  1. I believe in spirits/All the time


  2. I used to believe in ghosts.  Or rather, I used to believe ghost stories.  I had a keen interest in paranormal subjects growing up.  I believe just about any plausible claim should be researched and experimented on.  Nothing in the realm of the paranormal has offered any evidence that such phenomena truly exist.  If they had they would no longer be paranormal.  For that reason I am quite comfortable living under the assumption that, bar any evidence to the contrary, ghosts and other paranormal phenomena do not exist.

  3. YES look at my  question.

  4. no and no

  5. Yes, why not. It's stated in the Quran/Bible etc. They exist on different plane. Only sometimes a few of them getting lost and bump into our plane. They are harmless. God created them, like us. So why scared of them. It's better to obey God then getting scarry of the Devil or Ghost. Remember God created them and us. So if we are in GOOD term with God, surely God will protect us from all EVIL Ghost. Right?.

  6. Yes, I believe in ghosts, but have not actually SEEN any.  I have had only one paranormal experience in my life, when I was awakened in the middle of the night once years ago, in my bedroom, when something shook my bed.  It certainly got my attention, and I was really scared, but that's the only time it happened.

  7. Yes. While I do not know what ghost are many people have reported experiences and that experience is certainly real. If they are deceased people or images recorded in the atmosphere, or connections to a universal consciousness (all are ideas to explain ghost) is still undetermined. I think crisis apparitions, traditional hauntings, and seeing your deceased relatives may all have different explanations so ghost may not be a precise enough term to use in studying such experiences. The term apparition used to mean the image of a person known not be present at your location was termed as far back as 1882 in order to deal with this confusion.

    Yes, I have had some experiences that remain unexplained in terms of conventional science.

  8. I know ghosts exists. I've collected many EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) clips of them talking and making noises. I also have had many personal experiences such as:

    A couple of yrs ago I was lying in bed watching TV one night. I could see around the TV to the other side of the room. I looked over there for some reason only to find my daughter (now 12 yrs old) standing there staring at me with a blank look on her face. I looked down and back up to see her still standing there motionless. I looked away and back again and she was gone. I knew it wasn't my daughter because 1: She was real scared of the upstairs and would never come up there. 2: Every step of that stairway creaked so there was no way for her to even try to sneak up those stairs. I would've heard her at some point.

    A couple of weeks after we moved in to our current residence I saw a little girl (about 5 or 6) with a ponytail walk past the window at the bottom of the stairs.

    One night I was lying on the living room floor with all the lights out watching TV. I noticed something on the other side of the room. It was a small ball of light that moved from left to right (about 4ft off the floor). Then it turned straight downward moved a bit toward the floor and disappeared.

    One day I stepped one foot in to the bathroom to peek around the corner in the medicine cabinet. As I turned my head I saw a large drop of water fall from the ceiling. I heard it land in the bowl in the center of the tub I use for rinsing the kids' hair. There was no evidence of water on the ceiling.

    I have many times heard kids running in the hallway outside my bedroom. Every time, I think it's my 3 or 4 yr olds getting out of bed running around only to find they're sound asleep.

    A few days ago I reached for the doorknob to open the door to our exercise room. Before my hand touched the k**b it jiggled back and forth. I thought my daughter was on the other side starting to open the door. I opened it myself anyway only to find no one standing on the other side.

  9. Yes. Here's an account of an experience I had.

  10. I saw a demon a couple of times.  In dreams.

  11. I belong to a group that has recently started doing paranormal investigations within the past year.  While I have not personally seen a ghost, I do believe that they exist in various forms.  I have done some EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) work in supposed haunted locations in which you ask questions while pausing in between.  Later I have heard sounds such as voices, music, footsteps and loud bangs that could not be easily explained by those of us present at the time.  In particular I asked if anyone had died in a specific building.  Later on listening to the EVP a male voice responds "Help Me." It was definitely not the only male who was with us at the time.  I find that this only strengthens my belief in an afterlife and the paranormal.

  12. Yes, my ex and I were living in a haunted house. He kept seeing the ghost come into the bedroom and stand at the foot of the bed while I'd sense something on my side of the bed. One night, I woke up to see a tall figure standing by the side of my bed just staring at me.

    We broke up, I moved out but then the ghost took to throwing my photos across the room. My ex had 2 of my photos, in frames, and one day I was there and saw one lying on the floor face down. The ex went white and said "Not again." He said he'd seen one of the framed photos actually fly across the room like someone had thrown it and swore he hadn't put my photo on the floor.

