Okay, do YOU belive in the supernatural?
Not just things like God and Jesus and the Devil, but like in poltergeists, ghosts, and haunted houses?

Watching a program the other day on the Discovery Channel, this sprung to mind...

I believe in ghosts and haunted houses. I'm pretty sure that my room had a ghost in it once... as most of you probably know.... :eyes:

2. Nope, I've never experienced anything like that.
I do like watching shows about that sort of thing though.

5. I'm the same way...
I always watch those "haunted house" shows on the Travel Channel (why the Travel Channel is showing this stuff is beyond rational explanation in itself), but I don't believe any of it.

3. Well
I did capture this on my camera a few years back. If this isn't proof I don't know what is.




Seriously, yes.. I believe in it 100%

6. Nope - because...
even if those things that are usually called "super"natural, do exist, then they are really part of the natural world and therefore not "super" at all. Everything is still part of the same universe we inhabit, though possibly there are things not readily perceptible by all individuals.

9. Actually, Chimpo here is a perfect example of something
with properties perceptible only to some and not others. Those properties being stupidity, duplicity, arrogance, etc. The left can see these things and the RW wackos apparently can't.

10. I sure do. We had a ghost that lived in our house when
I was growing up. We called her Bernie.

11. Undecided.
I think there is a lot about this universe that we don't understand. There's room for things would might call supernatural.

Maybe they don't exist. Maybe they are resistant to the scientific method. Maybe they are based on concept we don't yet understand, but when we do, we'll know what and why they are.

But for now, there's nothing hard to go.

There certainly are a lot of compelling stories on the yes side, I've just never seen anything personally-so I don't know.

Poultreygeist.

20. I wish my nephew would read his email more frequently -
he needs to see this. He thought it was stupid. He could use some strokes.

16. Yes
I believe in the super natural. There have been and are times when I have KNOWN someone was in the room or house with me and there was no one who could have been present. It was eerie at first, but I got used to it. Now, it's something I welcome.

18. I believe "spirits" exist
but I don't know what they are or what their purpose is in this world.
