Re: Paranormal Activity

There is a lot of evidence that supports residual energy.

I think you're lying, and I cite the well-established known types of energy and the lack of a scientific uproar at the discovery of a new form to contest your phsyically laughable claims about something I (who studies energy for his profession) have never heard of.

Refute me, please.

Re: Paranormal Activity

This doesn't seem promising, but it's better than no explination at all:

A residual haunting is a playback of a past event. The apparitions involved are not spirits, they are "recordings" of the event. I believe that this will be the first type of haunting that main stream researchers will recognize and study. There are numerous theories on how these residual hauntings come to be. The main one will be discussed here.

Video and audio tapes capture sounds and images on a film of special material that has been oxidized or rusted. Certain building materials, such as slate used in older castles and stone structures and iron nails used in many older buildings, have properties similar to that of the tapes. When a traumatic event occurs or a time of heightened emotions, these materials record the event for future playback. Everything is made up of energy and energy cannot be destroyed. The materials store the energy created by these traumatic events and plays them back at a later time. We are not sure what causes the playback of the events, that still remains a mystery. Is it the right weather conditions, the witness's energy or sensitivity or some type of energy release?

Residual energy imprint hauntings are often called 'residual energy hauntings' or 'imprints'--which are the products of an emotional incident, often a violent event.

Just like an iron remains hot long after it's turned off, strong energy seems to be stored in physical surroundings. When someone witnesses this kind of haunting and is startled or frightened by it, that energy may refuel the setting so that the manifestations and/or impressions continue.

This may also account for the phenomena of haunted objects.

Re: Paranormal Activity

It's a useful enough description of what it purports to -be- but there's nothing in there that passes for evidence.

Re: Paranormal Activity

So, they claim that there's this strange form of energy that's undetectable by all of our means, but is intelligent enough to organize itself into some form by some function that even believers of this energy can't even begin to explain?

What you're describing is not energy; it's magic.

Re: Paranormal Activity

I'm not describing anything (they are), but that does make sense in some form, since magic can be produced by incantation.

No one can really explain this to the point in which it would be legitimate because it's simply not. I think it is something that has to be personally experienced, if that is even possible.

I think that's another one of those "Some evidence please" kinds of statements.

How is personal experience any sort of legitimate? There's a reason why it's the lowest form of scientific evidence, completely disregarded by anyone who's doing a test.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said, describing the legitimacy of this residual energy phenomenon, "it's simply not."

And neither is magic.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Well, I'm kind of trying to look outside the box on this one, and nothing that I'm saying has any evidence that I am currently aware of, but I'm throwing out some ideas that came to mind while reading through the posts in this thread.

Is it possible that "ghost sightings" are literally created by our own minds? I'm not talking in an abstract and illusionary form, but I'm talking concrete. As in, somehow creating a shadow that can play a piano? I believe in spirits, demons and angels, and I guess it depends on how you define each one that matters, but I'm trying to stay unbiased here. There really is no evidence to prove the existence of spirits as a whole, whether it be angel, demon, ghost or anything like that. But, is it so improbably that we are gods that can create a concrete form to do our bidding in some way? Just a thought

And the whole "residual energy" thing, could make sense, while at the same time, if you don't believe in the paranormal or supernatural in the first place then it's a load of crap. Mainly, it's like a Grudge (the movie) theory. If someone dies with a strong emotion of any kind then that energy will remain in that place on earth. Basically exactly like a record.

However, if you're looking for a scientific explanation then just about anything supporting ghosts that you read in here or just about anywhere will make you want to rip your hair out and say "Ok, where's the proof, the evidence, the logic?!" but...if you feel like exploring the possibilities of the human mind or parrallel dimensions then it's a very fascinating topic. (Very tired, if any of this didn't make sense or jumped around ask questions and I'll clarify)

Re: Paranormal Activity

VERY interesting theory. I don't think most people can do something like that, but I DO believe that, should there be some kind of entity that has less than friendly intentions, a person's actions(Depending on what they are) can cause it to follow him/her.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Wow. I didn't realize so many people would be allowed to explain their non-critical thinking and naive, baseless, anecdotal, non-scientific theories in the critical thinking forum.

Excuse me while I go search for my intelligence; I think it ran away from this thread.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Is it really your intelligence, or the residual leftover intelligence from previous intelligent people in the thread?

Re: Paranormal Activity

im up on this stuff n i noe what it is...this has nothing 2 do with ghosts bcuz its rlly frustated adolescent channeling blocked energies into psychokineses!!! the adolescent creates a poltergeist phenomena by mind power without being aware of it sometimes!! sometimes it has 2 do with love..-.-...lol rlly

Ahahahahaha. Golden.

If you were "up on this stuff" you probably would have come across the fact that psychokinesis doesn't exist.

Now, you may have something with the "stressed mind plays tricks on itself" angle, but something tells me that that isn't the direction you were going.

Re: Paranormal Activity

i believe that to get an accurate and firm view on paranormal activity you would actually have to experience something that might be describes as paranormal...when people say their house is haunted, people look at them like they are completely out of their mind. i think you would actually have to live through it to know what they think and see their view on the paranormal activities.