  13. ******* is in the bible, that book is full of lies.

  14. Yes, I have had experience with ghosts and the paranormal. I have seen ghosts and is why I believe they are real. But I do not see them all the time. I got into ghost hunting and the paranormal investigation because I wanted to document ghosts. I have documented many things that I believe to be paranormal and possibly ghost, but I only know for sure it is a ghost when I see it myself.

  15. ghosts or apparitions are an imprint in time. hauntings are entities that have refused to move on. they may be unaware they are died or just those bad souls who wreak havoc on people just as they did in their earth life. i have had to many experiences to count. good and bad. bad is cold good is warm. the dead are more alive then we are. it takes an extreme amount of energy for a ghost to manifest itself., they feed on your fear and anger that is their energy. they have turned away from love so your power over them is your love. love is more powerful than anything. so remember that for next time. Jesus and arch angel Michael are great protectors and they will assist in removing this spirit.  i love ghost busting

    its a service of love. always protect yourself. (white light) around yourself like your in an egg. have fun

  16. Yes and yes. I have heard disembodied footsteps coming up the stairs (heavy foosteps at that coming up all 12 steps plus the landing). Not just me, my mom heard them at the same time I did from a different room, and my dad and uncle, who grew up in this house, heard them all the time when he and his brother were kids. When my mom and I heard them we searched the rooms upstairs, but no one was there. When my dad heard them he said he and his brother would always run out into the hall thinking it was their dad coming home, but no one was there then either. All you skeptics, try to explain that... And no, no one could've came up and then snuck back downstairs. We have an extremely noisy staircase that's impossible to be quiet on no matter where or how lightly you step. My dad does not believe in ghosts, yet he can't explain his experiences either.

    Another thing that happened to both my mom and I, we were watching tv, heard someone sit on the love seat (it squeaks and you can hear the air being pushed out of the cushion where it's split), and when we looked there was an impression as if someone was sitting there, though we couldn't see them.

    Independently, both my mom and I have heard loud, clear knocks, but when we open the door no one's there (no, it's not the house popping or pipes banging, it's the sound of actual knuckles against the door). We have also heard someone say our name, but when we go see what the other one wants, we find out that it wasn't them that called for us after all.

    So a few things have happened over the last 16 years that we haven't been able to explain. Even if someone wants to dismiss the knocks and voices as hallucinations or something, the first two incidents I described are even more difficult to explain, even to hardcore skeptics like my dad.

    I think there has been some evidence collected by so-called "ghost hunters" over the years that's really difficult to just explain away, but many scientists still don't take it seriously 'cause there's such a stigma about paranormal investigators, and they don't want to risk losing their credibility in the eyes of their collegues. That and scientific research tends to be expensive, and they're not likey to find a whole lot of sponsers to support their research on ghosts because there are so many skeptics out there who wouldn't take it seriously and wouldn't want to waste their money supporting such "nonsense."

  17. Yes to both questions. I have had visitations before by spirits, not necessarily ghost though. There is a difference.

  18. I'm not sure I believe in ghosts, but I've most definately had a paranormal expierence, was not a pleasant expierence either:

    I was 13 years old and at a friend of a friend's house and we were spending the night. The guy that lived upstairs from her was a devil worshiper, I had no idea about that prior to getting there and when I did get there it was one of those "hi, surprise my land lords a devil worshiper" kind of thing so I was really uneasy about that the rest of the night, and apparently devil worshipers like to call on their evil spirit friends (go figure!).

    We were playing hide and go seek in the pitch black and when we went to go hide after someone turned the lights off, someone turned them back on, and there was a doll with a knife tapped onto it, it didn't have it there before. Of course me trying to act like a hard-*** accused everyone and their mother of doing it to scare us, but in the back of my mind I knew I never heard the duct tape roll 'sound' if you will, so I got a lil nervous, but brushed it off.

    It was 12 maybe 1 in the morning and my friend and her friend were all gung-ho to play the qujia board and the room where they played it in, someone had died in. I never really believed in the board and even when we were playing I didn't. The 'spirit' they called on 'told' us it was evil and I still didn't believe in it...until the board started saying things about my dead little brother, none of them knew about him to be pushing it and saying those things so I got scared, but covered it up as though I was mad. We were playing for about an hour and every time we would sit in the middle of the room, a lil later we'd end up in the corner again.

