Weird Paranormal things, well, maybe not paranormal but...?

Question

Well maybe there not paranormal, but those games were weird stuff happen to you. Like Catscratch, how do you get the scratches. And the things you do on there backs that give them goosebumps or make them feel like their falling. The palm games were you pretend your pulling a string from their palm and they feel it. Okay, i want to know more of these games, and if anyone knows how you get the catscratch tell me!!!

Answer 1

One, power of suggestion as far as the string, and most "paranormal" activities.

Two. As far as the scratches are concerned, I believe we do in our sleep. I notice far more scratches when I forget to take my watch off before bed.

Answer 2

I'm not sure I understand the question...and what part I do understand makes me wonder why you'd want to be 'cat scratched' anyway.

Answer 3

What is "Catscratch"?

Answer 4

Cat Scratch is a game where kids sit in a dark room and chant "Cat Scratches" over and over again. When the light comes on, they supposedly have scratched on thier arms.

I am pretty sure this game is just a dare type game, like "Bloody Mary". Its just meant to make others scared and freak out. Maybe the leader of the group inflicts some scratches on him/herself, thus giving the illusion that some ghost or spirit had visited them in the dark.

The other games, where you feel a spiderweb on your skin, or blood flowing down your head are primarily based on a mixture of suggestion, and touching the person in a way that gives them just enough reason to believe you.

Answer 5

Power of the mind and suggestion.

Answer 6

The mind is a powerful tool when you learn to use it.  We had a recent psychic group meeting and did the  lift a person with your index finger trick.  Of course we picket the lightest one in the group to lift.  It seems impossible at first, then you say some magic words, everyone closes there eyes and try again and it works like magic.

It's just the power of lifting about 10 or 15 pounds with one hand.  But your mind thinks you can't do it so you can't.  Not every thing is paranormal or magic that looks like it on the surface.  David Copperfield can't really make a 747 go away, he just makes you think he can.  The hole trick is to control the line of sight of the audience.  

These games have been around forever,  it's just knowing how peoples minds work.  Just enjoy the fun, you can learn a lot about yourself and others.  Most important, take control of your life and don't get played.
