Several years ago, I was the Florida Area Rep for the American Ghost Society. It put me in position to get all kinds of weird ocurrance calls, and occassionally trips out to various places to check out reocurring hauntings. I don't push my beleifs on anyone, and I know that nothing I say here is gonna persuade anyone of anything, but I will suggest that I was able to disprove or naturally explain away quite a lot of what I was brought in on, and yet, every once in awhile I ran into stuff that I couldn't explain. By itself it doesn't mean I encountered deceased spirits, but I certainly encountered something.I left the society when the head of the society started pushing some weird beleifs regarding time portals and indians that proved to be a little too much for me to be able to accept, and I was asked to "tow-the-line" for his latest book deal, but I didn't agree with his findings at all. I learned quite a bit though, regarding detection equipment, and "proper" ghosthunting, but also learned how useless the findings tend to be with regards to tying the supernatural to an "event" of some kind.
