kinda the same stance for me as I have with religion - agnostic but would choose fake if I had to pick a side. Ghost stories in general tend to be along the lines of UFO stories, something that one person sees and is unverifiable, and is most likely their imagination running wild over something innocuous tho Vic's lump sum story almost has me swayed

I'm much here except for personal experiences. First thing i do is try to rationalize it. We actually got security cameras put in at home because of some of the weird shit that went down (this way we could at least confirm that the stuff that went down was not human created). For example, we had an old angel statue in our backyard that was made of concrete. One day we went outside in the morning and both wings and the head were hacked off cleanly. No impact signs anywhere on the angel from being dropped or knocked over or hit with a hammer or anything; it was like they were just somehow all broken clean off or hacked through with a single cut each time that left no other damage anywhere. This was before we got our cameras and one of the things that prompted it- I'd like to think that there wasn't a person who got in our backyard and silently hacked the angel up in the middle of the night with us sleeping right there and without damaging or taking anything else- that's not any more reassuring than saying a ghost did it. lol But there isn't any easy explanation for it.

Maybe when the angel statue was first designed, the head and the wings were put on seperately, thus when someone made it fall those parts naturally came clean off?

Unfortunately no- its pretty clear that it was molded all at one time. There were some larger rocks in the concrete and they were shorn in half- one half in the wing and the other in the body, or one half in the head/neck and the other in the body. I wish I had a picture to show; it's the weirdest thing.

Believe me, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out just the physics of what happened, let alone who could have done it.

I think there has to be a logical explanation for it, not sure what that is though.

On a semi-related note:

Vlady the most logical explanation is ghosts

Years of freezing and thawing?

Thought about that as well, except there were no cracks previously on the statue for water to get in, and the fact that all three broke at the same time and cracked the interior rocks embedded in the concrete in half seems weird. I would expect it to break around the rocks, rather than through them.

But you (Ape) are far more an expert on properties of concrete than I am (given your profession), so maybe you can help explain. The rocks inside were actually decent sized: from gravel to about 1/2 to an inch in size.

Vic also could provide some insight on ghost motives for destroying angel sculptures.

RUN, VIC, RUN!!!!

I don't tend to think about ghosts often because I am a bit of a scaredy cat. I don't really think aunt Martha is hanging around the old house but I do believe in the exsistence of demons/angels. The paranormal activity shit freaks me out.

Primate is the expert on the properties of concrete, You are the expert on ghost.
