And I'm an old, hard-core, non-believing atheist too.

All my family witnessed inexplicable things in that house.
I named our "ghost" Charlie and talked to "him", which helped me abandon all my fears. There is inexplicable, weird stuff happening but it doesn't push me to believe in an afterlife, as badly as I'd like to give up my objective reasoning and do so.
