Cos bull**** is a universal phenomenon. No bull required.

A lot of bs in a lot of cases I think, but I don't mind the thrill of possibility sometimes.
I was in Leap castle at night, and there's a bit of a feel about the place alright, toilet trips were swift. Mr M stayed there a few times, i wouldn't be very comfortable doing so, but I probably would stay, provided I can stay wrapped up around him with no need to step out of the bed under any circumstance, and a thick duvet to hide under.

Because it has always been a well known fact that Ireland will let any nationality in as long as they open a fast food restaurant, for a long time in the past Gengis Khan was a latter day Gorden Ramsey and was famed for his "Elephant Testicles ona stick" although most reports said they tasted like chicken

Good idea because a ghost that can walk through solid concrete walls is going to be totally flummoxed when it comes to getting through bed linen

Because people's minds play tricks with them in the dark and up until the 20th century, there was no electric lighting so most people spent a lot of time in dark and dimly lit rooms


Evolution favours the jumpy mind. If you hear a rustling in the bushes and you think it's a wolf and go on high alert, you're more likely to survive than if you hear a rustling and presume it's the wind.

Add this to the fact that the human brain is hard wired to search for other human faces/figures. Pareidolia is the term used to describe the illusions we can see in ordinary objects due to our pattern seeking brain. If we encounter something that looks like it might be a human face, our brain does a remarkable job of filling in the missing detail to make that face appear

Duvets are great, they protect you from ghosts, spiders, intruders, the day you have to face, the world ... They're kind of special like that
There isn't a hope in hell I'd leave a toe out on that occasion, I just ain't having my toe poked, and I think there's poking going on in Leap.

How come there's never any reports of caveman ghosts, or even ghosts of other hominids which have been around these geographic areas a lot longer than modern humans? They're always from the recent past. Funny that.

Lucky for you then that ghosts don't have to obey the laws of physics so while walking through a wall may be like walking through candy floss for them putting their hand into a feather filled Duvet is probably like trying to karate chop a concrete block

Look up Carlow Shopping Centre, it used to be an old Gaol.

Not sayin it's haunted but there's never anyone in the feckin thing so it's always creepy!

I dont know. I dont contend they do or dont exist. I asked that question - re; geographic spread and consistent report. You cant answer it all you can do is rant and spit breakfast roll crumbs at your screen.
