Ok, what about ghosts? Do you believe in them? can the dead roam the earth?
Any eerie experiences to share?

I live in a house that was built over a civil war camp. Among weird noises,
weird stuff happens in our house. Like in the entry hall, we have a vase with
flowers on a table. Every so often someone gets up in the morning and finds
the flowers on the floor, with the vase still standing straight up like
normal. It's just my parents and me at home, and none of us picked up the
flowers and dropped them (that is what it looks like what happened).
WHat gives?

It could be unusual drafts, pets, pests, or other "natural" phenomena.
Or, you could be haunted.

Not so, orinoco. We have no pets. We have no psts. And if it were a draft,
why wouldn't the vase be knocked over too?
I know of someone who was hearing noises in her apartment, alarms were bring
tunred off, lights came on for no reason, and in general, weird stuff. She
had someone who studied the paranormal check it out. Turns out there was a
old man haunting the place, but he was more of a playful spirit.
...Aaaand weird Elvis story: Across from Graceland (E's mansion) is a small
house that the owner said had E's ghost. So a radio crew hosted their show
from there, and had reporters there to make sure nothing was faked. Another
expert was brought in and said it was not E's ghost, but maybe that oof a
little girl. Things like toilet lids would crash down, bottles would break,
etc. Again, a playful spirit. The radio show cables went down 3 times, for
no reason.
I dunno, I think tampering with the spirit world can be a little freaky and
dangerous.

the vase could be too heavy for the wind to push, I assume that the flowers
would be lighter. Of course, I *am* the local disbeliver and devil's
advocate, so...

point taken, orinoco... but what it looks like is someone picked the flowers
out of the vase (not one or two, but all 20 or so) held them up and dropped
them on the floor. The flowers are fake so no water was anywhere. And ther
ereally isn't a draft, the vase in on a table in our entry hall, which has
a 20 foot ceiling.
We have not had anone check out the place. I am not sure how one would contact
an expert. Last night, my lamp tunred off by itself. Scared me doodyless.

Returning to relevancy here...
Were it to be a ghost, what do you think should be done about it?

okay, he was going to the bathroom, it was right before an important
gymnastics meet. Then he started choking. A guy came in the door and hit
his back. He stopped choking in about 3 seconds. He was about to thank the
guy. But the guy had left. He went out into the hallway. This door was the
only one for about 20 feet. the guy was totally gone. He looked. Nobody could
have gotten out that fast. He thinks it was a ghost
and even if he had left, my friend would have herd the footsteps

was the door locked, or could a very quiet walker have done it.

I think that ghosts are just there. If they want to be aethereal one day,
then they can be aethereal. Immaterial the next, why not? Its their
choice.
But thats just my opinion, I could be wrong...
