Superstitious? Nope, not me. Though I do tend to have little keepsakes and the like that mean a lot to me and that I carry for good vibes, luck, or whatever you want to call it. Touchstones, really. I sometimes also choose some dates or numbers - or whatever - based on events related to those same dates, numbers, or whatever, but not obsessively (like if I'm applying for a job and can date my letter to match the birthday of someone I care about, cool). If that's superstition, then I'm guilty as charged to some extent. Not into any negative superstitions, though.

Ghosts? Well, I've seen (once) and felt (a few times) things that I cannot explain - getting chills thinking about the most recent. if not ghosts, some kind of metaphysical presence or emanation that gives me the willies (no phallic reference intended for the Brits among us). I've experienced other psychic phenomena, some perhaps explicable on other terms and some not, and the concept of ghosts is not something I'd dismiss. My grandmother, who seemed to be tuned in to psychic/intuitive things rather nicely, had some great stories about her ghostly experiences.

Your father-in-law sounds like he couldn't give up that last bastion of male power, the remote control. If I were a ghost, I'd probably do the same thing. Actually, I'd become the Ultimate Peeping Tom, I'm sure, but I'd never admit that...don't tell anyone, please. :-)
