Sorry, but that thread went from dull to duller.
I'm going on a 'Ghost walk' tonight, not becaue I believe in ghosts but because it's around an interesting bit of london and a mate's going and it beats sitting at home sobbing and lonely.

Do you believe in ghosts? Do you know anyone who does?

Not sure I believe in ghosts as such but I believe in weird things being visible that people perceive as ghosts
EDIT:

Also UFO's

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 13 Dec 2011, 15:58, Reply)

Not sure, to be honest
Maybe memories being played out in front of your eyes?

AS for UFO's. There is a lot more flying around than we are aware of, so most things will be of terrestrial origin

Weaving together ghost stories with local history and folklore, this exhilarating walk takes in haunted pubs, a female gladiator, Cross Bones Graveyard and the spookiest stretch of the Thames.

Led by local writer John Constable, author of The Southwark Mysteries and Secret Bankside - Walks In The Outlaw Borough.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Tue 13 Dec 2011, 16:22, Reply)

Actually
Cross Bones Graveyard - or at least the story of it - is quite interesting. The whole area was full of dens of iniquity and was a general haven for thieves and vagabonds, so I can imagine if the guy tells you all about that kind of thing there could be a fun evening in it!

I swear this one is true, on my life this, I'm not saying it was a ghost or whatever, but it's 100% true.
Exactly one year to the hour after my Dad died, I was out in the field in front of our house in cyprus. He started his death there, got stung by a bee which set off the heart attack. Anyway, I was out there on my own. Ma', Uncle Tone (dad's bro), Debs (Dad's nice) and Norma (Family BFF) were in the house, chilling out, doing a bit of cooking, this that and the other. And I hear my uncle shout "Paul, come on in, dinner's ready" and I yelled back "I'll be 2 minutes". I turn around and I see these hummingbirds, about 20 of them. They're very rare and hard to spot, they're darting around the tree. So I spend about 30 minutes photographing them darting in and out of the flowers, got some really good shots. I'd never seen them before. When I was done, I go back into the flat, Tone had been asleep for a good hour or soo. He never shouted out my name.... but then it clicked, Tone has the same voice as my Dad. I heard it enough in order for me to shout back.

I donno what that was, but to me it was quite profound, I heard the voice enough to reply to it, and if it wans't Tone, then maybe possibly it was Dad.
