Nadril Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 They can all be explained, I.E there is nothing paranormal about them and ghosts don't exist. Pretty much my stance on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiriyama Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Pleasure Beach at Blackpool. Ghost Train there is haunted. Turned on one night on its own, they pulled the plug and everything and it was still going. Also people have felt things touch em and weird noises. Same Place, shop there is haunted by children. Shop keepers put stuff on shelf and next morning everything was out of place. Plus in Blackpool my Dad saw the ghost of his dead step-dad and won't go by that area. Road on the way to Moffat is haunted by a dead postman. Hes just delivering his mail along that road. Said to happen mostly near the anniversary of his death. (further down from where he died, a woman survived the drop that killed him. Car is still down there somewhere.)

assassin_696 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I like it how if there's an afterlife with billions of ghosts floating about, they're all mischevious and just like to kick stuff over at night or walk up and down creaky staircases in old buildings to spook people a bit. :P "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I like it how if there's an afterlife with billions of ghosts floating about, they're all mischevious and just like to kick stuff over at night or walk up and down creaky staircases in old buildings to spook people a bit. :P While I haven't decided if I believe in ghosts or not, your information is a little flawed. According to leading parapsychologists, when someone dies with a large connection to this world (ie a large sum of money to a greedy person, guilt from a murderer, or love of a family from your average joe) an imprint of that person's pysche is left as an "echo" or "reflection." This is not a manifestation of the original person, but an afterthought. It's not really hard to believe, given the sheer potential of the human brain. Poltergeists are something entirely different. I personally believe that Satan is the king of this world, and that the world is his domain. Since Hell would be a part of that domain, some souls trapped there might reach out into our world to express anger or frustration, since they are stuck here for eternity. However, as I said, I don't really believe in ghosts. I do, however, believe in paranormal circumstances such as the imprinting as I stated above. It's easy to simply dismiss something because you haven't experienced it yourself, but serious research is being put into the paranormal. When I am bored, I like to go to http://www.shadowlands.net and figure out which stories are legitimate and which are bullcrap :P. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I wasn't really dismissing it, just making a point that whatever's happened, it's all fairly innocous stuff. As if they're practical jokers or something, popping up in your family photos. On a serious note, yes, a lot of serious research is being put into paranormal activity. And the results? Nothing, absolutely no proper evidence in favour of the paranormal. Take Susan Blackmore for example. She had a powerful out of body experience in her university days, strong enough to make her believe in psychics, paranormal stuff, the whole lot. So did her doctoral thesis on that kind of thing, investigating it scientifically and whatnot. She found absolutely no evidence for it, and soon got frustrated with how convinced people would be that their own experience was genuinely paranormal despite the evidence to the contrary. I don't think scientists should ever be close-minded to the possibility, and yes, proper scientific tests should be done on this kind of thing. But it's a hard area to work in when so much of the evidence is anecdotal and heresay, and even when disproven is unlikely to be accepted.

StrOwez Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 The one thing I don't like about so called ghosts and ghosts hunters especially is unbelievable enthusiasm they seem to give out when they take a picture in like a dusty basement of a castle and then they say 'WOW HAVE a look at these energy orbs they are everywhere here wow wow wow' I just fail to get the same level of excitement as them :-w over some balls of light in a picture..

I don't believe in out-of-body, psychics, and that sort of crap. That area of paranormal research is a joke. My statements are regarding "ghosts," not attention starved psychotic fools. I've actually been on a "ghost hunt" before. Most of the fun came from doing the research and interviews of locals. We were hunting a spirit called "La LLorona" (The Weeping Woman) in the El Paso area. We never tracked her down (her haunting grounds stretch a 300 mile area of the Rio Grande, after all) but we had a hell of a time hearing all sorts of folk tales and stories. My English professor at the time nearly fainted when I presented our research, as it was an amazing compilation of primary sources. Regardless of what you believe, just dismissing it isn't fun :P. Ghost hunting rocks. However, the crappy stories tick me off. (ie the ones kids tell each other that are replicated thousands of times in any city in the state). My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

Tbfgraphx14 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I just don't want to bother with things like this. So I just take a side and keep on it. I do not believe in the paranormal, I have my reasons but then again I just don't like to worry myself up over if they are real or not. :wink: Tbfgraphx14Happy to find I'm not the only one who eats glass.

Barihawk Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 For those interested: http://theshadowlands.net/ghost/ Before someone makes a wise-guy comment about all the religious references to prayers on this site, David Julianos states "I don't really know if prayers work or not, but here's the deal: they don't hurt. The worst thing that could happen is the loss of 20 seconds of your time." Anyways, since Assassin brought up the haunting of family photos: [hide] Personal favorite Eeks! If this was a fake, it was a good one. Julianos has the original picture. The guy in the rear left was never there As you can see, he is translucent. The little girl in the center, there's a boy behind her that shouldn't be See the mirror in the left? Woman was not there (pictures of mirrors seem to be the best way to catch an apparition) To the right of the left suit of armor. Man and child in photo are child and his stepdad. The image of the mirror is claimed to be the deceased father of the child. [/hide] And I believe "orb" photos are just specs of dust. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

At the OP, my belief in ghosts is a lack of rather than a dismissal. It's not like I have any knowlege of ghosts whatsoever thus my judgment of them of non existant as a statement of fact would be shallow and corrupt of any meaning.
