Parapsychology

[Chrree]

I love everything that is paranormal in any way so I thought I start a thread about it. For those who don't know what that means, it's everything that is supernatural like ghosts, aliens psychic powers and all that.

First I want to know if you believe in such things and why do/don't you believe in that? Oh and please tell me if you believe in UFO's.

[Heckboy88]

I believe in extraterrestrial life. I just don't picture them as evil green men with antennas
Ghosts? No.
Psychic powers? Just a tiny bit.

[Chrree]

Ya I believe in them too and I really doubt that they are small and green either. I do think that they are grey and have big black eyes though. Maybe the are retalted to insects?

yah same here

i love paranormal stuffs.. its actually very interesting..

something else that i love.. is the Bermuda triangle.. i live in it lol.. some people think its a lie.. but when you get in it, your compass gets crazy.. and you feel dizzy.. etc.

[Holguin86]

I believe everything can be explained by science ...

Is that boring?

[Astrosimi]

Is that boring?

No, my friend. Not at all.

That is wisdom!

My beliefs? Aliens are out there. Will we ever see them? Most likely not.

Telepathy is possible. Psychic powers are a bit more of a stretch.

[monstahr]

The universe so go******** huge that there's other life out there for sure, but I doubt whatever it is would be remotely humanoid. Might even be just bacteria, I dunno.

[Littlebigdude805]

Aliens im almost sure are out there, will i myself ever see them? not unless they come to me, or we advance extremely fast. As for phychic powers, I think theres a strange connection between most living beings intelligent or not, I myself can make most animals flip a lid or calm down on will, how? i have no idea but i can as for using mind power to move stuff, mmmmno, producing enough energy to shock or burn stuff, i wouldn't be surprised if its true, still a little skeptical, telepathy, like clearly sending messages between minds, is hard to believe in. Ghosts? idk.

[Chrree]

@Joey
I guess that must be because of electromagnetic fields. They have influence on compasses and even have influence on humans senses.

@Holguin86
Of course not because I also believe in that. There are many cases with aliens and UFO's you can't deny though. A whole town that sees the UFO's which get chased by jets or UFO's seen by the military. I would never say that there are no UFO's for sure.

When it comes to ghosts it's much more unrealistic but there are some things like EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) which you can't explane.

According to science psychic powers could be possible since we only use a small part of our brains and there is the theory that we could do some crazy stuff if we could use the full capacity.

Either that or WE are like bacteria compared to them...
Neve thought about that now did ya?

Anywho, do i belive in aliens, yes of course, i've even seen them!
You mean those people from other countries, right?

No but seriously, i do believe and have seen my fair share of "alleged" UFO's personally.

Psychic abilities?
Absolutely, psychic abilities and ghost/ spirits are strongly connected.
(Tho i don't believe a word those phony "psychics" you can hire say)

And ghosts?
I'd be crazy to deny them as i've been seeing/ hearing them for a long time now.
At nights i've heard the ghosts walking around at least once in any house i've lived in before, and i know its not someone else as the steps seem to have no problem passing from one room to another even tho doors are closed...
One even grabbed my shoulder once.

[OneEyedBanshee]

Alien life as far as I'm concerned is 100% guaranteed to exist in some form or another. I mean, milky way has 100 billion stars.. that's a lot of opportunities in our own galaxy let alone the hundreds of billions of galaxies out there. I don't think they are likely to be humanoid. We are the only life on earth that aspires to go into space, that could be something unique to us as a species. I think we will find aliens before they find us if we are ever to make contact so to speak. But there is so many chances we will go extinct by the time we are advanced enough to do such things. Maybe that is why no aliens are coming to us, extinction is a huge part of life with 99.9% of all life that ever existed on Earth long gone.

Psychics I don't believe in. I don't understand what some do exactly but I believe there is an explanation. There's nothing divine about it in my opinion. Humans are bound to have things in common these people can use to their advantage. There is systems they ask some questions, then that leads onto others etc. Plus it's usually quite general, then generals can lead to more specific.

