...hmmm, what I believe is that there is much more that we don't know, than those things that we do know..so nothing really should be dismissed as a possibility...

It is mindsets such as yours which will ultimately advance Homo Sapiens beyond the still primitive stage we are in now Ammi - mindsets like yours, not mine, not LT's, but yours.

You had me until I read "young people".. then the science and facts disproved your theory :laugh:

:laugh:

I wouldn't say I actively believe in the paranormal, but I'm definitely open minded to it. In that I'm aware that there could be forces outside of our understanding. We like to think we know everything because we are intelligent, but we're only intelligent when we compare ourselves to the other creatures on this planet that we can see and we are aware of. Maybe there is more than the physical life that we can see. Who knows? None of us do. And we're only intelligent based on the definition of intelligence that we're capable of understanding. I'm confusing myself. Basically, I'm very much a science person outwardly because science is the thing that we're capable of understanding based on our limitations as a species. But could there be other stuff going on that we have absolutely no comprehension of? Sure, why not

When Dorothy in the Wizard Of Oz clicked her ruby slippers to get home now that WAS real! :joker::joker::joker:

Yes, I believe that science just hasn't caught up with it all yet.
My mothers mother was a medium (as well as a prostitute) and my mother could smell death, weird thing to explain but I have experienced if myself only a couple of times in my life.
I have felt a presence in rooms over the years, saw my late mother once in my bedroom, just an outline in lights but I knew it was her.
When our daughter was young she had a mist hovering over her bed when she slept, this went on for years, only our son was spooked by it, it moved around the house at times as well, I have not been able to see the top of the stairs from the bottom stair as it was so thick of mist.
Hubby has come in from night shift and thought a kettle had been left boiling with all the steam/mist in the kitchen.
There are some very good mediums out there but unfortunately there are So many more fraudsters so I can understand why people don't believe any of it.:shrug:

Well I've seen a ghost so yes.

Can you tell us about it Rob?

Fraudsters ARE the biggest stumbling block to genuine research Smudgie - that's a fact.

Not only do fraudsters cause people to think that ALL the paranormal is bogus, it gives the 'scientific' scoffers an escape route when they are faced with genuine phenomena which is well documented and witnessed, but which defies all scientific explanation.

There are hundreds of Reincarnation cases involving children, and there are even cases of people who suffer accidents waking up from a coma fluently speaking a completely foreign language instead of their own.

I can only go by my experiences and my truth, my truth is that i have certainly experienced spiritual activity.

I know it sounds daft but when we die, we go to the stars, we have no bodies, we are energy up in space, it's here we realise the beauty of our lives, the learning we have gone through, we realise that we are everything, the trees, the plants, the air, we are everything, and even though you are up in space, in the universe, you won't be scared, because the love you feel is so immense, so powerful, it's the most powerful feeling you will ever feel, if you take your love that you feel for your children/pets/partner and times that by a million, thats the amount of love you feel, and it's then that you realise, life is about love.

I know some will think i'm crazy, but i can only go by my experience and my truth and this is my truth:spin:

Hi Kirk, I really wish I could come with you. I believe there is much more out there than we now understand (but maybe one day will)
What annoys me about some of those programmes like most haunted, is when they ask for something to happen and when it does they run away screaming!!:shrug:

I'm open to believing but haven't witnessed anything personally apart from camping in the ruins of a castle in Weper Woods, we heard creepy noises but it was most likely animals

I wouldn't say I believe in any aspect of the paranormal no but I'm open to something being proved to me

I believe in residual energies

Like an echo of something that used to be there kind of?

Hi Jenny.

I am planning on a trip to this house but also visiting some other 'haunted' place in Yorkshire as well, on the same day - make a day of it, if you know what I mean. It will be next year now which gives me time to research suitable places, and I will gladly meet up with you Jenny if you want to come along.

Unfortunately, as my wife is also a 'paranormal' freak, she will be with me so I will not be able to do any courting with you :hehe:

I do too - very strongly.

Yes,but it makes my arms ache:hehe:

:hehe:
