you don't need real ghosts to make horror movies

also there are many horror movies without ghosts.... the village, the shining, boogey man. not good ones, but theys exist.

The only reason I keep on living is the hope of dying an agonizing death such that I can come back and haunt the internet without fear of perma bans and flame wars

No, but my guess would be that for a lot of people a horror movie with ghosts wouldn't be as fun if it's proven that ghosts do not exist, which could end up with less ghost movies being made

I said good movies

There's a few good non-ghost horror movies, but not that many

The Shining had Jack Nicholson with an axe.

Any ghosts appearing would've just been a step down from there.

Got spare money?

where are ghosts in the movie the shining? I'm talking about the Kubrick 1979 one. just some girls that appear in front of the lil one, and that lady in the bathtube and that barkeeper.... OK, but they didn't haunt anyone, just visions of people. might consider them ghosts but they were more passive. the real problem is the SICK MIND of the father.

I haven't seen that movie... I was more refering to the part where you mentioned they wheren't good movies (and having seen The Village I believe that the other two movies probably sucks too)

it's about a 20 something guy with a sick mind who kills some people in his social environment but believes it's some ghost from his childhood. most theatre guests believe it

Exactly.

It only dawned on me when Carson died earlier this year though, and I got the chance to read a little about his show. I've never seen any of them. But the trademark introduction of him was of course mentioned, and that's when I connected the dots in the Nicholson scene. Funny how it works sometimes.

Ed McMann did the announcements, he rocked

now he just gives out money, which sounds like a great job

Carson was a riot, and The Tonight Show has, IMO, gone down hill with Leno... Conan O'Brien will be better

hmmm not much info on the 'white lady' but scroll down the page for a small entry:

http://www.arts-info.co.uk/pages/ht_europe.asp

Luckily i can give you more detail.

The tale told localy is a sad one. The white lady is a heart broken young women, probably a nun who may have fallen in love with the wrong guy(obviously being a nun ).

So to hide her shame she jumps from this tower near the main building(its about 25 meters high).

Now for what ever reason this seemingly not evil person gets stuck here as the 'white lady'. She has been recorded being seen around the tower(there is also a small graveyard with a few family tombs near here), and in the gardens of Dartington hall.

Now they have locked the wooden door to the tower, but when i was 'hunting' this ghost you could get in. It was quite cool, a small alter and a few church pews. Probably the family of the great hall used it as a private family church.

I remember suggesting that we sleep in side this small church(its about 10 feet square) - but it never happend, and as i said it i knew i didnt really want to do it!

From what i remember in the 70's a student threw herself of the tower in immitation of the 14th century nun. She was the last recorded case of someone who her friends had said had seen the white lady in the grounds. But since the 14th century there have been a fair few 'mysterious' deaths centered around the tower+gardens and siteings of the 'white lady'.

I was curious why such a soul would become so lethal in death - hoping maybe if we had seen it, to help her break whatever curse she had fallen under(or maybe die in the attempt - it added a certain edge to the event, and we all had a great time, even though we didnt achieve our aim).

Dartington hall is now a fairly prestigous music school(with a bad website).
