Do you believe in the paranormal?

Question

I've had only 2 experiences. Both when I was a kid. They were kinda strange. One of them scared the living p**s out of me. I haven't had anything like that happen again since I was about 12 years old. Anybody have anything to say about this? Lol, I'm just curious here. Also, who all thinks it's all a load of c**p? Speak your peace.

Answer 1

No.

There are many claims of this type of phenomena, but never verified.   It's always more likely that it is an illusion or a hoax.

BTW, just because something can't be immediately explained doesn't mean it's paranormal.  This is the fallacy of the "argument from ignorance" - "I can't explain this, so it must be caused by some supernatural, or paranormal powers."  Do you see why it is a mistake to assume this?

Answer 2

well yes I believe in all of that and stuff, I believe in all of it.

Answer 3

There are more things in this world that can't be explained than you realize.  We know more about the stars than we do the earth.  Can you nonbelievers tell me why animals thought to be extincted for millions of years are showing up, such as the coelacanth?  That was believed to be extincted for 60 million years, but they found many live specimens off the coast of S.E. Africa.  So why can't ghost exist?  They may be multidimensional beings.  Or they may just be lost spirits looking for a way to get to where they are supposed to be.

Nobody can really be sure if ghosts do exist.  I believe they do,  I have had too many experiences with them to not believe.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Yes.

Answer 6

Yes, I believe.

Many people had experiences when they were younger but not any since.

My opinion on that is that your life happened as in you got preoccupied with other things and therefor dismissed the others as imagination and such.

Then again I'll say that it may have been your imagination.

We do not know the story or situation in which the occurrences happened.

Answer 7

I think it would be ignorant for anyone to negate the fact that there are numerous paranormal phenomenon that cant be explained. There are many people that I know who have had such experiences and they believe that something happened to them or they saw something not of our human world... I think that we need to be open minded esp when dealing with this topic. curious to know your experiences!

Answer 8

I think it's a load of c**p, thank you for asking.

Oooooh my thumbs are tingling, I must be foretelling all the downward pointing digits I will be receiving.

:D
