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.

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'

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.

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

COINCIDENCE!?...probably.

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.

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

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.

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.
