I didn't know you were into the unknown and unexplained, August. How do you feel about ghosts and spirits? Do you believe?

I am into anything really I have various interests in all sorts of stuff. I live in a haunted house so my feelings on ghosts and spirits are mixed. They can be really annoying mainly at night time , daytime is not so bad though there are a couple that lurk about and can be a pest . Its mainly noises mostly , footsteps in the hallways and noises in the walls and cupboards and such. I used an EVP meter on them one night and it did register them (?) moving from the walls into cupboards and even drawers near my bed. My cats know they are there as they often sit staring up the main hallway I can't see anything but they can. So yeah ghosts are pretty real I am not certain who or what they are but sometimes people who have stayed with me have mentioned hearing a little girls voice in one of the bedrooms calling mommy or something sitting next to them on the bed in that room. Creepy huh .

They don't seem to bother you, is that right?

I subscribe to a youtube channel called gHOST bITCHES. Her name is Yvette and she lives in Melbourne, Australia. I think she's terrific. :D What I like most about her is that she is very real/down to earth. She is also a punk rocker and quite funny at times. She does have integrity and is very respectful to the spirits when she seeks them out.

I don't watch her exclusively. As a matter of fact, I watch most of them on youtube but, she is the only one I subscribe to other than Kingfrostmare. Kingfrostmare is not a ghost hunter tho. He is one of those who makes lists of the top 5 or 10 or whatever. I think you know what I mean.

If you mean hurt me , no they don't. I have a lot of things in my house that used to belong to other people , I seem to end up with it all somehow. I have always believed that sometimes something of people attach itself to some of their possessions they owned , maybe some of it comes from that maybe (?) but the house is really old over 100 years at least and various people would have lived here I can trace the owners back to 1940 including my grandmother who bought it but can't find any other info on who owned it before that time no one has died in here to my knowledge but then that doesn't mean that no one has. Yeah I am not a ghosthunter or anything like that but have been in haunted places , some owned by family members. I have had some of my cats die in this house and I have seen a blue light above the carpet where one of them died in the lounge room exactly over the spot where poor Scatty died. Thanks for the links I will look them up. Never heard of them before.

There are many, maybe even the majority of people who believe in ghosts and spirits that say there are entities attached to some of the things they brought home. They may have inherited something or even just purchased something at a garage/boot sale and discovered it had more to it than just a trinket or mirror. lol

I have never experienced that thank goodness. I used to go to garage sales every summer and I've gotten some great stuff. Lucky for me, no ghosts. lol

I do have a problem when people say there are children who are wandering the earth as ghosts or lost spirits. I don't believe that. There is only one higher power/god (whatever name you may use to describe) and mine would not do that to a child. So, if they are seeing or hearing children in these ghost hunting videos, I call BS or demons. They're not children.

Maybe we all get to be one one day (?) ( Ghosts ) or maybe not all of us. Earthbound spirits they say are held here for one reason or another. Or trapped in a loop where they are destined to relive what they do over and over again. Or maybe they are just a lingering memory of times past, like a recording. I am always careful when I buy things or am given things as you never know where its been or what has attached itself to it. Whatever lives in the walls of this house was here long before I started living in here. There is a massive Mental Hospital not far from here that housed 4,000 patients from all over Australia , it closed in 2000 and now lies abandoned . Ward 5 they say was the most haunted and reports by nursing staff said that even while in operation a misty blue figure could be seem coming out of the walls in various parts of the building. They called it the 'male hating ghost' as it only attacked male staff . One senior matron actually saw the spectre come out of the wall and grab a male staff member around the neck and forced him to the floor. It got so bad the State Government called in a priest to exorcise the ward . In the end when the hospital shut it doors for the last time they gutted Ward 5 and removed all the inner walls , this was the only ward that had that done , no doubt to put pay to the spirit inhabiting the building .

Well, there goes my good nights sleep.

I been in there and its not some place I would want to spend the night in. Its eerie as it so silent in the buildings you hear one noise and you sorta jump out of your skin. I was in one of the wards and I heard a car pull up , slamming doors and voices and I thought now I am for it its the security guys as most of the buildings are off limits, when I got to the entrance doors there was nothing there . Never been in there since.
