Do you believe in ghosts or the parnormal?

[tbombz]

I still wanna hear stories from people that NEVER believed and then all of a sudden do!


Stark tell us what happened! The suspense is killing me!

i never believed in anything supernatural, or God, until just this past spring.

It hit me about 4 days after reading Rene Descartes' Meditations on First philosophy.

 

my story on the page before is one of several types of experiences ive had, that was the only one with some kind of "contact". all of them occured after my coming to believe.

 do you know what made me believe in the supernatural (God) ? it wasnt an experience of anything supernatural at all...   it was logic  

[tbombz]

Getbig is full of juvenile pathetically minded morons, so belief in ghosts and/or a god should not surprise anyone.

some of science's biggest discoveries were known by philosophers A Priori long before any scientist ever observed them.

There is no empirical evidence to suggest that ghosts or any other paranormal phenomena exist.

[ToxicAvenger]

I had an incident a while back that nearly changed my mind, I still believe that I cannot fully believe in ghosts due to me being a rational person.

Wonder how you guys feel

im  a person who holds objectivity and logic in very high regard.,......but i do believe there are some phenomena in the world outside the bounds of traditional scientific method

very interesting....does God have to exist for wierd/creepy stuff to exist..or are they independent of one another...or maybe the wierd stuff doesnot  really exist either

For some reason I have a vision you pottering around the garden, feeding chrysanthemums with an eyedropper while wearing bifocals.

Several years ago, while driving home from work, I saw a grand opening of a supermarket in town with plenty of business going on. I passed it by and didn't think much about it. Just before I arrived back to my house to park the car, I heard a weird noise and saw bright light. It was kinda like a wooooshing noise - woooossh. It came quick and left. Didn't think much about that either.  Anyway, my girlfriend was going to do some food shopping and I told her to try the new supermarket that opened up. She told me that it wasn't open yet. I told her it was. She was adamant that it wasn't even near being completed. I told her I just drove by it and there were people and cars parked.  So we took a ride over there and sure enough the entire complex was still under construction! The grand opening wouldn't arrive for another 8 weeks! WTF? I must of accidentally slipped into some kind of time warp or something. I couldn't believe it.  After arguing with her for an hour, she finally told me (to paraphrase) to go copulate with myself and to get the long overdue medication that I need.

both happend when I either woke up or didn't sleep I am not too sure.

One I have a witness which is my ex, we went to a place in scotland and I woke up in the middle of the night and had an incredible feeling of being completely alone, the feeling is extremely hard to describe I still get chills when i think about it.
It was like I was completely empty, just really really empty no soul or what ever you want to call that, it was just an icy very cold lone feeling.
I sat up in my bed and I woke up my ex - she said there was something wrong with my face like I was real real scared, I said only one sentence which was (and I cannot remember that) there is no love in this world - and thats the feeling I had.
I know you guys will laugh and call me a pussy but I never had that feeling again and if I would have it on a regular basis I probably kill myself thats how strong it was.
Later we found out at the B$B breakfast they were joking that the house was haunted so I'm wondering if that had anything to do with it.

Second was I was in my ex parents house real old farmer house - her parents had no money so the hoiuse was a little run down.
I lie in my bed and I remember I wake up and I see somebody sitting at the end of my ex bed - and shes talking to that person - I couldn't move and I had a bad feeling like I have a huge lump in my throat and I cannot swallow it down.
I couldn't figure out if it was her mom or anybody else sitting there, at the end the what ever it was got up and made kind of a gesture like you do with your head when you say yes and kinda went away not in the movies like disapeared its hard to discribe.
In the morning i was asking everybody if they talked to her at night and everybody was real spooked lol especially my ex since she cannot remember talking to anybody but she said she had crazy dreams but couldn't remember them.
But again i am sure I had a wake dream maybe.

Its called sleep paralysis, responsible for all waking weird feelings/hallucinations also same thing that makes idiots think they are being abducted by ufos.

Absolutely.  I believe in it.  but we're not gonna understand it though.

Scary shit LOL

I'm sure that there are. However, stuff like psychics, astrology and ghosts is total bullshit, IMO. That doesn't mean that weird stuff isn't out there that science can't explain. But I don't believe in quacks like Sylvia Brown, etc.

sevastase is an expert in this field, where is he when you need him?

Pure nonsense to me this day and age.  I wish i could believe in them, but as a rational person who is pretty educated, how can you believe in such things. 

There were times when i was young where i wanted nothing more to see some level of spiritual activity, in hopes that that also means there is a god, but never went anywhere.

I have...HAVE...as a teen and early 20something yr old, gone to cemeteries with friends to play Ouija board.  Gone to most haunted (sopposedly REAL haunted) houses in Galveston and Houston at one time or another and stayed in the "sopposed" haunted rooms.  Gone to Gettysburg at night time (one of the most haunted places in the US), and other random ass things in the attempts to find some real sign....just a damn sign...of the paranormal and never got a damn thing. 

I now find it all silly, but as a young adult, sure was curious and wanted so much to believe in them.

How come nobody ever sees Insect Ghosts since insects die by the billions daily.  In fact, given the sheer amount of death across all species of life that has ever lived, one would be bumping into Ghosts left and right (that is if they really existed).

People on this site are as dumb as the people all around you on a daily basis.  The majority of people are incredibly gullible and are what I call a proud stupid.

Yep, I agree.   Just dont see how a society can ...not just believe but easily believe in Ghosts and things like The Bible  with out the slightest hesitation, while on other normal topics, are very intelligent .   Just dont get it.

Wow..really gives you a clear breakdown of the nuts on this board
