Are wrong to you maybe, however it doesn't make THEM wrong just because of that.

To you an unexplained experience doesn't mean a spirit or other supernatural being.
I think those who have said they HAVE however, have another meaning to what they themselves have witnessed.

If ghosts aren't real, they aren't real... they're not real for some people and not for others; that's just called imagination.

I'm amazed with phones we have no video evidence

Oh wait

I'm not

I disagree.
I don't think it's just as black and white as that.

I don't and wouldn't discount the rational accounts of others as simply to just easily to put down as imagination.
No way would I.

Most of the time things happen that are a great comfort to people that have lost someone dear. I lost my mum in February and a couple of weeks after her funeral I went to bed thinking of her...I wished for her to give me a sign that she was with me. I waited and then eventually closed my eyes then heard the light go on in our ensuite bathroom. It's a sensor light...maybe something triggered it like a moth etc but in the 6 years we have had it it had never happened before Coincidence?...probably...but it was kind of reassuring and comforting. Two weeks later I woke up to find an extremely heavy mirror in my bedroom had been lifted off its mount and was resting against the wall propped up on the linen basket below....it spooked us all out completely. How do you explain that if both my sons and husband swore they had not touched it??

...as you say, Rusti...the sensor light..?..could have been something of the coincidence of you having been observant to the ‘sign’...so, like the sensor light your attachment/association etc also being triggered by something of the unfamiliar...?..we encounter the unfamiliar as a very frequent thing in our lives, I feel...but that unfamiliar often and mostly goes unnoticed because we have no personal attachments of thought to it...?... we were not looking and thinking of ‘signs’ so the less familiar or unfamiliar just slips on by us.../...is what I feel anyway...but as I say, we attach our own meanings and that’s how it should be because where do personal ‘life meanings’ ever have a place if that wasn’t how it was and it was all done and dusted and placed in a box...

...the mirror, though...?...if there was no sign of the mount having been broken or bent or anything and everything was in place as always with the mount And it had held for a very long time../...then yeah, a bit spooky... maybe one of those very small earthquake/freak of nature, type things...that didn’t blow your house down but was enough to blow the mirror down with everything else staying in place etc...?...mirror, mirror on the wall...who is the freakiest of them all...well mirror in my bedroom, you are.../freaky mirror...

Sceptics sadly will argue someone must have done the mirror.
Never considering anything else is even possible.

As you ask however, what is the explanation of that.

Okay a sensor light could have been triggered by something like a moth say.
Then you state, it hadn't happened before.
So again the sceptics will say for sure that's what it was.

Yet 2 things you highlight, have happened that never happened before.

As I said I opened my thinking on things like this at 15.
It's a fascinating subject.
The more I hear from others, then things I've come across leave me more to push out just thinking it as coincidence.
Neither to just discount others experiences too.

They are real unexplained incidents.
Thank you for putting them out there on here.
Really interesting.

I think the problem with anecdotes like rusti's, is that they're pretty meaningless to anyone else and require the pattern-seeking human brain to create them. That's not to dismiss what rg wrote, it's just that we don't know anything else about these incidents that happened at a time when her brain was under immense stress dealing with grief.

I always find it odd that these communications come from a supernatural realm, and although they may be able to move mirrors a couple of inches, they are unable to write on a pad or a steamed mirror. As early humans, we had to assume patterns in everything, as not making out the face of a predator at dusk would have meant being a meal. Stare at a patterned wall or floor for long enough and you'll find faces in there too. It's just the way our brains have evolved.

The Dakota, an apartment building in New York City, has been home to many rich and famous residents since it opened back in 1884. John Lennon and Yoko Ono moved into the building in 1973, and John was also assassinated outside the structure on December 8, 1980. Before his death, John claimed he saw a "crying lady ghost" roaming the halls. Then, after John died, Yoko, who still lives in the building, said she witnessed John's ghost sitting at his piano. Yoko says John told her: "Don't be afraid. I am still with you."

If you're a scary-movie lover, you might actually know about the Bell Witch. The films An American Haunting and The Blair Witch Project are both based on the story. Way back in the early 1800s, a man named John Bell moved his family to an area in Tennessee called Red River, which is now known as Adams, Tennessee. After they had settled in the new home, some peculiar things started happening. The Bell family began hearing some bizarre noises, including dogs barking, chains rattling, rats chewing, and a woman whispering. Soon, that woman became known as the Bell Witch, and many people believe she's the ghost of a former neighbor of the Bell's, Kate Batts. Batts and the Bells had a dispute over land, and she had sworn vengeance on the Bell family before she died. Later on, Bell died from poisoning, and it's rumored to be the work of the Bell Witch.

Spend the night in the haunted Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, which opened in 1886. (During construction, a worker named Michael was killed, and his ghost reportedly still haunts room 218.) The hotel came under the ownership of known medical fraud Norman Baker in 1937, who fancied himself a doctor. He turned the hotel into the Baker Cancer Hospital, claiming to have the cure for the disease (he did not, obviously). Patients who died under his care were buried right in the hotel's basement, which served as a makeshift morgue. He was arrested in 1940, but his patients' spirits are said to still remain. Because the hotel is still open, guests often say they see apparitions and hear noises during their stays. SyFy's Ghost Hunters even has footage of something moving in the basement.

Good to know.

I have never really experienced anything spooky first hand as such, but i do believe there's ghosts and that spirits leave a print . But i find it incredibly hard to believe you can communicate with them , i think what you see is just a replay .
