I AM a photographer, and the whole orb 'phenomena' drives me to madness. :evil: When you use poor photography techniques and questionable lighting you can easily get these kinds of artifacts. Most 'orbs' don't show up on professional photos - because we know how to avoid them.

Yes, it was a real salt-water shark, can't remember what kind. They figured it was a prank or something. The lake wasn't connected to the sea in any way.

Holy crap! A spider big enough to make a tapping sound in my bedroom wall would scare me far worse than a ghost! :shock:

Now that's funny! :lol:

I know I read recently (like in the last couple of months) that a small shark was found in a lake in Indiana or something. Can't remeber the source.

Not a drug, but once I got some exotic spices for a gift, and after I ate a meal made with lots of the spice I had one of the worst nightmares of my life! :shock: I also had some pretty wigged-out dreams while I was on painkillers for a nasty ear infection.

Not only that, but how could they know what kinds of affects ghosts would even have on the environment (if they did exist outside of people's minds)? I love how they declare 'temperature fluctuations' or 'electromagnetic readings' are sure signs a ghost is around... :roll:

Too true - we are a dumb people sometimes. Sigh...:oops:

Yep, these cretins are all too real. I have a feeling it'll all end badly, like a Waco/David Korresh fiasco. Saddest of all are the kids of this cult - they are the ones really getting screwed up.

Oh no - I just played Halo! Now I have to go commit crimes! :cry:

Yes - god forbid people shouldn't accept at face value everything they read on the internet... :roll:

How many times do we need to have this proven? It wasn't true during Mesmer's day, and it still ain't true. Give the magnets a rest already, people! :roll:

My country is doomed. :cry:

Whaddya mean Americans are pushy!? Let me tell you something, buddy, we are the un-pushiest country in the world! :x Why I oughta...

Or maybe they're just religious nuts. :wink:

Don't forget Nick Bakay's Evil Clown Comics! http://www.nickbakay.com/archives/evil_clown/

Cute!? Why, that's a ferocious Bumble! He'd gobble you up in a minute! :shock:

Ha ha, me too! Scared the crap out of me as a kid. I love him now, tho.

reflection of a lamp?

Of course, consider the 'preacher's daughter' syndrome, where extreme social/sexual suppression merely whets the appetite for forbidden fruit. :wink: Personally, I don't think religion makes a whole lot of impact on morality, either for good or ill. There are plenty of believers out there...

Ha! I loved that show when I was a kid! :D

:shock: Yikes. Let's hope it's for creating inoculations - it would make more sense. I believe a lot of bad things about the government here in the states, but I can hardly believe they're stockpiling anthrax. Of course, with the transparency level of the Bush administration, who knows...

You know, I think I could. :wink: Well, sounds like you've got as bad across the pond as we do. Sigh...

Brilliant - my hat is off to you, sir! :D Might I nominate you for the US Congress?

There are a number of other factors involved: 1. I don't know the poster, his mother, etc. How do we know they're all telling the truth? (I'm sure they are, btw - I'm just saying that from our perspective, they're just someone on the internet). People have been known to hoax other people now...

Wasn't there an old ghost story by JS Lefanu about some demon monkey haunting a priest, trying to make him kill himself? I think it was it called 'Green Tea'.

Since I don't know what the object is, I don't even know that they are 'legs'.

Re: Easter bunny and Christ Ditto. Back to the rabbits - anyone ever see 'Alice' by Jan Svankmajer? The White Rabbit in that will give you the willies. Brrr... :shock:

An experimental architecture company is trying to simulate a 'haunted' space for somewhat obscure reasons - LINK.

i'd rather see some other, less obvious country do it - like Belgium, or Argentina. Somebody comes up with a revolutionary new design for space travel and suddenly everyone's up there! :D

As a photographer, I see some object photographed with a very slow shutter speed not using a tripod or monopod, which is necessary for night photography unless you're using a flash. There is both motion blur (from the camera), and possibly overexposure as well. Also, the pic in general seems odd...

Re: Easter Bunny Well, that's the Xtians for ya - God forbid someone, somewhere, may be enjoying themselves without somehow shoehorning Jesus into the whole thing. Don't even get me started on Christmas... :evil:

Dude, you are dark. :shock:

Very cozy-looking - looks like a great place to while away a Sunday afternoon! With a good book of ghost stories, of course.

Well, I didn't mean stinking drunk. You can get the tunnel vision effect long before you're plastered. Besides, for some people 3 pints is a lot to drink! :_pished:

Haha, great story! Kind of reminds of 'The Night The Ghost Got In', by James Thurber!

Hmmm...how to put this delicately? Were you drunk? :nonplus: Reason I ask is, you develop tunnel vision as you imbibe, so if you were a little soused you might not have seen (for example) some joker trying to slide your glass off the shelf. Just a thought!

Back to reality: here's one tough hombre - Jack McNiece. US Army Pathfinder and leader of the 'Filthy 13' who survived the most combat jumps of anyone in WWII. Link. Of course, let's not forget WWII tough guys on the other side of the pond - the Red Devils! Link. I'd take those guys...

It keeps me hopeful! If I can just last another 15-20 years...

For a minute I thought this thread was about Chan Marshall. :D Link

That is totally awesome!

So what was the Flatwoods monster, anyway?

Fixed it. Marv! That guy could kick anyone's ass, pirate or ninja!

New bigfoot sighting - this one is a little unusual. :wink: Link.

A thought-form what, now? :?

Then there's always this guy:

Who's the cat that won't cop out When there's danger all about? Shaft is like a million ninjas! :yeay:

Ok, not to freak you out, but that's where my 'dream' amusement park is - along a boardwalk. :shock: Actually, that's not too terribly surprising. Lots of amusement parks are on piers or board walks, or at least a river or lake. And my amusement park is really a mish-mash of all the parks...

Jeez - just tell me you guys also don't have recurring dreams about a huge amusement park either, with a Haunted House attraction that's a half-submerged steamboat... :shock: Seriously, that's bizarre! Wonder why all the cool stuff is always in the basement?
