Yeah!

I had one experience where one of my dresses floated passed my bedroom which scared the shit out of me.

Last Xmas I had objects marked on my desk and after an hour they'd been thrown on the floor, whileI was downstairs, I've had spoons fly off my desk and my phone thrown on my floor.

In my last house there was a man on the stairs but could only see smart black pants and shoes (yes the light was on) I've also had a hand brush my cheek

As nobody has EVER caught any supernatural activity of any kind on camera, I don't think you will see anything. Are ghosts, goblins, fairies and unicorns camera-shy or just figments of the imagination when we are scared? The choice is yours.

If the supernatural does exist, then why would it have to comply with things like cameras? It already would be existing on levels we don't comprehend. Seems a silly argument.

I do believe that there are forces I don't understand. It's something I'd always thought is possible, but I did have one experience that affirmed this for me. It was weird because it felt 'normal' too, I wasn't afraid.. But I was half asleep so maybe that factored.. So, I was staying at my friend's place.. his parent's place.. this is maybe seven or so years ago now.. They lived in a large country house and had a guest room where I stayed. It is very difficult to put into words but when I was sleeping, I felt a kind of breeze, there was no temperature to it but I felt it pass me. I was asleep, it woke me up and when I opened my eyes, it was still moving in the room, but I couldn't see it. It came from above diagonally, quite slowly, and I felt it almost like a soft wind, but not cold, I was fascinated but it was very confusing, I didn't understand what it was/how it was.. then it was gone. I went back to sleep. The next morning I was having breakfast with my friend and his mum was making breakfast. I mentioned this incident to them and they looked at each other and then told me that when they bought the house, they had been told that there is a 'ghost' in that very room.. I had no prior knowledge of that of course, and so this experience is difficult to really render in any scientific/rational way.. I don't know about angels/ghosts, etc.. but there was some sort of other energy that I'd never felt before..

Leeds.

Scientists are using quantum physics to prove the exhistence of ghosts. I once saw a discussion on the television about it. They compared it to listening to a radio. They said if you're listening to a station (Radio 1 for example) but then tune to a different station (Talksport for example) you no longer hear Radio 1, but that does not mean it's no longer there. Obviously it is, but you're tuned to a different frequency so can't hear it.

In short, they're saying when your physical body dies your spirit leaves it and occupies another frequency that humans can't detect.

There are supposed time, frequency and dimension slips which permit glances of entities. Like when you see something out of the corner of your eye, but when you look directly there's nothing there.

I have no idea what the explanation is or if its supernatural but I have seen and heard a lot if things that don't fit with what I know of normal life. I've felt things too that I can't only describe as energy. Who knows the cause but the op asked if we believe in ghosts they gave no explanation as to the cause of the experiences people had...so yes I believe in experiences about which we have no explanation .....yet.

I used to when living with my other half in a "haunted house" but after spending time investigating things and even doing the odd organised ghost investigation I've discovered there is an explanation for everything I've seen, on these ghost hunts it's normally down to someone else pushing a glass around a table. Gravity , or plain old dust and air streams on camera.

When I was seriously ill in hospital at one point they had to put me out and put me on a ventilator.

While I was under I vividly remember sitting on the beach with my grandad who died when I was 14.

We talked for a while and then he told me it was time to go back

When I came round the first thing I was told I said was bye grandad

It's still just as vivid in my head now as it was that day

How come none of these "ghosts" and "strange" happenings ever get caught on camera?

In this day and age with all the technology available there's never been anything definate caught on camera.

No, I'm totally sceptical about any phenomena like this.

However, one of my fantasies is to go to the local hospital at midnight dressed as the Grim Reaper and to stand at the end of people's beds and just point. I want to see how many wards I can do before I get thrown out.

I'm normally sceptical about the paranormal but I have witnessed events recently, so bizarre, so macabre, that they have caused me to question the existence of the after life.

One such instance is at my place of work. It is a Grade 3 listed building, a converted warehouse at least 200 years old, the scene? My ofice fridge, I am becoming convinced that it may contain a malevolent presence. Every time I open the door there is an eerie chill that envelopes my whole body. Also when I put milk in there for my coffee, the next time I go to get it. It's a fucking empty cunting carton!

But seeing as no one can prove that we have a spirit this argument is flawed. Where do animal spirits go? Oh and bacteria? Or is it just the case that humans are special?

Yeah I believe. Lucky enough to have had a few instances at night and day.

There are plenty of examples on youtube of incidents being caught on camera, now its up to you if you believe they are real or fake.

