Eeps, a ghost!

[richpoepaap]

 

I believe that ghosts also all live on this worlds, and some of them need to contact into the "living" world

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If they need contact, why don't they just call? I'd be willing to talk with a ghost, I mean come on, its not every day that a ghost calls you and just wants to talk... A ghost friend would be cool, you could throw something at him and it would go right though.... I could have a lot of fun throwing stuff at a ghost. :XD: :XD: :XD: \ :-s =P~

 

 

 

The ghosts wouldn't. That's why they stay away from people :XD:

[Flyingkami00]

Ah I have another story. My father told me this one about the house he grew up in. I'm sure he's told me this story more times than I can imagine :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before his parents moved into their house and old lady lived there. She died of natural causes (no murder or anything). So his parents moved in and as he grew up there, the old lady's ghost still lived there. She would open and close doors at random. And she wouldn't just open doors that could be pushed open, she would open doors that you had to turn the handle. My father said you could be walking down the hall and a door behind you would open/close or you could leave your door closed and come back a short time later and it would have opened (without any people going near it). I don't know how true the story is, but I thought it was interesting when he told me about it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This happens in my house too, but it is not the old lady. When the wind blows in through windows and open doors, especially in the summer when it is hot and you have no a/c the wind pressure closes and opens doors all the time. At night at my house you need to close the and put weights against them to keep them from moving around!

Who Ya Gonna Call ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lol. sorry. couldn't resisit. I actually have always had a great interest in the paranormal, supernatural. Whatever ya wanna call it. It's all really very curious and peculiar stuff that is just awesome. Doesn't really frighten me, but I'm sure in the right circumstanes....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ya know. such as being the only person in a "haunted" movie theatre at 5 AM.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I BELIEVE IN GHOSTS!!!

[Satenza]

Maybe the movies come alive when you're not looking :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, i don't know about ghosts too much really. Wether it' some form of energy or something i beyond me at this moment.

[Evilperson]

Its not that I really believe in ghosts, i just have an over-active imagination. Just reading these posts are freaking me out :oops: .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The scariest thing I would have ever experienced related to this is when i was young, 10 i would say, i was home alone while my brother my mom and my dad were out to dinner or something. It was late at night and i was sitting in the living room watching Tv. The front porch and steps to the front door lead to the door that was 5 feet away from my chair. You can always hear when people are walking up the stone steps and onto the wood deck. I heard footsteps walk up the steps and onto the deck. I knew i wasnt making this up because my cats ran to the door. When my parents didnt walk through the door i got really freaked out.

[Mementh]

Sounds like a lame excuse to me...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Think about how many charities could benefit from that money? The mediums/psychics/whatever don't need to keep it for themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahh but who needs to have wins at the lottery when you can help a good person who has alot of money.. or alot of people who have a bit of extra money to give.. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The issue is lotteries and such.. they give money to those who can't handle it.. and spend it quickly and not using it wisely

[Mercifull]

You will not ever find a person to convince me that ghosts are real and people speak to the dead. I personally believe that those people that claim that are either incredibly delusional and need serious medical psychiatric care or are knowingly committing fraud.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People like Derek Akorah in the UK and John Edwards have been repeatedly caught out faking things, making things up or research beforehand about an area. but no matter how many times these people are exposed they still have their loyal fans who back them up. The TV companies get away with it by having a tiny disclaimer in itsy bitsy writing about the show being for "entertainment"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The people that do this to general members of the public rather than on TV are also very nasty people, they give false hope to families who may have a missing child or family member in very ill health.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My challenge to people like fgfuyfyuiuy0's aunt, phone psychics or television mediums is to put up or shut up. Prove what you are doing is real or stop doing what you are doing. One million dollars tax free dollars to give to whoever you want for something as simple as telling Randi whats in his deposit box. Its an easy task for someone with the skills they claim.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have not read any evidence in any of these posts which suggest paranormal activities are at work and I belive that they can all be explained. The suction cup object for example. I have a TomTom GPS thing with a suction cup on it. Most of the time its stick really tightly to the window but occasioanlly it showly becomes unstuck but the sheer shinyness of the rubber keeps it in place and then with the slightest touch it falls off. This is what i belive is happening to the eagle you speak of, the vibrations of a heavy object falling could easily be enough to dislodge a suction cup.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It makes me sad that more and more people are beliving this trash and being exploited :(

I don't know about being exploited, they are just stories. But if it's the likes of John Edwards you are talking about, then yes, people (due to thier inherent stupidity) are likely to put all of thier faith and trust in people like him.

