"We can hurt your feeling over the internet."

Any hard skeptics out there ever had a ghost hallucination? I personally never have.

I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a translucent little girl in victorian-looking night dress with milky cateracts over her eyes. I yelled at the top of my voice, rolled over, rolled back and it was still there. My wife woke up and asked what was wrong, I pointed where I'd seen the girl and she was gone.

This was in a modern house that hadn't been built on top of the ruins of an older building.
Just a scary waking dream.

+Rep. That would have scared the **** out of me. That's not hyperbolic, either. I think I actually would have **** myself.

I'd be pretty scared to wake up next to Cullion's wife too.

Yes, your first time can be a confusing, fightening experience.

Especially when it's nonconsentual.

I have had two bouts of sleep paralysis and can understand how someone not inclined to critical thinking could have come up with a paranormal explanation of the events I experienced.

There have also been a number of times that I definitely "saw" a person but when I looked again there was no one there. Obviously, I know why this happens (my brain has evolved to recognise faces easily) but if I were into woo-woo I imagine I would assume ghosts.

In any forum, on any website, click any register button you can get yourself too. In the signature field, ask to be taken to The Holder of the Subscription, and submit your registration. Should you promptly receive an e-mail inviting you to activate your account, you will be taken to a subforum hidden deep among its parent forum, called Newbietown. Here you will be instructed to make a introductory post. Your thread will soon be filled with banter from bots and friendly users.

Should an troll reply, STOP and QUICKLY post, "I'm leaving the internet forever!" If the trolls persist, flee. Run from your computer desk, out the door. Do not stop for anything, do not go home, don't stay at an inn, just keep moving and sleep where your body drops. You will know in the morning if you've escaped.

Should the trolls cease, continue on. Eventually someone will suggest that you buy a supporting membership and provide a link to the the subscription page. Upon following the link, you will find a gaudy page with the option to buy Silver and Gold level memberships. Choose either, it is not important.

Once you have subscribed, you will find a new, supporting member only forum. Enter. You will quickly notice it to be dark, dank, its inhabitant, Sam Browning, devoid of any intelligence. He will respond only to one question, "What will happen if I call another poster anything vaguely libelous?"

They will stare dumbfound into your eyes and answer your question in horrifying detail. Many go mad in that very thread, some disappear soon after the meeting, and a few end their lives. But most do the worst thing, and that is look at the space where his avatar should be. You will want to as well. Be warned that should you do, your death will be one of cruelty and unrelenting horror.

Your death will be in that thread, by that person's hands.

That space is number 198 of 538. It is up to you whether they should be protected or destroyed.

Change highlighted text to read "a 'Goodbye' thread" and you have yourself a winner!

didnt know you guys were this sensitive
Well now we know who is really sensitive.

Is this run off from the Mormon thread? we have a ton of zealots running around lately.

No, it fits the original template better and alludes to ancient Bullshido drama. The only flaw is here:

Anybody else ever watch that show "A Haunting" on the Discovery Channel?

My junior year in college I fought some of the most awful insomnia you can imagine. I'd stay awake for three or four days at a stretch, crash for sixteen hours, then reset. I just couldn't sleep. Around the same time I started to experience convincing auditory hallucinations of incomprehensible whispering or music (so convincing that I usually walked around and looked for the source, only to find none). Sometimes I would even hear an unidentified voice commenting on my behavior or giving me instructions, some part of me believed that this voice was paranormal in origin. I ripped up my hand pretty bad during a very convincing visual and tactile hallucination of bugs crawling under my skin.

It's not clear whether the hallucinations were caused by the lack of sleep, or whether some underlying psychiatric disease (like schizophrenia, which I have a family history of) explains both the insomnia and the hallucinations. But I know that none of what I experienced was real, as credulous as I was at the time; I know this because antipsychotic medication stopped these phenomena completely. The drugs and a proper sleep schedule have kept me sane ever since.
3 days without sleep and you're legally insane. The human mind needs sleep, without it, things get messed up. I'm glad things got better for you man, that must have been a trail and a half.

I'm gonna tell you guys a story, related to me by a female friend. She and her boyfriend (she's about 18, he's about 21 I think) went and stayed in an ye olde house, rumoured to be the most haunted place in Australia. Lots of fucked up history, including a retarded son kept chained a shed out the back and left to rot, miscarriages, a nurse being 'supernaturally pushed' and dropping a baby down the stairs, killing it, etc. This place is rented out by the current owner, as anyone stupid enough to seek a supernatural thrill pay good money to go there. Both owner and wife insist that it is haunted as ****, that apparitions appear on the stairs, in the courtyard, balconies, and that voices can be heard in abandoned rooms. As in, it's really fucking haunted.

SO. Girl and boyfriend go and stay there, as boyfriend is having an existential crisis and wants confirmation there is life beyond the grave. Boyfriend, at 3 AM, goes out to see if he can find a ghost. Deliberately. He sits on the most haunted spot in the house, the top of the stairs, and falls asleep waiting. Girlfriend is scared as ****, and finds him there. He disappointingly relates that there is absolutely no ghosts there. Nothing spooky happens.

No ghosts in the most haunted spot in the most haunted place on the continent. That should tell you something.

That place wasn't t3h r34l haunted house. The real haunted houses aren't in it for money.

God was tricking him to test his faith. LOL @ the fucker when he gets to Heaven and Peter says "LOL you lost your faith, go to Hell!"

Capitalists live beyond the grave too, you know!

Capitalists go straight to hell.
