I've mostly stopped listening to them - I'm jaded. Growing up I did most of my reading from the low end of the of the Dewey Decimal System. (Well, it was the low end at the time. I don't know where the Loch Ness Monster, UFOs, and ghosts are in the latest revision of the DDS.) After reading about them, I went looking for them, and never encountered a single one. (Ghosts, I mean. I never expected Nessie to visit me in the mountains of Pennsylvania.) Not even on the Gettysburg battlefields or the Old Jail!
I live in Indiana now and there are stories of ghosts haunting the historical society building and my wife's dorm was supposedly haunted.
Pfffft, I say. Pfffft and double pfffft.
