Because that's SO much more rational...

There is no doubt in my mind that there are ghosts in those areas. I've always believed in ghosts and have lived with at least one most of my life. If you're used to it, its really not that bad. Sometimes they get upset and make noises and/or move stuff but if you talk to them they generally stop. The one at my Grandmother's house (where I live now) is another story. Its been getting increasingly agitated over the last few months and I believe has even tried to communicate with me (All I heard was a short loud buzz next to my head after some banging around my room). I don't sleep there much anymore and have been spending most nights at my parent's (with the relatively benign ghost) or my girlfriend's. If I'm drunk enough I can usually sleep through it, though. I have more stories but I've babbled long enough.

Ah, the joys of living near the Brandywine Battlefield and right down the street from a Revolutionary War skirmish...

There's no tsunami ghosts. People only become ghosts when they die with unfinished business.

So out of the 150,000 people who died in the disaster every single one of them had finished their "business"? :)

Yeah, I live pretty near the Brandywine Battlefield too. Do you ever dare set foot on Cossart Road at night? The folklore about that area is crazy.

I don't reckon I believe in the supernatural. Although, I won't crap on anyones stories, because even several of my teachers have told stories about ghosts, and I would need some evidence other then my instinct to disprove the existance of ghosts.

Still, freaky stuff. And who wouldn't be freaked out? We are talking about thousands of bodies floating around in the water..........I mean, just the dead people would scare the sh*t out of me, let alone the supposed ghosts.

Damn, good grammatical call.

It's amazing how one odd-ball sentence can ruin a site's whole credibility. Oh well.

A friend of mine read something about this in the newspaper today so I'm guessing it aint bull, but it does seem kind of out there.

No, but I recently saw a colonial soldier walking down my road right outside my driveway. That was a first for me ever seeing an "ethereal" (sp?) ghost, meaning I could see through him. The only other ghost I've ever physically seen is the one at my parent's place. She is very real in appearance. I actually have three friends of mine who have sworn never to set foot in that house again because of her. She was frisky one night before a golf outing. Footsteps going up and down the stairs all night, the mattress dipping up and down (like someone was getting in and out of bed, not some crazy exorcist stuff), and her sillouette in the doorway was enough to convince them. :D

As for proof, I was very skeptical of a lot of what my peripheral vison saw and my ears heard and what I might or might not have "misplaced", but there is one thing for me that sealed the deal on ghosts for me:

My parents have a finished attic. When you close and latch the doors to the rooms, the next morning they are all open. Every time. I've tried this while watching the house by myself.
