[QUOTE="headknocker, post: 1975503, member: 559453"] I forgot to mention. My wife and I visited Salem,MA last October and took in one of their nightly ghost tours....a really cool experience. One of the last places on the tour was the old jail(which has been closed since the mid-80's). When my eyes were able to adjust and focus on the structure I could feel my hair standing on end...the place was spooky. The guide said quite a few things have happened to people on the tour when they've been standing there looking at the place. There was once a sewing factory on the other side of the jail which had burned to the ground a long time ago. It was used during the time before child labor laws had been enacted and quite a few young girls worked at the place when the fire claimed their lives. Child-bearing age women have been touched on numerous occasions....even our guide has had her coat pulled several times over the years. Supposedly, there are spirits of the girls wandering around still looking for their mothers. There's also a street in Salem(the name escapes me) where the ghost tours refuse to visit. It's supposed to be the most haunted area of the town and not for the timid. I find this stuff fascinating but there are some things which I don't think you should fool around with. I'm just glad to see so many of you being open-minded about this stuff. I'm 46 so I've had more experience with death and general life experiences than the typical guy who visits this site. [/QUOTE]
