Halloween is almost here! What a better time to bring up ghosts and the supernatural?
Many people and cultures believe in ghosts and entities. forty-six percent of Americans believe in ghosts, according to a 2019 study by Ipsos.
The study also delved into other forms of the supernatural, “A third believe that aliens visit earth (32%), while only a small amount believe in vampires (7%) and zombies (6%).”
There are many places in North Texas here is a list of some places in the DFW area:
Sons of Hermann Hall
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham (Originally the Scott Hotel)
White Rock Lake (Lady of the Lake)
Millermore House
Miss Molly’s Hotel
THAT... would not work out well.
Well, even if you don’t believe this show is pretty interesting.

"I don't understand the Holy Spirit thing. Is it a bird?"
Winner
I had a singular experience right after a close relative passed away
I assumed it was a spirit trying to mess with me
No details at this time but 3 occurrences in 2-3 hours (or less; don’t remember)
Conversely there are Good Angels to counter the bad.
House is 200 years old. We have an Indian upstairs. Why is he upstairs? He doesn’t do anything. When we were renovating, I heard someone say “I like that” (mid 1800’s when mining gravel, they dug up 40 human skulls)
Bump for later ghost stories... 👻
A classmate of mine and his family rented an older house for a few months while construction on their new house was finishing up. His dad was in real estate. This house was supposed to be haunted, but none of us, parents included, believed in the nether world. A few months later, I over heard my mom telling someone on the phone that the family was having problems in the house. I asked what it was about but mom told me it was nothing. Then a few weeks later I heard her talking to my grandmother about it. Noises and something with the temperature. The family had heard something fall, went down stairs and nothing was broken except a rocking chair was moving - like someone got up from it. My friends sister was a basket case and stayed with another family for the rest of the time. They eventually got into their new house but it creeped him out for a bit. Years later, after it was all over, I was in Jr High and one of our teachers brought up the place with another teacher while we were at a school function. Poltergeist came out a few years after this and all I could think about when I watched it was that house.
He only talked about it once in high school and said his dad thought it was raccoons.
Heard a terrible crash in the kitchen — like someone dropping a tray of silverware — and when we went to investigate not a single thing was out of place.

Did you check upstairs?
Antietam Battlefield Park is haunted for sure.
The wife and I saw a ghost in our house. It was a female, wearing a robe and slippers. She walked about 10 feet and turned into the bedroom of her Mother who was 94 at the time. It was so real, no frontal view, but the bottom on the slippers were real as reality. We thought it was her mom, but we opened the door and she was out like a light. Who knows what it is, but it happened 3 years ago and never again.

So I hear from people who camped out at night illegaly of course.
William Faulkner pinches pretty young girls in the back hallway of his house in New Orleans (now a bookstore). If you discus his work in this house you will smell his pipe.
Given there’s no such things as ghosts, that would be a bad law.
Why would the ghost of your dad choose that to let you know he was around?
Rarely, very shortly after passing (usually within just a few days) the spirit of a person may visit a loved one to say goodbye. One and done and they move on. This has happened to several people I know.
Anything more, it’s a demon looking for a foothold.
Spirits are not to be triffeld with. Do not engage them. Do not intentionally provoke them. Do not use a ouija board or attempt to contact them. Get the house exercised. Do not ignore “invisible friends” hanging around your child. Do not ignore your child when they report odd activity in their room. Spiritual warfare is real.
Children are the closest to God and their light draws the darkness. Protect them.
Arm yourself with the word of God.
I was going to date a spirit, but she ghosted me.
