Ghosts...? The Flying Spaghetti Monster is real, or I should say "as real",
although I have never seen it. I would be shocked if I could not find
someone who claims to have done so.

That letter is awesome!

Which makes me wonder - have there ever been any sightings of ghosts of
the Flying Spaghetti Monster? See www.vendaga.org for letter to Kansas
school board regarding FSMism.

Ghosts and hauntings are pure popular culture, as well as the bread and
butter of numerous historic sites and facilities. That is exactly why
there
are so many shows on tv and elsewhere. People eat it up. Consider that
most
of them air on the Sci-Fi channel.

I do not personally believe in them, never having seen any evidence
capable
of convincing me of the existence of anything metaphysical. I often
wonder
if our visiting public truly believes in such things, or if they are
just
running off of the hype and the stories. Perhaps they are lumping them
in
with angels and devils as similar metaphysical and unproveable beings.
Most
of the time I doubt people ever really consider it at all.
