As you may know, I don’t believe in religion, but I DO believe in a non-material reality, and I do believe in ghosts.

If you are a materialist, and don’t believe in such things, would YOU spend the night in a haunted house?

If I had adequate incentive ... absolutely.

And unless the place was just too noisy and/or drafty, I’d get a good night’s sleep too.

That’s a trick question, seeing as there are no such things as “haunted house”.

Only if the haunted house was in a cemetary. Lets make it really interesting!

There is no such thing as ghosts, just people’s delusionary propensity to want there to be.

OK, but I would stay in a house Airy Spirit believed was haunted so long as there was cable TV, WiFi, a minibar and a good bed.

THE TEUCHTER ABRIDGED BIBLE:

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God.

26 Then man said, “Let us make God in our image, in our likeness, and let him let us rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth,  and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So man created God in his own image,
    in the image of man he created him;
    male and female they created him.

I’ll sleep anywhere as long as I get access to Cinemax after dark.

Just to prove a point? Probably not.  I wouldn’t be worried about ghosts as so much sleeping in a strange house on a bed that’s not mine.  It’s hard for me to sleep in any bed other than my own.

If there was a money incentive, sure.  But I would want to be comfortable.  Tell me all the ghost stories you want, I just need to be able to sleep.
