FabSwingers.com forum: Do you believe in ghosts?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I am watching something on Netflix called 28 days haunted and there are people staying at supposed haunted locations and they are using methods to supposedly detect spirits and the like. It’s quite interesting but some of it seems like smoke and mirrors.

So do you believe in ghosts and demonology?

Do you think spirits exist and visit “psychics”

What are your thoughts/ experiences?

Have you been haunted?

I do believe in ghosts, definitely, there was a very spooky happening the night my husband died.

I do not believe in the ghostly happening in TV programs though. That's all set up for sure.

Definitely, in my old flat I saw my white earphones move by themselves amongst other spooky things going on at the time which I shall not mention. I’m a very spiritual person and believe in God, good and evil and the after life.

No. Never have.

A little story, i spent 15 years doing night shifts in a hospital operating theatre that was built on a victorian workhouse.

Hundreds if not thousands of violent deaths must have occurred during its history. Never saw so much as a shadow out of place let alone the wrestless dead.

I'm a huge believer, having had many personal experiences over the years.

Having said that, a lot of so-called "factual" TV shows are made for entertainment purposes only, and should be taken with a pinch of salt.

I watch so many of these, and really enjoy them...but I weigh each story up accordingly to a number of different factors.

Yes, more or less.

My dad grew up in a place that he described as haunted, both my uncle and grandmother agree with him the place was not right and spooky, unexplainable things would happen. Not just to my family, but occupants that have lived there since them have encountered similar things too.

One particular case involved a woman falling down the stairs and breaking her back, she said outright she felt she was pushed (so the story goes anyway)

It was a very old building, they found priest/monk holes hidden there.

I've been there once in my life when I was about 11.

Go to Rannoch Moor near Inverness or the poppy fields in France and tell me you feel nothing. The energies we are capable of sensing as human beings represent less than 1% of the electromagnetic spectrum. Slimer isn't real but you should maintain an open mind.

You see what you think you see. If you believe it hard enough. Makes me laugh when people see a horror movie and then go home or they're at home and then all of a sudden your house is haunted. It wasn't before the movie.

If ghosts were real then they would be everywhere. Not just haunted houses. I've slept in some scary places and never seen or heard a ghost. Camped in the middle of forests in Germany by the NSA spy station. Camped in the forest right next to Auschwitz, if I didn't see a ghost there then there's no such thing. Slept in abandoned houses in the middle of nowhere. I've heard noises but probably animals.

Ghosts do not exist! Just think about life and the world logically. Forget religion as that's the main reason why people believe in such nonsense and just think about it lol. It's like actually believing the earth is flat it's just madness!

No God, no ghosts, the earth isn't flat and the queen wasn't a lizard.

Yes and no, I’ve had one or two experiences where I can’t explain it rationally, however, I’m not ringing Yvette Fielding, nor would I.

All the years and technology yet there is still minuscule evidence of a spirit world/ghosts.

Loads of so called mediums have been caught out, Derek Akora and physic sally spring to mind.

Belief in the existence of ghosts is symptomatic of a sub-type of mental illness called schizotypism: it is on the schizophrenia continuum.

Believers will have odd cognitive perceptions; this can normally be cured with specific medication.

People with this mental illness may believe in ghosts but not all people who believe in ghosts are mentally ill. Surely you can't be suggesting that?

I do had a view weird things happen. Was in a rented house and previous owner had died in the house. My dog use to get up and with his head follow something down the stairs and then he would go back to sleep. I use to go cycling in a country park and on one road I always felt that there was a ghostly horse drawn carriage coming down the road at speed. Lots more encounters

I don’t know whether ghosts or spirits do exist, as I believe many can be explained away as fakery or science. However, I live in a 200 year old cottage for the last 20 years and every now again, I’ve experienced strange occurrences.

The most recent was a couple of weeks ago, whilst I was watching tv in the front room. On the floor in front of the tv, I saw my cat’s plastic 3-way tunnel move, making a sound in the process. It was like someone had stepped or knocked into it, when walking pass. It couldn’t have been a draft, as it moved away from the corner towards the door and window. The cat had been resting on the settee. He also saw and heard it, causing him to watch it for several minutes. We were the only living things in the room.

