Demons, Ghosts and Spirits? Do they exist...

[Vulpine]

Regarding the demon thing, i've always wanted to be a part of a Ouija board shin-dig. I just don't want to do it in my house and turn some demon loose in my crib.

No ƒucking way will I ever touch one of those things. Uh-uh, no how, no sir-ee-bob.

I have several dead peeps that I KNOW have some sh¡t they need to say.

If it's so important, they can get ahold of me. I don't need to know so bad that I need to get ahold of them.

 

[edger]

Oh yeah, they definitely do exist. My whole family(including myself) on both sides have a history of experiencing paranormal phenomena. I've witnessed and experienced things on a bunch of occassions, once with 2 friends. I'm absolutely 100% sure paranormal phenomena is real.

 

[ElStud]

Yeah, ghost are definitely real. I've never seen one up close, but there have been millions of reports of ghost sightings and several people that have actually encountered ghosts. Ghosts are usually people who died and have something on Earth that they don't want to let go of. Either that or there's something need to accomplish before they raise. I know one thing, I'd be spooked if I actually saw a real ghost. I've also heard a lot of stuff that shows that Ouija boards definitely DO work.

:crackup: Hahaha! Ghosts, demons, UFOs are all chick crack (i.e. things you should say you believe in if it'll get you laid). On any one of those clips in the first video I could've composited the same vapour effects in Final Cut, Motion and Shake. Notice that in every clip where a door opens or a chair or table moves the shot is conveniently cropped right before the floor or ceiling? Maybe so an off camera guy can pull the furniture or door? Ya think? Heheh,..what was the invisible ghost looking for in the pantry? Oreos? "Sunovab!tch, that damn ghost drank all my Rum again last night!"

Man, I'm inspired now. I'm going to start making my own ghost movies now.

Heh, I couldn't resist.

Let's assume ghosts realise they are ghosts - are you telling me not one has ever chosen to do something that would prove his existence? Go on Letterman or something.

I think it's because, contrary to popular opinion, they tend to haunt people rather than places. Which is why selling your house doesn't usually make sense. As if the ghost/demon can't freakin' follow you...

Most people that get troubled by this crap are involved with the occult somehow.

Yes, they've followed my aunt around from house to house for years. She's had the worst of experiences in my family, most recent(that I know of) being a little glass ornament shattering right in front of her eyes as it was sitting on her shelf.

wow, I found a pretty good one. it's not very long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qICNX2R_8s4&NR=1

[penkitten]

oh come on, hasn't anyone ever taken pictures somewhere that is claimed to be haunted only to see what might come up on your film?
even if you have never been encountered with something that one might think is a ghost, it is still somewhat intriguing because it is something so controversial.

 

[Nighthawk]

Name me one person that has been killed by a ghost. Ghosts are just pussies.

I hereby challenge all ghosts reading this to come and haunt me. Do your worst you spooky losers. Demons can suck my balls also.

Yo don't **** with demons man. Find Jesus Christ. I've seen Orthodox people do some exorcisms, I would not want to be possessed.

 

[Nighthawk]

YOU READING THIS DEMONS??? COME ON THEN I'LL FUCK YOU UP BIGTIME!

 

[Rata Blanca]

I find it fascinating how only people who believe in ghosts/demons had this experiences. Remember the mind is a very powerful thing.

Law 27: Play on People's Need to Believe to Create a Cultlike Following
People have an overwhelming desire to believe in something. Become the focal point of such desire by offering them a cause, a new faith to follow. Keep your words vague but full of promise; emphasize enthusiasm over rationality and clear thinking. Give your new disciples rituals to perform, ask them to make sacrifices on your behalf. In the absence of organized religion and grand causes, your new belief system will bring you untold power.

Anyone want to buy a Ghost in a Jar?

Before you can reach for the otherworldly, you must first rule out the ordinary.

KarmaSutra:
I can testify that this stuff is real. I'm a paranormal investigator... and I've had some very surreal instances a couple of times which have really tested my resolve. We did an investigation at the Baynard house here in Auburndale and our group set up in the old slaves quarters and each of us felt hot then extremely cold spots, I and another investigaor had our clothes/hair pulled by something unseen, we have an EVP which is faint but clear of something talking to us.

With all due respect, I'm sorry brotha but you've been duped. It's natural that you would be, since the human mind is error prone to believe in the supernatural, to not have all the best explanations readily available at the time of an encounter, and to be easily fooled.

Many people report physical changes in haunted places, especially a feeling of a presence accompanied by temperature drop and hearing unaccountable sounds. They are not imagining things. Most hauntings occur in old buildings, which tend to be drafty. Scientists who have investigated haunted places account for both the temperature changes and the sounds by finding physical sources of the drafts, such as empty spaces behind walls or currents set in motion by low frequency sound waves (infrasound) produced by such mundane objects as extraction fans.

Old buildings have thicker, more solid walls, which resonate better. And old abandoned castles and cellars often have no furniture to absorb sound waves. Infrasound would also help explain why reports of ghosts are often localized—why people sense a presence in just one part of a room. Infrasound tends to "pool"—it registers strongly in the spots where the peaks and troughs cancel each other out.

—Mary Roach, Spook: Science Tackles The Afterlife

"Haunted" houses often are plagued by faulty electrical wiring which causes hallucinations.

In a study published in 1988, [Michael] Persinger compared thirty-seven years of dated Fate magazine haunting reports with geo-magnetic activity for those dates. He found a nice correlation, and he wrote up his findings in Neuroscience Letters. In a similar study three years later, University of Iowa psychologists Walter and Steffani Randall examined monthly fluctuations in solar winds (which influence the earth's geomagnetics) to see if they mirrored monthly ups and downs in "humanoid hallucinations" culled from old Society for Psychical Research records. Indeed, both showed peaks in April and September, with a trough between.

Persinger then turned his attention to man-made electro-magnetic fields (EMFs). In 1996, a Sudbury coupe had contacted him about strange goings-on in their house. They heard breathing and whispering sounds and at one point felt something touching their feet as they lay in bed. The husband saw an apparition of a woman who appeared to move through the couple's bed. Persinger and two colleagues drove out to the house and set up equipment to monitor EMFs in the various rooms. True to his theory, the house was an electromagnetic free-for-all. Wires were poorly grounded and circuits over-loaded with electronic equipment. Not only were the EMFs most intense in the places where the couple had experienced their "ghosts", but they showed the telltale irregularities that Persinger has come to see as the hallmarks of haunt-prompting fields.

We have an EVP which is faint but clear of something talking to us.

EVPs are merely nothing more than fragmented radio transmissions.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Rollo Tomassi again.

."Haunted" houses often are plagued by faulty electrical wiring which causes hallucinations..

Can you expand on this? I don't believe in ghosts, however I have had one "unexplained" strange thing happen.

One time I was staying in a cheap road motel on a road trip. Checked in, went to the local pub and came back. When I got back, the bathroom light was on. No big deal..I turned it off and laid down in bed. Well, the f*cking light in the bathroom turned on again. So, I get up, and turn it off again. A couple of minutes later, the light goes on again.

So..I'm thinking wtf? I turn it off, then click it's back on. I gave up and crashed out.

The thing is, the light switch needed to be clicked in the UP position to turn it on.

To this day, nobody has been able to explain to me how a light switch can defy gravity and click in the UP position without assistance.
