml The Gravesend Inn--An Interactive Haunted Hotel City Tech's Gravesend Inn is a high-tech...

This is something I am actually wondering about based on a couple conversations I have had with a few friends. It's related to skepticism and I'd actually like to get some legitimate opinions recorded. Imagine the following situation: You have the opportunity to purchase a home which is in...

A couple of months ago, I had some friends over to my house to watch some movies. I’m not sure how the subject came up, but we got to talking about the paranormal. My friend Brian (who lives alone) told us that he frequently hears weird noises in his house and he hinted that something was not...

A student in my "Psychology of belief in the paranormal" class sent me this article on local ghost hunters. Her email subject line: "paranormal or paranoid?" I am so happy. The story speaks of a haunted house, and what was done to investigate...
