Question

Can people really make contact with the other side or do they just play mind game?

Answer 1

I wouldn't have thought this question should be in the Environment section but since it is......

The answer to your question depends a lot on who you speak to. Some people, even rational intelligent people, swear that you can, others are equally sure that you can't.

It must be said that most spiritualistic manifestations, even the really convincing ones, do not stand up to close scrutiny but there are a number of academic institutions with departments aimed at paranormal investigations and perhaps one of them will produce some proof of its validity one day..

Personally I do not believe in the afterlife or in paranormal goings on but it is impossible to actually prove a negative, all you can do is produce more and more circumstantial evidence so proving that I am right is not going to be easy.

Answer 2

I'll ask Elvis and get back to you

Answer 3

Your grandpa said yes i think his name is Phil or starts with an F or PH . Am i correct ? I keep seeing a dollar bill may be bill but hes filling a glass of water so i take it that its Phil

Answer 4

Is that really an environment question? It seems to be to belong in the alternative science or religion sections.

Answer 5

Hi!

What has the spirit world, got to do with 'conservation'??

Oh, you mean what the ancient Egyptians did, embalming etc, before going to the afterlife?

lol.

But, in answer to your question:

I dont believe in an afterlife, that would mean that we do not die completely.

We do die, like any living creature, we are no different!

Why should we have some 'soul' that carries on after death!?

Just an old way of thinking, from along time ago, that needs to be kept in the past!

Anyone, who claims to be able to 'contact the other side' is just using it to make money or is deluded!!

Answer 6

Yes, depends on the connection.  Some times it comes as a dream, sometimes as a feeling.

Answer 7

I do not think anybody can contact the other side as all phone ins are banned.

Answer 8

What ? the other side of the street or folks that have passed from this mortal coil ?

I jest. I have a word with my Dad every day, although I saw him to rest some years ago.

I will think "what do you you reckon on this, Dad ?"

Somehow he goes that's fine, son, of on other occasions he will go "don't be so daft".

It is all in my mind, of course, just thinking about how he would of handled it. So yes, it is all a mind game.

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

i think its a question of personal beliefs and as long as it does no harm everyone is entitled to their own...

Answer 11

Green ghosts?  Well, you'll get some strange answers from this group, but what the hey.

I think most people that claim to be able to reach the "other side" are just con artists.  But  anythings possible.  Why should everything be completely straightforward just because that's easier to assimilate?
