I saw the pic and read the text, but I don't get the statement that "the face does not look human" What face?

I personally don't know what to make of this. Heretofore, I laughed at people who believed in ghosts.

I hope they can find a logical explanation for this.

I'm sure they will, and I'm sure it will be buried in section D, page 42 in your local newspaper.

I remember seeing a thing on TV about a brit who, angry with the security camera installed across the street which looked directly into his living room, dressed up as a very convincing looking alien and walked around in front of it.

What? A fetish of having sex while you're robbing a bank?

--

Most of these ghastly phenomena are attributed to light tricks--this would most likely be a pretty good practical joke.

Oh! I see. The ghost idea. However, I'm sure someone out there could get a hard on from lines such as "THIS IS A STICK-UP, DROP TO THE GROUND AND GIMME THE MONEY!" etc. And seeing all those scared civilians and soiled-boxers-tellers must also give some sick **** an erection. And the money, being handed into the bag...I'm not drawing anything, but be assured someone somewhere is jacking off to this description.

I live in an apartment of the former Gestapo HQ, and there are still a lot of banging and screaming from the attic upstairs.

I've actually been to the attic ,and in one room there are a lot of chains hanging from the ceiling. Every time you try to enter the room some stange force keeps you away and a lot of dog barking starts.

No person have since ever had any proposal for actually making that room into something useful, like keeping old stuff, and things you don't need, but thought funny to keep anyway.

There you go.

****, you would never ever want to live there.

I could just imagine that if you pull out the chains blood would pour from the sockets.

My mother lived in a haunted house for a while. She used to hear footsteps going up and down the stairs at night when everyone was in bed.

Bottom line: I'm open-minded.

This load of rubbish is on your front pages here.

Why would a ghost need to open a door?
