Wings of Fire 07-14-2010 05:16 PM

I met a Ghost in December 2007, she was a bitch so I got my own back by clumsily flirting with her.

She's still a bitch.

PuddiinLOL :] 07-14-2010 05:17 PM

I like to run people over with Ghosts, I prefer the Chopper though.

Sekto Springs 07-14-2010 06:52 PM

I've had more than a few paranormal experiences.
I believe in ghosts. I've seen enough to think they exist.
I also hate that whole "If you believe in ghosts, that mean you believe in god" bullshit. There's absolutely no connection between the two other than a very broad notion of "life after death".

One of the best explanations I've heard is that certain environmental conditions are capable of "recording" moments in time. This is backed up by environmental consistencies in active areas, such as a high concentration of quartz in the rock. When the conditions are right again, the moment replays. Science at the moment hasn't been able to explain how this works. Many ignorant skeptics believe that if science can't explain it now, then it will never be explained. Because we all know science totally isn't a progressive practice, right?

As far as intelligent or interactive hauntings where apparitions move and behave independently, there's no particular theory I subscribe to. I do believe it's happened though.

I used to be a big fan of the tv show Ghost Hunters, but it's changed so much over the years and I've lost my taste for it. I do believe that the first few seasons were legit, for the most part. Now that it's become this syndicated series with a huge fanbase and several spin-offs, whatever sliver of genuineness it once had has now vanished.

Erm... 'Science' hasn't been able to explain how this works simply because Science says that it simply doesn't work. No explanation needed.

Science also states that most claims of paranormal or supernatural activity can easily be explained with reference to the fields of Psychology and Human Biology. I would suggest you read this Wikipedia article and its references, in particular #22 'The Ghost in the Machine'

Sekto Springs 07-14-2010 08:11 PM

The second link crashed my computer. Ghosts are clearly responsible.

I know all about the contribution of human psychology to paranormal. I once had to write a lengthy thesis on it actually, complete with power-point. Ugh. Despite the reasonable rationalizations of the paranormal, I feel it's far too broad a topic to be entirely debunked. I may be biased based on my own experiences as well, which I've had a time picking apart and rationalizing only to find I was unable to come to a logical conclusion.

I'm kind of embarrassed about it too, because I'm usually all for dashing the hopes and dreams of the happy spiritualists with my cold, sciencey logic. But this is just one of those things.

MarsMudoken 07-14-2010 09:21 PM

The night my grandfather died, I saw something funny in the corner of my eye a couple hours later.

COINCIDENCE!?...probably.

Sekto Springs 07-14-2010 09:27 PM

It was probably just a clown.

Daxter King 07-14-2010 09:33 PM

I believe in ghosts.

Yeah.

Strike Witch 07-14-2010 10:36 PM

I've seen a few. But I don't have evidence, so nobody would believe me, except my mother who saw the same things at the same time.

*shrug*

Nemo 07-14-2010 10:49 PM

Ghosts are stupid and never let me live down Psionics.

I too was in the company of others when I had my experiences. They now deny anything ever happened. Conspiracy I say.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-15-2010 01:26 AM

i think ghost hunters and all that is bullshit, its totally fake, isnt it funny how they NEVER CATCH ANYTHING ON CAMERA, yeah its all fake, but i do believe in ghosts.

how they NEVER CATCH ANYTHING ON CAMERA

What if the ghosts were ninjas?

Bullet Magnet 07-15-2010 02:25 AM

I've got to call the whole "crystals in rocks recording and emitting holographic films of events that occured near them" theory bullshit. At the very least, you should expect the odd "plastic bag caught by wind" ghost now and then if it were true.

Thanks for reminding me, that thread was classic.

Although that time you dropped pizza topping on your dick and only noticed when you were masturbating takes the fucking cake man.

shaman 07-15-2010 02:43 AM

My sister (whose been practicing far longer than i have) and I were going to cleanse my attic since it was bothering our family.
When we went up there to evaluate the problem, two shadows were apparent on one side of the attic.
I sheilded immediately (just incase), and we isolated them.
Thinking that was it, we called out any dark entities.
There were more than we thought.
On the other side of the room, one jumped out at me and knocked me backwards.
But with proper sheilding I wasn't harmed at all, and the problem is taken care of.



But no, in all seriousness, i've seen weird shit.

MeechMunchie 07-15-2010 02:59 AM

I belive in the possiblility. I've seen freaky shit but I doubt my own reliability.

OANST 07-15-2010 06:17 AM

I misunderstood what this thread was going to be about. I thought it was about Ghost's vagina.

I am similarly disappointed.

It's tighter then Bullet Magnet's logic, bro

OANST 07-15-2010 07:33 AM

I'm not responding to that because there is no response possible that won't make me feel creepy.

Bullet Magnet 07-15-2010 07:37 AM

Hey, you weren't the one compared to the quality of the vagina of a girl you haven't met.

Wings of Fire 07-15-2010 07:37 AM

It's dustier than a library and as erroneous as a wikipedia entry!

Bullet Magnet 07-15-2010 07:39 AM

Now we're talking.

PuddiinLOL :] 07-15-2010 08:32 AM

Close this thread .. its to spooky :/

Josh 07-15-2010 08:34 AM

Who is Spooky and why did you change your mind about giving it to him?

Actually they've caught quite a few things on camera that have caused alot of controversy. But yes, the majority of what they present at the end of the episode is audio.

Sounds like you and your sister have a very... close relationship.

Bullet Magnet 07-15-2010 01:05 PM

Ghost shows are bullshit. If they didn't record anything (which they are not going to) then the show is going to go down. It is the easiest thing in the world to manipulate a bit of audio and then add subtitles that approximate the noises.


OANST 07-15-2010 01:21 PM

That song is about Ghost's vagina? That shit must be awesome.

Mac Sirloin 07-15-2010 02:43 PM

I guess I believe in ghosts. I've seen Shadow People inconsistently for the last four or five years, and there was the weird huge gray blob I used to see in the dining room doorway once in awhile. And the weird Trenton Shadow Bulldog thing. It's been a long-ass time since I've seen anything significant, and I'm content to just pass it off at this point. I don't like admitting these things because they make me sound like one of those guys.

Sekto Springs 07-15-2010 06:55 PM

Joe's got so many polyps it looks like a congregation of tiny bald men.

What does poy-NO, WAIT, I KNOW HOW THIS WORKS!

(google's)

Ewwwwww.

MarsMudoken 07-15-2010 07:32 PM