Mind power like telekinesis and whatnot is just no. Not possible, no other creatures possess anything remotely close to powers like spewing fireballs etc so why humans would exclusively have these I do not know. We all come from a common ancestor so surely other species would have similar traits. It's just something from out of our imaginations like dragons and other mythical beings, life is just a tad boring some times and we think up these fantasies that have been turned into stories and they are such a hit because who wouldn't want something extraordinary like that in everyday life? Our minds enjoy being captivated and we are like moths to a flame.

I am of the belief we live, we die and then that is it. Blank, emptiness, in fact not even emptiness just nothing. We get recycled and the process repeats. It is pretty tragic, to think this is the fate of everything we know, the universe will fade to black and all life in it will perish some day then it will repeat again. Fun times!

I have witnessed "supernatural" things. But I believe there is an explanation for everything, it's in the mind in my opinion.

[CyberSora]

I'll believe anything... so as long there is enough evidence to support it.

@Silverleon
I also had some expiereince with "ghosts" already. One night I went to bad and faced the wall. After a few minutes I heard someone slowing walking towards my bed on the carped though no one opend the door. Then the person stopped at my and seemed to stare at me. I was too afraid to turn around so I starred at the wall and waited what happend. After a minute or two I slowly turned around but there wasn't anyone. I immediately turned the light on the other side of my room and looked around but I was the only one wake and when I asked my family in the morning they said that it wasn't them. It couldn't be a dream because at that time it always took me an hour or more to fall asleep and it happend within a few minutes.

nah... its not only that.. lots of weird stuffs that cant be explained

[Silverleon]

@Silverleon
I also had some expiereince with "ghosts..
(shortening for lack of space).

O_O

That's pretty ,uch what happened to me!
Only that the steps went back and forth a couple of times around the house first (oddly enough it seemed to randomly speed up and slow down from time to time), and the house didn't have carpet so the steps sounded like bones...

First time it was just the walking, 2nd time was "it" stopping nest to my bed for a bit then grabbing my shoulder... (that creeeped me out more than anything has ever ) i couldn't turn aound as it kept its (what i think is) hand on my shoulder and ended up falling asleep like that (or fainting, not sure ) Next morning, no one heard anything or knew anything about it...

Btw, do you happen to remember the day of this "apparition"?
(Monday, tuesday, wednesday, etc)

[Chrree]

Well that sounds even more scary! Unfortunately I don't remember the day it happend, why? Do you?

The same thing happend to my cousin. He told me after I told him what happend to me. According to him and my grandparents there are many of these phenomenons in our family.

Another story of mine is that I tried to do EVPrecordings myself. I changed the batteries of my recorder and tried a while. Since I didn't record anything unusuall the next room I tried was my brothers room where never anything unusuall used to happen. His tv, stereo and anything else always worked without any problems but when I tried to record in his room my recorder wouldn't work. I thought the batteries were empty already so I changed them again. I tried again but it didn't work but when I tried it outside his room the recorder always worked normaly again. I tried again but it still wouldn't work. I wanted to show my brother that I'm not lying so we both went to his room and just when I started to record his lamp started to flicker though it was turned off!! We got so scared we ran out of the room and told our mother. After that I stopped trying and nothing unusuall happend in his room ever again.

Now that I'm mentioning such things anyone else experienced such things him-/herself?

