    Weve all heard about houses being haunted by an individual who sufferd a brutal death, commited suicide, small girl drowned in a lake etc etc, but what about WWII or some Eastern Front engagements. Its got me wondering if there are any areas that are haunted or just are not "right"

    I once came upon a discussion that you can hear Hoths doomed forces at night.

    Is Stalingrad, Auschwitz or Berlin haunted :confused:

    Auschwitz is haunted,

    I heard a INN is haunted by a number of SS troops and generals.

    Ghosts appear to be afraid of me. They never make an appearance when I'm around. I've been several "most haunted" spots around the world and the only time anything untoward happened was when it was rigged by people concerned with upping the reputation of the place.

    For those that believe in ghosts, I guess you can say most battlefields are haunted by those who died their.

    List of reportedly haunted locations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Wiki list is of course pretty incomplete, I remember seeing a documentary where in certain parts of Britain people claim to see the ghost of either a RAF or Luftwaffe plane that was shot down over the Battle of Britain, the catch? Those who went towards the wreckage were visited by ghosts! :O

    Dark Peak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Here in Alberta people claim to see ghosts at some of the prison camps they had here for Afrika Korp prisoners of war.

    I have to agree with the company line on this: "There are no such things as ghosts".

    That being said; the creepiest place I have ever been is Dachau. IF ever a place should be haunted it is there.

    And frankly, if Kris Williams says there are ghosts, who am I to disagree:

    Pre-disposing people to "seeing" ghosts by telling ghost stories is such an obvious tactic that I won't go into it any further.

    As for "orbs", hit something with a flash bulb's glare and see if you don't get an "orb", even if it's a dust mote. Orbs are routinely found in pictures of "non-haunted" locations, but aren't "seen" in those pictures because people aren't looking for them.

    Thanks to a long white beard and a carefully crafted set of "Jeremiah Johnson" togs I was selected to tell "tales of the wolf" at a local sanctuary. I tell the campers on sleep-overs of the missions the Great Mother has sent Brother Wolf on and how The Trickster (a coyote, of course) tried to foil those missions. The kids love 'em.

    My outfit is based on the old guy that taught JJ to hunt bears.

    "You skin that one and I'll go get another!" :D

    he played grandpa walton wasn't that him?..

    a similar scene in the film to this bear joke opana..

    Two bear hunters

    Two men went bear hunting. While one stayed in the cabin, the other went out looking for a bear. He soon found a huge bear, shot at it but only wounded it. The enraged bear charged toward him, he dropped his rifle and started running for the cabin as fast as he could.
    He ran pretty fast but the bear was just a little faster and gained on him with every step. Just as he reached the open cabin door, he tripped and fell flat. Too close behind to stop, the bear tripped over him and went rolling into the cabin.
    The man jumped up, closed the cabin door and yelled to his friend inside, "You skin this one while I go and get another one!"

    Yeah, that's the guy.

    While we're on bear jokes:

    Two guys walking in a mountains spot a Griz coming at them full speed. One guys starts to run, but the other stops to put on his running shoes.

    "Idiot! You can't outrun that bear!"

    "I don't have to, I just have to outrun you."

    while i'm not going to sit here & preach that ghosts do exist, i think you should believe what you want to, a few years ago now i saw something while working as a hospital porter that to this day i can't explain, aparently other nurses had seen it aswell in the past, no i was'nt drunk, nor had i been smoking anything i should'nt have, but i can tell you now i did'nt hang around long for a better look :eek:
