Ghost Caught On Cam

How creepy is this?

I won't be spending the night there anytime soon.

Me: Scott, check this out. Pretty creepy huh!?

Scott: If I believed in ghosts it would be.

Me: WHAT?!? You don't believe in ghosts?

Scott: Nope.

Me: So, you're saying if you spent the night in one of these creepy-assed places, you wouldn't be scared at all?

Scott: Of course I'd be scared. I'd be scared stupid. But it'd be me scaring myself, not some ectoplastmic purple haired troll doll.

Later on he had this to say: "I'd sleep in just about any haunted house. But before I went to bed, I'd very loudly announce to everyone within earshot that, seeing as how this is a haunted house, I had decided to bring my trusty 12-gauge Browning semi-automatic ultralight shotgun along, which I would then shake most dramatically. I'd then explain, again very loudly so that all may hear, even (especially) those I can't see, that those ghosts won't have a chance because I'll sleep with it across my lap with the safety off and my finger on the trigger. Because, since everyone agreed I'd be left alone, the only things I'd shoot would be ghosts or rats.

Of course, I wouldn't load the damned thing, or maybe I'd just put blanks in it. I don't want to murder the sneaky bastards perpetuating these haunted house myths, just scare them into leaving me alone."

Personally I think he's full of crap. But I'm most definitely going to spend the night in a hotel on the other side of town if he ever tries this.

Thanks to Carrie! You get a Creepy No-Prize!

You know, I just bought a really nice two bedroom house, right across from an elementary school. Owner only wanted $50,000 for it, and in this location I could probably sell it for four times that, without even fixing it up at all.

Only two things bugging me about it though.

First, the previous owner didn't say a word at the closing, and just let his agent do all the talking. I figured he might just be paranoid about legal stuff, but as we shook hands on the closing, he said one really weird thing... "I'm sorry." He left without another word, and in the months since I moved in, I haven't heard a thing from him.

Second, weird grayish areas are appearing on walls and doors, kind of like mildew but not as well defined. A lot of the paint is cracking and peeling, so it's obviously some cheap stuff that the previous owner slapped down to make the place look nice, and I figured the pigment is probably just breaking down in spots. But what's weird is, some of the grey areas are touching... and they are kind of taking the shape of a row of three-foot-high human figures, holding hands.

Why am I mentioning this in a thread about haunted houses? I dunno. ;)

And WHY are you NOT taking pixes of this!?!

Because it doesn't really show on cameras. It's very faint, and almost more like a slight alteration in the reflective properties of the surface than a real darkening. Still, I can take some pix... if nothing else, I can show you my filthy bachelor pad.

Seriously, though, it's probably just a faint brush stroke pattern starting to show through. There are at least three coats of paint on the walls, and it's cracking and peeling everywhere. Lots of work to do on it, and my top priority is cleaning out the crawlspace so I can put down a vapor barrier. There's crap you wouldn't believe piled up under the house, and several parts that are completely bricked off.
