Anything dealing with the supernatural, be it ghosts,spirits, demons,devils, whatever, creeps the hell out of me when I see or read about people who really beleive in the stuff. I watched a documentary on exorcisms once and it was scarier than any horror movie I have ever seen. Just creeps me out.
Religion can be really creepy when you start dealing with possessions and other things like that. I find it weird that this sorta stuff creeps me out the way it does becasue i am not at all a religious person or a person that really believs in the supernatural. I don't really pretend to know either way however.
I guess it is the same as being frightened by a horror movie. You pretty much know what you are seeing is made up and produced for entertainment, but people get scared even knowing this.

When I visited Edinburgh some weeks ago I went for a tour in the vaults under the city. And this was not some cheesy horror house event, with people leaping out of the corners to scare you with screams and costumes. The guide was an old chap who silently told us about the odd things which had happened during some of the group visits down there, and led us about talking about the various "precenses".
This place was used by poor people as a place of hiding and living during some flood/famine in the country side, and the living conditions down there were apparently quite appaling. Anyway it's said to be one of the most haunted places in Scottland and there's even been a thorough investigation made by some scientist. He let several people, unaware of the place's history and current state, spend sometime in the vaults and then interviewed them about their experiences. And as it turned out, a great majority had experienced "paranormal" events and/or feelings of great discomfort.
I did not experience anything down there, apart from a certain atmosphere which permeated the entire place. When I went into these damp and chilly vaults there was a significant change of mood; (which I find pretty hard to put words to) there was an opressive and solemn sort of atmosphere all over the place. Of course I knew beforehand that it was supposed to be haunted,but I think it was more than just that. It was a very strange place; dogs would not enter certain rooms and people had been flung about, threatened and even possessed to some extent.

Reminds me of some of the ruins (restored or otherwise) of some of the Crusader castles and Knights Templar stuff.
Rooms and hallways dogs won't enter, even well trained dogs, wouldn't go near it. When dogs get spooked by it, then I'm more inclined to believe something is weird. They can sense shit we can't... like incoming heart attacks, and other health problems.
I still don't believe in ghosts per se, but I do believe that areas can be tainted by certain kinds of things that have happened there and maintain an atmosphere no matter how long it has been.

Erik, ct-thrash and soem other people mentioned sleep paralysis, I get it, well havnt in a while actually. But like one of you mentioned you can feel it coming on, just at the last few seconds i know im going to get it but cant stop it. I can't breath or move when it occurs and it is deeply terrifying at the time. I dont recall ever seeing anything during it, i think my eyes stay closed. I just go straight back to sleep after i move and gasp for air, but i always remember it happening when i wake up.

Not every single piece of footage is someone putting on a ruse. I'm not saying this is authentic. Yet I keep an open mind as I have witnessed some peculiar phenomenon in my day. If I were to re-tell it, you people would think I'm batty. But that isn't the case, as 3 other sane individuals were present at the time. :zombie:
There have been several shows featuring Eastern State Penitentiary. It was there where Al Capone used to cry himself to sleep at night as he believed he was being tormented by the apparition of one of his slain victims.

lol @ Al Capone. what a pussy.
Anyway, too much to read here so I'll say, "nah". No such thing as supernatural. Makes for good stories though.

paranormal stuff creeps me out too
and i also am more inclined to believe some shit is up when dogs get freaked out, animals can sense things we can't...the dogs barking at the spot on the roof for example
i had a really vivid dream one time right after my dog died that my brother and i were sitting in our living room and all of a sudden our dog walked in through the wall ghost-like, and we just looked at each other in disbelief and started petting her and after a minute she walked out through the other wall and i woke up...i really believed in ghosts for about 20 seconds and then i realized it was a dream and i was so damn disappointed

well this one time on shitload of lsd I felt like the sheer expirience was too massive for me, overwhelming, all I received felt as both truths and lies, reality and fiction, and the longer I dwelled inside those feelings the harder it hit me and I felt like I am over my head. Being an agnostic since I remember myself (just seemed logical all along), I have never expirienced God in any form, yet I felt like he was communicating with me in ways indescribable, through horror and hope, silence and thundering inside my head, I just felt him, and after that trip some matters of social anxiety sort of waded away, and my burden was ultimately easier. Probably makes no sense, but this is my truth. I still find doubt in my heart, but I also find him, from time to time.

Awhile back I did some shrooms and for the first two hours of the trip I was visually trying to reach out grab onto my mind to keep from losing it. I had my eyes closed so the visuals were basically black blobs which I assumed was my mind. Go figure.
