The Monday Poll - Ghosts

[pjthompson]

My recent foray into writing ghost stories has me wondering...

ETA: Which reminds me of a Dylan song (everything reminds me of a Dylan song): "You know something's happening, but you don't know what it i-i-is, do you, Mr. Jones?" (Ba-dum-ba-da-da bwang-bwang)

It's probably a natural phenomena we haven't identified yet.
1(5.6%)
It's all imagination, storytelling, natural phenomena mistaken for the paranormal, the power of suggestion, and/or trickery.

I am the Ghost of Ticky-Boxes Past!

[pjthompson]

So that was you on the door knocker last night?

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

No, that was Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

[pjthompson]

I told him to sleep on the mat!

I'm still looking for the gratuitous ticky box...

[pjthompson]

Dang. I knew I forgot sumthin'.

[iagor.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[pjthompson]

Yes indeed.

I think you ought to have a box for this one; I had to click "Other":

I've seen one and encountered some strange things

[pjthompson]

Well, I didn't want to force any confessions out of anyone. I used to live around a noisy ghost who I made a pact with, "Make all the noise you want, play all the tricks you want, but I just don't want to see anything." :-)

Oh I absolutely believe in ghosts. When my family lived in Washington, we lived in a bona fide haunted house. I saw things that to this day I can't explain.

[pjthompson]

I think a lot of us have experienced stuff with no logical explanation and been converted to the believe column because of it. Sometimes that's the only way it happens. :-)

I agree.... there are a lot of things, as the saying goes, that we must see to believe.
