I posted this over on my Facebook and am getting some interesting responses, and it is that time of the year for ghosties and spooks, so here goes . . .Yesterday, I visited the Whaley House in San Diego. This residence is officially designated to be "haunted" by California authorities - don't ask me who makes that determination or how, but I suspect it is someone from the California Tourism Board.
Accompanied by a friend (who suggested to the tour guide that the only spirits at work when people report supernatural occurrences are those in a couple of double margaritas), we listened to the stories and this led me to pose the following questions to YOU:
1. Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
2. Why do people want to hear ghost stories and believe them?
I will share from facebook and interesting observation by a popular Cathoblogger:
I do believe in spooks. I do. I do. I do.
If we believe in heavan and hell then we acknowledge "realms" outside our existance or understanding. I believe in angels and demons, I believe that souls of the departed and saints are active in ou...r lives whether we aware of it or not. I think many people confuse this activity as a "ghost" in general. Have you seen the purgatory museum in Rome... perfect example. If some one who didn't have a religous faith or understanding experienced this kind of contact they would not understand it's source. It's also easy to dismiss paranormal activity as noonesense when in fact demonic forces could be behind it. You know the greatest feat of the devil was to convince ppl he doesnt exists. By dismissing it or not protecting yourself you are now open to it's evil...
Your thoughts? And yes, above is a picture I took at the Whaley House yesterday.

I would like the ghost of Ronnie Reagan to come and fix this mess.
Some say that Sarah Palin is channeling RR.
I would suspect that the children are in the corn field.
