I've seen Bigfoot. Twice. Sorta.

Besides the point.

I'm just teasing because every logical cause was left out of here and went straight to demon possession. I've seen dogs react the same way after being startled out of a sleep by their own fart.

I'll butt out now so I don't hurt anyone's feelings. I've been a good boy lately, and should have bit my keyboard on this one, too.

I saw a UFO. So there.

Of course, unidentified isn't NECESSARILY "alien." But I like to think it was.

Obviously in search of a wafghan.

Yup. I'm pretty open-minded, but I would take a hint from Sherlock Holmes and eliminate everything else (prove everything else to be impossible), THEN whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

That is, FIRST you eliminate the obvious commonplace stuff before you accept that an improbable solution has to be true because it's all that's left.

Thats exactly what they do on Ghost Hunters!

I'd start with mice, not demons.

That's what we did. We had an exterminator come out a couple of times to look for vermin...nothing. We had a room FILLED with bees (in the winter!) to the point that we had to tape the edges of the French doors to contain them because they kept ramming the glass and trying to escape through the cracks into the rest of the house. We called out a bug guy FOUR TIMES, and even though he couldn't find a nest or point of origin (or explain their presence in the winter), they kept coming back. One day we woke up and they were gone.

When light bulbs started exploding we called an electrician...he found no problems. Same with the plumber when we had problems with leaks (with no actual leaks, just water everywhere) and the heater-guy when we couldn't get the temp in the house above 50 F when we had the thermostat turned all the way up to 90 F.

We called pros every time hoping against hope that they would find something, fix it, and the problem would be solved. We were spending $250/week to keep our house at 50 F and buying light bulbs by the case; we would have given ANYTHING if it were that simple. But it was always "sorry ladies, I can't find anything with your/wiring/plumbing/heating/etc. that would be causing this". Only then did we concede that what we were seeing, feeling and experiencing could be something...else.

My daughter's teacher came to visit to see our new place, and the first thing out of her mouth was "your house scares me, it feels like there's something not-so-nice here".

I don't believe the house was possessed because I simply don't believe that everything we don't necessarily understand is automatically a case of 'demon possession'. Paranormal, okay. Possessed, not so much.

I have never seen big foot or a UFO, but I HAVE seen a Wafghan. That alone has to open our minds to terrifying possibilities of encounters beyond the human capacity for understanding

Those Arkansas woods are full of weird stuff. I have spent a LOT of time in the backwoods and the two scariest and strangest things ever have happened to me while on the Quachita Trail.

My TV got possessed yesterday, Dexter would not come in the room when it was on.

We had a power surge and he had his invisible fence collar on and got zaped! The new battery went flat, poor boy.

Couple marker training session and the TV is all ok now. The demon has been fixed!

You lived in Amityville!

No holy water? Colloidal silver?

Obviously Kristel's ghosts were not "green". Wasteful bastards.

What I find the awesome-est is that tape overcame the paranormal powers and contained the bees to one room. Had to have been duct tape. That $#!t will fix ANYTHING.

Kristel, **** the book. I think you may have movie material there. I would have been gone in a day.

You sure know how to keep a hick in suspense.

Did this involve banjos?
