It does annoy me when MyLot does not register a discussion! Anyway, my question is. Is your house haunted? My parents' house is but they have learned to live with the fact that strange things happen like the front of fires throwing themselves off walls, CDs flying out of holders onto the floor, the rustling of curtains, the television turning itself on and off, not being able to change channels...all these things. Why? Because there is a cemetery at the back of their side of the street!

Hi Janey,
I don't believe in ghosts but your story about your parents house truly scared me. are you not scared staying there for the weekend with your parents? i can't. you parents are just so courageous for bearing all these scary things!

Hi there!
Don't get me wrong, the house isn't like that all the time but you can guarantee, if something is going to break down in there, it will "come in threes" as we say over here. One appliance after another breaking down or the gas fire won't work, allsorts of things go wrong all at once. If there are ghosts in the house I think they are just trying to tell us something and Mum and me are a bit telepathic too, which isn't scary at all. We play this game sometimes which is called "How many bears are there in the forest?" and I will say the first number in my head...say "4" and more often than not Mum gets it right. Not played it for ages so I'll give it a whirl when I go to her house on Saturday!!! :-0

thanks for the enlightenment. but the thought of experiencing is still scary for me. ok i can take the challenge of staying in a place where these things happen for one condition--your parents must be with me lol.

My house isn't haunted..That I know of, although I used to get freaked out about flickering lights during my childhood..Until I found out that it was because my dad was welding in the garage, and that did something to the electricity. 
. I feel like there's a practical reason for everything to tell the truth. And so I don't necessarily believe in "haunted" anything. But I think it's something you have to witness/see/experience to really "believe" in. I have a friend, though, who thinks the small shop where she works is haunted! LOL. Whenever I visit her there, nothing happens. But she's always telling me about weird "knocking" noises and the doorbell going off for no reason and the radio cutting off all the time. *shrugs*

Thanks for posting your response. I do think that some people are more susceptible to this than others. Like I said about Mum, she "feels" things but it's no big deal to her. Mum has seen a ghost of our cat we had put down a day before, Dad has seen a ghost down the coal-mine but neither myself nor my brother have seen ghosts. And that phenomenon I mentioned in my discussion topic I witnessed in front of my Mum, so perhaps weird stuff happens around her. It's all very strange!