Perhaps it was some electrical charge from the tv or sky box that cause it to move. For the fact the cat heard and saw it too, shows that I wasn’t hallucinating.

Are 'ghosts' some kind of energy left behind like in a battery type of thing. I have NO idea but there is a possibility.

No Psychics and Mediums are sadly a scam. I've even 'outed' one live at a village fete which caused a massive rumpus LOL

One observation I will make...

As technology improves and we all carry a mini TV station with us with pretty good cameras and mics on board I find it VERY curious that despite more people having a camera on hand 'sightings' of ghosts have dwindled. Same as Alien Abductions. They have dwindled too.

Funny that eh?

You are correct in believing physic Sally is a fake medium. I actually went to one of her shows, it was laughable. She saw about 4 different spirit children running in the aisle. Also she had a message that I believe was aimed at me, giving details of my pond of Kio fish and my grandad Wally. He had been dead for 40ish years though, so it was bullshit he would try to connect with me. I did not get up for the message, it was also being filmed for her videos. Someone else stood up and said the message was for them. Sally was quite snotty when I got her to sign my ticket.

I since learned that they look up the people who have bought tickets on Facebook and get the info from there.

Ah here lad ,you've been watching too much Marvel

Maybe not .

Helen Sharman.. Britain's first astronaut..speaking about parallel universes.. stated " we could have unknown entities standing right beside us but never know it" .

Multiverse/parallel universes could explain things like time-slip sights..ghosts..etc .people could swear they've seen them and genuinely could have if a door was momentarily open in a parellel universe...

The incidents I find intriguing are when small children age 4 or 5 can state the history of a building they have just walked passed for the first time.. .,for example "this bank used to be a hospital for soldiers Mummy "

sure it is all anecdotal from the parents but with thousands of children throughout the decades able to report things... it's intriguing

I like this topic .

I have seen things that I don’t know if is real or was effect of things I was taking .

Black shadows human shapes going around and around a tree . Children size . But I was on effects could be me making it up . I saw it tho .

I don’t know . Maybe to much fairy tales or culture and u brain produces projections . And u believe yourself .

Another one I saw a black shadow jumping into a car to grab a lift .

Is an old local rumour of the ghosts who jump in cars to grab a lift back home from the beach

Was sun set , after a long party night then night before .

I probably made tray one up . As u have the story stuck in your head . I do t know . I saw it .

Others

I saw and I wasn’t alone . My daughter mother saw it too . . I try justify with reasonable physics and chemical reaction for such happening n I can’t get it right . Heat , gas trapped , a air draft wouldn’t do that and wasn’t one . I don’t know .

The kids ball red rubber ball in lounge spinning around and around on itself with out losing the g force .

Like if u touch a ball a bit melon the move fade . This one

Wasn’t fading like a spiral . Was on circle constinuosly with same energy n speed . On n on n on . I stopped it myself saying :

Right is getting a bit much now .

Other event . I heard fase 1 . Then I heard and saw fase 2 as I opened the kitchen sliding door

The same thing happen twice .

Exactly same noise .

Dinning room was full of stuff n kids toys as we just moved in

And the same ball again .

Falling down in perfect vertical line losing energy every time touched the floor . Like a normal move .

But was a perfect line like was hanging from ceiling and someone dropped it

Not a curved line like rolling form top of unit or so .

And done it twice . I just thought if is what I think it is bless him . And I didn’t freak out . Just not much I can do .

We moved out , and in new houses we went there was more little strange things happening again

I stop taking notice and carry on .

I just thought: you know what ? I not even care if is who I think it is or anyone else or isn’t at all

Is what it is . Fuck it . So I got used to it … eventuallyevents stop happening or I totally stop taking noticed .

Coicidence about this events . Kids dad suicide Months ago before that .

Made think could be him .

Since then I try to imagine how could it be ?

According to our realm existence anything alive needs power , energy to remain alive .

Water , food , fuel of any type , digesting bacteria or sun light anything ….

If a ghost would exist , a frequency with out body vessel to contain it .

How would this freekuency feed and support itself to stand ?

