I`ve been reading books about ghosts for a long time and have seen numerous movies about them as well. I can point out what is more likely, what is unlikely and site true examples from the subject. I have also been writing fictional ghost stories off and on since high school. I have been keeping a comprehensive listing of haunted sites for a long time and have visited a few local haunted sites in my area. I do not consider myself a ghost hunter or ghost researcher. I have no college or univerity training in the subject, but I have postulated a few personal theories about the phenomenon. I recently published the book, "Volunteer Ghosts," about ghosts in Tennessee. Another thing, because ghost shows are becoming so popular, I'm getting deluged with messages from people thinking they have ghosts. Please try to bust your own experiences before asking me about them. So many people who believe in ghosts and experience things want proof so much that they are coming to me for answers. Please check your grammar and proofread your messages too. I can't understand what you're asking if your questions aren't legibly precise. Don't make me try to decipher your message. Keep your messages short and to the point! I do not know anything about demonology; no questions about evil spirits or possession. That has nothing to do with ghosts or haunted houses.

What do you like about this subject?

I've been watching horror movies for a long time, but to me, there was always something more logical, and much more fascinating about this subject over UFOs and ETs. I also believe in survival after death.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I don't know, I just have a great fascination for it as well as a desire for a peaceful afterlife.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

A lot of people believe in ghosts, but of three different people, one would probably scream and run, the next might study it and the next might ignore it. If asked what they saw, the first might be too afraid to speak, the next might mention he was moved by the experience and the last might say he saw nothing orblame it on an illusion. Who would you be?

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

In a court of law, witness testimony is extremely important. In science, it's worthless.

I'm sorry, but ghosts do not obsess over particular things like money. They've been known to move glasses, jewelry, watches and even articles of clothing, but they all eventually show up. I think you may

2009-10-21 Paranormal activities at home:

Like I tell everyone else, there is nothing to do to make it leave and trying to make it go can make things worse. As long as it is not hurting you or making your life unpleasant, you can live with it

Any one of these things alone typically does not mean a haunted house. I assume it is just you and your son? You do not have a husband or relative with a key? Have you had anyone else remark on seeing

You could be haunted. Has anyone else observed things? Have you caught any evidence on tape? The noises can also be described as animals in your walls, loose pipes or the wood expanding and contracting

You could have a spirit trying to make contact with you before crossing over. That occurs randomly after loved ones pass over and abates after few weeks. However, if it lasts then it becomes considered