[Mercifull]

Its not just TV people, its ALL mediums I believe are fradulent.

I will have to agree with you there. . . But i mean its the same thing when you talk about religion. You can't prove it, but people say they are touched by God or whatever. So i think its the same thing. People have their beliefs, youre not going to be able to change them, and to be honest, most of them are quite ridiculous. You just have to live with it and accept the fact that some people need excuses on things they cannot understand. In this case religion and ghosts.

[Mercifull]

This is different to religion because if true it can very easily be proved. Simply find out accurate and precise information on a dead relative based on a completely random person that the medium has never met before with the person answering only "yes" or "no"

[malo2]

what he meant is that the way people believe in mediums is same as people who believe in god, except mediums are far more convincing.

[Mercifull]

I actually find it easier to understand how someone can believe in a creator of life than someone can believe that people can communicate with the dead though mediums.

[Ash6110]

agh creepy. Personally I dont believe in Haunts or Poltergiests but I do believe in Apparitions

@ Mercifull

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While it's true there are SOME charlatins and fake psychics, doesn't mean that everyone claiming to have psychic experiences are lying or delusional.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's good to be skeptical, but thats different than trying to prove EVERYTHING scientifically. It simply cannot be done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And one other thing...

 

 

 

My challenge to people like fgfuyfyuiuy0's aunt, phone psychics or television mediums is to put up or shut up. Prove what you are doing is real or stop doing what you are doing

 

 

 

What kind of proof are you after from these people?

 

 

 

Hiring professional ghost hunters or a scientist costs money. The truth is most people don't have the time nor desire to prove to you anything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's like debating whether or not there is a god...

 

 

 

Would you be willing to prove to someone why there aren't ghosts or spirits?

[sprites]

I'd just like to add one more thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've had a personal encounter with a spirit. This happened when I was young, about 7 or 8 years old.

 

 

 

It was at night and I had just gone to sleep, when I was woken up by a voice calling my name. It sounded a lot like my dad's voice, only when I turned around he wasn't there.

 

 

 

I was starting to feel afraid, as I could still hear the voice even though I couldn't determine where it was coming from.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I sat up and looked in front of me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I could see two figures at the foot of my bed. I remember their appearance very clearly. They had decayed looking faces with long hair, and wore white robes. They glowed white, very faintly but just enough to reflect off of the furniture in my room.

 

 

 

Their faces were expressionless, with very little meat left on at all, almost skeletal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The one figure begins to speak. Saying my name again, and asking me to come with them.

 

 

 

I felt like running, but I gained control of myself..

 

 

 

I asked them who they were, and what they wanted with me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No answer. Just stared at me like they didn't understand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I still thought I was dreaming.. So I tried to wake myself up, pinching my arm...

 

 

 

Don't ask me why, but I felt a little relieved it wasn't a dream... I was afraid, but it felt special to have actually seen and communicated with a ghost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I decided this was enough time to stay here, so I ducked under the covers of my bed and planned to run out of the room.

 

 

 

Then I sprinted down the hall and into my parents room. But while at the doorway I took one last look at the two ghosts.

 

 

 

Thats the end of my story.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that experience I could never sleep the same again. Even now I get paranoid that someone is watching me from my bed. Its taken a long time for me to be able to tell this to another person.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can dismiss it as a case of lucid dreaming, or sleep walking... But I am convinced of what I saw.

[Mercifull]

I used to see things when I was little too. Figures and imaginary friends. Its natural to belive that when you are a young child. Its nothing to do with ghosts or spirits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"The truth is most people don't have the time nor desire to prove to you anything." I dont belive that one iota. I belive the lack of desire for proof stems from the fact they know there is none.

