The Supernatural / the Ghosties!

Like 10 seconds later it let go after thinking some godly thoughts. Then I felt it run out of the room. Then I conviently remembered something my mom said, "the devil is afraid of the lord".

Actually, this is a common story. I'm sure a moderate amount of other individuals went through that.

I've had something similar happen to me twice, but in both instances it occured after I fell asleep. I was suddenly wide awake, and I felt like something was crushing me. I could move, but it still felt rather strange. It felt like there was something in the room, although I didn't see anything.

I dismissed it as a case of nighttime fancies.


Anyways, to get back to the original topic at hand, I believe in spirits, but not ghosts. I'm not even sure if there's a difference, but I think of ghosts as in a ghost of a dead person, or a spectre. Spirits, on the other hand, remind me more of something less tangible and more amorphous. I'm not saying that ghosts are tangible either, since you can't physically touch them or anything. (I'm not really sure how to say this. :doh: )
Wow, that was a whole bunch of gibberish.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, on second thought, I guess you can touch them, but not really in the traditional sense of touching. Maybe it's like touching air. Technically, you are touching the air around you, but you might not think of it as the same way you can touch water or a solid. As for ghosts touching people, I guess it could be in the same way that people can sort of touch ghosts, that is, if they can touch us but pass right through while doing so.

Did that program say anything about that, or perhaps ghosts strangling people?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
