A few years back, I went to visit a friend's house in Ohio. She and her sister lived in one of the older houses with what is probably the standard story for older houses: haunted by a former owner. During my stay, I went into the basement searching for a missing cat. As I crossed through one certain area, I felt like someone was watching me. And not just watching from a distance, I mean watching like they're standing right behind you. I figured the cat could find its own way out and I left. I found out later that the spot I had walked through was where the original owner had hung himself back in the 30's. And if that wasn't bad enough, there was a whistling myself and my friend heard while we were sitting in her living room. We were alone in the house and the spot it came from on the stairs was empty.
So yeah, I'd say its a safe bet I beleive in them. That probably accounts for some of the stories I write as well.
