A congregation gathered for their Sunday service in a small Morgantown church.

The subject of the sermon was the supernatural.

The preacher asked his congregation to stand if they believed in ghosts. Nearly half of the people stood.

Next, he asked for those that had ever seen a ghost to remain standing. About 10 people stood.

Finally, he asked for those that ever had a sexual encounter with a whost to remain standing.

One man in overalls stood alone.

The preacher asked this man "Sir, are you telling us that you've had sexual relations with a ghost?"

The man replied "Ghost? I thought you said goat."

Yes. I believe in "ghosts". Whatever you want to believe they are. Spirits of dead people, demons, angels, energy fields, whatever.

Personally, I think the dead do have a tendency to overstay their welcome

Just curious: Why do you believe that? Have you ever seen one yourself?

I can say that if there are no such things as ghosts, then Ryn is able to turn off lights with her mind.

So if you've seen something that you can't explain, why is the default explanation a ghost? I've seen some odd things too that I can't explain but have chalked them up to my mind playing games with me or chance/coincidence. I suppose if a dead relative of mine suddenly appeared in front of me and carried on a conversation with me, I'd be a believer. Anything that drastic or just unusual events?

IMHO, "Ghost" is a label, one of many, to try to explain the unexplainable. Could just as easily be called an alien, time traveler, psychic powers, tricks of the mind, random pizoelectric bursts, etc.

I think its all the same, an attempt to define the undefinable. Humanity is, on the average, made uncomfortable by not being able to clearly pigeonhole things.

My wife and I stayed at the Myrtles, a haunted plantation in Louisiana, and had an interesting experience. The place is obviously old, with the rooms being period. The little bathroom had a wooden door with an old hook and eye latch that you had to consciously lock, and the door swung and stayed "open" naturally. My then GF was in the bathroom, washing her face or whatever, and I was on the bed reading the newspaper sort of responding to her chatting with half of my brain as I read the sports page.

I heard her sort of yell at me "How'd you do that - that's not funny!" "Huh?", I said. Seems that when she opened her eyes after splashing her face the door was now closed and latched shut from the inside.

She was freaked out. Pretty cool. It was in the little girls room, the ones who were killed when they ate their mom's birthday cake that a slave had poisoned. Mom had pitched a fit when her hubby was found to be boinking the slave, and mom had banished her to the fields. She got revenge.
