Today, my new neighbor informed me with great relish that the house I have just bought is haunted because 30 years ago a man shot himself in the kitchen. I'm now paying a huge mortgage on a house I'm frightened to be alone in. FML

You should always inquire about these things prior to purchasing a home.

have you not considered that your neighbor was lieing because he doesn't like you?...

probably didn't even read them

I'd be willing to bet that your neighbor just doesn't like you and wants you to move out, return the favor.

Umm... you DO know that ghosts aren't real, don't you?

First off, she might be lying.Second, if you didn't notice anything when you toured the house (I'm assuming you did this before purchasing it), you probably wont notice anything now. And third, if you do start to feel "ooky" you can always burn some sage, or come have your chosen religious individual bless your house for you. Problem solved.

It's always funny how ghosts just happen to respond to whatever religion is practiced by the person dealing with them, isn't it? I guess all ghosts are Unitarians.

Honestly, I just think that most religions all center around the same thing. Muslims, Jews, and Christians are all "people of the book", so they basically believe the same thing except that Jesus is solely Christian, Mohammad solely Muslim, and the Jews believe that their messiah is yet to come. But even religions like Buddhism... Or Greek mythology... I like to look at them as different ways to describe the same deity. Only that some religions divide the one God into several gods... So yeah, ghosts would respond to all religions. But idk, that's just me.

So basically, the "have no gods before me" dirty of the Old Testament is completely compatible with the multitudes of gods in, say, ancient Greek mythology? It really amazes me how religious people can come up with excuses for just about anything. Prayer goes unanswered? It was answered, but the answer was "no". Prophecy doesn't come true? Well, obviously it was interpreted wrong. It's like an abused woman rationalizing her partner's behavior ("I made him mad" or "he's had a hard day" or "he's not really a bad person"), rather than admit he's an abusive bastard.

some guy with diabetes died in the front yard of my lake house, & it's not haunted. just accept that your neighbor is messing with you, unless you see some paranormal activity......
