Why is it of importance to him? Strange is the least to be said about it but I do notice a resemblance.

The answers to this is irrelevant to the question asked.

How is providing a factual account of what happened trolling?

Yes, there is a resemblance to a poster called Gnu Ordure, who has been active on a variety of other sites over the years. Again, not that this has any bearing on the question asked.

Still waiting Scot.

You're plenty active in other threads, so we all know that you're here. An answer to my straightforward question would be much appreciated.

My parents put the fear in my brothers and I from visiting abandoned places like that. Detailed discussions about structural integrity, the joys of tetanus and application of the trespass laws. Nary a ghostie was mentioned.

Similar here. There was an old garage near our first house with an old inspection pit. I remember being bollocked big time for messing in there. My dad showed me(from outside) where the walls were unsafe etc. A few weeks later it collapsed thankfully with nobody anywhere near it. Never got the "told you so" off my dad but he did, He called it. Lesson learned.

Maybe not you but others? A group can evoke a strong feeling about certain things.

Do you tend to watch many things like Worzel Gummidge in groups?

I get the group hysteria thing in cinemas maybe but many of the things mentioned on here are at best family experiences. Most appear to be accounts of individual experiences of finding various scenes/characters scary.

I really don't see how attempt to "ward" children away from an unsafe location can effectively be achieved by claiming some sort of supernatural activity. Saying "don't go there, it is haunted" is surely only going to prompt an inquisitive child to go and see whether it is actually true or not.

Saying "don't go there, the building is unsafe and it might collapse killing you" is something that a child is less likely to want to go and personally verify.

Once again your comprehension is lacking. Who said that the house where ghosts were meant to reside was unsafe? Another presumption? Can you give an answer for this presumption?

True.
Had they told me the child catcher hid in there to capture naughty kids, I'd have kept out too. They could have then killed him off in the collapse so I could sleep better at night!

No it isn't. You're making the mistake of assuming that I am referring to the house in your post, rather than talking in general terms with MonkeyBoy. You really shouldn't make such presumptions.

And forget asking me anymore questions until such time until you've answered this one.

He said"abandoned places like that" as in similar to. Not ascribing your "haunted house" as structurally unsafe but likening it to other empty buildings.

Not sure you get to lecture on comprehension on that one Scot Dutchy

I think maybe these days kids are not so scared anymore. They would probably download a ghost busting app to check out the place.

I think back in my childhood, kid would've still gone and looked.

Maybe a hundred years ago or more, simple superstition might have kept curious children away.

So when you claim you making a general point then it is ok? When somebody else does they have to be more specific.

Because I'm talking generally about "haunted houses" not about the specific house you mentioned. There is nothing wrong with doing this.

Scot Dutchy wrote:When somebody else does they have to be more specific.

When you're making statements about Corbyn's speech and saying that it is rubbish, it is wholly reasonable to ask for specific examples of why you think it is rubbish.

And as I said in that other thread, there is nothing wrong with you holding the general opinion on Corbyn's speech, but your inability to provide specifics doesn't help anyone understand why you hold the points that you do. As such, we cannot discuss it and therefore it is a waste of time you bringing it up.
