I used to live across the street from one that resided in the abandoned Westminster College in Tehuacana, TX. He never bothered anyone, just kept stareing out different windows at night, creepy as all get out.

edit: no night light, hell I can barely go to sleep when there is light coming into my bedroom.

What about it? The legitimacy of them? All they are is a device for exemplifying the power of suggestion in groups.

A few months back I had to attend one of those 'team building' workshop things for work. A bunch of "fun" activities that were supposed to emphasize the need for teamwork and trust, blah blah blah. One of the excercises consisted of a group of 10 or so people holding up a hoola hoop with only our index fingers. You could only touch 1 index finger per person on the bottom of the hoop, and we had to try and keep it perfectly level in one spot. Well try as we could, we absolutely could not keep that hoola hoop from raising up. Everyone was yelling at everyone else, "Stop lifting it! You're not doing it right!", but it didn't matter, the hoola hoop kept raising until half the people couldn't reach it anymore.

So was the hoola hoop possessed? Controlled by some supernatural power? Obviously not. It's just something that happens in group situations like that.
