Do you believe in the paranormal? Why/why not?

My dad is a pastor and he always had strange feelings about ghosts. He dislikes graveyards because he gets the most intense feelings from that. I think he feels like he's being sought out by them, like they know what his profession is.

I really believe in ghosts. I think souls have the potential to become lost, especially in tragedy. I actually wennt to Eastern State Penitentiary and walked around. It's supposed to be extremely haunted. I remember standing off to the side and feeling like I wasn't alone. And I was getting nervous as the feeling intensified, then I heard what sounded like rocks dropping onto the ground. I spun around to look into the cell where I heard it, and thought part of the building must have broken off because it's so old. But i had that funny feeling and a knot in my stomach (and I wasn't even thinking about ghosts). It felt like the air got a little cooler and I felt like I was being watched. When I walked away, the knot in my stomach was gone. Later on when I was taking pictures I was accidentally on video and i realized almost right away after trying to take what I thought was a picture. Later I listened to video just to and you can clearly hear someone say "Time to go." I asked other people if they heard it too, and some who didn't believe in ghosts were shocks because it's so obvious someone is talking (and i was the only one in that whole cell block at the time. I found it kind of funny though because I had walked into every cell and said hello (i thought it was friendly as opposed to intruding) and that clip seemed to be in response to my hello. Also when I was in the area where they would shower, i got that same uncomfortable feeling.
