[are you afraid of the dark?]

 

Hello,

I am new here, and, like many of you have been searching all of my life for some sort of proof of the afterlife.

To be honest, I haven't found much and despite my collections of ghost stories, my avid watching of supernatural reality television, and my visits to haunted locations, I still find myself in need  of proof that SOMETHING exists after this.  I'm assuming I'm not alone.

I call this being a Ghost Skeptic....someone who is quite obsessed with the supernatural and life after death, but someone who still doesn't quite believe it exists. 

So I'm writing a book...an article...I'm trying to gather a collection of TRUE stories from people who have had experiences.  I'm not the first one, nor will I be the last, but this is something I am very dedicated to.

Please, if you have a story, let me know in your reply.  If you'd rather tell me over private e-mails, I'd be happy to do that as well, just give me your e-mail address as I will be making ALL replies screened and will not post any you would rather not have me post.  Having as many details in your stories is very important...the names of places and buildings, dates, years, etc.  Names can be changed if you wish.  

I will not use past posted stories, as I will require your permission to use said story if I actually do finish this.  Even if I don't, I will send all of you what I have compiled.

Either way, this is just the beginning of this adventure (well the prologue is written) and I hope to find real people on Live Journal to participate. 

Thank you for your time, and here's to not being a skeptic any longer!

If this is not allowed, I apologize. 

Keep Your Dogs Teeth Healthy
 by: Marilyn Pokorney
Dogs get plaque and tartar on their teeth just like humansdo. Cleaning your dogs teeth between professional cleaningsis very simple.
Keeping your dogs teeth and gums clean will eliminate "doggybreath" as well as keep your dog healthy.
Most veterinarians suggest twice a week brushings. Whenbrushing teeth, use baking soda or a special toothpasteformulated for dogs, not toothpaste for humans. Pettoothpastes contain enzymes that help dissolve plaque andcan be swallowed. They also taste good.
Use a toothbrush designed for pets or small children. Orjust use gauze or a washcloth if the pet doesn't like thebrush.
Tooth brushing is best but if the dog won't let you brushit's teeth then giving it something to chew that rubs on thesides of the teeth is useful.
Although dogs do not usually get cavities in their teeth,tooth problems result from soft foods that can leave debrisin gum pockets at the base of the teeth, known asgingivitis. Infections form which soften and cause the gumsto recede. Bad breath is a symptom.
Tartar buildup can be removed from teeth by rubbing with asolution of three percent hydrogen peroxide. Advancedbuildup requires scraping with dental instruments. Someveterinarians use ultrasonics now as well, so the treatmentis more pleasant.
For between dental visits, provide soft chew toys made ofrubber or nylon and something made of fiber like a chew ropewhich helps to wipe the teeth clean.

Lool here! What To Expect From A Havanese

If I may I'd like to introduce to everyone a new community I've started called 'ghostevidence'.

This community is for people to present what they believe to be evidence of the paranormal. This evidence can be in the form of a video, a photograph, an EVP or even just a story so that other members can rationally and intelligently scrutinise and debate about what is being shown.

Also, if you find an interesting photo, video, evp etc. piece of evidence on the internet you'd like to group to see then post it here for us all to have a look at and discuss.

Ed Warren, an icon in the field of paranormal research and investigations, passed away today, August 23, after a lengthy illness.

I spoke with John Zaffis, who is Ed's nephew, earlier this evening to offer my condolences to him and his family.

John had the following to say: "Ed was a great man and he truly was instrumental in bringing the paranormal to the public's attention."

Funeral services for Ed Warren will be held later this week. He is survived by his wife, Lorraine, who was his constant companion and co-worker in the paranormal arena.

HELLO!
please help

I am currently doing a photography project for my university which has to be based around newspaper articles.. SO i was hoping that some of you would have some newspaper articles on ghosts/hauntings, that you could scan.. or maybe you know some links to some already on the internet?


thankyou.

If you say bloody mary in the mirrior of a bathroom with the door shut and locked some thing bad will happen. When my friend told me she did just that the outcome was not what she expected, she blacked out and woke up in the middle of her BEDROOM floor crying her eyes out not remembering what had happen in the bathroom. Does anyone think my friend was lying to me? When she told me the story, she was making it seem convincing that it was real.

does anyone know of any ways to communicate with ghosts that you can do by yourself? none of my friends really like playing with a ouija board.
furthermore, if i was in a house with 3 floors, would it offend the ghost(s) living here if i cleansed my room (in the basement) to make them stay out of it, do you think? only the noises freak me out, always have, and i want them to stop so i can finally stop having to leave my radio on all night in order to sleep comfortably. its mostly banging on pipes and knocking on the roof (its not water. just take my word on that.) and then theres the occasional feeling of someone watching me intently, and that can make me uncomfortable. and my room is ALWAYS colder than the rest of the basement, even if i leave the door open all day. and its definetally not just me, because my friend from toronto who came to stay with me this weekend noticed it too. i hadnt told her about anything spiritual in regards to my house, and she was all content and cosy on the oppisite couch in the living room, in the basement,and then around 1:30 she came crawling under my covers absolutely terrified, because my basement ceiling was making "scary noises" and she felt like someone was watching her. i was sleeping soundly, and the house was relatively quiet. after that it refrained from making noises very many noises, save for once..it was like it was trying to be quiet.. maybe its not a ghost doing it, although i know of one thats in my house. does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be??

more importantly, does anyone know any really effective ways to cleanse a space?

So, I recently had some pretty weird photos posted on here from my cemetery "photo shoot". I (along with others) have pretty much ruled out smoke, breath, fog, leaves, etc. for this photo.

Behind the cut are faces/figures that I, as well as others, have seen in this mist. I am not a professional, and am probably way off on these..but this is what I see. Please comment and tell me if you see anything else!
