    I believe in ghosts, spirits, demons and "aliens". being alive can't just end with death, where do we come from b4 life if there's no afterlife just for arguments sake.

    From nothing we came to nothing we go, from presence to silence we flow

    I don't believe in ghosts but it is possible for the brain to scare itself. I was working at a local attraction and was coming up with "ghost stories" for a ghost walk we were organising. I was working in an old, grade 2 listed building which creaked and groaned in the wind or even change of temp. Often I would get there before everyone else so was all alone. When you are that immersed in ghost stories as I was and in that building, it was very easy to let your imagination run away with you. However, logically, no I don't believe in them. I also laugh over shows that go on about "orbs" and "beams of light" which can easily be explained away by camera dirt and fractions on dust etc.

    totally agree about the shows on TV they are all completely fake thats a given as are most mystics, religious nuts.
    lately we have Ghost Hunters, Most Haunted, UFO Chasers/Hunters, Big Foot Chasers, TAPS, and everyone of them never shows a lick of evidence and off the record the cast members admit most of it is just staged for ratings purposes. But don't confuse that with what you percieve as logical and what is actually possible.

    Life forming from nothing is not logical yet we all exist from an infitecimal undetectable point of existance and even science shows evidence of things that shouldn't be possible if it were a logical world..

    I believe in ghosts. If a ghost was living in my house and as long as no physical harm...I think that would be cool. I would check on the history of that house and see how and why they are still there. I would be so fascinated by that!


    After my Dad had passed. He would turn on the lights in the kitchen and turn my curling iron on. My cat and dog were not freaked out by him and his spirit as you would see in movies. I was so thankful that he was living with us and roaming around the house. lol.

    thats funny my dog that passed away 2 years ago use to freak out for no reason, he'd stare at the doorway then panic and run down to the other end of the house and wouldn't come back down you'd have to physically drag him, and during that period i was getting goosebumps alot, since he passed away i don't sense anything anymore.

    Sometimes I think theres nothing after dead. NOTHING. but then I hope its not. I dont know if I believe in ghosts or not.
    I grew up catholic and buddhistic. Buddhists do believe in afterlife and are supersticious.

    You're asking some people on a fitness forum a question that the best minds in the world are currently digging up most of the underside of Switzerland and firing things into other things in machines the size of a village to try and find out the answer to?

    We are the ghosts . After all, what we "see" is just reflected light/(energy) interpreted by the brain. :laugh:

    Yep, I believe they exist. I'd like to pass your photo on to a local paranormal group and see what they have to say about it if you don't mind.

    I have yet to see a shred of evidence that points to either a spiritual world or a god/goddess or an afterlife. I am open minded, just not willing to believe so readily that I will not look for a reasonable cause to the effect. *shrug* If someone can prove it to me and for me to see with my own eyes, I'm ready to agree with it as a fact. Until then, I remain highly sceptical.

    I've experienced paranormal activity my entire life, as has my mother. I don't have a choice whether to believe or not, because the evidence has been presented to me many many times. What I would like to know, is why some people can go through their lives without so much of a hint of any paranormal experience, and yet there are other people who experience things regularly and constantly?

    Going back to what someone said about possession and speaking strange languages...

    I had a book when I was a kid, I can't remember much about it but it was all about real life mysteries and explanations for the paranormal. Apparently, according to one of the stories, a guy under hypnosis once started reeling off a mysterious language that a language expert eventually identified as an obscure and long dead ancient language. Apparently, after investigating, it turned out his housemate or something had a book which had a passage in this language on one page, and they reckoned a single glance at the page when it was open on the table was all it would take for him to be able to recite it under hypnosis years later. Madness.

    This is why I don't believe in ghosts or any of this stuff. Our brain is capable of so many weird things.

    I have a friend who suffers from night hag syndrome. Sounds freaking TERRIFYING.

    It's same as believing in GOD.
    Atleast ghost manages to scare us. GOD can't even do that.

    And if there is an afterlife, will you even be conscious of it?

    No such thing as ghosts, or spirits, or zombies, the dead do not come back to life on any form. Once death occurs, kaput, you're dead.


    “Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”

    ― Albert Einstein

    But if there's no life, there's no energy, so there can be no transference of energy.

    And no, clowns don't apply either.

    That doesn't make any sense. Energy transfers. This is physical law.

    Explain it then, cause right now you're not making any sense to me. If there is no life, there is no energy, so how can energy transfer if there was no energy to begin with. The only way that it makes sense to me is if through decomposition then bugs turn that into energy or the body becomes compost for vegetation.

    The statement in bold is wrong. The universe had energy well before life formed. The total energy in the universe remains constant, but it changes forms, e.g. it goes to the ground & air as we decompose. Not "spirits".

    [Edited to fix typo]

    Ok, you're right, but I was talking in terms of the dead's energy passing into a spiritual ghost whatever. My statement had nothing to do with the universe, or what happens to you physically when you die. It had to do with spiritually. Which as I pointed out, nothing. Your spirit dies when you did. There is no transference of energy into some ghostly spirit..... Thing.

    I know why don't we all start listing bible quotes and references...

    DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS....

    Yes I do and have seen several.

    Even my father who was completely against anything ghost related (or anything else that is open to conjecture) before here saw an apparition of a lady walking through a wall when working in the basement of an old shop in London a few years ago.

    Spooky.

    With the popularity of ghost and possession movies, do you believe in ghosts or supernatural stuff? Have you experienced something that you can't explain? What are your experiences? Do you have pictures?

    Yes I have experienced The Supernatural experience of Redemption, Sanctified, Justification by totally unmerited Grace and that thru Faith--not of myself nor anything in this world, but is a Gift of God by His Holy Spirit and have supernaturally received Salvation from sin...I believe in, trust on, rely upon The Holy Ghost. He is my Comforter. He points me to Jesus and Teaches me all things of The Lord and Jesus shows/teaches me of The Father God. Because God is a Spirit, I worship Him in Spirit and Truth. The Pictures I have are His Word. His Word is worth a billion pictures and though I do not fully understand the mysteries of God in totality...I Seek His Face and study His Word to know Him more and more. This surely is not exactly what you were asking about--but I wanted to include my experience with The Holy Ghost and to let you know that God is no respecter of persons and will reveal Himself to anyone who humble themselves, pray, seek His Face and turn from their wicked (which means twisted) ways--whosoever will dare to call upon The Name of The Lord and Seek Him with their wholeheart--He will be found of them. God has not given us a "spirit" of fear, but of love, joy and a sound mind. {{{{Hugs}}}}
    :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:


    Check this out--These are some Words from Jesus, that talks about The Holy Ghost:

    John 14

    King James Version (KJV)

    14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
    2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
    3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
    4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

    5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

    6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
    7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

    8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

    9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

    10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
    11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
    12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
    13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
    14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

    15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

    16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

    17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
    18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
    19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
    20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
    21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

    22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

    23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
    24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
    25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

    26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

    27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
    28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

    29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

    30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

    31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