[OneEyedBanshee]

I heard a scream once. It was the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to me. I was lying in bed on a school night minding my own business. It seemed too hot though, I just couldn't sleep. My window was wide open to let cold air in and it was also right next to my bed. I slept in a top bunk so the window was literally a few feet from my head, everything outside I could hear. It was a weeknight about 1-3am, can't be sure. So it was pretty quiet out with everyone sleeping and whatnot. But I live in a suburban area so noises of things in the distance are always present. Then gradually I started to hear this whistling. It wasn't scary but it stood out. The whistler just kept whistling over and over the same tone. It was high pitched but not too high, they sounded far away with a reverberating sound to it, I imagined in a field about 5 mins walk away. There was no wind so it was very clear. This whistling seemed to go on forever, time is hard to measure but I'd have thought about 10 mins. It was at this point I thought or said out loud, I cannot remember which, "Shut the fff up!". I am not joking, instantly I heard a scream(not sure if whistling stopped instantly but I don't remember it after). But this didn't sound far away, it sounded like it was in my garden! Believe me with the window wide open the volume seemed insanely loud. I got the vibe it was in my neighbors garden though, don't know why. It, as far as I'm concerned it had no gender, sounded like a monster. I am still given chills to this day by the thought of it. I couldn't sleep after it that night. And for days after I was completely paranoid and couldn't sleep either, it was truly TERRIFYING. It screamed twice by the way. Both times it sounded in pain and really demonic. It's voice as I say didn't seem to have a gender. It sounded male and female, it's voice was really high pitched and really low pitched. Plus a whole lot more pitches in between but none were harmonious, it was painful on the ears. Like the effect in horror movies where a female voice is played and a male one at the same time to give this possessed demonic sound. But it was so much worse than anything a movie has even produced. Top that with the WAY it screamed. Oh my god it was horrible. It started out low like a groan, like, huuuuu... it might look funny typed but this is how it screamed.. huuuurrrAAAAAHHHHHHHUUuooooo or something along these lines. It sounded like it had a speech impediment almost. I have never heard anything like it before or after. I hate seeing things on paranormal shows like ooh there was a knock. It was so quiet etc, this thing I heard was undeniable, it was so loud, so in your face vomit inducing and disgusting there is no "oh what was it" innocently. It is a case of what the hell was THAT thing, that monster freaky mess that will cause nightmares. I wanted so bad to close the window but I couldn't bring myself to pull back the curtain and possibly see what made the noise. My heart rate rocketed and I couldn't move I was so scared. Still can't really explain it to this day and I hope I never hear such a thing again. I have heard several weirdnesses over the years but that one tops the chart for fear factor.

[Silverleon]

@Chree
Yes i clearly remember the day and time it happened the times it did.
It was at exactly midnight on Tuesday (technically wednesdays) i know because there was i show i watched called "Otro Rollo" which was shown on Tuesday and ended at midnight.
This phenimena occured like a minute right after i turned off the Tv those days, bby then al else was off as well. I could clearly hear the steps.

Oh **** today is wednesday isn't it...?
Oh well, at least its past midnight...
Long story short i never turn off the T.v. right after midnight anymore if everything else is off already (I leave a timer or something)

@OneEyedBanshee
I am aware that spirits REALLY dislike cursing and supposedly may drive them away, that or simply make the spirit freak.
I believe yours might be the later.

Perhaps it was just a wandeering spirit, and you saying it to f-off made it freak?
Thus the screaming.

Well, all this talk of spirits after midnight is giving me the creeps, so i'll be back tomorrow (or later today, whatever,)

[Ungreth•]

It is irrational to believe that something exists, until it has been proven to exist

It is equally irrational to discount the possibility that something might exist until it has been proven that it can't exist

So I keep an open mind. It's the only rational outlook.

However, I'm also aware that people love to tell elaborate stories of their experiences with ghosts, ufo's, etc. to gain a little attention for themselves and to give others the impression that their banal, mundane lives are full of mystery and excitement.

Ahem...

[Silverleon]

Ironically a simple sience logic can make it easier to believe.

Its possible/ existant; You just have to know its possible in any way, whenever, wherever.
Its impossible/ non existant: You have to kno everything that's alway happening, alway happened and always will happend everywhere and anywhere.

In other words, there's an eternity to prove somthing's possible/ exists, but you'd have to know everything in the entire universe to fully disclose anything as non-existent or possible.
