Questions 3: Ghosts and Hauntings

Posted on October 29, 2025 by Charles Yallowitz

Coming to the end of the ghost month, I think I’ll open the floor to people.  If you don’t believe in ghosts then don’t feel obligated to answer or give a long comment about why they don’t exist.  I’ve walked into that one before and it isn’t fun.  This is all about fun.

  1. What is your favorite ghost story?
  2. Have you ever had a paranormal experience? (Think hard)
  3. If you were a ghost, what would you do?

    1. A Christmas Carol!
    2. Yes, but it was unpleasant. Not something I took lightly.
    3. I wouldn’t hang around here! I’d head to the light as you see happen in movies.

    My favorite ghost story is the Movie Ghost

    I have not had a paranormal experience.

    If I were a ghost I think I would want to terrorize someone who is evil.

      1. I’m sticking with the classics: A Christmas Carol
      2. Not sure what you would call it, but when I lived in Prague, my husband and I set out to find the site of an excavated Roman villa in the downtown area. Without directions, I took him right there.
      3. If I were a ghost, I would want to help people.

      Anything pretty much by MR James
      We had a tv that turned itself on at 3am several nights in the run
      I’d rather not be a ghost. This life will be enough thanks.

      I’ve got nothing, but my excuse is that it’s 4:00 in the morning here. My boys once had a toy truck. It had batteries and drove itself around with flashing lights. It developed a habit of turning itself on in the middle of the night. I removed the batteries and it did it one more time before being discarded completely.

      1. What is your favorite ghost story? I like the one where the little old woman goes out walking, picks up a bone, and then gets followed by the ghost yelling “Give back my bone!” I actually used a version of it in one of my short stories.
      2. Have you ever had a paranormal experience? I have had experiences I can’t explain but I don’t know if I’d call them paranormal.
      3. If you were a ghost, what would you do? I would be a poltergeist that continually trashed the personal living spaces of certain obnoxious public figures.

      1. I’ve read loads of ghost stories but I can’t think of a particular favourite.
      2. Yes, I’ve had paranormal experiences – very scary ones!
      3. If I was a ghost I’d go snooping inside people’s houses. Whenever I walk past a house that looks interesting from the outside, I wish I could see more of it.

      1. The Turn of the Screw by Henry James.
      2. In Wales when as a teenager staying in a youth hostel, I became inexplicably afraid walking one evening. I asked a boy who had been there before if it was haunted and he said yes. My mother also saw a couple of ghosts.
      3. I’d hang around to see what my grandchildren made of their lives.