My last experiences were just over a month ago in Llanciach Fawr (nr Merthyr Tydfil) and again was lucky enough to hear things but wasn't convinced I saw anything.

What I don't get is how skeptics try to claim how we should have evidence by now etc.. etc.. and try to put such phenomena in a context that we understand. It doesn't have to comply to anything we understand. It already is in itself something we don't understand, if it exists, so why would it have to be able to be caught on camera or by modern technology? 300 years ago there was tons of stuff we couldn't do that we can now and if someone told them about some of these things, for the very same reason that because it wasn't proven you wouldn't believe it, they would be skeptics. It's quite existentialist to believe that if 'ghosts' did exist we should be able to record them with modern technology because we are so clever and together.. Hypothetically, we could develop technology to record such phenomena in 50 years, or in 300 years, or we might never, but why do we have to already have this technology now? It's a funny way of assessing in my opinion.

I will use a simple method of describing what happens when you die with the help of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In the terminator film when they think theyve finally killed the terminator you see the light in his eyes go out. This is what happens when you die, everything switches off for good, no life no spirit no nothing. You are dead, non living , an ex alive person, finished, popped your clogs etc etc

'Ghosts' is an emotive term and conjures up images that we have been fed since childhood through tales, the media etc..

not a believer in 'ghosts', till about 18 months ago I was totally sceptical about anything spiritual. Not so now..

there is much we don't know, keeping an open mind is key and not deriding those who may have had what their perception tells them was something different..

my mum had a house that had mirrors move and so cold ...chilled to the bone and voices telling her to jump out of the window they moved!!!

when an aunt died I kept smelling her perfume in my house and woke up and my wedding ring and engagement ring were on my bedside cabinet... I NEVER take them off

I like this report......

Dr Richard Wiseman, a psychologist from the University of Hertfordshire, is arguably the country's top ghostbuster.

In 2003, following extensive research, Dr Wiseman concluded that ghosts were not real, and that people were merely responding to environmental clues such as light, temperature, or sounds at a frequency so low they are not detectable by the human ear but can be felt by the body.

Dr Wiseman likens our belief in ghosts to being "a bit like American wrestling": we know it's claptrap, but we rather enjoy it anyway......

"I will use a simple method of describing what happens when you die with the help of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

For me that's the overwhelming feeling when you watch somebody die, especially the young..the light going out of their eyes, non seeing and lifeless.

Of all the living beings on our planet the human race is the only species cognisant with our own and others mortality.

How we deal with this is of course a personal choice. Mine is to accept the the inevitably of my own death and that of loved ones by cherishing what life gives to me now.

Humans only see a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum (visible light) and can only hear a narrow band of frequencies, so if we are able to see and hear ghosts/spirits/whatever then surely our technology which can "see" a much wider spectrum than us and "hear" frequencies well out of our range of hearing should be able to pick these things up.

An interesting side note focusing on the way people live their lives,.. If you need someone else to prove something before you believe it and until then limit what you believe is possible based on what is exposed on a mass level, doesn't this limit you from excelling in your view of the world?

I believe in science, I don't believe in adam and eve because there's no evidence to back religion up, I do believe in dinosaurs because there is evidence to back evolution up

We was born to reproduce and dies, like any other species on this plant, that's what we evolved into and for, to keep man kind going, there is no evolutionary reason at all why there would be an after life, it does not benefit man kind in any way so why would evolution throw it in?

I know we all have our own ways of thinking and some believe in the super natural, but I just think everything happens for a reason and there's no logical reason why there would be an after life when there's no benefit from it, I believe in science and there's not scientific evidence to back this up

I believe in science too. I also believe in sciences that we aren't aware of (yet, or ever). You don't believe in things that are yet to be proven, but once they are proven, you will believe them. So why can't you consider there are things that you don't believe that you might be wrong about?

As for afterlife, unexplained phenomena doesn't necessarily have to mean it is something relating to afterlife.

Being someone who believe is science and logic, I hope you agree that there are living life forms on other planets, right?

I do believe in life on other planets as they have found fossils of primitive life forms on titan

as for why I can't consider believing in thing's that are yet to be proven, as far as ghosts go my answer is this, we are born to reproduce and die, once we have died we have served our purpose so why would we hang about in the form of a ghost? to my mind there's just no reason for this to happen

I believe in science, I don't believe in adam and eve because there's no evidence to back religion up, I do believe in dinosaurs because there is evidence to back evolution up

As for afterlife, unexplained phenomena doesn't necessarily have to mean it is something relating to afterlife.

Being someone who believe is science and logic, I hope you agree that there are living life forms on other planets, right?

