As I am terrible at quoting everyone and replying to everyone....

Knowledge of this stuff really cannot be found on the internet or read in a book. Sure you can get the general idea down but really understanding it is more of a hands on thing. I learn more every time I go, and as dumb as this sounds I seem to pick up on more things going on. Granted at certain places I know where certain "entities" usualy are but then again their presence becomes more recognizable.

As with the whole the ghosts/demons pick you thing... I agree and disagree. For example, I went to my place in Canton last Thursday. I took two of my female friends with me they had never been somewhere haunted before and threw some gas in my tank so I took them there. Well, when we first got there, it seemed as if it might be a boring night. Both of the girls were freaked out a little bit because of how creepy the place is but never saw anything really or heard much of anything. Well they both wanted to see something so we went further back where it starts getting creepier or worse where you tend to see things. Walking back to one of the "Barriers" (only few will understand) both girls completely froze white face. Both saw the exact same thing, a man in a hooded robe or sweatshirt, hood over his blank face, holding a candle starring at both of them.
So in that part I agree, "Candleman" wanted to find the girls for whatever reason.
I did not see him for atleast 20 seconds, both girls saying he was still there only as if he were pacing back and forth to show movement. I spotted him by the very light glow of the candle or whatever it may be and it did seem as if he were starring directly at the girls.

However, going past this "Barrier" with a group of friends we have all been run off as a group. 7 people got run off. I had that "something is following us" thing going on and whatever made the noise, was A no less that 8-10 feet away and B not even possible something human or animal created that noise. Much as the noise you would imagine if a child got his soul forcfully ripped out of his body. Quite freaky. So in that case, the "entity" did not choose someone, he went after all of us. Apparently he/she did not like where we were.

So in a nut shell, I am up and down about getting picked out.
