The origin of paranormal beings: Opinions?

Question

No one knows for sure, of course (well maybe someone, but theyre not talking).

Ive always liked with the idea that they have alot to do with forms of energy. I know that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted. Perhaps a risudual entity is just trapped energy controlled by some unknown environmental force, such as magnetic hotspots, or perhaps because a large amount of electomagnetic energy in the form of thought/emotion was poured into a place, ghosts are often associated with tragedies.

Ive also read that on the smallest level of an atom, the particles seem to blink in and out of existence, much less solid than once thought. So maybe when contact is made with an entity, its during a "blink" of that bieng, and during this the energy of it is able to transcend spacetime into other periods of time and space.

Perhaps on some level of reality, creatures have mastered this into a controllable ability, traveling back and forth, and we see demons..

Your thoughts?

Answer 1

The origin of paranormal beings is the human imagination.  That's all.

Answer 2

I don't believe in demons or spirits. I think any paranormal beings are remnants from something once living here on this earth, and demons are considered to be evil beings that were never human.  This is irrational to me, as it the idea of h**l, a place for all bad people to go.  It seems to me, the idea of h**l was created to keep people in line, as some people don't have the moral compasses to be good be for the sake of being good people. I believe paranormal beings are either the remnants of the energy of memories, or every once in a while their a blip in time and we see something that occurred in the past.  This seems to make sense for people seeing things like stage coaches and such.  However, some paranormal beings seem to want to communicate.  They have intelligence.  These I believe are the energy of people who have past on.  I don't know how, or if these "people" can stay on this plain, or go back and forth, or why they came back, or if anyone can do this, or if everyone who has ever died is still here on this plain with us... it's interesting to think about. there are so many stories of people who have just died communicating with their loved ones who are unaware that they are already dead.  I used to live in a... for lack of a better term.. "haunted house."  Lots of odd things would happen.. banging, figures captured in the windows on camera, doors locking and unlocking, people's names being called, music boxes playing.. lots of odd things.  That's when I became interested in the subject.  New England Ghost Files is a really interesting account of happenings in the New England area. I have read my copy a million times.   anyway... good luck with your answers! boo! :)

Answer 3

You said no one knows, but I do.  It comes from human imagination, like all that stuff you wrote.  The phenomena at work here are fear, superstition, ignorance, and undisciplined observation and analysis.  There is also the tendency of many people to lie and fabricate, and some are compulsive about it.  I've known a couple, personally.

Answer 4

I think of them as three categories...the beings who were never in human form, the beings who were once human, and the being who were animals or other types of creatures. For some of the beings they were once human and depending on what happened during their lives or how they died(like you mentioned) it maybe caused the way they would become after they died...some maybe trapped on earth because other revengeful spirits wont let them leave, where others are confused and think they still need to be on earth...and others were disturbed and awaken. WHere as the beings who are not from earth take forms in demons, negative energy and all those horrible things we never want to see. They might have originated from a human being or they came through a portal that someonw had created or opened...it's complex and most people think it's all c**p...but I believe that paranormal being originated from mostly two places...earth...or something beyond our earth.

Answer 5

nah if it was happning on a scale like that which your segesting. then quantum physisists would have picked it up. at least thats what i reckon

Answer 6

Since mankind has been on earth(20 million years) There have been paranormal activities. Ie: The haunted cave.

Answer 7

First one would have to define paranormal being. Do you mean what people experiences as ghost? Do you mean aliens? Do you mean spirits? Do you mean demons?

Do you think all of them have one explanation because they all fall under the huge umbrella of paranormal?

As early as the 1880's the Society for Psychical Research dropped the term ghost as not be precise enough and studied apparitions (defines as seeing a visual image of a person known not to be physically present at that location and excluding all known explanations (like a photograph).

This of course then included apparitions of the living as well as the deceased.

Thus, one has to first carefully define what paranormal being (or experience of a paranormal being) one is attempting to study.

