[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9718288, member: 4534"] I used to work in a building that was 170 years old (at the time) and I had a lot of visitors who thought it was haunted. We used to let ghost hunting groups spend most of the night in the building and I'd babysit on occasion. I thought it was all a bit silly, but they treated the building with respect and it was a very minor source of revenue so that was nice. The first time I babysat for them I went along with them from room-to-room looking for spirits but we never found any. Visitors would sometimes ask me if the place was haunted or if I'd seen anything "odd." I'd usually tell them they're asking the wrong guy because I didn't believe in ghost. When I was feeling cheeky I'd reply, "No. I don't believe in ghosts, goblins, spooks or fairies." Sometimes when schoolkids would ask if the place was haunted I'd just give them an emphatic no. One of my coworkers bugged the hell out of me when she'd say yes. It remains one of the few occasions I'd contradict her in front of tour groups. (You also didn't need six men to fire a Lewis gun.)
