And I actually do have a fascination with the supernatural/aka, the afterlife, insomuch as I wonder about the nature and physics behind it. I am convinced that there can be spirits (NOT souls) which continue to "haunt" locations after a persons death, although their exact nature is a mystery.
As far as witchcraft goes and "curses", I have much harder time believing in certain parts of it. In other words I do NOT believe I will suddenly drop a bowling ball on my feet because someone somewhere placed a curse on me. Now I MAY drop a bowling ball but it would be from my own clumsiness and not from someone making a witches potion using some of my hair that they stole from a hairbrush.

You and I are a lot alike in some ways. I like your theory on hauntings. "Residual energy", which you interpret as "spirit", if I remember correctly.
Now, as far as the witchcraft thing. I agree... just because some bad things or accidents happen, it doesn't mean witchcraft is behind it. However, witchcraft and demonization do manifest on occasions in ways that are uncommon, abnormal, or just disturbing. For example... if your bowling ball became too hot to handle and you dropped it on your foot... or if your hand suddenly locked up ridgid and you dropped it on your foot... or if the bowling ball for no apparent reason moved from it's corale and fell onto your foot while in a conversation. Those things might catch my attention as having spiritual forces behind them. Of course... I'd be thinking I want out of that league. lol
