I do, elusive. My parents bought a house in a development that was almost completely built. When they first wanted to buy a house there, they were told, sorry none are available. Then one suddenly became available & their two oldest children moved in. The front door opened onto a hallway that had a short, five step staircase to the right. The living room was to the left. In the wall dividing the living room from the hallway, there was an open bookcase from the ceiling halfway down. We could see the entire hallway. Down the hallway on the right, the first door led to the basement with a closet next to it. Continuing into the kitchen, the door to the backyard was at the back wall and to the right of the entrance from the hallway. We were the only house on the block with that configuration. One night years later, after several more children, including me, had been added to the family, several members were watching TV on a summer evening with the front door open. It was already dark outside. My mother & younger brother were in the kitchen. A semi-opaque, white, thin oval shape about as tall as an adult male, floated in the front screen door and paused briefly in front of the staircase. It then went to the basement door and seemed to disappear halfway thru the door. It then floated into the kitchen and disappeared thru the window in the middle of the room. The next day, we were chattering about it at breakfast and my father was there. He & my mother looked at each other & he cleared his throat. He told us kids he had something to show us. He went to the attic and retrieved the original blueprints for the house. Originally, the basement door was supposed to be where the hallway closet was & the closet door was supposed to lead to the basement. The outside door from the kitchen was supposed to be in the middle of the room, where our window was. That's how the other houses on the block were set up. While the house was under construction and almost finished, the father of that family had come to the house for some reason. He was standing where the basement doorway was to be when part of the wall and ceiling collapsed on him. The workers got him outside thru the back door. He died soon afterwards. The family did *not* want the house then. That's why it was offered to my parents, after a few changes in the floor plan. Then there's the story of the ghost of an ex-boyfriend's grandmother ...

Wow, that's quite a story, MiraJane! I believe in ghosts but have yet to see one. Reply #22. Aug 23 15, 10:41 PM |

I, too, believe in ghosts (not that I've met any yet) but I did once have a dream in which I met someone whom I believe was trying to send me a message. Reply #24. Aug 25 15, 12:30 AM |

OK, so we've established that some of us believe in ghosts. Now on to something else. Hands up who believes in Nessie? Reply #26. Nov 18 15, 5:09 AM |

I'd think all large mammalian species would have been discovered by now. As for Nessie, I'm not sure. There are a lot of things underwater that haven't been found yet. Here's an interesting story: http://www.americanmonsters.com/site/2010/11/u-28-abomination-atlantic-ocean/ Reply #28. Nov 18 15, 8:06 PM |

Why have your entries got a rectangle around them, Satguru? Reply #29. Nov 19 15, 6:59 PM |

I have seen a ghost before & have had numerous paranormal experiences starting when I was about 4 years old. We lived in a house that had some very strange goings on & quite a few weird things happened to me there. That is when I realized that unexplained things that happen in our world all the time.

One doesn't talk about it for being thought a liar or a bit strange. But having lived in a house for five years that was also occupied by the ghost of an old lady I have learnt not to pooh-pooh things I don't understand. All I can say is she did not do us any harm and didn't take up much room. Reply #32. Jul 25 16, 4:48 AM |

Mommakat: EXACTLY! I don't tell too many people about the things that have happened to me because a lot of people are skeptics & don't believe in that stuff. Ghosts are one of those things that people won't believe in until it happens to them. It just seems so far fetched, like they just can't exist. However, I know they do because so much has happened to me during my lifetime. I'm a perfectly sane & rational person so I don't doubt my senses or judgment at all. I don't need to convince anyone of my experiences but it's still not something that I freely discuss! I feel it's highly personal so I usually don't go into specific detail. Reply #33.

We know more about the surface of the moon than we do about our oceans and it's been proved that supposedly-extinct animals can still be in existence. The Coelacanth is a perfect example, a fish that was thought to have gone extinct alongside the dinosaurs, that is, until a live one was caught by fishermen off the coast of South Africa in December 1938. So for all we know, Plesiosaurs, Mosasaurs and the giant shark Megalodon might still be with us. Reply #35. Nov 15 16, 2:33 AM |

I think we must have ghosts in our house because often when I ask who is responsible for a broken, missing or damaged object the answer from everyone is "not me". Lol. Reply #36. Nov 15 16, 7:59 AM |

"It also means there is an intelligent life outside our own three dimensions" I haven't noticed much intelligent life inside our own three dimensions. Maybe we could start the search there. Reply #39. Feb 15 17, 2:55 PM |

It's not possible for Earth to be the only planet with intelligent life. There are billions of planets in the universe. Even if it's not in my lifetime, I'm sure that one day we'll find another planet with intelligent life. Reply #40. Feb 15 17, 10:19 PM |