Your story sounds interesting/weird.. maybe it was friends of yours.. (prior life) who are helping guide you.. (those that are on the other side have access to move non linear and can help us as guides)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am not sure what they wanted or how.. but i am glad you know :) i wish i could have a corporal spirit to visit me

[justin_m23]

well obviously ghosts are real, i mean use your head people! if ghosts werent real then the ghost busters would be out of business, duh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:-w

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the moment i dont beleive there are ghosts, but who knows? Ghosts could be a part of a whole other world we havent discovered yet. I mean, who would of beleived there was things like Uranus beyond earth?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Im sorry, im too immature not to include the planet Uranus lol)

[cheese666me]

:shock: i havent read all the thread but i wanna post my story : it will seem like having nuffin 2 do with ghosts at first but then it will:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was in my prom party at my school, most of the students have already heard the story that the school was built in the place where there was a graveyard before. It was 9:30 P.M., a group of students (including me) decided 2 go to elementary (well idk if u no wut it is, cuz thats how we call it here, its a place where students from 1th to 6th grade study). We were trying 2 get in there 4 about an hour but we couldnt bcuz there were 2 guardians that wouldnt let us get in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was 10:30 or sumthin lyk that. We finally were in elementary, there was where the first ghostly sign happened, i was in the second floor with 2 more friends, sum lockers began 2 make noises (whic was really strange bcuz there was only 3 ppl there, me n my 2 friends, n the place was a closed area so wind couldnt do that). We just went away from there. A little bit later we went 2 the kindergardten area cuz one of us found a door that wasnt closed, we were about 10 ppl, after we left there one of us was missed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was 11:30. the whole prom decided 2 go 2 elementary there was when most of us get scared. Only thing i remember i saw was that there was 1 computer that turned on and off n there was no1 inside that room, the snacks shops light was close but we could c than the lights turned on and off (mayb ghosts like turning on and off stuff :XD: ). thats all i remember, i didnt saw the rest of the things that happened but i heard em, one of em is that there was a ghost inside of a classroom, im getting scaried while writing this cuz i can remember it, n it was really spooky. Last thing i remember is sumthing that made every1 scream (well, almost every1 bcuz sum of us were sitted in a bench near there) while sum ppl was investigating suddenly a door shutted so fast that i n my friends could hear it from the bench, that ppl who saw it went away from elementary screaming n running like mad ppl. :ohnoes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just left n went bak 2 highschool 2 c if there was sum food left but there wasnt any :cry:.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I no its not as interesting as other stories but I just wanted 2 share this story with sum1 else :

[Bomba_Boy]

I am neither scared or affected by Ghosts. Yes i partly scared, but it is only natural. I have had many ocassions. Coming in from school, and my bedroom light not working, next day it works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other: I was kissing my girlfriend, we were at a friends house, he lives close to a church. And we looked out of the window after we heard a siren, we could both see some white material (or ectoplasm) it looked around at us (Or what we thought was a face) and we freaked, jumping own on the floor. Shutting the curtains.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was always told that dogs could see ghosts, so i was round my friends sleeping. We were playing games and stuff, when the dog jumped at the door, scratching, we opened the door and felt a cold air go through us (Note; it was a very hot day and it was almost too warm to go outside) we all looked at each other. When we all dismissed this as it was just a gush of wind.

[Mercifull]

Coming in from school, and my bedroom light not working, next day it works.

Mine does that in my room at my parents house. Ive got one of those pull cord switches that goes to the ceiling. Sometimes if you pull it fast it turns on/off but doesn't click into place properly. So next time you pull it nothing happens and you gotta pull it just right to click back into place and the light works as normal again. Nothing ghostly going on there and a similar thing could be affecting you be-it a pull cord or a regular switch light.

I got out of the shower the other day and I couldn't believe it... I SAW LENIN!! It made me join the communist party right away!...

Well no... Its called pareidolia, and its the same thing when you think you see faces in curtain, jesus in a sandwich or mary on a paint stain under a road bridge.

My sisters friends dog goes wild at high pitched noises. When I have my x box on the dog just runs around the living room in circles. I guess it makes a specific sound that humans cant hear that's enough to make the doggy go a little crazy :D

 

 

 

I don't know what the proper name is but its the same technique to make dog whistles work. The same high pitches noises can be gains by air coming into the house via a window that hasn't been properly shut.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for cold wind coming into your house on a hot day, that's cause by air pressure and warm air being different to cold air. I cant really explain it i'm not a meteorologist but its nothing spooky that's for sure.
