You're home alone at night. You see a ghostly figure go into a room at the end of the hall. What do you do?

...because if it as very powerfully obvious what it looked like, as in this case, a "ghostly figure", I would probably "mentally steel myself" for what I might see if I were to follow it. Basically I would want to quickly imagine many possibilities and center my mind on what I'd want (or expect) to see. Of course this would happen in a matter of a second or three...not very long at all. I am assuming that "immediately investigate" means to have zero hesitation, which I doubt I would have the courage to do here, since I have to consider that I may not be a neutral observer only...kinda like looking both ways before crossing the street, ya know?

ALSO, this only applies in this case that I was alone....if I was with a friend or someone I trusted I would investigate immediately. I would go so far as to say I could just be on my cell phone with someone and investigate immediately. Something about experiencing something like that with others would greatly diminish the fear/hesitation response. Safety in numbers?

Ok....this is edit #3!!! This is a great poll by the way...something I wanted to add is how do I instinctively feel about the figure? Underneath any anxiety brought about by a sudden event like that...do I feel that it has intent, and of what kind? If it was what I call a vampiric entity of some kind, did I feel like my energy was being drained by it's presence...was it a dark black inhuman figure that smelled of rotten meat...in those cases I may teeter on actually not investigating, and if I do it would be forcefully investigate, basically using the fear emotion and turning it into anger (which of course is very easy to do) to confront what may be a malevolent being and getting it out of my home. In most cases though I would not be angry but ...oh what the word I'm looking for...maybe "business mode" ? Well I'm rambling, it's 6 am, maybe the spirits in my apt. are getting restless!! I'm joking, my life is quite mundane, thank you. hehe

i would for surely try and communicate with it..been there and done that but didnt actually see a figure but rocking chair was moving and i definately felt a pressence in the room,this room had not been occupied in many many years and there was no wind but something was in that rocking chair and i was straight sober and tryed communicating with it with what i feel was positive as i was never really bothered by it again,sometimes you will get the cold chills and that funny feeling in your gut to let you know its there but had always been peacefull since day one...maybe i post a blog with more details on the ol house and more detail later....peace...

"hell,you only live once and might as well give it all you can wether partying like a motha or driving 125 to stay alive or 210 so you can do it again..in other words have all the freakin' fun you can possibly have and dont worry about all the bull s**t."
