Christmas and Easter are the most impressive times here, but "the man" is available year round.

I didn't pick any of the choices because it would depend on if it was an evil haunting or a friendly haunting. I've been watching a lot of Ghost Hunters lately.

Assuming it's an evil spirit, my answer was no.

BTW my in-laws live around the street from the amityville house that was used in the movies. It's creepy!

Cool! Have them take a picture of the place and ask them if you can post it here

You know, I was open to owning a haunted house...providing I don't find ANY pentograms during the viewing.

I've been watching "A Haunting" (now ghost hunters, but that's beside the point) and one couple purchased a house with a pentogram painted on some boards that covered one of the fireplaces.

OMG they had such a horror/demon haunting that place that I pretty much am leary about buying one. Even after they got rid of the entity, another one came through because where that pentagram was placed was a portal for demons.

I would buy a house that suited me with lots of wonderful space for my feline friends. Not sure that I believe in all the evil entities people talk about. Why look to the netherworld for bad things when we have enough to keep us occupied in the living?

Also not sure why ghosts or whatever are always supposed to be bad. If the energy is there why can't it be friendly or funny or even uninterested in what we're doing? For me, I don't really disbelieve but I have never had supernatural experiences. All my boogy men were flesh and blood and alive.

Pentagrams aren't bad, either.
Just another symbol that has been given a bad rap with misguided superstition.

I saw the show she watched too. Apparently it was used in some sort of ceremony that opened a portal.

As far as I know Pentagrams are protective symbols. Perhaps the one that was in the house on that show was actually an inverted pentagram?
That would make more sense to me.

You know what? Maybe that's what it was doing. As soon as they ripped off the boards that had the pentagram painted on it, that's when their "demonic" activity started. The Fireplace itself (where you put the wood) was probably the portal.

So I'll just leave the pentagram as is or buy another house

That must have been what I missed in the first 5 minutes. I was puttering around while that part was on. That makes sense.
Yep. Should have left it alone.

I watched a total of probably 10 hours of A Haunting in the last few days.
And there were actually a few shows I hadn't seen before.

Pentagrams are a protection symbol. And "A Haunting" is just as bad as "Most Haunted" They've both been proven as acting.

I already live in a haunted house. I knew it was haunted when I bought it. The previous owners had taped cloves of garlic over every door as a protection against evil. I have mischevious (sp?) spirits, but no one is evil.

Back in the 1950s my Mom had the opportunity (and the money) to buy a early 1800s house and acreage for $5000. (Her dad talked her out of it and now the land is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.)

One of the bedrooms is supposed to be haunted. Mom talked to a couple of friends who slept in that room but sometime during the night they quickly left the house and slept in the barn!

Our house? Well, Mom swears she heard the coffee pot rattle not long after my paternal grandfather died. He liked Mom's cold coffee and always announced his visits by reaching in the kitchen door and shaking the coffee pot to see if there was any coffee in it.

I answered that I would love it, but I wonder if I really would.


I did have a couple experiences when I was alone in my room as a teenager and distincely heard flute music - and no flute in the house. It was right there in my room - weird. A couple other weird things as a teenager, but nothing recently.