I do believe in life on other planets as they have found fossils of primitive life forms on titan

- Why 'ghosts'? Why do you have to associate it to the afterlife in particular. Could be a sort of parallel existence like plants or animals.

- How do you know what our purpose is and that it being fulfilled relies solely on what we already know??

"I've not seen a ghost but when a 3 year old comes running into the kitchen from the living room, asking her mother why the white lady, she was talking to disappeared through the ceiling, it does make you wonder "

It was a three year old! That should explain it sufficiently.

But science doesn't work like that..science doesn't prove things, the scientific method sets out to disprove theories, postulates, and if it can't, that is the state of knowledge at that time.

As we stand, evidence for the existence of super natural events has not survived the rigour of the scientific method.

As far as ghosts and the supernatural are concerned my scepticism is similar to my views on religion. I'm intelligent enough to realise that if you prove something to me, then it's intellectually logical to believe in it. However until then, I remain Agnostic, both theologically and paranormally!

I had an interesting conversation with a very devout Muslim recently who asked me if he could categorically prove that God existed would I then believe in 'him'. I replied that I would but conversely if I could categorically prove that God didn't exist, what would he do? He replied 'I don't care, I'd still have my faith', which I thought was a lovely philosophy. We did agree that we both lived our lives by the same moral and ethical codes regardless of our religious differences, which boiled down were basically, don't be a cunt to other people! He does a rather better job of it than me though

Apologies for going off topic slightly but it illustrates where I am on the subject!

^this. Hydrocarbons and other organic molecules, possibly even amino acids. Pretty far from proof of life and /or fossils. I thought I'd missed a massive discovery for a minute.

When I was young and had a motorbike , I was riding back home after dropping my girlfriend off at about 1pm in the morning . It was a terrible night wind and rain , and I saw a girl walking in the dark . I stopped and asked her if she wanted a lift home . She said yes and she gave me her address and jumped on the back . As I got nearer her home I checked my mirrors and saw to my horror she was not there . I drove back retracing my steps , the wind must have blown her off .... Nothing . I went to the police , who called on the address the girl had given me . They were told no young girl lived there , however they had lost there daughter 10 years earlier in a road accident !!!!!!

"And if so, have you ever had any supernatural experiences?"

No, but have seen two ghosts, who saved mine and another persons life.

Also used to regularly see and hear the approach of a light in a remote farm house, never anything there, just ignored it in the end.

But decided I choose not to believe in them.

Would like to not believe in them, but once nearly ran over a man on the A420 near Frilford Heath. Having swerved to avoid him, and nearly crashing the car, when I got out there was no sign of anybody...living or dead....was bizarre and have never found an explanation for it

I'm also not arrogant enough to believe that we're the only life forms in the Universe, it's pure vastness would suggest the existence of planets a similar distance from a life-sustaining star as our sun that would support life of some kind.

Yes i do.

I have felt my hand being held while sleeping on a couple of occasions.

And when i was having an op once where i almost died because an ectopic pregnancy burst, The surgeon told me that the the theatre went very cold at that point and when i came round in the recovery room my Grandad was sitting next to me beside the nurse. He spoke to me and told me "That everything will be ok and that i would go on to have more children"

When i told he nurse that he was there, she said that it happens loads and thought it was the anaesthetic that makes it happen. But i know he was there !!

Hang on I though I was doing well to be able to see the logic of a Feynman diagram, think 12 dimensions would explode my 3 dimensional brain... but if we could see it it may explain lots of weird stuff that is hard to put a nail in.

Well, Kepler has found a bunch of potentially earth like planets in a tiny segment of the sky, when extrapolated out that means there could be as many as 3 billion earth like planets in our galaxy alone!

It is, and I can get a handle on 5.. struggle to work the maths behind 6 but that is about the limit of my capacity to follow the books, I simply can't contain enough information in my brain to start calculating 10+ so I am waiting for someone clever enough not only to understand it but show it clearly as well.

Science quite often disproves itself.. so if one is to believe everything scientifically current, they'd certainly be wrong a lot of the time. Why it's important to believe in some things science has proven and others science has not proven. You have your own mind to do this with! I don't mean you in particular, I mean in general, people..

As for the supernatural and where it stands in terms of science. As I said before, it's possible that it might be something that we can't prove. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Like all the new species discovered on a daily basis while others are being extinct etc..

Science strives to disprove itself, that's the whole point! The only way to learn the truth is to test hypotheses. Our current understanding about how things work is undoubtably wrong but it provides us with the best explanation we have.

There is a vast difference between something which is unexplained and something supernatural.

