Anyone a believer in the Paranormal?

[diezynueve69]

I live in a predominantly Folk Catholic culture...you know, a pagan-Christian mishmash deeply ingrained in superstition, but I yet have to come across a claim that ain't a hoax of sorts. Here's hoping...

[DrFU]

I think there's all sorts of things going on beyond the abilities of our limited human capacities to perceive and understand.

There's a difference in being open minded and having your brain fall out. Ghosts, witches, Gandalf and/or fairies does not exist. The people claiming to see ghosts, talk to your parents from the grave or whatever has been proven time and time again that they're a bunch of con artists. Give me a break!

Dude, that's not being open minded at all. Noone said anything about fairies or witches. I believe in spirit entity that channels off of ones energy to communicate through one another that left its bodies life form only because I've experienced activity that virtually is unexplainable to the close minded human being or simply to a being that never quite experienced it or doesn't allow themselves to believe it.

There is no proof that such entities exist and I'm not one to jump to conclusions and claim what is real and what is not but judging by the personal experiences I've had, I can honestly say that my awareness of the unknown is certainly one that I would be interested in studying since the process of elimination leaves you baffled when such things occur while others witness it as well.

Of course there are con artists out there that act as mediums and hold rituals to where they con people into what is called "cold readings." There is no doubt that "physic's" are out to make a big pay check but that does not necc. mean there are legit mediums out there that have experienced and progressed their findings the best way they possibly could whether it be sightings, recordings, EVP's and documenting.

Some EVP recording from curious people looking for answers. Very interesting if you could view this without opening yourself up to the possibility. Turn up the volume so you could hear.

I believe in spirits, ghosts, whatever you want to call them. I've had things happen here and there involving recently deceased relatives so it wasn't scary to me at all. My dad who does not believe in ghosts at all has seen my grandmother (my mom's mom) around their house a couple of times, which used to belong to my mother's parents. (My parents moved in when my grandmother died.) My mom has said she can sense her mom there sometimes and I've smelled her perfume once in a while. It's comforting.

My boyfriend used to live in a neighborhood that had been built on land where back in the early 1900's (I think) was home to Ormsby Village Orphanage in Lyndon, KY. About 7 or so years ago, he was sleeping in his recliner and a little girl appeared and touched his arm, which woke him up. At first he thought he was just half awake and half dreaming but after it kept happening he started paying more attention to her. He said it happened more often when he had this orange sweat jacket (hunter's orange) on. She'd just touch his arm, he'd wake up, look at her and she wouldn't vanish right away but everytime he tried to move to talk to her she'd go away. Then she stopped coming around and he then moved couple of years later.

i've had these dreams going on over a year now where i hear a female voice call out my name and then i wake up out of my sleep.the first couple times i thought my girlfriend had maybe called out to me but she didn't.anyone have these type of dreams? or maybe dreams haunted by spirits?

Sometimes if I'm alone I'll hear noises that sounds like a whispered name but it's really quick, pitched enough to know it was a voice but not slow enough to actually make out the name. It's just a really, really, really quick whisper, almost like a hush. I've found myself hearing it in a split second like it's whispered directly into my ear and then looking around to see if my mind is playing tricks. Happened on way more than one occasion.

[artist4perry]

I think the unexplained is just that. Something we cannot explain. I do not deny nor confirm such things because I have never experianced them. My husband had a frightful one. He was recently divorced from his first wife. (I need to add, he was wide awake when this happened) He was at a low point in his faith, and one night something or someone shoved him hard down on the bed. He could not move or breath. He was terrified. He asked God to make it stop. It did. I don't give a care who believes it or not. It may have been a dream. But I have known too many people who have reported such things to call them liars.

Just because you have never dealt with anything other than what you can see does not deny its existance. The atom was thought to be one part, till it was split. And we cannot see air, but see its effects. I beleive there are things we cannot explain. And to call people crazy because you have never experianced it.............is closed minded.

I am still out to lunch on the issue myself. My husband is a good honest man. I don't know what he experianced. He to this day is not sure. But since he was a preacher before that incident............it is amazing to hear him tell it.

[Babyblue]

You've must have been watching paranormal activity one too many times.

Nope, I like creating paranoid activity.

You have me with that right now waiting for my damn picture

Keep asking yourself..........how do you keep a moron in suspense.

