I don't believe in ghosts as such....my Grandad was a grave digger and used to have to dig graves in the middle of the night for early morning funerals and he always said to us "you should never fear the dead, its the living who'll hurt you". Before he died he told me he would come back and let mw know if there was anything "on the other side". I spent the first 6 months after he died barely sleeping in case I woke up to him sat on the end of my bed
After he died though, there was sometimes a smell of cigarette smoke in the house - none of us smoked but he used to when he came to stay with us. I've smelt my mums perfume too but I don't know whether thats just wishful thinking

I've always kept an open mind on this.
There's things happened, I've been told about and things happen I've come across myself. For which there was no explanation for. This has left me with the more believing in it than not, yes. |

no of course not
anecdotal stories about ghosts are told by the teller to add status and make them seem more interesting, a very human trait often stories were told to keep children safe and away from dangerous things at night etc 3.55 Last edited by LeatherTrumpet; 30-09-2020 at 08:03 AM. |

I haven't ever said myself except in private conversation with another, things I've come across. Because there's always those who just dismiss, ridicule and put down those having any experiences. I'd guess if there are spirits, ghosts , whatever anyone wishes to term them, or anything from another existence. Then they'll have their reasons for making anything known to any physical being they visit. Equally their reasons for never going anywhere near any closed view sceptics. Until I was 15, I may have discounted things people have said. However as I said before, I've had things happen in my life, which have no real explanation to it. So my mind was opened in my later teens. Your post above Ammi sounds a very comforting set of instances of thought or who really knows, much more to them. I would guess too, if I may, that maybe those thoughts and words fly in from you not even thinking of the person at the time. I'll never forget after I lost my Grandmother I was devoted to. I was talking to some friends while at Uni, I'd just done really well in a particular part of the course. We were sitting in a park, I said, '' I wished my Grandmother could have been able to read how well I'd done ''. An elderly lady walking past, just smiled at us, and said, '' now how do you know she hasn't and can't see all you'll achieve''. It's a line that's stuck with me since. Now the cynics and those who just poo poo anything of the supernatural, will just dismiss that as fanciful madness. However that started to have me open my mind more. Then as I say, privately I've come across things, I can't explain and neither can others, other than just dismiss or ridicule. So I only talk about other instances privately. So as not to fuel, dismissiveness and it's all nonsense, when to others, it isn't or may be far from it. Even before I opened my own mind to this, while I doubted things people had said to me up to 15. I still listened to them, rather than just treat them as paranoid or insecure individuals, just because I at that time I didn't myself share their views from their experiences.

...the human of limits and measures dismissing something without limits and measures, eh Joey...such a strange notion... ...with your grandmother..?...she passed in the complete confidence and belief in you that you would always do well...so no reading that was ever necessary..because she knew..?...is I guess, the thing... |

I don't believe in ghosts because the human persona is so clearly (and demonstrably) linked to the physical and chemical structure of the brain. A "person" can be changed completely with chemicals or by a physical brain injury (either trauma, or a tumor, or deliberate i.e. lobotomy) SO it makes no sense that after the brain-meat has burned or rotted there's anything left of a personality... a "soul" that contains any aspect of the person it came from.
However on the wider "supernatural", I do believe in the possibility of overlapping dimensions, and also in the near-certainty that there's more to physical existence than can be perceived by human senses or observed with current human technology. I mean, that's basically just fact. So in that sense, it's possible that there are things in existence that we can't see or comprehend, and I guess also possible that those could "bleed over" in certain circumstances. It's not really "supernatural" though, just science we don't know yet. "Magic is just science that we don't understand yet", and all that stuff. |

Yeah, we’ve heard voices, seen figures walking through doorways, I’ve personally had something thrown at me out of nowhere, like has been said we get really strong wafts of loved ones aftershave and stuff, it’s creepy sometimes but we know who it is so it’s fine

My parents have actually been talking about having a psychic come in to see what they think, because they just want to see whether they say anything about it.

Could also be a small carbon monoxide leak if it's all in the same house.
That's not even a joke . |

I’m personally very sceptical about psychics, I think they throw out the vaguest things possible and hope something lands, but my parents believe in them and they were so freaked out by what they saw that they think it’s worth a shot
