I don't see how ghosts and other paranormal activity discussions belongs in the main forum and as such, should be reported as a junk thread or off topic discussion.

Burke is full of ghosts because Burke is the black hole of Fairfax County. That is why it is also full of spirits. I beleive this is on topic.

chuck, I've not read much on the history of Burke in particular, but Fairfax and Northern Virginia in general are good candidates for so called spirits or imprints due to all of the violent deaths during the civil war here alone.

Have you had opportunity to encounter either type of anamoly in Burke to draw your conclusion as to these being imprints or spirits?

I can't comment on Burke as I don't live there, but I live nearby. The other night I was on the first floor of my house, and heard a HUGE thud come from the second floor right above me. I mean it was so loud and heavy that I thought a large bookcase had fallen over. My husband and I ran upstairs and couldn't find a single thing that had fallen, shifted, moved, anything. It was unsettling, because I'm a very rational person guided by fact, and after 30 minutes, I could not find any explanation for what felt like a house-shaking noise.

And then on Tuesday night, I was at home alone sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket, and it felt like someone pulled on one end. I've lived in this house for about two years and always felt like the bed was shaking a bit when I'm trying to fall asleep. I kept asking my husband if he was walking around the second floor, or playing music or the PS3 loud enough that it would reverberate through the walls, but he always said no.

I have no idea if they are just average house phenomena that are magnified in my mind, or if there is something truly going on. Look, I just don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and see that ghost boy from Ju-On sitting in my corner meowing.

I've never actually "seen" a ghost or apparition, but I have seen, heard and felt other strange things that had me questioning my sanity and what I thought I believed.

Hell even physicists are questioning their sanity and beliefs with the advancement in quantum mechanics, particle theory and other ever developing stuff like string theory. These ghosts could actually be some advanced people that are just like us, but in a different dimension.

If I had the ability and technology to go into another dimension or another time, I would love to show up rattling chains and banging doors just to fuck with people.

Awesome! I'd be decked out like Pinhead from Hellraisor, but I would be carrying a giant dildo, waking people up by slapping it on their forehead as they sleep.

No such thing as ghost. Grow up Chucky.

yes they are ghosts slaves from the civil wars I saw a group of them crossing Roberts Rd one night this summer looked just like a pack of niggers crossing the road in old time clothes then I turned and they vanished just simply vanished

It is impossible to prove something does not exist. It makes much more sense to assume that something does not exist until proven otherwise.

I have never seen a ghost. The people that I know who have seen them do a lot of drugs. The ones that don't see them don't do drugs. Not that I can prove a connection.

Your example is likewise flawed because any supposed evidence relating to the existence of ghosts is far less overt than evidence of an approaching train. NOBODY can produce convincing evidence of the existence of ghosts. You yourself have no first hand evidence. We can safely assume that ghosts and spirits do not exist.

Based on that logic, you must not believe in Bigfoot or U.F.O.s

Or Bigfoots flying U.F.O.s
(hint: thats why you cant get a good picture of a Bigfoot)

Can I assume you're talking about God as well?