Sleep paralysis. It's a common anatomical phenomenon. When lucid dreaming, they're pretty normal (and harmless)

And YoungJRNY, you seems like a smart guy. But I find your argument void of any reason when you say: "for those who wants to believe". Our brain is a magnificent organ, and any kind of, what you call paranormal activity or whatever, can rather easily be explained through knowledge of our mind - psychology. Remember dude, that to this day; no one has proved any kind of ghostly existence. Those who have tried, have been revealed as pseudo scientists or con men/women. None of them got no grasp over elemental physics, and try to explain their "findings" through words like energy, plasma, EM fields and so on. It's just retarded (and does not at all correlate to the laws of physics)

I'm with my man Einstein on this one!

do believe in angels. I believe that they are always here surrounding us, looking over us, protecting
us and comforting us in our darkest moments. I believe that when children are being abused and tortured,
angels wrap themselves around them and shield them from the pain until it's time to take them home
or they help to pull them through!!
I also believe that only the vunerable are able to see them ...there is nothing that can be said

I know enough people have experianced things they cannot explain, and they tell it with fear and trembling. Case in point, a friend of mine lived in an old southern mansion. One night she was in her room and a civil war soldier appeared at the end of her bed. She said nothing in fear of being laughed at. Her brother and sister in law stayed in the same room one night when she was gone to college, they too saw a man of the same description, and too was afraid to tell anyone. Thebn one night her brother stayed in that room and a simular fellow grabbed him out of bed, and started wrestling with him, then vanished into thin air. One day at breakfast her brother laughed, and started telling his story..........the others looked at each other with awe. Then told their stories.

Many people have seen and reported sights of Civil war soldiers walking at night out in fields, and have showed up in old homesteads.


Many sightings in places like New Orleans, and in old castles. Many of these people were afraid of telling what they saw, for fear of being ridiculed. I again, cannot explain what they have experianced. I can only say I can keep my mind open, and the tales are fascinating.

It's just a really, really, really quick whisper, almost like a hush. I've found myself hearing it in a split second like it's whispered directly into my ear and then looking around to see if my mind is playing tricks. Happened on way more than one occasion.

I think this is why I've always been a skeptic about this kind of thing... I've never had the things that people generally describe as "paranormal occurrences" like hearing a voice or seeing an apparition or doors opening or closing on their own, TVs turing on or off... (and even if I did, something like that is easily debunked...). And I'm really leary of all those TV shows too - what's that one... Ghost Adventures or something - those guys are full of shit. Paranormal State is another one... it's always this big dramatic deal, with exorcism and demons and bad acting.

The exception is Ghost Hunters... that is a little bit different of a show. they don't go in looking to prove there's paranormal activity... they go in looking to disprove the claims. Sometimes they can't. There's been some trippy stuff on that show. Most of the time they don't find much. Sometimes.... wow.

But because none of that ever happened to me, I used to be like... "oh come on!" Even when my sister was literally in tears telling me her experience... I wanted to say "do you know what you sound like?" But of course I didn't say that... she was really freaked out by it. Her's was not necessarily "paranormal", and the incident DID happen. But I was chalking it up to a very weird coincidence and she put a meaning to it. But as I said, recently, the exact thing happen to me. Same circumstances, same occurrence, same... I guess "entity"... we were even doing the same thing when it happened... driving. I was so freaked out I cried the rest of the way home. it wasn't a bad or scary thing that happened though, just way freaky.

It was just too much for me to be able to write it off. Some things, you can't ignore.

[artist4perry]

I think keeping an open mind is the key. I don't know what you or your sister experianced Kim. I do know the closest thing happens to me when I quilt. My great Aunt Bernice took care of me when my folks worked in the factories at night. She took care of me all day and night during the week. She took me berry hunting, picking polk salad, and tending the garden.

She taught me the wonders of nature, and living in the country I explored its bounty every day.

She loved me very much, and let me brush her hair, wich extended to the ground.

She taught me how to quilt. She would make quilts out of old bed sheets and her clothes she could no longer wear. I could always feel her behind me, guiding my hands, and talking to me sweetly. When she passed away I felt she was near me. Now every time I quilt I feel her behind me, again guiding my hands. The whole time I made that Journey Friendship quilt, I felt her near. Maybe it is the essence of her memory in my heart. If so, there is nothing wrong with that.

And maybe, feeling those that we love are near, can comfort us in great trials. She looked over my daughters crib when she was born, I am sure of that. She raised 3 generations of children that were not her own. She never married. She lived to care for children, and her health was best when she had some to care for. She was an amazing woman. I hope to join her one day.