IF the big bang theory is correct, and IF evolution is a constant, there is no reason to suspect that there is any interstellar transport systems anywhere yet. But there is good reason to consider that no other planet would have a Greek culture, and a suitable mountain named Olympus

With respect I think you are have the wrong understanding of how science works..science doesn't set out prove anything, it simply functions to help understand where our knowledge of the physical world is at any given time.

Technology, the application of science, is where' proof' is.

Science hasn't proven that Gods don't exist, or Santa Claus, or the tooth fairy, but at this moment in time there appears to be no scientific evidence supporting their exsistence

Of course I know that science is about bettering our understanding and not to prove things for the sake of it. And so just because we don't have an understanding of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist?! There is that saying, to paraphrase, "People fear what they don't understand". Applicable to things like the supernatural and why people are conditioned not to believe it as something possible. Also, scientific research is funded in part for what will potentially be something that the funders can capitalise on. The supernatural is not so interesting in this case.

Not true. There is a lot of "blue sky" research going on. i.e research for the sake of research. The idea of knowing how things work the way they do was what drove the first scientists or "natural philosophers" as they were called.

You seem to misunderstand what the scientific method is and why knowledge itself is as valuable as any technology that is developed by it.

I've cherry picked a few of your statements throughout this thread.

"If the supernatural does exist, then why would it have to comply with things like cameras?"

It's not just cameras, there are all sorts of instruments that have been used to try and establish the existence of ghosts etc. (please note that this has been done by "ghost hunters", people actually trying to prove they exist!) and still nothing. Hell, if we can detect neutrinos we should be able to detect ghosts.

"I believe in science too. I also believe in sciences that we aren't aware of"

Sciences we're not aware of? I don't even know where to begin with that!

"Science quite often disproves itself.. so if one is to believe everything scientifically current, they'd certainly be wrong a lot of the time"

As I've already said, that's the point of science.

"I know that science is about bettering our understanding and not to prove things for the sake of it."

Not necessarily. Knowledge is it's own reward.

"Also, scientific research is funded in part for what will potentially be something that the funders can capitalise on."

Not true. Not true now and not true throughout history, early scientists had to find their own experiments. The only reason business is so involved now is because the equipment is so complicated and expensive. They invest because there is a good likely hood that the knowledge gained will be of value at some point but there's no guarantee.

We have spent the last 2000 years being conditioned to believing in the supernatural (Christianity).

Believing in something where there is no physical evidence is called faith, and people are of course completely free to make that choice, and do.

You still are not understanding the how the scientific method operates...it does not prove anything. At the risk of repeating myself, it simply attempts to explain the physical world as far as we know at this moment in time.

Science continually questions itself and it's conclusions.Science is open

Yes i do and experienced things most bizarre was long time ago working on stores on weekend basement floor me and mate fancied brew nearest coffee machine 3rd floor.

The lift was the goods lift with the manual gate and manual door to get in. Soon as we stepped inside lift both manual doors shut to say it was scary is understatement the lift shot to 5th floor which initself was odd as was derelict. We opened the doors no one around. Stepped inside liift again doors shut again now it was panic time we got back to basement mate threw up.

Transpired later apparently some died on that floor and even guard dogs would not go on that floor.

More recent experience was i was in bad car crash and what i remember clear as day was the light you hear about i was travelling down a train carriage way and passing deceased family and friends and my mum was at the end as i got there she said your children need you its not time yet.

Wierd bit is what i recall most was i saw santa claus but he was dressed in green. Months later was told he originally wore green and folkelore since has him in red.

Whether folk believe or not all the above is true.

Personal anecdotes are great fun to share around a campfire to put the jitters up fellow campers,but as evidence of the supernatural.they are not worth a handful off washers

"Trust the feckin boffins to spoil the thread

You say boffin like it's a bad thing.

in this case, yes . Look I'm a big fan of Roy Cropper types , but they don't know how to have fun do they ?

I had to google Roy Cropper, I was disappointed. To me a boffin is more like Doc Brown, he sure knew how to have fun.

You see there you go . Boffins don't understand sarcasm either !!

Neither do you apparently. It is forgivable as it's hard to convey tone on here. I think we need a shaking head and a facepalm smiley.

I will give you a pound for a handful of washers. We have 3 threads for the price of one here, ghosts, aliens, and science, so I am going to start another thread on genetic memory which I think may interact with this one but don't want to start another side path here.

