I recently had mine mocked as though I was some old mental patient. I even broke out the classics and the flashlight face. Still no dice. Disclaimer: I was hammered.

Anyone have any good ones?

what was yours?

I dont know what this was but this was back in the early/mid 90s.

I was coming back from a party I think in Park Ridge or somewhere like that. It was 2am and I was passing a cemetary on Touhy Ave if I remember correctly.

Anyway, it's like 2/3am nobody is out there nor should be out there. I am at a red light and I see some woman in the cemetary walking around like she was looking for something. She's dressed in business attire like she just got off from a lawyers office.

Thought nothing of it but told my mother some weeks later when I went to visit her place. She's like OMG YOU SAW A GHOST!

I was like wtf, maybe I did, even though I really don't believe in that kind of stuff.

Not really sure what it was. I wasn't drunk at the time either.

I was up in the attic of my great grandfather. It was weird as I heard a big noise.

Then Kris Bryant arose out of the permafrost and was like him?

Didn't see a ghost but had to get pretty fucked up in order to sleep at the Menger Hotel as a younger man.

I slept in the upstairs bedroom of a friend's funeral home a few times.

This cemetery is legitimately haunted I have been there. Haven't seen any ghosts, but you feel this creepy cool breeze (hey, jerome heeey) as soon as you walk in.

I know someone that snapped a pic..I can't find it now, I trust it's not Photoshoped but you see the imagine of a spirit, like a little girl in the photo. It's nuts.

I interrupted a local Girl Scout troop on their camping getaway and told them stories. Nothing unusual.

I wish I could find the clip of that stand-up comedian doing a send-up of those Time-Life paranormal books. Something about how he burned his hand and two thousand miles away at the same time, his sister was giving someone a hand job.

I've taken a lot of pictures at Bachelor's Grove, but no ghosts. Still a spooky place at night.

I thought Chris Hardwick said it best when he points out that all ghosts are at least 100 years old. You never hear of a ghost spotted wearing acid washed jeans and a chain wallet.

I only listened to one episode. Stopped because I don't believe any of it and it's whatever.

Some of those pictures posted in this thread might be fake. But not all of them. In that one link there were pictures from the 1950s and earlier. Before people knew how to photo shop.

Not everybody that says they have seen a ghost is lying. Not all of those pictures are fake.

So I think there are ghosts. Just based on percentages and logic. There is no way 100% of photos or testimonials are fake or lies.

There are billions of dead people. If ghosts existed why would they be so secretive about their existence? Why not just show up and say " how ya doin?" Then they would just coexist with the living.

If the dead can reveal themselves they would be everywhere and in most photos.

I don't think everybody becomes a ghost when they die. So that eliminates the billions. But there is some reason that some stick around as ghosts. Maybe they can't talk. I don't know. How do you explain all of those pictures? Or stories by people? All lies in your opinion? What benefit is it for them to lie? It's not like they're making money for their stories. I don't think everybody with a ghost story is insane either. Some of them might be. But not all of them.

You know who could have been a great ghost? Drinky. But he blew it. Because he's dumb.

On the third day he rose from the dead in fulfillment of the scripture and is seated at the right hand of father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
