OMG! I have something in common with Steve, I love all the Ghost Shows, I watch Ghost Adventures, but my favorite is Paranormal State and Dead Files, I have tons of books on the Paranormal, and I just find the subject fascinating. I'm thinking of joining a Ghost Hunting Club too LOL, and my Husband said he'll get me a Ghost Hunting kit for our Anniversary.
Been on exactly one ghost hunt. My neice was waitressing at a restuarant that was the oldest old home in my hometown. She was telling me about all of the ghost stories she had heard from the older workers there. Got in touch with a local paranormal "service" (sort of like TAPS of Ghosthunter fame, but without the full resources or organization). Got an OK from the owner to let 4 people spend a night in the place. After all the set up, equipment tests and planning the team areas we spent 4 hours actually hunting for the ghost.
End result: One experience, didn't get to record nothing. It just got a little cooler on the second floor in a corner. No sounds, no mists, no EVPs. Learned one thing from this experience. Not only is there no such thing as a free lunch, there's usually no such thing as a ghost.
Now, spirits that were people who died so fast they don't know they're dead, that might be something O can get behind.
Go to the light. Go to the light.
