Q: Do you believe in gremlins? Poltergeists? etc..??
Do they have them in China?
I know a few of yoiu completely scoff at the idea of TCM, so what about other 'super-natrual' entities... which would include ghosts (and souls, and god, and angels, etc etc).
Why do I ask?
Well, that's what the forum is for (other than spamming and trolling).
Also, cos my passpoort decided to disappar. Like most people, I searched 'everywhere' for it.
Only for it to finally show up - in the very first place I looked for it (small pocket on the side of my travel bag - right where it should have been!) - and looked for it 3 times there!!!!! Time #3, there it is!
I'm used to my stuff doing that - USBs, keys, wallets, etc... I'm so sure of the poltergeistic activity, that when something I have decides to go missing like that, I know it's a game, and it will come back in the not too distant future. (even socks!!)
I believe socks have a mind of their own, and its like they are in "escape mode" once they hit the washer. They seem to vanish into thin air. So, to answer your question...yes, i firmly believe in supernatural disappearing socks.
This is what comes to those who dare say anything bad about COFFEE!!!!
You have been warned!
At least China don't have Min Min lights or Kadicha men
And most importantly no drop bears
Although some Chinese women can make your stuff disappear and can be scary too

Maybe I should start a thread about that... "What would happen if a drop-bear got loose in China?"
Do you live with a woman? They are very good at moving things and then forgetting they moved them.
Shining_brow:
Nope - live alone.
Closest thing I've had to a visitor in the last month was the guy dropping off the water bottle.

Nope. Don't believe in them at all.
But... I do believe in good spirits and bad spirits tied to a location.
Difficult to explain. I lived 10 years in a 300 year old house that had a good feel about it. Witches I knew visited me there and said what a good feel the house had. It was not bright and airey, a bit damp really. But you felt safe there.
Another house, I lasted a year in. It did not feel right. And my witch friends felt it as soon as they walked in. Both houses the same age, the same layout.. They just felt different.
And the sex in the good feeling house was fantastic.
So.. erm.. No goblins for me. But I do feel spirits reside in places. A sort of residual memory if you like rather than a supernatural being.
Stiggs:
Yeah I know what you mean.I've lived in a lot of different houses too and some just have a good feel about them, others don't and if asked you can't explain why.
Call it vibes, feng shui, gremlins, the garden gnome, poltergeists, the drugs you're taking, residual memories, ghosts,personal circumstances at the time or whatever, some places just feel better. I don't really have an opinion as to why, but I'm open minded about it. Could be anything.
I do have a good friend though... a few of us had one of those conversations one drunken night where ghosts etc came up and he was in the "it's ridiculous, what a load of bullshit" camp.
But, he bought a house recently and he told me weird stuff keeps happening. He'll be doing something in the kitchen for example and put down the potato peeler or whatever and when he goes to pick it up again it won't be there, he'll eventually find it somewhere weird he didn't go to like the spare bedroom. He's convinced he has a poltergeist in the house.
Gremlins are make believe like Eskimos and Honest Politicians
