I experienced a haunting a few years ago.


The thing is, a friend dared me to eat some datura that day.

I doubt it really happened.

No offense taken. I'm looking for answers and have no agenda here. That is a possible answer. But, it's not just me that it's happening to. My wife and kids have had similar things happen to them as well.

No you don't.....You love living in your make believe fantasy land, don't you?
Now admit it you really do. I enjoyed playing what if, or make believe games when I was a child too, but I out grew them and left childish things behind.

Hey if anyone's house should be haunted, it would be mine. There's been at least one murder and one other death in my house, and guess what? There aren't any ghosts!

But oh yeah...I don't believe in the supernatural so I don't imagine things happening that aren't. I sleep right over the spot where the murder occurred and have no issues with it.

I can see why you would want to be an atheist. Life must be really scary for you! Devils could jump out to get you at any moment, or like in the movie "The Ring" some freaky little girl could come out of the TV and kill you the next time you turn it on. Ghost, Goblins, all the stuff people believed hundreds of years ago, you still believe in. It must be a terrifying world for you.

Do you know what will happen to me if I ask God to strike me down right now? Nothing. Not one thing will happen - because none of that stuff you believe in is real. Here, I'll show you:

"God I dare you send a bolt out of heaven and strike me down right now."

Nothing. Nothing happened. I can blasphemy god without consequence. And there is no power in your prayer. It's all one big fat happy lie that you believe. The power of your prayer is indistinguishable from just thinking thoughts to yourself that no other being can interpret.

There's no God, or devil, or jesus or angels or saints. Prayer is just thinking to yourself. When you die, you are gone. Sorry for the spoiler, but that's how this movie ends.

It's all make believe. See what I'm saying? You've been had. All this stuff you believe is not real.

It's really people's nerves is all. Give these people a good drink (alcohol has an ingredient in it called "don't care") and see if they still see all the supernatural stuff.

Are you asking if I have ever been scared?
Yes, of course.

If you are really looking for answers check out a publication/organization that is sponsored by California Institute of Technology (university), "Cal-Tech". The web site is www.skeptic.com. They have reported on a LOT of scientific research into these types of pheonom.
