The Haunted House Diaries: The True Story of a Quiet Connecticut Town in the Center of a Paranormal Mystery | William J. Hall

I admit I'm a skeptic. I don't believe in the paranormal, ghosts, evil spirits and things that go bump in the night. I listened to this with an open mind, but heard nothing to change my opinion. The book is unfocused, wanting to discuss every theory possible. Dead relatives, beings from a different dimensional plane (maybe 2D instead of 3D), time travelers, aliens and secret government black ops are all considered. 2 💥💥 out of 5

Kaye I DO believe in ghosts. Always have. I‘ve read SO many books about them and it‘s very rare that a book can capture the true “feeling” of what it‘s like. Sorta like I‘ve never seen a photo that can do the ocean justice. It‘s something that needs to be seen and heard to experience it properly. I think ghosts are the same. Just giving my opinion. I‘m 100 % sure. And I think it‘s more of a feeling than a seeing like the tv shows portray. (edited) 6y

RamsFan1963 @kaye One interesting theory the author puts out is that non believer, like myself, put out a kind of negative energy field that blinds us to the paranormal, and causes paranormal phenomena to cease in our presence. Our non belief makes it harder for the "spirits" to make themselves known, thus reinforcing our opinion. I had a roommate who felt she was very sensitive to this kind of thing, but the noises and shadows always stopped when I 6y

RamsFan1963 @kaye ...came into the room. I treat the paranormal like flying saucers, I admit they could exist, but never having seen it myself I remain skeptical. 6y

Kaye Perfectly understandable. I know lots of people have that opinion, that if they SEE IT then they‘ll believe it. I know I‘ll sound like a Fruitcake ( but I don‘t care) 😁, I can step into a place and tell there‘s Something There that you can‘t see. You can FEEL that it‘s there .. We lived in a house once like that when I was a teen. I could feel that before stepping in the door. Let‘s just say I found out later there was a history of odd events 6y

Kaye Happening there that we weren‘t told about ahead of time. No one else believed it, but I did and still do. It wasn‘t a NICE feeling, but evil. It didn‘t look like a haunted house. Just ordinary. But something else was living there with us. (edited) 6y

Kaye Your roommate sounds about right. I think if you don‘t believe, then you‘re not listening or watching for anything unusual. Or maybe perceptive to it. Hard to explain. I‘m as sure of this as I am of anything in my life. Positive. (edited) 6y

Kaye Do you ever visit someone at a grave and feel their presence ? It‘s sorta like that only much stronger. 6y

RamsFan1963 @kaye Not really, just a usual feeling of sadness. I never made fun of my roommates beliefs, even the tarot card readings, but I know it drove her crazy when she would hear some banging noise, yell for me to come to the living room, then have absolute silence when I got there. Women, in my experience, seem more attuned to these things than men. 6y

Kaye I‘ve never gotten into tarot cards or any of that sorta stuff. I can just feel an eerie feeling in certain places. It‘s only happened at 2 or 3 homes I‘ve been in , only one I‘ve lived in. I do think there‘s a bit of a stigma thing regarding men.....they maybe don‘t feel the freedom to believe in certain things because they‘re supposed to be tough and strong and no nonsense. 6y

Lauram I‘m with you @Kaye. I‘ve had experiences I can‘t explain. I‘ve been in places that have given me unsettling feelings but I‘ve felt cold taps on my head and arm in a famous cathedral and saw a telephone move when sitting with my mom. (edited) 6y
