Take a look at this site. I think you will find these stories quite
interesting. You will find dozens of "reports" about the various
experiences people are said to have while in "haunted houses. Let me

Howdy Shoaib,

There is no such thing as a real "haunted" house, as ghosts, etc. do not
exist.  As this is the case, the type of experience that people have in
a house that is described as being "haunted" for the most part depends on
the mindset of the individual person.

I can provide for you a range of experiences that people have purported
to have gone through in a "haunted" house, but keep in mind that would
not necessarily be what another individual would experience.

An individual's experience in such a situation depends on what is called
the "power suggestion" and the suggestibility of that person.

With the above said, did you want me to provide a range of experiences
that some people have described?

Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher

Since this is the Arts and Entertainment section, my advice is to go
see "Monster House" immediately.

The belief in haunted houses is based on the belief that the 'ghost'
is the remnant of a person who has died. What many religions call the
'soul' of that person. But when the Bible is studied very thoroughly,
and church tradition is ignored, it becomes clear that nothing of a
person survives death. From that moment, everything that that person
was is rendered to a memory. In time, God remembers that person and
will resurrect him/her.
Here is the Biblical proof; Ecclesiastes 9;5 For the living are
conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious
of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the
remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their
hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no
portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done
under the sun.
So any paranormal activity is not caused by a person. However, this
activity IS recorded. So who or what may cause it? It can only be the
product of demon activity. And the Bible confirms the existence of
demons. There is the recorded story of demon possession at Matthew
8;28-34 and Luke 8; 26-39. Demons were active in Jesus' day and they
are more so in ours. Revelation 12;(Revelation 12:7-9) And war broke
out in heaven: Mi´cha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and
the dragon and its angels battled 8 but it did not prevail, neither
was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great
dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and
Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled
down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him.



(Revelation 12:12) On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who
reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil
has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short
period of time.?

The experiences a person will have during guided tours of so-called
"haunted houses" are often merely trickery. A member of a local
psychic investigators team told me that his group sometimes
"encourages the spirits." When I asked what he meant by this, he
confessed that it is not uncommon for tour groups to be exposed to
phony, manufactured events such as eerie sounds played on a tape
recorder, odd lights generated by hidden laser pointers, and even a
scary, foggy "cool spot" whose cause was a fan blowing over a bowl of
dry ice. Apparently the "spirits" are reluctant to appear unless
there's a magic show going on and a bunch of suckers being taken in by
it.

pinkfreid commenter in response to your above comment that expert
people perform tricks in the haunted houses so as to fool the people
please note that people are "not" so foolish or straight forward that
they would believe the above mentioned trick as real so therefore I
want to mention that ghosts or spirits do exist and everything people
see in the haunted houses is real and if possible for you then please
provide response or answer of my above comment and best regards from
Shoaib or that help.

Shoaib,

I have no desire to carry on an extended discussion with you on this
subject, nor on any subject. That is one of many reasons why I have
never answered any of your questions. You may believe as you wish, but
it is a long established fact that trickery and deception are common
practices among those who make claims of a paranormal nature. As I
mentioned above, I spoke with a self-styled "psychic investigator" who
admitted to having engaged in deceptive practices. I doubt that he is
the only person in this dubious occupation who uses techniques of
stage magic in an attempt to extort money from the gullible.

shoaib,

   Many people *are* gullible enough to be suckered by charlatans.
Have you never heard of "thieves"?

   This is independent of the question of the objective reality of
spirits such as you propose. Let's say hypothetically that you may,
perhaps, be able to point to a genuine haunted house, harboring real
ghosts. Even given that, surely not all houses would be haunted (mine
certainly isn't), and fakers, in the market to fleece a few suckers,
wouldn't need to find any real demon-riddled buildings. They could
arrange for any likely looking dilapidated structure to serve their
purposes. In fact, a non-haunted house might be much better suited to
a faker, since they'd be able to arrange whatever cheap special
effects for which they know the gullible are in the mood, without
interference from those nasty old ghosts.

   You see, the gullible aren't interested in knowing the truth about
anything. They just want to believe.

qed100 commenter please note ttat I have accepted the information
mentioned above that there are "some" experts which perform artificial
tricks to attract the customers in the haunted houses but I also want
to mntion that if those experts perform fake or artificial tricks
inside the haunted houses so as to attract the customers in the
haunted house but please note that according to my opinion  those
artificial or fake tricks of those eperts is also INDIRECTLY  the
reflection of what actually goes on inside the 'real haunted house' if
an actual 'Ghosts or actual Vampires or any other real object'   comes
inside the haunted house so therefore according to my opinion there is
nothing wrong if those experts perform artificial or fake tricks
inside the haunted house so as to attract the customers in the haunted
house. qed100 commenter if possible for you then please provide
response of my above clarification  and thanks and best regards from
Shoaib for that.

I suggest you watch the movies Ghost Busters and Caspir the Friendly
Ghost for haunting ideas. Obviously some envolved dangerous stunts, by
professional stunt men and are not appropriate to embellish a haunted
house where you might be charged with wrongful injury or worse.   Neil