How would he feed ?

If the body is dead , if the engine doesn’t produce any more energy , how does the spirit who was in a brain before can support and practice astral projection after body death ?

How ? Nothing can project with out consuming .

What could he be consuming ? Human energies of the broken heart of the ones who loved him ?

I can’t figure out .

Does the brain store micro electro impulses after death allowing projections ?

I don’t astral projection a couple of times

And it is like U are a ghost .

But even there’s a magnetic field that justifies the projection

How

Could that freekuency have phisical contact with objects and lift them and move them ?

Like a Jedi who levitates other things ?

Seems a lot of energy to be used . And I don’t see it happening out of a little pulse floating around in the air .

So I don’t know .

I have seen things . Tho I can’t find a way to make it real .

Or a logic to make it possible to believe

Even I saw n heard .

Happy halloween

Is true tho . Is all true x x

Other dimensions exist.

I jumped from one to the other . And I brought figures into our realm . From dream realm to our awakes

Realm.

Yes is all a dream even part is well awake and open eyes eating n drinking .

But I done it . There’s loads of dimensions yes .

You cross a wall like a ghost in a dream

On the other side of the wall is another dimension

Or floor . Or ceiling .

I’m one room is a bowling saloon u cross the wall and u in a medieval castle dudgeon .

Medieval n bowling doesn’t go together

Unless is all just production of imagination

I have been there tho . And if is just imagination

Wow . My Brian could build an universe .

I wouldn’t believe it would be the house being hunted. House doesn’t produce energy .

Would be the person who is hunted . As her brain produces energies and memories .

Maybe the ghost could use that power to travel

Could he feed form that ? Like a parasite using other brains electricity ?

Yes . How do u justify 2 people see same thing ?

Are both paranoid at same time with the same paranoia ?

Maybe was us 2 who was making things in house move with our minds power

Both paranoid of being hunted by a suicide kids dad

yes . Your brain produces and creates

Thats how we have artists , cinemas , web site developers . Engineers who build dildos

Kettle and toasters and radio and tv

Can u explain how a tv signal works ?

Is bonkers . How can images travel in space ? Is madness isn’t it ?

U don’t need to be mentally Ill to create and illusion .

Sleep deprivation or fatigue is enough to make

You trip and hallucinate

Have u ever been so tired that your brain glitches several times like a tv losing signal and the channel gets white n black ants as u walking in streets ?

Ha ha . Scary . I found it hilarious . Scary tho .

Two people experiencing the same or similar ghost phenomena at the same time or the same place is a type of mental illness called folie a deux.

I have spoken to many people over the years who have believed in ghosts, ESP, etc., and without exception they are people who have received or been receiving psychiatric intervention, usually in the form of medication.

Some, who have recovered sufficiently, no longer take medication, but their unusual beliefs continued, and from my experience they try to convince others of their usual beliefs, observations, experiences and perceptions.

They are not sufficiently unwell to be incarcerated, but are definitely people to be avoided.

These types of beliefs are biochemically based; these odd beliefs can be found in extended families because their individual and collective perceptions are faulty and not based on reality.

Frankly, believers with odd beliefs are to be avoided, but they find solace in conversing, and sharing their experiences.

It is part of the human condition.

When Mr N's father died we felt him in the room some hours later. When my mum died I was with her and felt nothing until I got back to my parents house. I went into her room with my daughter and physically felt her leave. I also felt my grandfather shortly after he died. I'm not sure about ghosts but I very firmly believe that people can exist in some form for a short while after they die.

"When Mr N's father died we felt him in the room some hours later. When my mum died I was with her and felt nothing until I got back to my parents house. I went into her room with my daughter and physically felt her leave. I also felt my grandfather shortly after he died. I'm not sure about ghosts but I very firmly believe that people can exist in some form for a short while after they die."

Thanks for sharing this. I can imagine that being comforting.

Frankly, I do not believe in these types of phenomena; I empathise with people who have lost loved ones, who have been an important part of their lives.

That's an interesting way of looking at it.

I felt my grandfather when I was doing something I shouldn't have been and he was there to tell me off.

My father in law was saying goodbye.

