Paranormal Activity

[BANGKOK RED]

I'm open to all that is the 'paranormal'. I feel that there must be more to our life on earth. Where we go after we die is unknown, but i think you've got to be very small minded to think that there isn't anything else.

Unfortunately my sister passed away just over three years ago. I had a very good friend of mine who about 6 months or so later went to see Psychic. She got in contact with me a day or so after asking to meet up as soon as possible as she had some information to give me.

It turned out that during the meeting with the physic. A girl had got in contact and the Psychic asked whether she knew someone that had died in an accident recently. (My friend didn't let on her name) I've listened to the tape and it freaked me the fuck out big time. I haven't got the exact dialogue on me but it went a bit like this.

Psychic: Do you know someone that has died recently?
Girl: Yes i know of someone
Psychic: She's saying something about a bridge
Girl: I think i have an idea who you're on about
Psychic: She's coming across as a young girl and wants to get a message across
Girl: Ummm.. Ok
Psychic: I'm getting some sort of name beginning with a C.... Char..... Charlie?
Girl: I think the name you maybe looking for is Charlotte?
Psychic: Yes.. i'm getting that now. Charlotte wants to say to she's ok and is peaceful.

Now i don't believe in stuff like this. But this friend of mine helped me through all the shit i had on my plate at the time. My friend met my sister once before she passed but that was a way of getting a message me perhaps? I went to see a Psychic about a month or so after and got fuck all in the way of communication with 'the other side'.

Just find it strange that the Psychic had no way of knowing my sister and it wasn’t related in any way, shape or form to my friend!

It's called cold reading.

OK then, we will have to agree to disagree. I would like to ask one question for your views before I give up on this as it's going nowhere.

I stated, as I would in a Court of Law if questioned under oath, that I witnessed a table tilt, and there was no human physical agency doing it, against the laws of physics.  I am a trained scientist myself and by no means gullible. Three more witnesses were there and would testify too.

As I understand it, the possibilities are:

(1) I have lied to you with intention to deceive
(2) We were all deceived, because we were not intelligent enough to realise we were touching the table, and fooled ourselves
(3) It was a real physical phenomenon, paranormal compared to present knowledge.
(4) It could not have happpened, therefore did not, no need to even look at it.
(5) Other I cant think of.

Select which statements fit your own views.

I saw a magician pull a rabbit from a hat once. He must have been using real magic.

I understand the cold reading theory if it. To be honest - i had to look it up! I'm still a believer none the less...

What happened to me saturday night was chilling.  Just turned the light off got into bed, said good night to sussex and was just nodding off and I heard this whistling.  it was a human whistle and I thought it was outside and someone just walking down the footpath at the end of our garden but the position of the whistle never moved.  It was a happy whistle.  Then it all went cold around me and every hair on my body stood on end, it was coming from next to my bed! I was paralysed with fear and I wanted shout fpr Paul or grab hold of him but I couldn't move, I broke out in a cold sweat, then it felt like someone put their hand around the back of my neck and then stroked my hair!! This really has scared me!

I am scared of the dark at the best of times but in the last year strange things have been happening around the house.  I never feel alone and always have someone watching me.  There is def something there, every now and again I get a waft of musty old man ( that isn't sussex) it seems to follow me, before it has only ever been on the landing or stairs. I have named him Arthur!

I have been on ghost hunts and taught how to try and communicate but I daren't on my own! eeeeek.

Cold reading is an art, not a theory.

When you say your paralysed with dear, were you properly paralysed?

I ask because all my life I've suffered with Sleep Paralysis and this is often accompanied by hellish fear along with voices, hallucinations, the sensation of being shaken or thrown around and the horrible feeling of not being alone. It's only because I suffer with this on an almost nightly basis that I'm able to dismiss it all entirely, although as a child that was harder.

I've often seen someone strangling me, little people or children (more like a kind of troll like figure to be honest) pounding my chest, people stood looking over me, whispering noises, being tickled and any number of strange things. It's never nice, but nowadays I've learned to almost find it quite fun in a being made jump kind of way.

Until you witness something yourself, it doesn't exist.

Doesn't matter if you believe something exists or not. To those who have witnessed something, it exists. To those who have not witnessed something, it does not exist. Until it happens then it exists.

Thing is if someone tells you something exists which you know doesn't exist you've got to ask yourself the motives of someone telling you something exists when you know it doesn't. Unless it does and you just haven't witnessed it yet. In which case you know it doesn't exist.



Pressed F5 but I'm still here.

I've never witnessed you, ergo you don't exist.

The real physical universe is composed of matter and energy. If that is the case then you can detect and measure both of them. Objects or forces (the application of energy) do not materialise out of nothing and neither do they disappear into thin air. We all know this from our everyday experience.

The real physical universe materialised out of nothing and is continuing to grow into the nothingness...

I'm often paralysed with dear. It's a fetish of mine.

[normy]

I think the idea that "something happened that I don't understand" equals "something happened that nobody can explain in current established physical terms, must be something spooky" is not only incredibly arrogant, but incredibly closed minded.

Maybe the table moved (is that what you're saying happened? you were sat around a table and it tilted slightly?), maybe you'd had too many bevys, maybe you imagined it, but you're only applying a spritual explanation too it because that's what you're looking for.

I've read Lord of the Rings too many times, I could take it as evidence that there was somebody with some sort of invisibility ring wandering around the room and fucking about with you.

Did you try and repeat the experiment and get the same thing to happen again, recreate the exact situation in which the 'table tilt' happened? If not it's not exactly scientific.

Sorry, but you don't have a clue, you weren't there and you obviously underestimate my intelligence. It was not a scientific experiment in terms of repeatability. There have been other occasions when I have experienced table tilting and know it was not explainable in normal terms. However this is pointless, nobody can be expected to see my viewpoint unless they had seen the same event with their own eyes and reasoning.
 I am annoyed to be termed arrogant and closed minded, I always thought myself the opposite. Ah well as others see you...

Vealy?

Anyway, that is mental Barry. No wonder you are a bit of a nutter When my misses was in hospital with a kidney infection, she had all sorts of stuff 'happen' to her. She said some guy tried to strangle her, ghosts sat on her bed, bed levitating and stuff. The thing is, I was in the room with her at the time and saw nowt. We reckon it was a combination of a high fever and powerful drugs.

It does go to show though that there are so many questions left unanswered and things are not always necessarily what they seem.

Are you taking the mick? If not then bloody hell!!

You physically cannot move - I wish I could say that I was asleep or it was a dream but it was before I had even gone to sleep, I had only just got into bed and I was sober
