OMG people, there's some great answers here, I'm having a hard time deciding which to pick as best. But whichever I pick, I'll be sure to put in some honorable mentions cause there's some funny, some creative, some insightful answers y'all got there!

oh and believing or not believing has no bearing on the outcome.

Answer 1

yes for one reason only i own a plasma gun so im good

Answer 2

YES, as long as I had a portable TV/DVD Player and enough power and DVDs to make the night interesting.

I don't believe in ghosts, and even if they did exist it seems the most dangerous things they can do, outside of the movies, is to rattle a few things and make some noises. Watch an episode of Ghost Hunters on the SCIFI channel to see what I mean, and then realize that they are feeding your belief, and fear, in ghosts.

I have flown in an airplane many times, and I don't fear flying, although I do have acrophobia (go figure). Once, on a plane, I started thinking about all the bad things that could happen, I became a worry wort. When the plane finally landed I actually felt relief. I realized that I had talked myself into having a fear. The next time I flew I didn't think about it and everything was fine.

People can be their own worst enemies and by worrying about a subject, any subject, they can develop a fear for it. Horror movies scare some people and not others. I can’t help looking at the way things work, it is a part of my nature. So when I watch a horror movie I can’t believe it because of the impossible things that happen. These things have to happen to give the horror its power. My acrophobia comes from a fear of falling and getting hurt. I can still climb to the top of a skyscraper though and be comfortable. Once I painted a house, I had to climb a 20’ ladder to paint the sides of the gable. I was very frightened, and made sure the ladder was securely set. When I climbed up it and began painting I was careful to not reach too far (over a foot) away from the ladder. I still painted the house though, and I didn’t fall down or even slip once.

A fear has as much power as you are willing to give it. The saying, “A brave man dies one death, while a coward dies a thousand deaths.” Is true, the coward fears death and worries about it. The more he worries the more his fears rise. The brave man doesn’t worry about death. He may die in battle, but he will do what he can to avoid it, and that is all he thinks about it. That’s why many brave men claim to not be heroes. What they did wasn’t extraordinary, they didn’t feel the blood rushing through them, and they didn’t feel the strength of 20 men in their bones. The felt normal, and they felt like they had a job to do and they did it. Often they didn’t even think about the danger they were in or the heroic actions they performed. This is true of many Medal of Honor winners and other true heroes. If they really sat down and thought about what they were doing, if they took the time to be afraid, then they might not have been able to do what they did.

An old house is bound to creak and moan. If it is in an isolated area then the sounds will be easier to hear. If I sat there, in your haunted house, worrying about it then I might get afraid and if I let that fear grow until it could get bad. Looking for a way to explain that fear I might be tempted to believe in ghosts. On the other had if I watched my TV and ignored the creaks and moans then I wouldn’t have a problem spending the night.

“Fear is the little mind killer.” We all have some of it, but only if we give it power will it be able to grow and affect us.

How can a person tell another that they have not seen something they have. The problem is the people that really don't see things and say they do!
This world is full of ways to get attention and this is a big one.
With out pschological problems, drugs or any other crazy things like this.

Not the cat was not a ghost, but the spirit that wanted to manafest himself, DID. well of coarse I did stay to chat! ran!

I believe that ghosts are a manifestation of spirits. I do believe in spirits. As for spending the night in a house haunted with them - only if I had to. One never knows if these are going to be good or bad.

Answer 6

Yes, I believe in ghosts.
I would not spend the night alone in a remote house, haunted or otherwise, unless there was money involved, or unless the only alternative was be to spend the night alone outside.

Answer 7

Yes. Haunted Houses are Like Retirement Homes, and the ghosts are like senior citizens. Their Desperate for attention so they try to attract your attention. Giving the house the reputation of being "haunted" when all they want is attention. Talk to them like they are there. Treat them like any other Human, just remember they dont have bodies.