    (Feng Shui-evil lies in the corners of the room, good in the center)

    I kept getting frustrated about it moving and maybe the 3rd time we had to move back I saw this horrified look on my friends face and when I turned around there was a doll behind me and I was like uhm WTF!! When we went into the room, it was empty and the doll was in the room next to us and no one moved, except to keep going back to the center. Then we asked the board what that was about, and it spelled out 'evil'. I really started getting mad, so I took my finger off, but still sat there. The next time we realized that we were in the corner I saw a shard of glass from a mirror behind my friend, I got up to look at the mirror and it was the piece that was missing. We sat down to play one more time and it spelled out 'if it wants to, it'll get you' in reference to I guess the other evil spirit in the house...? and one of the girls had slices all up and down her arms that weren't there before, but they were dried and already scabbing. I freaked out and threw the board, and ran out of the room and got nailed in the leg with an open drawer and it sliced my leg open, I assume this is what the board was reffering to 'getting me'.

    It went on to spell out '5'8"' Which was my height at the time, then continued with 'rape, 16, it'll get you if it wants to' on the board at this point I was like p**s myself terrified and made them close the portal.

    To this day I'm terrified of qujia boards, I refuse to touch one so long as I live, I get scared at people saying the word. If you're game for like kicks and a good time, go for it, just don't do it in any devil worshiping homes

  19. Firstly, I do not believe in ghosts as such. But I do know that these couple of things are a little bazzare.

    There was a house a friend of mine was living in (Melbourne, Australia) that some "strange" things happened. Don't know about paranormal, but certainly not 'normal'.

    When they first moved in (I helped them move) the house was obviously completely empty, apart from one thing. There was a crucifix (about 30cm tall) on the mantle in the lounge. Under this there was a note taped on the shelf by the previous tenet with this ominous warning - "DO NOT REMOVE THIS CRUCIFIX UNDER ANY CERCOMSTANCES". Being that we were about 17-18 we were going to move it and my friends mum screamed NOOO! So we didn't. Anyway one night we were sitting in the lounge and we heard someone whistling a tune. Upon investigation we could find no one around and there was no other source of sound (other than the telly that was on and it was not coming from there), When we returned back to the lounge and just settled into watching the telly again (the whistling had stopped) the crucifix 'jumped' off the mantle and landed in the middle of the room some 3-4mts away!

    My friends mum also 'saw' apparitions - although I didn't believe those.

    Then there was a glass light shade that also 'flew' off the ceiling and just missed my friends brother's head. The wedge shape shard (about 4-5cm) that broke off seemed to hover, then 'fly' through the air miss his head and do a 180deg turn in mid flight and land in a kitty litter box some 2mts around the corner, along the adjacent wall!

    Now I know that there are perfectly good and plausible explanations for these events, I am just writing what I saw and heard. I also in no way am saying these things were the cause of some haunting, just spooky!

    BTW we did do a search of the history of the house and found nothing unusual or gruesome in any archives.

    I have also, many many years ago been in a séance. We set it up very crudely by using a long stem wine glass and cut out letters and numbers and put them on a table. We were going along nicely when the glass tipped onto its side, and rolled – very slowly, across the table, teetered on the edge and fell onto the carpet. Now remembering that this was on carpet, you would expect that wine glass may just crack, break a little or even be not damaged at all. However it exploded, shattered into 1000’s of tiny pieces – the biggest bit we Found was no larger than a couple of mm across! Again there is some explanation for this but it did certainly scare the h**l out of us!

  20. No, and no.  Lack of evidence, I'm afraid. I'm certainly open to having a paranormal experience, but like anything else, I'll investigate it rationally and look for natural explanations first. If I find at least one, then it's no longer a paranormal experience. That's the problem.

  21. Ghost are nothing more then evil angels impersonating humans that have died.  Evil angels are those 1/3 of the angels that were cast out of heaven when Lucifer caused war in heaven.  

    The Bible says that the dead know not anything.  And that all their thoughts cease when they die.  That they have nothing under the sun once they have died.

    It is all in the Bible.

  22. I believe in ghosts fully though to my knowledge I have never seen one..The closest I came was sitting alone in a room in an old mansion on the grounds where I work..feeling like someone was in the room with me so strong I started to talk to them...But no one jumped out at me and nothing flew at my head so I didn't pay it to much attention...That does not mean I don't believe that ghosts exist.

  23. Yes I belive in ghost but I have never seen one before. But untill somone can prove to me that they don't exist I have to belive they do exist.

  24. Yes, and Yes.

    Blessed be
