He grew up in a house built in the very small town of Alert Indiana. That house was built in 1898 as the town morgue before it was converted into a home to live in. My pop lived there for most of his live before going to Vietnam. The stories from that place from him, his two brothers, & his (now late) sister could be made into a movie. From what they claim, something happened every night. I only remember that house a a very small child, so those stories are not my own.

As for the Gettysburg remark, that was for those not keen on the civil war, but thanks, I do take your point.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm still skeptical, for the reasons I mentioned. You live a place that's supposedly haunted, you're going to grow up thinking it's haunted, and every little ... something is going to be a haunting.

As I said before, pics or it never happened.

I don't have pics. I do think you have seen me post enough to know that I do joke around, but I'm not a BS artist.

I can tell you that in Fredericksburg, I use to cook at a restaurant in a converted rowhome called the chimneys building. The house is said to be haunted by a little boy who was run over by a horse & buggy during the late 1700's in front of the house (now restaurant). I never gave it much thought working there until one night after the dinner rush the chef cooked up a dish for me to eat before clean up. I sat the plate down on the prep table, picked up a fork, & as I was putting the fork down to the plate, the plate slid down the prep table about two feet. My fork almost hit the table as the plate moved away from me. The kid ghost is known to play pranks on people, as he did me that night. I didn't touch the plate, it just moved. I can't explain it any other way.

Slovitrea based entirely on your writing style (as you've posted lots) I’d like to try my hand at a psychic reading for you…

You have a great desire for other people to like and admire you but may not always let on to that. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Your sexual appetite has presented some problems for you (perhaps more internally than with other people). Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable; meanwhile, you can be introverted, wary, reserved. Perhaps that is why you’ve thought so much about writing (I’m having a little trouble deciding which though, is it a book or a movie?) Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic but you can recognize it and use them more as a means of calibrating real life with your goals. Security is really one of your major unconscious goals in life. The number 8 seems to have some significance to you. The color purple also seems to have meaning for you. I also get the impression that there was a significant situation during your childhood involving water.

Let me know how I did.

Try me. I want to see how far off you are. Besides, I find this sort of thing amusing. ;)

They aren't. Sometimes cryptozoology is pseudoscience. Sometimes it leads to be true, as in teh case of the King's Cheetah and the Maltese Tiger.

I do think Ghost/Demons lurk around house or spots in any country you visit. My visit to the Ram Inn in the UK scared the living **** out of me, but all is good.

Hell, I can do it.

You are a young teenager that lives in the U.S, in a state that begins with the letter M. You have insecurities of yourself and your social skills are different than others. You will major in History in an exceptional university, somewhere in the East Coast of the U.S. You have samurai blood in you, which means deep down you are a warrior and a scholar at the same time. After graduating with a B.A in history, you will spend 12 months trying to find a job with no luck. You'll regret majoring in history and will subsequently ask yourself "Why...why didn't I major in something more useful than history. Like physics or biology or engineering. Why didn't I become a millionaire like Norstal?" You decided to join the army. After years of fighting, you begin training as an officer. Soon, you'll become a renown general...for the Canadian army.

There! :P

Yar-har, Maryland my Maryland. :p
You have insecurities of yourself and your social skills are different than others.

Me? Insecurities? Perhaps normally, but not now, not for the past few months!

Hypomania is fun stuff, lemme tell you. ;)

Also, define different. If by 'Different' you mean 'Excellent at social interaction', you are correct.

Incorrect, I will major in History in a pissy little backwater uni. :p

Odd, most door slamming, nightmares, etc. can usually be explained by adolescents living in the house. Though, considering your family experienced this as well, I would put it down to an extremely dark family secret. Either that or your possess a gift, Though If it were that, it probably wouldn't be as bad. What are the dreams usually like?

I believe in demons, not ghosts. I think ghosts are the result of electromagnetic energy forcing you to believe things that are not true in your head (like voices or apparitions), but doors slamming and anything physical (outside of electric technology being altered) is probably the work of either extreme environmental conditions, or, I hate to say this, a demonic presence. Or a college roommate.

The only ghostly experience I've had was a cup full of water moving on a table on it's own. Keep in mind that I checked for wind, any forces pushing it, or a slippery table - I found none.

I saw a UFO once. A bright (really, really blinding bright) light shined through my window once when I was in bed. I checked and listened for aircraft that may have searchlights (and fog lights on cars), but there was not even one vehicle present that night. It was creepy as shit.

Cold reading indeed! Is all good fun especially on a thread like this - of course if Slovitrea could confirm the more specific details it may prove to be more than just cold reading - meanwhile it seems I've caused him wither some kind of embolism (either due to laughing or anxiety) and he can no longer respond or he's calling the police and asking them to track me down.

You are a young teenager that lives in the U.S, in a state that begins with the letter F and shaped like a penis. You have insecurities that prevents you from socializing with others, but this makes you more wiser. After graduating your high school with a GPA of over nine thousand, you soon find out that no one really likes marine biologists, except in Hawaii. So you attend University of Hawaii, Hilo to study the fishies and the pachyderms and the seaweed and the whatnots. After graduating with a B.S in biology, you will spend 12 months finding a job with no luck. You'll regret majoring in biology and will subsequently ask yourself "Why...why didn't I major in something more useful than biology. Like physics or chemistry or engineering. Why didn't I become a millionaire like Norstal?" In your anger, you jumped off a cliff, into the sea. However, because the sea was contaminated with the radiation from the Fukushima power plant fallout, you gained mutant powers. Soon, you emerge as Aquaman, able to communicate with animals and breathe in water. Also you can't die.
