Do you believe in ghosts? Do you think there are spirits walking among us all the time? Do you believe that people's spirits stay on earth because they have unfinished business here and they can't leave until they truly are ready to go? There are many theories and "evidence" saying that ghost/spirits and demons walking among are real and not just a myth.

Maybe they are not exactly everywhere, but there are many stories involving spirits and demons. Many people don't believe because they are scared to believe. Are you denying the existence of ghost and spirits?

Located on the grounds of Roanoke College’s campus is the reportedly haunted house known as Monterey. This house was built in 1853 by the Huff family, over time passed through many different owners, and in 2002 was officially bought by Roanoke College. Throughout the history of the house several of the occupants are known to have died within the premises of the property, thus contributing to it’s reputation of being haunted.

Back in the 1900s there was a rumor going around the small town of Jefferson that there was a haunted house back in the woods that nobody has ever been to in about 75 years. On May 24, 1922, 3 kids named Ashley, Billy, and Cody put it to the test to see if they could find this house that everyone had been talking about. When they found the house after 4 hours of searching for it, all 3 kids walked up to the house. From the outside the house was very scary, big bushed not trimmed down, veins running down every window that they could see, and a big door that had not been painted or touched in a really long time. As Cody knocked on the door they got a little frightened at the sight of the door opening by itself when Cody knocked. “The house already

I am testing the pseudoscience of haunted houses. In the history of the world there has been multiple reporting’s of haunted houses. The majority of these reporting’s have been about buildings in which tragic or violent events have happened.

Such explanations include creepy sounds, unexplained drafts, and the like. These could be due to a leaky pipe, unstable foundations or even people’s own perceptions of things around them.

Ghosts, what are they and are they what Ghostbusters/TV shows makes us believe they are?

What are paranormal experiences? Well according to dictionary.com, these experiences are essentially strange things that occur with no scientific explanation to back them up. However, some may argue that there is logic and science behind individuals feeling like they are experiencing paranormal activity.

Individuals perceive moments differently; every person has his or her own way of seeing a situation. But, who is right? Some may believe that science dictates life while others may be true believers.

Ever since the mankind has expanded its senses of curiosity, the unnatural and mythical stories began to rise. These stories contained supernatural or celestial creatures. Since the stories were told many times, every time something new or entertaining would be added to draw people’s attention. In these vast numbers of stories were some of Shakespeare's best literature such as “Hamlet” and “Macbeth”. The reason artists such as Shakespeare liked writing about supernatural creatures is because it showed creativity and curiosity in audience’s mind.
