    Unless it's one of those right angles?

    For me it's gotta be either acute or reflexive. usually a combination of the two :)

    I saw a ghost once one my way home after a pleasant night out.

    There is was staring out a me from a field, all white with big horns. Meh-ah-ah-ah it called to me, not once but thrice. I ran home.

    An old lady told me the next day that if you drink ghost milk, it's good for asthma, but no way would I be going near that field again.

    I have seen no evidence to convince me that ghosts are real but I love a good ghost story and I'm the first to volunteer for those clichéd "ghost tours" when I visit somewhere new. As a child I would fly through those odd paranormal magazines. (I was a bit weird).

    I think the scientific explanations for hauntings are actually more interesting than if the answer were simply "it's a ghost".

    The human mind is an incredibly deceptive thing.

    I saw a gold van with "Supernatural Paranormal Investigations" written on it in my neighbourhood recently and it made my day.

    Why is it never a happy phenomenon that people invent?

    On the contrary, most ghost stories are happy endings. Connoisseurs will have read of the finding of the body of the missing child ends the mother's ghostly haunting.

    The exposition of ancient murders have frequently ended house and castle hauntings and there many, many such stories, Ireland is extremely rich in them and many of the exponents of the stories never set out as a ghost hunt.

    By the way, anyone who wants to read more creepy (sometimes ghostly, often near child abduction) stories should check out this AH epic:

    I do...not get this reference. I have failed you.

    Edit: Almost an hour later, I get it.

    They seem legit. (Well, "legit").

    Maybe these open minded atheists would think twice before trying to disrespect others beliefs

    When you start seeing ghostly figures that are seemingly invisible to everybody else there really is only one explanation: your brain is haunted and needs to be blessed by a priest.

    also how come we do not see as many leprechauns around the place these days??

    As devout boy in the fifties I was told the three hail marys at the end of mass was to banish them as well as ghouls and goblins and evil spirits in general.

    To paraphrase another boardsie the last time this sort of thread showed up in AH: 'It's strange how ghosts never show up in the day time with lots of people about to witness it'.

    Funny you should say that, I saw my one and only ghost in daytime, my parents were visiting an old house with a view to buying it, I was only 6 or 7 years old at the time, so while my parents were looking at the house, I wandered around exploring as kids do, I looked into the kitchen and there was an old woman resting in an armchair near the fireplace, being the polite child that I was, I didn't say anything to her to avoid disturbing her and moved onto a different room.
    As we were leaving I asked my parents why they didn't say goodbye to her and it was only a few years later that they told me that the house was empty as the previous owner (an old woman) had died and that was why her son was selling the place, now make of that what you will, I know what I saw.

    I assume your parents didn't buy the house. Reality or imagination, that would give me the willies. I could never live there!
