One house I lived in had strange goings on. Occasionally, as I was in the kitchen at the sink at one end, at the other end of the kitchen by the door, plates or cups that were nowhere near the edge would inexplicably end up smashed on the floor. I never saw them go when I was looking directly at them, it was just out of the corner of my eye when I would see them slide off the worktop. I used a spirit level to check if there was a slope on the work counter, but there wasn't. I tried not putting anything near the edge, but things still slid off. Then on other occasions I would smell pipe tobacco burning, but no one in the house smoked. It was a dreadful house anyway, and we moved out after 11 months. | |||

"Been hearing a few things at home lately that are a bit odd .anyone else see or hear anything in there own homes .or don't believe in this sort of thing??" Go through every possible explanation for the noises from central heating, house settlement, bird stuck in chimney to radio left on somewhere. If you can discount every normal explanation you're left with paranormal, it still doesn't mean its a ghost. I read something once where a couple tried everything to identify the sound of a ghostly rooster crowing. Eventually they found an old watch in the loft that had an alarm that was the sound of a rooster. | |||

If they existed anywhere outside the human mind we would have proper scientific proof by now. | |||

"Been hearing a few things at home lately that are a bit odd .anyone else see or hear anything in there own homes .or don't believe in this sort of thing??" Whatever you are genuinely experiencing the very least probable explanation is that a once oxygenated brain now has greater powers than it ever did and can now directly interact with tangible matter whilst at the same time be completely non detectable by humanity Ghosts are purely a manifestation of the genuinely fertile human imagination possible only from a living brain x | |||

"I've seen enough to know that we cannot rule out the possibility. Personally and in terms of the family. According to my mother I was haunted/observed by something (she believes my grandmother) as an infant" Yep, in the same way that you can't rule out the possibility that there is a pink elephant living in my back garden that turns invisible every time I look. | |||

"I would love to see a ghost" See could be an interesting concept ? Either a It has substance that can reflect light. B It has substance that can emit light C It has ability to interact with living brain neurons to induce an illusion of image Most ghost "sightings" contradict the above Ie I saw it with my own eyes but could not take a picture or my friend could not see it That rules out visible light and leaves c C is non distinguishable from an optical illusion or an imagining yet the viewer insists they "saw" it | |||

"A lot of people don’t believe in these things, I didn’t either!!! But I have seen things that changed my mind, I have seen a man who tipped his glass to me in a pub in Evesham, this was a man I knew slightly, a man in a walking cage who was always with his wife except this one occasion, a man whom I was not aware died a week or so before I saw him, I have seen taps come on, not partially full on!! And no one around? I have seen a little boy dressed in shorts and school cap waiting on the side of the road, very sixties!! Except it was a Sunday pouring with rain and in the naughties!! So do I believe now? Most certainly" here is the exciting part what you have experienced , I say experienced because we have no idea if it is light that has convinced your mind or other factors , so what you have experienced certainly wasn't a once living thing come back so what was the real cause for your conviction now that's the real question we should quest to know an answer not be satisfied with "a ghost did it end of" once living brains do not come back and interact with living brains , but what is the real cause of such conviction ? I've seen 3 dead people but when I went to talk to them they were not they were exact doppelgangers And a vast number more of so called ghostly figures and sounds when properly scepticaly investigated all had normal explanations Ghosts are a human invention with zero data to substantiate even their possible existence , and a lot to illustrate the possibility is less than doubtful It is usually impossible for a person who is convinced they experienced a dead human brain to perform the required investigating from all angles thus to jump to the implausible and make strong conclusions is more a matter of anthropological psychology than ghost hunting x | |||

Really?" hang on , really ?? So on the plausibility scale , you go for the most widely unlikely above any other unlikely scenario ? both are unlikely however one is vastly less plausible than the other I have no idea what you say how or why , nor shall I ever convince your made up mind Yet it is certain whatever has convinced you is most certainly NOT a dead brain deciding to amble the streets randomly showing itself to random people | |||

" In this particular area of ghosts, poltergeists etc, there isn't yet, I think, any changes to the major laws of physics that have been caused by credible evidence published in any of the reputable literature. From having an open mind, it's certainly feasible that there has been though. | |||

"For me, it’s not a matter of believe or not believe. I saw one, which cannot be explained away and I was with two mates who saw her clear as day too from about 6 feet away from us. Years later when I met my ex wife, I started to tell her the story, she stoped me midway and told me the exact same story I was about to tell her, she’d seen the same ghost years earlier when she was a young girl and she had been with her friends too. It was in a very old derelict house that had been left to rot since the war. It was open to the elements, was only accessible over a school fence as it was overgrown with brambles etc, the stairs had collapsed inside. Me and my mates had gone in for a look round, it was literally a rotten shell. When we came out andxsat on the fence there was an old lady staring out of the window next to the front door, she didn’t say anything and she definitely could not have been inside that house and certainly wouldn’t have been in the same spot 20 years earlier when the ex saw her. I know what I saw and I know it was a ghost, end of story. " That's a cool story .it love to see one and just know it is what it is | |||

But who knows Of course you think you remember it correctly, but it's still far more likely you are wrong about that than that there was a ghost. People are quite often proven to be wrong about things they were convinced they had witnessed. No one has ever proven ghosts exist. I'm aware of that fact obviously. I'm not even saying they do exist . I just know how shit scared I was that night and I remember it crystal clear . I'm just saying I don't know how or why it happened ." Fair enough ?? I just never get the logic that says. "I can't explain it, so it must be a ghost". | |||

"At the end of the day those who claim to see ghosts have to decide which of the following is most likely to be true. 1. That they saw something for which there is a rational explanation of which they are unaware or experienced an optical illusion. 2. That they saw a person who had died and come back to life. Given that option 1 is immeasurably more likely than option 2, I find it difficult to understand how people can be so convinced that what they saw was a ghost. Can you explain my experience ^ above. there is no logical explanation I can think of even after 22 years ?? No, but again I have to ask what is more likely 1. That you have mis remembered what happened 22 years ago. 2. There was a ghost. As we have lots of evidence of fallible memories from events long ago but no evidence of ghosts. I conclude 1 is more likely. How can I misremeber an experience like that. I remember every detail and always will . I still cannot for the life of me explain it rationally .

"for those people who 'think' they have seen a ghost all you have to do is prove its real to james rhandi and get 1 million dollars. the prize has been there for years for anyone who can prove anything along those lines lines astrology,ghosts,mind reading , tarot cards etc etc the reality is its all a load of fucking bull shit and things like that are in the mind" I don’t mind people having views on anything, but please be civil, English is a language that when used correctly allows anyone to express themselves eloquently, so the use of vulgarity is not required! Perhaps it’s something you should grasp when posting your views ? | |||
