I'm finally back in the land of reliable internet, after a bit of a delay (connecting flight got cancelled last night, had to "sleep" at MIA airport...), but of course it's already the 7th, and I'm already too late :( So sorry, Lee. And—wow, LOVED your intro to this collaboration we're doing next Wednesday! I'm really looking forward to that, especially since it'll play into both our BoTB posts for the 15th...

Wha...LEE, our votes actually agreed in your Battle. Whaddaya know? See? It DOES happen. Not often, but occasionally.<br /><br />Ghosts... there is DEFINITELY something supernatural going on in places. That is a fact with a great deal of evidence to support it. Are these ghosts or demons pretending to be the spirit remains of people who have lived before? Or is it a combination of those two things - sometimes ghosts, sometimes demons?<br /><br />I think it's IMPOSSIBLE to know for certain. Therefore, I side with caution and avoid the whole thing. I don't want to be in haunted places and don't want to encourage any form of interaction with these beings - whatever they are. (I have firsthand experiences from the past. Today, I try not to even think about the subject, lest my thoughts be interpreted as invitation.)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
