No, it does not make sense.
Deep??

Perhaps a good "suspicion" on Doug's part, but not what happened in 1964. They went bowling and then stopped to have a steak dinner at the Ponderosa Restaurant. Scout's honor. Ouija board was right on target.
Even if the Ponderosa was a topless bar, which it was not, Ouija still would be correct. Doug has the wrong generation.

There were no topless bars in N.J. back then and these two 19 year old good Catholic boys would not have been allowed in a bar in 1964.

We never drank either, as the drinking age was 21. We dated from age 17 till we married at 20. Still couldn't legally drink. Times were different back then.

I notice a connection between belief in ghosts and other conspiracies. Ho ho hum so typical.

Here's a true story: After my father died, I sometimes would work in a 15' X 15' workshop that we built together. One day while working at the workbench, I picked up his scent. It was a unique scent that he had while at work in his work clothes, not good or bad but just unique. Most days I couldn't detect it at all but every once in a while it was there. I just couldn't figure out any way to explain it.

So, if it was his ghost, I guess that explains why I am a ghost. It might be genetic.

SECOND PART OF ANSWER TO YOUR ORIGINAL POST:
It is also called clairscent; please see my original answer above this.

CLAIRSCENT

Clairscent (clear smelling) – To smell a fragrance/odor of substance or food which is not in one's surroundings. These odors are perceived without the aid of the physical nose and beyond the limitations of ordinary time and space.



CLAIR SENSES


This collective word phrase includes any or all types of psychic sensitivity corresponding to the senses: seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting, touching. Clair Senses in psychic terms are translated:


clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairscent, clairtangency, and clairgustance.


CLAIRVOYANCE

Clairvoyant (clear vision) -- To reach into another vibrational frequency and visually perceive "within the mind's eye" something existing in that realm. A clairvoyant is one who receives extrasensory impressions, and symbols in the form of "inner sight" or mental images which are perceived without the aid of the physical eyes and beyond the limitations of ordinary time and space. These impressions are more easily perceived in an alpha state and during meditation, though many clairvoyants can obtain visual information regarding the past, present and future in a variety of environments.


CLAIRAUDIENCE

Clairaudience (clear audio /hearing) -- To perceive sounds or words and extrasensory noise, from sources broadcast from spiritual or ethereal realm, in the form of "inner ear" or mental tone which are perceived without the aid of the physical ear and beyond the limitations of ordinary time and space. These tones and vibrations are more easily perceived in an alpha state and during meditation, though many clairaudients can obtain verbal and sound-related information regarding the past, present and future in a variety of environments.


CLAIRSENTIENCE

Clairsentience (clear sensation or feeling) - To perceive information by a "feeling" within the whole body, without any outer stimuli related to the feeling or information. (Also see clairempathy)


CLAIRSCENT

Clairscent (clear smelling) – To smell a fragrance/odor of substance or food which is not in one's surroundings. These odors are perceived without the aid of the physical nose and beyond the limitations of ordinary time and space.


CLAIRTANGENCY

Clairtangency (clear touching) -- More commonly known as psychometry. To handle an object or touch an area and perceive through the palms of one's hands information about the article or its owner or history that was not previously known by the clairtangent.

CLAIRGUSTANCE

Clairgustance (clear tasting) -- To taste a substance without putting anything in one's mouth. It is claimed that those who possess this ability are able to perceive the essence of a substance from the spiritual or ethereal realms through taste.


CLAIREMPATHY

Clairempathy (clear emotion) – An Empath is a person who can psychically tune in to the emotional experience of a person, place or animal. Clairempathy is a type of telepathy to sense or feel within one's self, the attitude, emotion or ailment of another person or entity. Empaths tune into the vibrations and "feel" the tones of the aura.

Not sure if that is true at least not in my case. I do like to keep an open mind about things but studying philosophy makes you quite logical and skeptical in outlook whereas my law degree emphasized the "what's in it for me" attitude that was extremely prevalent among the law students and law professors at least at the University of Minnesota Law School from 1986 through 1991 or so. Very few law students look for conspiracies unless the Mafia, the Catholic Church, the CIA, a huge corporation or some other very powerful entity is involved. You need to stick to the adage of Keep It Simple Stupid for the jury but really strut your knowledge of legalize for judges and especially appellate level judges. I do remember one defense from my Antitrust class which was the "Who Me" one. Where a huge company would target a much smaller one, snatch it up and then have their officers basically deny any knowledge of the acquisition or hostile takeover or whatever. They could bury the paperwork in their mountains of paper generated.

I will bet many wrong doers just deny things they have done by implying that the victim was too unimportant a target for them to bother with violating their rights.

There is a very telling story about abuse of power and people getting away with it from the news last night on ABC on October 30 with George Stephanopoulos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephanopoulos Check out the story about black lung disease among miners and the doctor who looks like he was paid to basically just do the coal company's bidding. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/invest...ry?id=20721430 There certainly is a conspiracy involved in this matter if you look at the facts presented.

Back to ghosts, I do hope that this doctor is haunted by some from the patients with black lung disease who subsequently died probably so that he could cash in a huge pay check by ignoring their conditions. How does he get away with this? Because he has an inordinately more amount of influence, money and power that than of his victims.

Yes, I believe in ghost. Shortly after my husbands mother died we would be sitting in the living room and would hear a cabinet opening and closing in the kitchen. At first we had no clue what was going on.

The last few years of Toms mothers life all she ate was Lays potato chips so we think she was going in the cabinet where I kept the chips. I stopped buying chips for a few weeks and did not hear any sounds coming from the kitchen. I finally bought more chips and sure enough she started going back in that cabinet. This went on for about three months and then suddenly stopped. We think it was her way of letting us know she had made it to the other side.

Now, I am not crazy but after my mother died she called and left a message on her answering machine. I still have that message and will never delete it. I asked her before she died if there was anyway to contact me, to do so. When I heard that message the hairs on my arms raised and chills throughout my body. It was eerie to say the least.

Yes, yes, yes, I believe in ghost.

I've always enjoyed hearing other people's stories and always thankfull they share their stories. I like to explore things I don't fully understand.

Having children is also genetic. If your parents didn't have any, odds are you won't have any either.