I'd already said goodbye to my mum at the hospital and she was just in a hurry to get away when I felt her leave her room at home. Which was very much in character

Sounds like you in tune with something others are less fortunate to see and feel.

I'd take it that you found the experience comforting. The way you speak about it doesn't sound scary or weird just natural.

Yes.

Stayed a night in a friends house. Been to his several times but 1st time I stopped overnight.

His house has always felt cold even with the heating on, small semi detached house.

Half way during the night I felt the bed duvet get pulled away from me very quickly that it woke me up, there was no one else in the room.

Didnt tell my friend but few months later he mentioned the previous owner had died in the house but no idea how.

Shit me up that did.

Comforting isn't the word I'd use, I just accepted it really, I do don't tend to question it too much. My mum has only fairly recently died so it's fresh in my mind. I

I have had other experiences but I tend not to discuss them on here because people ridicule them. I don't claim they're paranormal just that as yet I don't have an explanation.

"Two people experiencing the same or similar ghost phenomena at the same time or the same place is a type of mental illness called folie a deux.

They are not sufficiently unwell to be incarcerated, but are definitely people to be avoided.

These types of beliefs are biochemically based; these odd beliefs can be found in extended families because their individual and collective perceptions are faulty and not based on reality.

Frankly, believers with odd beliefs are to be avoided, but they find solace in conversing, and sharing their experiences.

It is part of the human condition."

Another armchair expert who is clearly stating that anyone who believes in any form of paranormal phenomena is under the influence of "medication".

Hands up, ladies and gents...which of you fit into that narrow-minded armchair scholar view...because I for one don't.

Typically, people who don't believe in anything that they haven't seen themselves are narcissistic individuals who like to stereotype others.

Oops, was that a generalisation too?

I'm happy for respectful discussion and difference of opinion but I don't take kindly to outright ridicule.

As I said to our son only the other day. Once you've eliminated the possible only the impossible remains

Absolutely...just take exception with people reinforcing stigmas in relation to mental illness and medication in order to "demonstrate" a rather tenuous link to paranormal experiences (or at the very least, unexplained ones).

These kind of people would have us still believing that the world is flat...or burning people at the stake for "witchcraft". Science advances

I have politely tried to explain my attitude to believers in these types of phenomena without being patronising or dismissive.

Many people believe in and claim to experience these events and perceptions; the experts' views as outlined in the DSM-5, and ICD-11, the medical manuals that are used all over the planet, have a rational explanation.

But cultural influences are pervasive worldwide too, and these western views as stated in the manuals are not always accepted as providing a full explanation.

The world and its human population make the planet an interesting place.

They do indeed make it interesting.

For the record I wasn't on any medication or receiving psychiatric intervention when I experienced what I did.

I'm a big believer, to be honest...after numerous experiences (sans any form of medical or chemical assistance whatsoever).

Yes, there are hoaxes, liars, fakes et al, and this merely serves to reinforce the ridicule that is often directed at believers / witnesses.

From reading your posts, you've been through a lot (emotionally and psychologically) and this can make us especially sensitive to certain energies and presences Xx

I'm not sure where I stand, I just don't know. There comes a point where you question your own experience because logic tells you that it could not have happened.

This is why we doubt ourselves. Certain elements of society ridicule us, and our sense of logic adds fuel to the fire.

All I can suggest is to focus on remembering the events, forget your logic whilst you're doing it. Apply the "Sherlock Holmes" logic instead.

Of course, there's a chance that your mind could've been playing tricks on one occasion or more. Tiredness, exhaustion, grief and various other factors can cause this...but I believe that you have an undeniable pattern of "unexplained" experiences there...

"Yes.

Stayed a night in a friends house. Been to his several times but 1st time I stopped overnight.

His house has always felt cold even with the heating on, small semi detached house.

Half way during the night I felt the bed duvet get pulled away from me very quickly that it woke me up, there was no one else in the room.

Didnt tell my friend but few months later he mentioned the previous owner had died in the house but no idea how.

Shit me up that did.

That's a creepy one.

Still gives me the creeps. Feel the hairs on my neck just thinking of it and this was about 30yrs ago.