Just wondering if anyone here has had ANY experience with the after life or is open minded in believing such entity's exist with the deceased.

I've had slight brush's with it but am eager to see the views on this subject with anyone here before I go in depth.

I do know this... MR personalities are like Marvel comic characters. You can kill them off, but with the right idea and story line they can be resurrected anytime.

At a very young age, I was always open to the fact that ghosts and the paranormal of the after life indeed exist. I was always incredibly spooked out by that thought and because of that thought, I was always an open minded believer.

Even though the certain kind of skepticism is there due to the unexplained, the very thought of life after death is one of the most fascinating aspects to deep thought and the possibility of the after world.

With that said, it wasn't too long ago, to maybe around a year/ year 1/2 ago to where I experienced some unseen figure in my bedroom, staring down on me. I could not see anyone present as my room is small, but for one of the first times in my life, I KNEW someone was in the room and was creeped out by knowing something was indeed standing in front to the left of my bed watching me sleep. It's unexplained, but this presence was so powerful, that it kept me up for several upon several of hours and it made me feel very uncomfortable and petrified. The only thing I could really do was stare wide eyes in the direction to where I felt being watched. It literally felt like someone standing there as if you would be standing next to someone at a bank or so. The feeling of being watched was truly unbearable and felt the urge that if you turned around, someone would be standing there.

I've had maybe one of two, maybe three of those nights to where I've felt an unknown feeling I was being watched to where I wanted to get up only to want to look over my shoulder, but none of it happened recently.

Around the same time, one morning maybe around 6:00 A.M I woke up which felt to be a sense of being paralyzed. I couldn't move an ounce of my muscles and felt as if someone was laying on top of me so to speak. I tried moving my body but was unsuccessful. I could barely even open my eyes or talk but I was alert and knew I was scared and very much felt it. It lasted maybe about 40-50 seconds and it disappeared leaving me in an unexplained state of fear.

This happened once or twice after that but none recently or ever again. Due to my open mindless to the dead, there is no doubt in my mind that someone from the afterworld was present in my bedroom that night and morning.

I recently (literally 30 min ago) finished a book by Elaine Mercado named "Grave's End." I couldn't put the book down and found that she talks of many experiences where she felt someone on top of her within her sleep, feeling paralyzed and sometimes violated, something she called "smothering."

She described it to be very similiar to my small experience and I instantly made the terrifying connection and then came across other peoples experiences

About a year and a half ago, I was awoken in the night by a strong, warm breeze. I could not move and could not scream. It lasted about 30 seconds and was gone. I saw nothing. Last week it happened again. I was lying in bed and again was awoken. I felt a very strong force holding me down. I could not sit up. I tried to scream for my daughter and could not get any noise to come out. I tried to hit the wall with my arm and this force would not let me. It again lasted about 30 seconds and was over. I really don't believe in ghosts and didn't see anything at all. I am just really scared and confused.

Have you ever had a similar experience? The above incident is a classic example of what has become known as the "old hag" syndrome and is one of many such letters I receive from readers each month. The victims awake to find that they cannot move, even though they can see, hear, feel and smell. There is sometimes the feeling of a great weight on the chest and the sense that there is a sinister or evil presence in the room. And like the above reader, they are often quite frightened about what is happening to them.

The name of the phenomenon comes from the superstitious belief that a witch - or an old hag - sits or "rides" the chest of the victims, rendering them immobile. Although that explanation isn't taken very seriously nowadays, the perplexing and often very frightening nature of the phenomenon leads many people to believe that there are supernatural forces at work - ghosts or demons.

The experience is so frightening because the victims, although paralyzed, seem to have full use of their senses. In fact, it is often accompanied by strange smells, the sound of approaching footsteps, apparitions of weird shadows or glowing eyes, and the oppressive weight on the chest, making breathing difficult if not impossible. All of the body's senses are telling the victims that something real and unusual is happening to them. The spell is broken and the victims recover often on the point of losing consciousness. Fully awake and well, they sit up, completely baffled by what just happened to them since now the room is entirely normal.

About 5 months ago I experienced my touch light right next to me on my dresser turn on by itself. I saw it flick on through my eyelids and it actually woke me up. I looked at the clock and it was around 2:05 A.M. This never happened before, so I figured it was a malfunction with electricity of the touch light.

Around 2:15 that next night, it flicked on once more, but turning off, then turning RIGHT back on.

I was def. spooked and ran downstairs to tell my brother about what happened. I didn't turn it off or anything and when I returned upstairs the light was still on.

