Has anyone experienced what could be called a supernatural ocurrence?

Not just ghoulies and ghosties but something which felt outside of being an acceptable coincidence.

Remember a few years ago there was some publicity (think it may have been Noel Edmunds) about asking the universe to help you out - just like asking Santa for Xmas presents.

Well, I did and fuck me what I asked for I got - sounds crazy but it's God's honest truth

Chubbs's house is haunted (or badly wired).

I had an out of body experience once. Fell off my skateboard when I was about 14 and knocked myself clean out. As I came to I could hear wailing and screaming from far below me getting closer and closer until I woke and then realised it was me. Very odd.

I think you are confusing two stories Jayo  ;)

I'm very much an atheist.

However the 'supernatural' does not necessarily have to be mumbo jumbo. It could just be a quirk of nature/physics that we don't know about yet.

or ghosts

I gotta feeling this is a joke.

OK, i'll bite.

What did you ask for?

Cosmic ordering, my mum does it and thinks it works. Personally I think it's a load of bull.

There have been some right TEF gems for supernatural occurrences though:

Maybe KR has been on swap shop

Not this again...

all those people who deleted their accounts and have come back

are they ghosts?

Not a joke at all.

We were in a bit of a financial pickle at the time and within a week of my 'cosmic ordering' a solution presented itself

What the universe presented the opportunity of robbing the corner shop?

Agree completely. It's fuck all to do with an imagined deity. I suppose it's human nature to try and explain the unexplainable with "it's magic."

All across the world, every single day, billions of people are making billions of prayers to their gods.

Statistically speaking even though the vast majority of these prayers go unanswered, it is inevitable that something will hit. 'Answered' prayers are just a statistical anomaly. Nothing more, nothing less.

Easy to take the piss - something I would have done myself to be honest - but it did sort me out financially (and nothing illegal!).

Maybe it would have done so anyway, I don't know, but for a lifelong sceptic of just about anything and everything, it made me sit up and take notice

He didn't actually say he prayed though, did he?

Same thing

There's a lot of stuff we don't understand and a lot that we don't know especially when it comes to this sort of thing and the power of the mind.

To dismiss it as mumbo jumbo is accepting that there is categorically no way it could have happened.

I like to have an open mind about this sort of thing. I dismissed hypnotherapy and EFT until I tried it worked.

is that a dyslexic tef?

Don't get me wrong, my mind is wide open to the 'mystical' side of stuff. There's loads that we don't know and it's reasonable to expect that we will make some mind blowing discoveries as we learn more about the universe and stuff.

That doesn't mean to say though that everything should be taken seriously. Things like prayers, or whatever you want to call them, have already been all but proven to be worthless on account of the sheer volume of the times that they just don't work. I googled the Noel Edmonds thing and the his house in the sun, for which he gives credit to the universe, was actually bought by himself.

It's a quirk of the human mind and in this case not a dig at KR either. Humans just like to try to put a reason to things even when there is no reason. Derren Brown did a program in it once. Interesting stuff.

Good point well made

I took ketamine once and knew what it felt like to be dead. Never touched the stuff again.

Yeah, but you're a goat, ketamine is for horses.

Ketamine is awesome. Try mixing it with cocaine next time.

I also enjoyed the stuff. Was nearly 20 years ago mind. Felt like walking in sponge .

I don't remember doing much walking at all on Ketamine

You're doing it wrong then! It's the best fun trying to walk up and down a long, steep flight of stairs :)

I do miss my drug habits
