There's no such thing as "haunted." This is psychological and imaginary. Ghosts are not real.

I live in a house where a murder occurred many years ago. The only spook in it is my cat, who is named "Spooky."

I wonder how many of those strange phenomena just happened to occur after the renters found out about the house.

"There's no such thing as "haunted." !

No Father Christmas, No Deity intervening in man's affairs, and likely because he doesn't exist and now Hauntings are not real either.

Going to have to find something else for my mysteries of life. :)

You don't believe in ghosts? Well, my big brother told me that he could hear, late at night, the spectre in the attic. He said he heard the wooden leg on the attic floor....

Well, my big brother also kept a lion under our front porch. He had the girl next door terrified. Well, he would go downstairs to the basement with chocolate pudding to feed the lion. The girl was too scared to go down.

And I almost believed big brother about the ghost - even though I tried and could not hear the wooden leg.

yeah there is. I am an athiest post mormonism. I have seen supernatural phenomena, although I don't believe it is attributed to a God scenario.

Yes, it is Josh. Says so in the article.




Utah family flees former Powell home after learning of grisly past
Two months ago, Joanna Aeosana moved into the West Valley City house where Susan Cox Powell lived with her husband and two sons before she disappeared in 2009. Aeosana, who has since vacated, feels someone should have told her about the disappearance — and the husband's subsequent murder-suicide with their children — before she signed the lease.

FULL DISCLOSURE ... I thought it was supposed to be part of the deal. They were leasing. Not buying.

The murder-suicide took place in Washington. Whether Josh Powell killed His wife in their home, or some other location, is not known.

Exactly. I suppose the haunting is supposed to be Susan Powell?

Yeah, thanks Susie.

I started following the story the day Susan Powell was reported missing.

Everything her husband said, did not add up at all!

From going camping in the middle of the night with two very young
boys, in the winter. No receipt from the camping office.
He also claimed she had a boyfriend, nothing he said made sense!

The saddest thing, how he ended. What an evil man he was!

Tell them that the ghosts will leave if the sing this song: "You make my eyes pop out of their sockets! For you, I'd empty all my pockets!"

(The song that the creepy father of Josh Powell wrote when thinking of his son's wife.)

Very sad case, all around, of course.

I've seen strange things too, unexplained things. I don't jump to the conclusion that those are supernatural, though. They just didn't have ready explanations.

What you're experiencing when you get the shivers and think something weird is happening: HADD. That is the "Hyperactive Agency Detection Device" in your brain. We evolved to be hypersensitive to agents, and that's because detecting a real threat has extreme value compared to just detecting something like wind blowing, which isn't a threat. It's better to get spooked at something innocuous than to ignore a tiger!

This device has one disadvantage though. It makes some of us believe in ghosts, demons and.....gods.

Just think of all the millions of people who have died due to treachery. Wouldn't they all be expected to "haunt" their former abodes? That would mean just about every house on earth would be haunted to some extent. Funny how it is only the famous folk who get to announce their disappointment of their lives.

People just lose all credibility when they believe in the supernatural. I wouldn't choose to live in a house that people had been murdered in, but I also know it wouldn't be haunted. I would just have a hard time not thinking about the grisly history.

I am a very credible person, but there is something going on when so many people report seeing apparitions, ghosts, etc.

I believe in energy for sure. And I believe that negative energy can be trapped somewhere. Therefore, I believe that a home where a murder took place can harbor negative energy. A ghost?? Probably not. At least not a spirit. But more of just bad energy. That's just my two cents.
