The Haunted House

The Haunted House We all think that old houses are haunted with spooky ghosts That will jump out and scare us, but are there really ghosts Or just our vivid fantasies of apparitions and spectres. In books we read about ghosts resembling the headless Horseman in "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" that chased Ichabod Crane onto a bridge, where soon after that he Disappeared. Well, it sounds absurd that that would Ever happen, so why do people think that all old houses Come complete with a ghost? Maybe the noises people hear Are the house just settling for the night, there may not be any Supernatural occurrances at all. The ghosts seem to come with Our imagination and the dark environment and surroundings. There is the illusion that a tragic event may have happened In the house, bringing on a ghostly visage, when an eathbound Spirit may walk the house searching for it's redemption. Spirits might have been sighted by ghost hunting groups, Who bring with them electronic devices to search for sounds and Visions, hoping for sightings. Some have actually seen images Of ghostly movements, but nothing is really conclusive. The house remains as it is - just an old house that has Seen many families in its time, but it can never really be haunted.
