To ask if anyone has seen ufo, ghost, fae?

Methinks @MasterBethprotests too much. Scroll by these threads you are obviously triggered!

The greatest shame on threads like these are people who position themselves as the resident sceptic, shitting on people’s experiences. It’s always the same, and really drags these threads down.

You just dreamed about a fire. Why do you think you are so special that you went magic?

You're talking about yet-to-be-uncovered scientific discoveries based on quantum physics, not fucking ghosts like on Scooby-Fucking-Doo. Is that the mysterious breakthrough you are imagining? Ghosts?

There are no ghosts and there are no fairies. Maybe there's some new scientific explanation for some vanishingly small number of odd stuff that happens sometimes that isn't just someone hearing something or hallucinating. That doesn't make ghosts exist. Ghosts don't exist.

LOL that’s my point

Absolutely. How naive would you need to be to think you know everything (not pointing any fingers, Masterbeth)

Have you heard of the Telepathy Tapes Podcast? Scientific proof that telepathy is real for a group of non-verbal children and their primary care givers/parents. It’s very interesting…

One thing that happened to me was I had a really really vivid dream about a fire in a block of flats. I could see people burning inside and banging on the windows for help. I woke up drenched in sweat and physically shaking.

it was the night of the Grenfell fire and I still don’t understand how I dreamed about it.

Ive Had a few dreams now about things that were happening or going to happen.

I've got a dog that likes a wee at 5am most days and there's been a few things that have caught my eye in the sky. One really did freak me out, and I tried to film it but it didn't show on camera at all and Flight radar showed nothing. But we are on a flight training route for Fairford and Brize Norton airbases and I'm perfectly willing to believe it was an aircraft of some kind.

Scientists think outside the norm. That’s how they find things out.

A lot of these are around the on/offset of sleep - well know time for confusional states or sleep phenomena- or people suddenly looking up into a bright sky - ideal way to create false images on your retina - or something out of the corner of your eye - classic for misperceptions on the edge of your visual field.
Visual misperceptions, sleep phenomena and retinal afterimages explain a lot of what people are describing here. Although in the case of the person with haunted bin bags and scratches I think you had rats and bedbugs.

I saw a ghost as a little girl. But I don't completely believe in their existence either?

We do have a clear explanation for many things that used to be considered paranormal. There have been many discovered in my lifetime. There is no reason to believe that all the others won’t be similarly explained.

Ok mate. Great argument.

Yeah, so ghosts aren't real.

How do you know you weren’t dreaming? Or hallucinating?

I wouldn't be surprised if in the not so distant future we have a clear explanation for ‘paranormal activity’ but at the moment, we don’t - but we also still don’t fully understand how the universe works, especially at the quantum level, where particles behave in weird, almost magical ways depending on whether they’re observed or not. If no one ever thought outside the norm, where would we be?

How do you know you definitely weren't hearing things?

I definitely wasn't hearing things. And it wasn't a breeze, the window wasn't even open. Plus I hadn't been asleep, so it wasn't a dream either.

It would be very foolish indeed to think we know everything. It would be equally foolish to think we know nothing.

It's not very wise to believe in fairies or ghosts as the answer to your strange experience. Fairies and ghosts 👻 are the most route one, pre-existing, centuries-old, pre-science, storybook bullshit answer to your strange experience.

If you're keeping an open mind, your mind should be open to every rational explanation. You clearly haven't exhausted every rational explanation if you are resorting to "there is more in this Universe than we will ever know." Think harder.

I’m aware of something but do not know the extent or the full picture. No one does - including you. Wouldn’t it be wiser to keep an open mind?

Ball lightning

Hearing things.

A breeze.

Hearing things.

If you've experienced something then you are aware of it.

I have seen a translucent ball travelling through my flat. I've always wondered what it was so if anyone has any ideas I'd love to know. It was about the size of a mini football.
I've heard what I think was a ghost walking downstairs in the night. I was so sure one of the children had got up but I went to check and they were sound asleep and hadn't moved. The footsteps were very clear.
I felt someone blow in my ear when I was in bed one night and that was unsettling.
I heard the voice of someone who had died speaking to me. The thing was, I didn't know they had died. When that happened I felt I had to immediately make a phone call and I then found out. Though they were in hospital, I wasn't expecting this to be the outcome.
