    It'd be cool to have a show that theorizes what Art Bell would have thought of all the crazy sh*t that's happened since he passed.

    I once had a job working as a care giver for a gentleman and was living at the house with him and his wife. One evening the topic of ghosts came up. They told me they both has seen a ghost in their house. This man was a devout Christian was grew up being told ghosts don't exist. He said he never believed in them until he saw one.

    I've been lucid dreaming regularly for decades and more often than not in those dreams I choose -- like a member of a movie audience --- to just observe and see where the "story" is going. But, sometimes, I control events, like when a pianos was falling on my wife and I turned the piano into a butterfly saving my wife's life from a painful finale with discordant crescendo.

    When I was 51 years old, my dad died. When that happened, I became precognitive. I'm still precognitive. I can't even begin to tell you the experiences I've had in the last 19 years. I have dreams, or I just receive messages that pops into my head. I can also make predictions. Nothing earth shattering. I just seem to be able to predict things before they happen. During the years from the time my dad passed and my mom passed, dad would come to me often in dreams to let me know what my mom was about to experience, and he would advise me when it was going to happen, how serious it was going to be, and whether or not I should take action. He gave me specific details. (Pretty weird.) Before my mom actually died, she came to me in a dream to thank me for my care, and to tell me she loves me. She also told me when she was going to pass, and that she was actually looking forward to it. (She had dementia. When I had the dream, she was only a shell and was completely uncommunicative.) Well, she passed almost to the day she said she was going to pass. The night she died, it was wild. I can't go into everything I experienced, but it was crazy. Not many dreams anymore telling me the future, but I have become very sensitive and intuitive. It's pretty interesting.

    My friend shared this theory on ghosts a while back, and I don't know if she was paraphrasing someone else but here goes: Ghosts are not conscious entities. The extreme electrical brain activity of someone experiencing fear/death/love etc has left an electric signature in the atmosphere, and the ghosts are more like reruns. So the former being isn't there doing the haunting, its just a shadow of their most extreme brain activity replaying in the spot where the activity happened. Hope I'm making sense (even if its not real). If you think about it, ghost stories revolve around the same ghost, in the same basic place, performing the same basic movements- Like Paul G's story about smelling the coffee at the writer's house, or Paul Revere's ghost galloping on his horse.

    I don't generally believe in ghosts, however I have experienced some unsettling phenomena. One time I was recalling the memory of a good friend who had died 4 years earlier. As his memory popped into my head, a light came on, outside of my house that was over my porch entrance. A light that wasn't on. It flashed on,...then a couple seconds later it shut off. With each new remembrance,...the light would turn on, for a few seconds. It wasn't a light I ever turned on. In fact I thought it was a non-working fixture. I was so startled and spooked by it. As I was remembering my friend, I was speaking my thoughts quietly out loud, to myself. I continued, and it occurred 2 more times. I was so frightened, I ran to well lit room and buried my face into my hands. At some point, a bit later, I fell asleep where I was sitting.

    Is it possible that there aren't any ghost at all, only demons? Do you get a warm, fuzzy feeling? When your relative appears in front of you or do you get upset? I believe that They talking about the Lawrence hotel. In Dallas on Houston street. Or either the Adolphus hotel. On commerce street

    Billy Bob Thornton in the past has worn an outfit that was given to him. By Paul Revere and the R AID ERS. Why didn't Billy Bob mentioned buying a house from SLASH The guitarist Of guns and roses and it being haunted also. Is it possible to be a liar?