However, thank God that Einstein and all the current theoretical physicist did not and do not pay any attention to the psuedoskeptics and wait until there was overwhelming evidence to start speculating and formulating theories to test. Superstring theory (still speculative) has made major contributions to physics by testing small parts of their theory even when the experimental results did not support the theory. I for one am thankful that some scientist are dedicated to actually advancing science.

To relate more specifically to parapsychology and the study of the supernatural. Investigations into these phenomena (not psuedoskeptics that would say don't investigate superstitions) has resulted in far better understanding of sleep paralysis and hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations. It has also allowed us to understand some of how people interpret these experiences through cultural biases.

I support your question and I starred it but I think it needs refinement before it can discussed in a meaningful scientific way.

Answer 8

Honestly until something has been established as existing, its completely pointless to even speculate about its mechanisms or origins.

These paranormal beings have not only not been proven to exist, but most cases of encountering them can be attributed to hysteria, imagination, sleeping disorders, or other things natural in origin.

So what your really asking is a scientific explanation for something that is most likely non-existant. The explanation doesn't exist.

Answer 9

if you read back to some of my earlier questions from November and December, this topic of ghosts on a physics level has been discussed. Some skeptics with science background actually chose to give legitimate  answers some did not. But yes, the theories of waves and multiple realities/universes has been the subject of much discussion. The topic of past,present,and future existing at the same time is plausible under Quantum Physics. There are so many things that we as questioning beings have not even begun to scratch the surface as to what lurks in the background of our world of reality. Its not alway what you see but rather what your not seeing that holds the answers.

edit: to wushboy, the big bang has not been proven either, but science touts it and teaches it like it has been proven, so I guess the big bang is paranormal?

Answer 10

Wanna experience paranormal?

Perriwinkle inn, Cape may, room 8!!!!

Or Jackson St ghost tour,

Answer 11

My thoughts:

One should first establish something exists before one should wonder how such a thing came to be.

You seem to have a semi-understanding of the physical world.  You appear to be presupposing paranormal beings exist and are making an effort to find ways to justify their existence.  You are using your apparently limited understaing of physics to do this, rather than allowing a firm understanding of physics inform your opinion of paranormal beings.  For example, your interpretation of the mass/energy equation is lacking.  When a creature dies there is no residual cloud of energy where that creature once existed.  The metabolism that creates the heat and minor electricity in the body ceases.  The physical mass then decays and releases heat.

Thoughts and emotions are not energy independent of the person who is experiencing them.  People don't transmit energy.

Demons are a cultural invention.  They are the boogey man representing the unknown or they who will harm you if you don't adhere to religious rules.

Answer 12

not sure

Answer 13

paranormal is a Greek word(PARANORMIA) have moor than one mining it Apple's for the Haman action of thinking,has nothing to do with energy ,only for mental ability to act to Wat we coll normal.

Answer 14

At last a sensible hypothesis!

Yes I belive that some demons are thought-forms created out of superstitious belief, that once formed, take on their own personalities - sort of 'I think therefore I am' idea.

I also pick up on a lot of residual information and hauntings of places, and this does tend to be more graphic when pain is involved (recently saw a surgeon operating on a mans abdomen while he was restrained -no aneasthetic in the 1850's, but also saw a lot of basic and bloody dentistry in the same place - which is a quiet bookshop and cafe now)

The behaivoir of sub-atomic particles seeming to exist in two places at once - literally phasing in and out in ossilating vibration is an amazing discovery- as we have these particles in our own brains - so where exactly are the corresponding particles?

I have also been experimenting with the action of Anions and cations. Formed from high voltages - and some people, sea-spray, waterfalls and other areas wher ghosts are frequently seen. It also explains cold spots, hot spots, thick air, levitation, moving objects and poltergeist activity. -  Would love to discuss this further with you.

Answer 15

I must remind you,there is no reason to believe in"paranormal beings".Unless you can show some evidence they exist.Your question is unanswerable.Then again, that's never stopped anyone yet.
