But I have also been lucky to have some really cool experiences that made me a confirmed believer.<br /><br />Besides the Villisca house, my daughter's father and I went to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park a few years ago. It was definitely an experience - lots of activity for sure. We were up on the fourth floor where two young children are supposed to spend a lot of time. There is even a bench in one of the halls where guests leave small toys, candy, and quarters. Chase was asking if there were any kids who wanted to play hide and seek and we both heard a voice say, "Hi". It was amazing. Then as we were leaving that hall, I heard what sounded like someone walking behind me, running their hand along the wall. Every time I stopped, the noise would continue another second, then stop. There were three different textures on the wall and I tested them out, and it was the middle panel, about the right height for a younger child. Also got a couple very cool pictures. And we stayed on the 3rd floor and there were tons of noises throughout the night from the floor above that sounded like stomping on wooden floors and furniture being dragged about. Yet all the floors had been carpeted for a couple decades by this time. It never felt dangerous or unsafe. It was very peaceful, like the spirits who are there have stayed because they loved it so much in their lifetime, it is where they want to stay.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-42642680408505436002017-12-29T19:00:35.816-06:002017-12-29T19:00:35.816-06:00I haven't met any, personally.

I've visited sites that were supposedly haunted and not felt anything, but I go in dubious, so I probably scare the spirits off. :-p Personally, I think some inexplicable experiences are brain glitches -- brief moments when our brains get confused and create weird images or sensations for a second.

It was okay. As I read the article I found it interesting that he pointed out Ghost Hunters as the problematic show, whereas Ghost Adventures is literally the dumbest of any of the shows, because those idiots always assume it is an angry spirit or demon who is cussing at them and wanting to hurt them. I find Ghost Hunters much more willing to say, these are all the things not paranormal, and over here are things that could be but we do not know for sure. I think they always look for logical or reasonable answers first and don't just always assume it is a ghost.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-91734381114859634482017-12-28T20:22:25.258-06:002017-12-28T20:22:25.258-06:00Have you ever heard of Joe Nickell?

I read a couple of his books years ago and enjoyed his analyses of how things might have happened, or what was causing certain observations..<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_NickellStephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097908023032528200noreply@blogger.com
