Do you believe in Ghosts?

[dottiedodah]

just that really ,found some interesting things online that made me think .YABU ghosts dont exist YANBU could be something in it

And does the same apply to mosquitos, for example ?

i should think with the amount of mosquitos that get swatted to death. Spread with insecticides etc, there are billions of phantom mosquitos buzzing about. The thing is does their sting get resurrected?

Probably an airlock in your water pipes: we get this intermittently and it does sound like knocking.

Yes

I've no idea.

I agree with you. I also like to keep an open mind. For example, telepathy between twins, I find things like that fascinating. I've been pres et before, during, and after lots of deaths. Sometimes, I definitely feel like I feel things, sometimes lovely peace. I can't describe it, it's so calm.

I think you’ve cracked it! The Standards and Conduct Committee of the Afterlife must draw up a list of rules - possibly with a spooky arbitration panel available for difficult cases.

So if someone is near death in one place - say the back of an ambulance - but is declared dead in A&E, they could maybe get the right to choose where to haunt. Or if the Roman house is now under an Aldi, maybe they could get permission to hang around in the car park and haunt there instead.

And do they have dress codes and decency rules? Like Stone Age ghosts have to cover up with loin cloths. Or people who die in the nude have to wear the ever-popular ghostly white sheet.

I wonder what happens if a ghost doesn’t obey and, say, tries to haunt the bingo club instead of the place they died. Ghost prison?

But we know hardly anything about how the universe works. The fact that we know nothing about how far the universe stretches out and could actually be eternal for example goes against our knowledge of how things work. Just because an idea goes against the stuff we know about does not mean it doesn’t exist

And the people who come up with this stuff (‘science will one day prove my Anything Might Be True worldview!’) are just revealing how little they know about what we do actually know.

Yes I believe totally. And no, I don't need patronising by a scientific bully.

How do you know that the bloke you just saw turning the corner (who was wearing jeans and a T) wasn't a ghost?

If he was wearing knockerbockers you'd notice and wonder, but a bloke in a T?

The last ghost I saw was wearing cargo trousers and an anorak. He had a black Lab on a lead.

Knockerbockers would make a great big bra brand name

Show me the ghost of a stegosaurus and I might believe in them

No. I don't believe in religions or any woo. I'm a cynic and require evidence or proof to believe anything.
I like the idea of it ghosts though.

Hundreds of years ago if you told the people that we would one day be actually able to speak to someone in real time who is on the other side of the planet or that we could manage almost our entire lives through a thin little box in our hands instantaneously or that we could walk on the moon if we wanted they would have the same attitude a lot of people on here have. Eg “that’s impossible, it is laughable, your nuts if you believe such nonsense that goes against everything we’ve ever known about the world-that stuff simply can not be explained nor could ever be true”

We've only had this very dogmatic scientific view for a couple of hundred years. Prior to that belief in spirits and an afterlife existed for thousands of years. I suppose what it shows me is how restricted we have become by this view that everything must be data driven.

@T0ASTER you think you're being such an edgelord, but you're really boring 😴

My husband and I discussed this a lot. We made a pact with little secret signs and messages so we would know it was genuine if one of us died and was trying to communicate. We had many, many long intellectual, philosophical conversations into the night, and we both wanted it to be true. I am a widow, and I’ve never had any reason to believe in ghosts.

@Mammajay haha. My house is 200 years old and I've yet to require Ghostbusters. Bill Murray on his own once, but he was looking for a strip club...

I don't think it's a bad thing to think logically and feel that evidence is important if you're going to believe that something is real.

There are scientific studies -lots of them - that provide evidence for such phenomena as telepathy, being able to tell when you're being watched, remote viewing, predicting which card or image will show next.

Scientific. Peer reviewed.

Science doesn't know what to do with these findings because the tools we have available are not suited to this sort of investigation. Also, the scienfitic method requires reproductible results, and so many psychic phenomena (e.g. your dad dying) aren't reproductible.

The book Extraordinary Knowing by Elizabeth Lloyd Mayer provides an overview, with insights into how quantum physics may provide an overlap with paranormal phenomena.

Are you sure? I’ve never heard of telepathy, for example, having ever been proved.

I belive in ghosts as I've seen 3. I wouldn't go around telling everyone as there's people out there that have seen none and can't get their heads around it. But they are real. I don't suffer with my mental health and do a job where people listen to me and do as I say on important matters.

Care to share 2 to 3 of them seen as there are loads of them. I would love to read these journals and who has peer reviewed them. I`ll be waiting 🙂

Are airlocks really well known for causing mirrors to jump off walls and fly several feet forward where you live? The plumbers there must live interesting lives.
