So im wondering, How many dakkanauts believe in the paranormal? Ghosts, Poltergeists, demons and such?
I myself do, I finding all so fascinating.

Go watch Supernatural

What he said. It's a really Awesome show.

I don't.

I don't.

I believe in spirits to a certain degree.

Main belief comes from an old friends class picture, where you could clearly spot a shade of a person, that she claims absolutely wasn't present at the time.
(The school itself was an old prison camp, occupied by the Nazi's during WWII. And deaths did occur there during that time.)

I don't. I am open to the possibility of life forms developing parallel to the ones on earth, but I have zero reason to believe there are any at this time.

As for the rest of the supernatural, all I have to say is just because you can't explain it with a scientifically sound reason doesn't mean that it's actually dead people floating around you. And I say this having seen "ghosts" myself. Mine were (as I found out later) hallucinations based upon sleep deprivation.

I don't.

I am a belieber.

Ghosts? Nah, JB fulfils the spiritual side of my life.

Yeah. That's understandable. But in my case, I saw these "maybe-hallucinations" in a picture. And so did my friend.

I believe in spirits and have photographic proof.

I don't always believe in ghosts, but when I do I have clear photographic proof.

If ghosts aren't real what were the ghostbusters up to?

Do you think they just used it as a front for robbery? Explains the beige station wagon.

Maybe they invented ghosts.

Makes sense.

I believe in paranormal things TBH. Ive seen/heard things before that just didnt make any sense where it came from. But, I also know that most of what is reported is either misunderstanding the world around you, or made up. But there is that small bit that really doesnt make sense.

Like how headphone wires always get tangled up in a drawer?

More like keys in a pocket. You have the keys in your hand, and they are fine. You place them in a pocket and magically they are a knotted feth ball that you cannot imagine how to untangle METAL KEYS

I would say its clear yo have haunted jeans. Were your jeans involved in any murders and/or Historic events?

Nope, I am yet to see a single piece of evidence for paranormal beings. I would like to see some as it would be interesting, but don't think evidence will ever exist, because the things themselves don't.

I don't know what to say TBH. I haven't had any encounters myself, although I know some people who claim they did. I have read a couple of those "Ghost encouter" books that are quite interesting, some encounters in particular can be pretty hard to merely dismiss as a hallucination, especially those that happen regularly over a period of time. There's also some "ghosts" documented as actively communicating with observers. But I can't say for certain either way if I genuinely "believe" or not.

Also to the headphone/keys thing - too damn true!

I believe that things like ghosts and demons are real... in the sense that they exist in your neural pathways.

I once stayed with my wife in the Mermaid Inn in Rye, which dates back to 1420 (was rebuilt then!) and took a picture of the room.

When developed, there was a distinct ghost type of thing in the picture.

Of course it might have been a fault in development but I like to thing it was a ghost.

I don;t really believe in ghosts, monsters, UFOs, and othe rsuch stuff.... but I really like to pretend; because it is more fun to believe in them!

I sure do. In fact I've actually been able to develop several unique means for studying them. I try to keep it on the down low of course, some folks aren't happy with that stuff getting around. I've got a couple of my old modified cameras lying around we call them "Spook Cams" just to be cute about it I guess. I'd be willing to sell you one or two of them if you like, as I've got newer ones now and those are just lying around. Ghosts are more common than you'd think really, just point and shoot in any random direction and you should get a good one after couple of nights.

If you're interested send me a PM, we should be able to work out a price. It's usually a few hundered bucks, but these ones are a tiny bit beat up.

How empty coat hangers will reproduce in your closet when no one watches!

How USBs will re-orient themselves so that you get it wrong the first two times you try to plug into your computer!

This still haunts me to this day.

I don't understand why we don't design plugs to be circular in nature with each lead being a concentric metal circle within the outer shielding of the plug itself. The entire thing could then be magnetized and recess only slightly into the jack.

I believe that it is probable that life exists elsewhere in our universe, but I find it incredibly unlikely that we'll ever meet anything like ourselves - if the evolutionary timeline of Earth is anything to go by.

Its bull

Are ghost real?

Is Rick Ross the Bawse?
