  1. Do you guys believe in ghosts? Do you guys have any stories to share?
     
  2. Iv personally never seen a ghost but I have family members who say they've seen my old nan and stuff, but I guess I'll believe it when I see it! I believe in aliens though there's defiantly something out there

    no i dont believe in ghosts...and i think ghost stories for the most part are laughable...

    like when people say they seen a man in Victorian clothing and a top hat holding a cane standing at the top of the stairs...

    so now clothes have a soul and can be ghosts too, if ghosts were around they'd have to be naked because clothes can't die...

    or fucking with electronics like turning TVs on or off and what not...its just non-sense

    also what decides who gets to be a ghost after death? does everyone get to be a ghost or only select people? Either way it'd be ridiculous because of all the billions of people that have been alive on this planet at one point and died, the "ghost realm" would have to be retarded crowded...

     
  5. I never believed until I went to gettysburg at night
     
  6. I don't believe in destiny
    Or the guiding hand of fate
    I don't believe in forever
    Or love as a mystical state
    I don't believe in the stars or the planets
    Or angels watching from above
    But I believe there's a ghost of a chance
    We can find someone to love
    And make it last
     
  7. One of my favorite places on earth.

    I never believed in ghosts, the classical interpretation, but recently started thinking about them in terms of energy and perception.

    Consider that humans are not equipped to see everything there is to see, for example ultra violet or infrared. My favorite, the Mantis Shrimp has vision that absolutely runs circles around humans'. As such, I entertain the idea that there is far more out there to see or even feel than we can.

    Enter energy.
    Just like the Mantis is equipped with vastly superior vision which allows him to see things and colors we cannot, could there not be an energetic equivalent? Something that perceives energies we cannot.
    There are already many energies humans have to use machinery and computers to detect, e.g. a Geiger counter for lower levels of radiation, or whatever fancy tech is needed to detect neutrinos passing through. Without those machines, we would be completely oblivious to their existence.



    Point is, we already know for a fact that things exist we are not equipped to see or feel. The million Dollar question is, how deep does that rabbit hole go.


    Even if Hollywood type ghosts do not exist, and grandma did not decide to linger on clanking chains for all eternity, I can still see simpler, more random sorts of inexplicable energies existing. How complex those then can be is up for interpretation and discovery.

    In a previous forum I suggested that, if we consider parallel universes existing, could it be that specific events cause them to interact in various, still unknown, unexplained, and obviously undetected ways? Perhaps the old man with a top hat someone saw in the stairwell really was there......in another time, in another place....

  9. Really? Tell us about it
     
  10. I've personally never seen anything such as a ghost. I have however, seen orbs of light dash across the room or a surface quickly. IMO, I do not believe that once people die, there soul remains in this world or any type of limbo state. There is no gray area. I believe it is either an angel (orbs of light) or demons (shadows or manipulation of a passed loved one). If anyone is experiencing extreme paranormal activity, you probably have a bad spirit attached by opening a door via ouija boards, witchcraft, santanism, or anything/anyone associated with such things.
     
  11. Yep. I didn't believe for 19 years so I get the skeptic thing, but I've seen enough shit to believe. A three dimensional object will leave a two dimensional shadow, and I believe ghost are a higher dimensional entity leaving a three dimensional shadow.
     
  12. if youre to see a ghost it'll most likely be in the dark


    your brain wants to give you as much information as possible using your senses, even when your senses dont know what theyre seeing/hearing. so your brain fills the gaps with whatever you already know or can imagine


    I've both "seen" and "heard" ghosts. But it was all in my head and believing otherwise would be silly
