Paranormal Activity

Re: Paranormal Activity

Sorry, by open I meant open to the belief of ghosts, not open mined. I should have rephrased as to wanting to believe in ghosts, though.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Well, if you -want- to believe something (It's a ghost) (it's a trick of the light) then that is almost certainly what you'll believe. The human mind is fun like that, you have to make an effort to run around opening doors and windows, or they all just shut on you.

Re: Paranormal Activity

It's not about the sightings, but I WANT to believe in it, because I would like to think when we die our souls will live on, otherwise it would just make me miserable to say when you die, that's it, gone, kaput, worm food.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Woudln't it be generally better to want to think your soul goes on somewhere that -isn't- tromping around hallways in the dark scaring people? *grin*

Re: Paranormal Activity

If there is an afterlife, then it would make sense for there to be a heaven, or something like it. If everyone who has died just stayed on Earth, there would be a heckuva lot more "Ghost Sightings" as it were.

Re: Paranormal Activity

I know that not everything I have seen is a ghost or what not. Those times when I freaked myself out enough and made myself see something or when I dream about it are very different from actual experiences. My religion has nothing to do with the fact that I have seen ghosts. I started seeing things when I was young but that doesn't matter I still see them. Things happened to my whole family in our last house but I was the only one that actually saw it. No matter how many times I try to tell myself its not real or just a trick I know it's not. I always try to say ok did I make myself see it, was it a shadow but sometimes you just can't explain it. When we lived in our old house for a few years it got so bad that I felt like I was going crazy so trust me I don't want to believe but when you have had a real expierence you will know it. Also if you are so close minded that you refuse to believe that they might exist then even if you see one you will explain it away to keep yourself from realizing you were wrong for so long.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Im not going to say I believe in ghosts, because I don't, but what I do believe in is residual(sp?) energy. Think of it as a broken record. What happens is a person leaves behind there residual energy most of the time perfoming a simple task, or saying something. Long after the person dies the residual energy would than "play" whatever was happening when it was imprinted on that area. Eventually it would fade away. Theres been plenty of cases to support it too.

So what im getting at is, if ghosts do exist, most of the time its probably something like residual energy, because I refuse to believe that a ghost or any kind of apparition has any will of its own, and can act of its accord.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Then how do you think a person's "Residual energy" can say or do anything at all?

[Darkjakk]

Re: Paranormal Activity

Did you even read what I said? Its like a broken record, it repeats whatever the person might have been doing or saying at that time.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Hahahahaha, I'd like to see this "evidence" for "residual energy".

Physically, that's a ridiculous explanation.

Re: Paranormal Activity

My theory involving parallel universes has even -less- evidence and still seems to me to be more logical than a replay of previous events.

[Manmademusic]

Re: Paranormal Activity

Indeed. It was a good theory, but there's even less evidence for that then there is for the whole "Paranormal" thing.

Re: Paranormal Activity

"The Paranormal Thing" isn't a theory, a Paranormal occurance is simply any occurance that defies logical scientific explanation. The real objection to paranormal phenomena is to say "There's no such thing, because -everything- has a reasonable scientific exlanation if we look hard enough"

Re: Paranormal Activity

There is a lot of evidence that supports residual energy.
