this.

people question me for not believing in ghosts, which is hilarious.

I'll try my best to explain Exoskeletal's post.

I told him I was pretty positive that I hadn't but would check it out anyway. Jim follows me and he says that it's odd because it sounds like it's only coming from one speaker and it's a song that doesn't play on the theater soundtrack.

We approach the theater and I begin to hear it. This theater is designed strangely in that when you walk in the screen is on your right. Because of the design there is a wall that prevents you from seeing the very back left of the theater. This is where the music was coming from. Not only was there music coming from that corner, but there had appeared to be somebody singing along with it. It was a female voice and could now be clearly heard. It was not coming from a speaker. Somebody was in there. We stood there and listened until the singing and the music stopped at the same time and we got the **** out of there. We waited in the lobby for somebody to come through the front door which was the only exit not locked by a fire door. Nobody came.

There is a woman living in theatre ten. She has been recently kicked out of her house and decided to take her stereo with her. Duh.

Story 2

This one happened to just me. I was going to lock up the same theater one night. I shut all the lights and breakers off and was exiting the theater, As I said before the screen is located to the right as you walk in, With all the lights off you can not see a thing once you walk about five feet towards the screen. It is pitch black. I was locking the booth door which is in the theater itself when I heard a noise. It was faint at first but grew louder and closer with each passing second. It sounded like either somebody pounding on the hollow wall with there fists as they are running towards me or sounded like somebody running up the isle with heavy boots...stomping. I didn't wait to find out because I booked it out of the theater. Again, nobody came through the exit doors.

The woman lives in the hollow wall when she feels that it is not safe to be out. She obviously likes music, so she was probably dancing in her den. Duh.

Ghosts don't exist, brah.

No. I do believe in them though. I'm not like those that will see something unusual in a video/picture and claim it to be paranormal. I've never seen a video/picture and felt sure it had to be a ghost. I don't even know if I believe that ghosts are surely spirits of the dead, or are something else altogether. I used to watch Ghost Hunters back in the day, but that went to hell pretty fast. The episodes where they were able to explain everything were boring, but I far prefer them to the recent years where they managed to find something in every episode.

I've heard footsteps at my Grandmother's house, where sadly my my great grandma passed away. It's a big old house that does creek, but these were clearly footsteps outside on the stairs and on the path to the bathroom. Its upstairs and the times I usually hear it is anywhere from midnight to 3:00 a.m. Me and my brother also heard the bathroom light switch click on, and no footsteps going towards or from, never actually seen anything though, I still don't believe but you never know.

I'm schizoprenic, so anything I say probably won't make much sense.

I have no explanation of either of these two things. I don't really believe in ghosts but do know there are a lot of unexplained **** that happens to people. All I know is that I did not dream these things. They happened.

Man...That is creepy as hell. How old is the theatre?

What song was it? That yuou heard.

**Exo** · 05-05-2012, 10:56 AM

The theater isn't actually that old which makes it a little strange to have that happen twice.

The song was some soul/r&b song.

PoorOldPo · 05-05-2012, 11:34 AM

I saw a few strange things. I will explain the most recent one. I was in the kitchen workin away at home on the island table. The hall door behind me a little to the right in the corner of the room.

Anyway, everyone was in bed, asleep in the house, at about 1:00 in the morning. For some reason I felt the compulsion to look behind me, the door to the hallway was half open, and there was a persons upper torso, head looking looking out to the side of the door, as if peering in at me. The head was almost perpendicular to the door.

It was only a glimpse but the person had long dark hair, probably male, and a pale face. I thought it was my mother at first, so when the face had gone ( it was there for like a second before I fully turned around to look at the door, I call " mum ? "

I called her a few times convinced she was behind the door in the hall, until I heard her tired voice call out from upstairs " yeah? ".

Everyone was asleep upstairs, all the doors were locked. I was pretty freaked out. It isn't the strangest thing that has happened to me though, I will tell that in another post.

I've never had anything supernatural happen to me. I've even gone to places where people have claimed such things, to no avail. My initial instinct about why I don't experience supernatural things is because I don't believe they exist. That's also saying that I think most people who do believe in such things (even on a subconscious level) will be more likely to interpret an occurrence as supernatural, and their minds may even help them along.

Ultimately, since there is no evidence to prove the existence of ghosts, I don't put any stock into their existence. Anecdotal evidence is not the kind of thing I'm led to put above scientific, testable, documented and repeatable evidence.
As such, even if I were to see a "ghost" myself, I would put more stock in the possibility that I hallucinated than the possibility that what I saw was real. Why? Because hallucinations (and not just the mental kind) are scientifically documented, testable and repeatable. They happen all the time, and there is absolutely no reason why an unproven supernatural phenomenon should have more merit than something that is well-documented and proven.

I say all that to say, if a person is interested in truth, they should employ critical thinking in matters such as these. I would be more than happy to believe in the supernatural as soon as it can be proven. Until then, though, I won't.