"Reading these replies has made me laugh.

we stayed in a 300 yr old house that creaked at night

wow that is proof if ive ever seen any.

when in hospital i saw things.nothing to do with illness or drugs then

i was awoken from sleep...so you were dreaming then haha

apply a bit of thinking and the answer is there

for all you Derek achoras out there google occams razor

We have nothing to gain In saying what we have experienced, or in my case, didnt say.

I have no mental issues at all, my sences all work fine, same with my friends who was with me on differnt occasions. I'd be happy if I could disprove events, I couldn't prove it to be 'ghosts' either though.

I've been to see Derek Acorah on stage and he convinced me that night, either that or he had people planted all over the audience. Im far from convinced by him though as I also think he acts, but I do believe in mediums, wether they claim a spirit helps them or not.

Just keep an open mind until maybe one day an event changes your mind no matter how hard you try and disprove it.

I only say this as we can't all be wrong, there is plenty of evidence on youtube as I mentioned above.

Hopefully some of those can be viewed as video evidence, not all of them will be fake, some of them are laughable. Same with photo's, some are clever hoaxs, some have had many experts examine along with the negs and cant be explained.

I never used to be a believer, glad and grateful I am now though.

Our house is haughnted and it's very well documented in books too. Random stuff happens from time to time like pictures being turned around the wrong way, lights turning them selfs off. Last year the Xmas tree came down and the baubles were lined up in a perfect semi circle around the tree. Only once have we been hurt when a standard lamp kept going over hit me a couple of times. We have got used to her now and her cheeky ways of hiding things. It's just normal to us.

If this really happens all the time then prove it. Set up a webcam, document the evidence and put an end to centuries of debate! If you can provide actual proof it will have massive repercussions in the scientific community and will make you a shit ton of money in the process.

Unless it's all twaddle of course.

I said from time to time not all the time!! My mum never believed it until the Xmas tree and pictures were turned last year. To be honest I don't give a stuff about money or proving it. But your more than welcome to come stay see if u see anything or feel something. It's happened at work too on a break on a night shift once I thought one of the girls pulled my hair to wake me! I went out of the room I was in on the ward and they were all at the desk 2 mins later the emergency alarm went of in the room I had just left. I've never had a break in that room since and never will.

Ok, you might not care about money but what about proving the existence of ghosts? Ending centuries of debate? Making a significant contribution to the sum of all human knowledge! Think of the impact it would have on millions of people's lives! You would deny that because you can't be bothered to set up a camera?

Most people who believe in the supernatural and/or a god, are doing it because they WANT it to be true.

Does anyone believe in love? You can't see it, feel it (by touch), smell it or scientifically prove its existence. Is it just a chemical reaction? Or do people believe in it because they want to.

some on this thread are claiming it does or at least that scientific methods can.

It's a common misconception, proofs only exist in mathematics and logic which are both closed self contained systems of propositions, whereas science is empirical and deals with nature as it exists.The primary criterion of scientific theory is evidence not proof.

They do say that but they are normally dust motes or light. I think this was made popular by Most Haunted.

Being that I have been investigating this part of the paranormal field for over 25 years now, with a fully open mind, to what might be behind it. All I can say is , " in my opinion ", we will only really find out, what ghosts/hauntings are through a more scientific approach.

At the minute science is pushing into the field, of quantum and monocular physics and I believe this is where the answer will be found .

In my experience 8 out of 10 cases can be put down to natural causes, but there are and I have been lucky enough, to have witnessed some very unexplainable events..

"As nobody has EVER caught any supernatural activity of any kind on camera, I don't think you will see anything. Are ghosts, goblins, fairies and unicorns camera-shy or just figments of the imagination when we are scared? The choice is yours."

Because you have never caught anything, on a camera doesn't mean that no one has. I get these type of photos,sent to me from paranormal groups from all over the world. most have usually a natural explanation for them, but not all. I personally have taken photos, in a controlled way and have caught, some very good ones.

You are correct in that most orbs are just dust , insects and water droplets reflecting the flash of the camera.This came to the fore, in the 1990s with the advent of digital cameras,which seem to catch them a lot more than standard cameras.

Never been a believer in the slightest but recently a family member died, I woke up n a wave hit me I said to my partner that they had passed away, checked phones and there was a message. Then my window in my car which hadn't worked in a year started working that day. Them when we buried them yesterday my child was outside and said what's that light I looked up and seen a glowing circle in the sky that lasted about a second then disappeared. Very wierd n this is coming from a non believer...

I've had far too many experiences that I simply cannot explain, and believe me, I have fine tooth combed them all.

Each to their own opinion I say. No one is right or wrong, and no ones opinion is more valid than anyone else's... its all down to faith, conviction in what you believe!