I took a pic of the light and sent it to my GF explaining what happened. It didn't flick on again until around 2 weeks later, while my gf slept over. Again, it was around the time of 2:00-2:30 A.M and woke me up. I actually had to wake up my girlfriend as well and show her that I wasn't crazy. She gasped and was freaked out, so I unplugged it. It didn't happen since. The time of occurrence to where it happened made me suspicious of the coincidence of timing of the light flickering. I had that lamp for 3 years and never experienced it to turn on and off like that on the dime or at the same time nightly.

I heard things like flickering of lights are family members of the deceased just saying hello. Many people who feel STRONGLY about ghosts and who had countless of run ins with them say spirits are energies of the dead that either haven't accepted the fact that they passed away, or are not aware that they are even dead.

My aunt will not SPEAK of Ouija Boards and won't allow one in her home. My mom always tells me stories about some crazy stuff that happened with her sister and the Oujia. They always said my aunt could channel spirits and always had a knack to have something happen in the house during anytime (things shaking, breaking, accessories being move, etc.)

Her daughter just gave birth to a new baby boy, and her 3 year old says he sees "the ghost man sitting the end of the bed" at night. I couldn't imagine a 3 year old even smart enough to know what a ghost man looks like. My aunt always asks him what the ghost man looks like and he never responds. Ironically, my other cousin when he was little (he's now 27) would always speak of a man sitting at the end of the bed with a hat and looking out the window. Friends claimed to see this as well if they slept over. My aunt strongly gets the presence that it's our grandfathers watching over the newborns in the family.

There was also an incident, where me, my brother and his gf were in the kitchen and heard my dog barking in the family room. We went to calm him down and he was sitting in front of my computer chair with noone in it, barking like someone was indeed sitting there. We all looked at each other and couldn't move the first thought that entered all of our heads was the unforeseeable.


I'll post some EVP's (Electric Voice Phenomena) of what some people captured of unexplained voices channeling from the other side tomorrow.

Everything you described points at you having a bout of Sleep Paralysis, basically a mistransmission of neural signals in the brain.

Feeling that someone is in the room, that you are suffocating, seeing figures around you, not being able to get up or move and a slew of other fears that can overwhelm you are all part of the experience.
The great thing with this is that these symptoms CAN and HAVE been duplicated in a controlled environment while the patient is under observation, no mumbo jumbo or guessing needed here.
No ghosts, no midnight visitors, no demons sitting on your chests, just the brain going a little haywire.

I know, not as exciting or romantic as actually seeing ghosts or being visited from the beyond but compared to TV and the movies, reality never is, is it?

[parfait]

Sleep paralysis. It's a common anatomical phenomenon. When lucid dreaming, they're pretty normal (and harmless)

And YoungJRNY, you seems like a smart guy. But I find your argument void of any reason when you say: "for those who wants to believe". Our brain is a magnificent organ, and any kind of, what you call paranormal activity or whatever, can rather easily be explained through knowledge of our mind - psychology. Remember dude, that to this day; no one has proved any kind of ghostly existence. Those who have tried, have been revealed as pseudo scientists or con men/women. None of them got no grasp over elemental physics, and try to explain their "findings" through words like energy, plasma, EM fields and so on. It's just retarded (and does not at all correlate to the laws of physics)

I'm with my man Einstein on this one!

Thank you for showing us over and over again that YOU are no Einstein Evolution.... can't be disproven... right? Well NEITHER can this...so...hmmm, sounds a little hypocritical, huh???

Yack yack yack! Stop your rambling, Teflon Lynn!

Evolution's amount of scientific funds and research that back it up, is so vast that to disprove of it is pure retardation. You can disprove however the existence of ghosts by physical limitations and laws that lays the foundation for everything in existence. Right now, the amount of real evidence pointing to the existence of God is 0. In fact, I'd call the amount to be rather <0 because of all the cons and quasi science that has continuously been disproved by real scientists. So from that, I come to the conclusion that ghosts do not exist. The probability for the existence of said entity is as big as the existence of Odin, Shiva, Fairies, Elfs or the easter bunny. It's called having a rational mind

Quick note about ghost hunters:

Virtually all ghost hunter groups claim to be scientific, and most give that appearance because they use high-tech scientific equipment such as Geiger counters, Electromagnetic Field (EMF) detectors, ion detectors, and infrared cameras [and sensitive microphones]. Yet the equipment is only as scientific as the person using it; you may own the world's most sophisticated thermometer, but if you are using it as a barometer, your measurements are worthless. Even after two seasons and over ten years of research, they still have yet to prove that ghosts exist!

i've had these dreams going on over a year now where i hear a female voice call out my name and then i wake up out of my sleep.the first couple times i thought my girlfriend had maybe called out to me but she didn't.anyone have these type of dreams? or maybe dreams haunted by spirits?

