Let's hope they don't sue you in future for giving bad advice. |
Quite the opposite Inn Spectre - they'll probably thank me when they're older for opening their young eyes and minds to logic and not having the default belief in unrealistic, unfounded, unscientific beliefs in the supernatural.

Same as usual - not answering the door to brats whose negligent parents let them roam un-chaperoned in the dark, making demands with menaces. |
What do you do with the persistent ones - shout through the letterbox that all their ghosts are real and science is rubbish?.

I pretend to give-in and start handing out chocolates laced with a powerful laxative. Thereafter there's only one door that interests them. |

dont think i,ll bother taking my kids out this year now lol
halloween when your a kid is great, i used to love it, going trick n treating then coming home and munch on the goodies and tell each other ghost storys and scare each other half to death
its fun for kids, they dont need to know whether ghosts are real or not or all the scientific side of it
they just enjoy the thrill of it all  |

I don't have a problem spending anytime in any haunted place. Most people who go to these places are already convinced there's ghosts to be found, thus any noise, cold spot, 'funny feeling', shadow, EVP etc becomes their ghost. Whether all of the above could have perfectly mundane explanations is irrelevant since 'ghosts did it' is their default position. The correct term is Confirmation bias:

I also doubt that buildings have the ability to capture and play back emotions or past events in the way envisioned by TC Lethbridge's Stone Tape theory.
Ghosts don't haunt people - people haunt themselves (most of the time)
