Ghosts that don't respect your privacy are the worst kind

Hairston wasn't the only one seeing things. Spc. Rosales Leanor had her own close encounter.

"I was using the restroom and I just saw a little shadow," Leanor said. "Kind of looming in front of me."

Well, if you can count the two casino boats, U.S.S. Kidd and a half dozen or so river barges lined up below the levee, I guess they have a marina. :lol:

In the video, I thought the reporter they showed in the restroom sounded so fake. I think they should of just interviewed one of the soldiers about the restroom.

"But the men in uniform have the feeling that they're not alone. It prompted a chaplain to utter this directive: "In the name of Jesus Chris, I command you Satan to leave the dark areas of this building."

Hahaha. Nice typo, and what timing.

True. I blame it on all the upheaval in the World; wars, violence, perversion and the rapid pace of technological advancement. Everything is in a constant state of flux, and many people are bewildered, and thus are desperately searching for something bigger than themselves to hold on to, some stability in an unstable world if you would, even if it is the trivial and the foolish. :roll:

Hell look at all the religions of the Ancient age, most of them were VERY foolish, but they gave people something to hold on to none the less. Llike a rock in the stream they were always there when needed, we do not have that certainty to help explain our place in the world today, even if it was rather short sighted.

Wow that really says Jesus Chris. That strangely links this ghost story to our current situation with the death of Chris. That's spooky. Chris is everywhere you look. We can't get away! :eek:
