Do you believe in Evil Spirits/Supernatural ect..

[PRINCESS Ariel34]

The other night, there was a documentary on the Discovery Channel called, The Haunting of Conn. (I hope I spelled it right). It was a true story about a family who bought a house which used to be a "CREAMATORY/Funeral Parlor" The mother and father really got on my last nerve. Completely "CLUELESS" Not once did they believe their sons when they said they saw figures in the basement where they slept. I remember watching the part where the Demon spirit started controlling the oldest son. The parents ended up having the son commited because of his strange behavior(HELLO HE WAS POSSESSED). It took the demon to attack the parents before they would believe what their son's had been telling them all along. I could not finish watching this so I don't know what happened in the end. I do wonder why any person in their RIGHT MIND would want to buy a renovated Crematory/Funeral Parlor fulling knowing what went on there.

I wish I had watched this program. I love shows like that.

I don't think I would be brave enough to buy a crematorium or funeral home to live in, but that's just me

 

[Nutsy]

Whoa, that is so weird

Those people must have had a screw loose in the beginning to buy the place.................weird

Certainly not my cup of tea!

I had a friend in High School that lived in a funeral home. Her parents were undertakers. We'd go over there around halloween and get weirded out..LOL.

While I don't believe in possesion (& I think most people don't either), I do think that people can "feel" evil. Call it a hightened awareness or what have you, but I think people can sometimes sense when someone is up to no good. I'm not talking about seeing a seedy, rough-looking bruiser in a dark alley, I'm talking about walking past someone in broad day light & you get a sense to stay away from them. My mom said that when she visited Salem, MA she had an uneasy feeling the whole time.

I believe the human imagination can be an extremely powerful thing. I'm sure if you asked people who had a grade school bully, in their mind they've built up the person as huge & remembering themselves as being relatively small, even if the reality was that the bully may have been the same height or just slightly taller.

I don't have anything I specifically believe in, except that there is "evil". Here's a spooky story.
8 years ago, DH & I went to this Shaker Village in Enfield, MA. It felt "wrong". We went in the church and had to leave. The hair on our arms and back of our neck was standing on end and we could really feel a precense there. And, it wasn't a good presence. It was also freezing in there and it was not that cold outside. I mean, beyond cold, Amityville cold!! We both felt it and we've talked about it over the years wondering what it was. We didn't know anything about the place before we went, we just came across it. And, we've never read anything about it since. Well, two nights ago I'm doing the dishes and DH is watching "Haunted Hotels" on the Travel channel. All of a sudden he's yelling at me to come quick. On the TV is this church!!! We both recognized it right away before the announcer even said anything, we'll never get it out of our heads. There's an inn beside the church which used to be used by the Shakers. During the Civil War, the leader of the Shakers was shot dead on the doorstep. He was NOT a good man, took people's children to help them through tough times and then wouldn't give the kids back. Who knows what else. His ghost haunts the inn!! People can't go up to the top 3 floors of the inn. I tell you, DH & I looked at each other and we KNOW that's what we felt there. Our hair was standing on end again!! I didn't question those feelings 8 years ago, but it was even creepier to see it on TV last night!!!!!!

I know that it freaked me out completely for the rest of the night.

I just saw that show a couple of nights ago. The ghost's name is Caleb Dyer.

I don't particularly believe that they're all evil, but I believe there are ghosts and spirits or whatever they are out there. In fact I've had a few unexplainable things happen. It doesn't really scare me though.

Somebody has been watching too many scary movies! A Funeral Parlor/Crematorium is a building just like any other. Yes lots and lots of dead people were in there. They were poked and proded and filled with strange chemicals and then some of them were burned up into ashes. But what would you rather have done? Would you rather we just took all the dead people out back and threw them over the fence into the neighbors yard? There has to be a place for things like this to occur. That doesn't necessarily mean that funeral parlors are haunted by "evil" spirits. I do not think people who bought an old funeral parlor are crazy. Maybe they got a good deal on the property because they are so many people like you who are ridiculously frightened by such things.

I am not taking any stand on the debate of are their ghosts vs aren't there. I am just saying that just because a building was used to aid in the preservation of the deceased so that people can sit them in a wooden box at the front of their church and look at them while their "spiritual leader" says a few words, doesn't make a building "evil."

Before we bought our home, my wife and I lived in an apartment attached to a funeral home. We lived there for 5 years. I loved it!

There were actually 2 apartments in the funeral home. I can remember the other apt was vacant, and you could get to it through a door in our apt. Well, we were showing some friends of ours the other apt. The door was open leading downstairs to the funeral home and our dog walked down the stairs and was walking around the funeral home. Thank God, showing hours were over. I knew there was no way the dog would hear us yelling for her because she was deaf.

We had to go in after her, in the dark with dead bodies. I could have killed that dog when we found her. She was beside the casket waiting for us to come get her.

I was just praying "Oh, God please don't let me fall down and knock this poor dead guy on the floor".

Anyway I loved the apt.

As a matter of fact when we visited the Titanic exhibition in September DH and I got that ice cold feeling. For any of you that have gone it was right by the "Ghost Picture" The picture of the captain after the ship had sank. Anyway John looks at me and I look at him and we are both ice cold. Needless to say once I looked into it, that exhibit is haunted by a little girl named Katheryn that went down with the ship.

It was the weirdest feeling I've ever had...just ice cold.

I don't believe that a funeral parlor/crematorium is necessarily going to haunted because there were dead people there. I work in a hospital...hello! Dead people have been there too!

I do believe that dead people may haunt anywhere where they died and it wasn't expected. Sort of like they're saying"What do you mean I'm dead? That can't be!"

I live across form an old cemetery...some stones are Revolutionary War era...and this time of year the place is hopping with people trying to ghosts etc. I've never seen or felt anything funny. As a matter-of-fact, my in-laws are buried there and I actually found it to be such a nice, peaceful cemetery that DH and I bought a plot.

In the next town over form me, there's an old cemetery and supposedly there's a young woman wearing a blue nightgown that wanders around near it because she was killed near there many years ago. I've never seen her.

I do believe in spirits...I just don't think they're usually trying to scare us as much as make contact.

Wow! Pretty harsh, I'd say! She may be truly afraid of such things. Maybe you aren't but you don't have to be so mean.

I think there are certain "energies" in places. Some good, some not.

 

[holycow]

Yes,
I do believe in evil and spirit etc...there is no doubt in my mind that there is good and bad in this world and it continues on into the next also...

BTW..my French teacher took a trip to Paris and stayed in a little
hotel but she kept feeling the most oppressive feelings...she couldn't shake it....she then asked someone about it and the place she was staying was where they blockaded the streets during the French Revolution...many people died there....

I also agree with Leannapen...why does everyone have to think the same way you do Disney845?...and just because the people got a "good deal" on the property...I think the well being of their children was more important than the property!...
