The Japanese call them YOKAI. They are similar to demons but yet unlike Christianity's demons.

I used to visit a shrine dedicated to the seven tailed fox even at night. Most Japanese are scared of them but when ever I went there I felt totally at peace. The 7 tailed foxes are normally nasty things that jinx you.

I also used to go to cementaries with GFs/SOs during the prayer season and no matter how agitated I was before going I'd always leave rather happy.

Ever consider that an apartment or house could be an entity? I do. One particular apartment seemed to make me feel like a millionaire but while I was living there for some reason I had huge expenses, I moved to a similar prices place and actually saved money.

I had one particular car that was rear ended, front ended, hit on the side and after getting it "blessed" never had an issue again.

While living in the U.S. I've only came across similar experiences I had in Japan near Indian reservations. However, a gallow in at historic site scared the fuck out of me, just creepy and dark feelings.

I should have stayed away! One thing I learned in Japan, don't take "power spots" lightly as in "hey! Cool! Let's go play ghost hunters in haunted houses." Believing or thinking that "ah! No worries I'm Christian" doesn't protect you.

That's a pretty cool perspective. I've never actually heard much of other culture's paranormal stuff outside of maybe Europe.

I would think seeing some gallows would be creepy, as would basements, low angle lighting, and claustrophobic spaces. But I think some people go around declaring whatever makes them feel uncomfortable as haunted. What's weird is when feelings of creepiness emerge in a normal looking, well lit environment and then strange shit starts to happen.

I think Ghost hunting would be interesting. What I'd want to do is, in a place that gets responses to EMF readings, instead of just leaving it as Yes/No, rig up 26 of them each corresponding to a letter. If it's a real thing that's intelligent, it should be able to type at you. Alternatively, cut the alphabet in half A-M, N-Z, and as it selects each one, do it like how stephen hawking types through his BCI.

It's interesting to consider a place as an entity. I've always thought about entities in a place, never the place itself.

I've been in a lot of famous places where I used to live in Japan and only 2 scared the shit out of me. Both I didn't even get close to and I walked away. A third was just a no go and didn't even consider driving to.

The gallows where around Oklahoma. It was around noon and a great day and the rest of the historic site was cool. Some mean shit was there.

The houses as entities is why I called it shamanistic spiritual stuff. Entity is actually a good word since I don't think they are living but rather aware. It's hard to describe in words.

Interacting would be ... I don't know ... Cool yet scary.

Once again, I'm not psychic or anything but rather file this all away as intuition and unexplainable.

Have you ever had any strange experiences?