Sometimes if I'm alone I'll hear noises that sounds like a whispered name but it's really quick, pitched enough to know it was a voice but not slow enough to actually make out the name. It's just a really, really, really quick whisper, almost like a hush. I've found myself hearing it in a split second like it's whispered directly into my ear and then looking around to see if my mind is playing tricks. Happened on way more than one occasion.

similar to what i hear.does it ever scare you a bit?

Another symptom of sleep paralysis that can be explained and duplicated. No need for the fear. If you let stuff like this scare you with out coming to understand the facts of what you are experiencing, you are going to be in a difficult position comforting your children when it eventually happens to them.

Nah I don't believe it. To me it's another one of those human arrogance things, like we're so special as a species that we can come back from the dead. No one ever sees ghost possums with unfinished business.

I do find Ghost Hunters interesting. But I'm more afraid of "real life" creepers hiding in the dark than ghosts.

I've had that paralyzed feeling a million times - it's a well-recognized phenomenon. I forget what it's called, but you're like kinda in between sleep and waking.

Sleep paralysis. It's a common anatomical phenomenon. When lucid dreaming, they're pretty normal (and harmless)

And YoungJRNY, you seems like a smart guy. But I find your argument void of any reason when you say: "for those who wants to believe". Our brain is a magnificent organ, and any kind of, what you call paranormal activity or whatever, can rather easily be explained through knowledge of our mind - psychology. Remember dude, that to this day; no one has proved any kind of ghostly existence. Those who have tried, have been revealed as pseudo scientists or con men/women. None of them got no grasp over elemental physics, and try to explain their "findings" through words like energy, plasma, EM fields and so on. It's just retarded (and does not at all correlate to the laws of physics)

I'm with my man Einstein on this one!

Thank you for showing us over and over again that YOU are no Einstein Evolution.... can't be disproven... right? Well NEITHER can this...so...hmmm, sounds a little hypocritical, huh???

Yack yack yack! Stop your rambling, Teflon Lynn!

Evolution's amount of scientific funds and research that back it up, is so vast that to disprove of it is pure retardation. You can disprove however the existence of ghosts by physical limitations and laws that lays the foundation for everything in existence. Right now, the amount of real evidence pointing to the existence of God is 0. In fact, I'd call the amount to be rather <0 because of all the cons and quasi science that has continuously been disproved by real scientists. So from that, I come to the conclusion that ghosts do not exist. The probability for the existence of said entity is as big as the existence of Odin, Shiva, Fairies, Elfs or the easter bunny. It's called having a rational mind

Quick note about ghost hunters:

Virtually all ghost hunter groups claim to be scientific, and most give that appearance because they use high-tech scientific equipment such as Geiger counters, Electromagnetic Field (EMF) detectors, ion detectors, and infrared cameras [and sensitive microphones]. Yet the equipment is only as scientific as the person using it; you may own the world's most sophisticated thermometer, but if you are using it as a barometer, your measurements are worthless. Even after two seasons and over ten years of research, they still have yet to prove that ghosts exist!

You will learn in time Parfait, that as you age, your not as brilliant as you think you are. God has science to back it up, lots in fact. I just won't waste my breath to explain it to you. You see you think your a know it all. Thus your mind is closed and the wasting of my time is all it would amount to. When you discover that the older you get the less you truly know in the vast sceme of things, and that daily you learn how wrong you were about the day before, is the day you become wise. That is why they do not equate wisdom with younger people in general..............their arrogence their knowledge, and they lack respect for others. Not all mind you. But you seem to lack a great deal of respect for people here who are sharing their thoughts. I am glad they are. Just because your too closed minded and narrow in your thought, does not mean we all agree with you..............or will. Nor does it make you always right. That only exists in your brain. Psudo reality as they say.

No please. Show me the evidence.

I'm rational, not close minded by the way. I don't know it all either. I'm interested in science, politics and philosophy, as it is the main reasons for how our society functions as does today. Clean water in your faucet? Polio vaccine? Cars? I could go on and on. The fact that you take the easy way out, doesn't make me close minded - far from it.

And thanks Don, good to see there's another rational dude around here
