Hot spots for specters include the castle’s prison cells, the South Bridge vaults and Mary’s King Close, a disused street used to quarantine and eventually entomb victims of the plague.

looks like the researcher didn’t visit India :smiley:

Not exactly about ghosts but somwhat related. There was this report, before the Brazil vs Germany match in 2014 wc, that a Brazilian black magician cursed the Germany team and they would not win. Guess, what happened? Brazil lost 7-1, their worst defeat in their entire history. For me, all this black magic, ghosts etc. is baloney. I do believe in Jinns, as they are mentioned in my holy book, but I have never seen them personally.

In high school, I had a friend who was quite interested in these things. He took me and one of my friends to graveyards and other shady places to experience these supernatural forces but we did not find anything despite being frightened to death and shivering all night. One of those shady places became our secret cigarette smoking place later on. Happy memories!

^ Ghosts no, jinns yes?

hahahaha…you remind of of my college days, I had a smoker friend who would take me to such horrible places to smoke a packet of cigarettes and talk about world’s problems, are you from lahore?

lol, no. I am from Karachi. My friend was from Lahore and he was half-crack.

Never saw/experienced either. I believe in jinns because it’s stated in my holy book. I can’t rationalize.

I feel ghosts are real. Despite their existance cannot be quanitified and NPVed in a DCF model, it’s one of those things where faith overcomes logical reason.

I do believe in curses too. My roots are in Chi Town. The owner of Billy Goats used to love Chi Town sports and would often bring his goat for good luck. The Blackhawks allowed the goat in theri stadium and he blessed them. The Cubs did not allow the goat in their stadium and he cursed them. This was ~50 years ago, and it’s ironic the Cubs continue to suck while the Blackhawks are killing Cup after Cup.

I’ll bump my Ouigia board thread.

This is faulty reasoning. It is well-known that German wizards outclass Brazilian black magic any day of the week.

as an Ohio University undergrad, I can tell you there is a ton of spooky stuff in Athens. A friend of mine was convinced there was a ghost that lived in her dorm closet freshman year. Fortunately for her it was friendly.

^ Share the tales.

What do I know?..

Helio Silman who supports to be an expert in black magic, claims that he has cursed the “Panzer”.“I’ll take the Germanys best player and i will tie his legs so he will not be able to run,” he said, having in his house Dummies of players of Cameroon, Chile, Croatia and Mexico while he also claims that his magic clearly works if we are to look at the progress of “selesao” so far.

How friendly? :stuck_out_tongue:

So some dude was hiding in her closet and banging her in the middle of night?

And that’s the second time my Dad gave one of my friends herpes.

I believe in Bhangarh fort horror tales.

Come on!!! Surveys have shown that no one has returned alive from the fort after darkness!!! Govt of India has “prohibited the visitors to stay any where near the fort after the sunset”-I don’t think we need any other proof…

Or government itself might be using that place for some secret thing and would not want people to come near it.

My ancestors came from Rajhastan and some still live there. I will try to sneak in next time I visit my relatives. Will definitely look good on my CV. :wink:

^

So Indian Govt has some super natural powers which is causing the roofs to fall off for no valid reason?

According to you Indian Govt has hired serial killers to kill any one roaming around the haunted fort after sunset?

Good to know that there is apparently a “ghost fort survival survey” to clear up such issues.

Then don’t.

Declaring nothing else exists, then saying Djinns exist despite never having seen one and only because YOUR book tells you they exist is… too common from that part of the world.

Hahaha… I’m really surprised. Changi Beach isn’t that haunted. Quite a number of people will pitch tent and stay there for the night on weekends. Back when I was in the Army, my camp happened to be near that beach, it’s pretty alright.
