To the active paranormal investigators?

Question

How much 'physical' evidence do you need to accumulate to come to the conclusion that there is an afterlife?

Answer 1

Each person is different.

Some draw conclusions to "sensing" things, like mediums.

Others believe that orbs and white fog are proof.

Some investigators and enthusiasts have been physically touched, or maybe have heard muffled undistinguished conversations.

After all the things I have seen, heard, and felt, I feel there is an afterlife.

Whether or not it's the Pearly Gated community Christians believe is real is up for speculation.

Maybe when we die it's like that movie Groundhog Day. Where it just keeps repeating itself until we get it right.

Answer 2

Bronx has mentioned the investigators dream.

However I believed in an afterlife long before I started any investigations. I had many personal experience's that couldn't be explained.

If you  are asking about investigating a perspective haunting then I am looking for voices captured, pictures/video of unexplained human like shadows, or something that appears to be human but isn't, along with personal experiences that coincide with the captured audio and video.

Answer 3

I'm not an investigator - but if I did investigations I would be skeptical of any claim in order to be able to pick up on anything that could be explained.

Physical would mean a piece of a ghost to a scientist, there is no way to collect real physical evidence. Catching the residual effects of a haunting or poltergeist is about the best you can do.

These are things the investigator should get on his or her own.

1. Clear recording on an audio tape or digital voice recording. Sounds of banging and footsteps and audible voice a plus.

2. Video recording of an apparition or shadow, in full body wearing period clothes. Objects moving on their own caught on video

3. Similar pictures of said apparition on digital or film.

4. Repetition - this is most critical - the spirit must be able to manifest without coaxing and as reported by the claimaint.

Answer 4

How about a clear picture?

Answer 5

I have a lifetime of "physical" evidence myself.

I believe there is "life after death" on many levels.  The experiences that I have witnessed & others around me have witnessed as well is monumental.

Really for most, they will have to have had the experiences themselves many times over before they will believe it.  You can only write something off so many times, before there are no excuses or plausible actions to prove otherwise.

There are NO web searches that will really be able to answer this question.

Answer 6

Well to come to a conclusion based on physical evidence for an afterlife, in other words to consider it proven I would think I would have to have a spirit / ghost / deceased person schedule an interview and we could both appear live on the talk show circuit before he/she offered their self for scientific scrutiny. However, despite all my efforts and patience I have not yet had a single ghost keep an appointment with me. Of course if a ghost is not matter or a known energy I'm not sure this would be physical evidence as instruments may fail to measure what scientist see before their eyes and can communicate with in a clear manner.

All that said the best evidence so far in my opinion is from the research that I have listed below.

Answer 7

I'm not an investigator. ..but I think they need to "hear" spirits and have what they say verified. Without the verifications..I never would have believed it. Although I guess it could have been someone sending messages to me..but they wouldn't have been able to see what was going on around me...well..unless they were astral traveling. If that was the case..somebody sure spent a lot of time in the air! lol

Answer 8

If you've ever had an encounter with any thing or any one,positive hopefully .....your spirit  will verify how much physical evidence you;ll need....nobody ever  talks about the good side of the paranormal!everyone forgets about the ones who save, comfort, and watch over......think about which experience you'd like to start with?Blessed be.....

Answer 9

As much as you can get.. from pics to evps.. b/c the more you have the harder it is to say.. maybe.
