torsoboy · Jul 28, 2006, 10:49 PM

very cool. I have no problems believing in ghosts, but I don't want to see one myself.

Dark Helmet · Jul 28, 2006, 11:22 PM

I don't trust the footage of stuff moving, that can be easily faked.

hickey · Jul 28, 2006, 11:46 PM

I belive in ghosts.

We have a ghost cat in our apartment, we hear meows sometimes, and once we found cat food.

Buckaroo · Jul 28, 2006, 11:48 PM

It's all fake.

Eug · Jul 29, 2006, 12:06 AM

I believe in goats too.

Apple Pro Underwear · Jul 29, 2006, 12:06 AM

this is one of those things where it's better to JUST NOT KNOW

olePigeon · Jul 29, 2006, 12:28 AM

All of it looked very fake. I'd LOVE for some weird **** to happen, it'd make things a little more interesting. It just doesn't ever happen to me.

(Except once)

Exactly. I'd consider believing in ghosts, aliens etc if something completely inexplicable happened to me. Unfortunately such things only ever appear to happen to the impressionable and the stupid.

Pendergast · 12:35 PM

I had a good laugh for the first 12 minutes. I will watch the rest later (don't want to spoil the fun).

So far, all those so-called manifestations look staged. watch how the little girl is sitting at the table, while the chair moves upward, and the girl is not moving an inch.

Also, there are so many incongruent behaviors from the victims. The photographer on the first part is trying to "rush out" of the ceiling, with that cord attached around his neck. Yet, he stays there, under the entrance to the attic, to calmy explain how the rope was twisting around his neck... Had it happened to me, I'd be out of the house... or hunting the joker down.
More comments later when I'll be back.

C.A.T.S. CEO · Jul 29, 2006, 10:49 AM

some of it might be faked but the lady in the window can't be faked

I have 2 ghosts in our house both cats

mac128k-1984 · Jul 29, 2006, 10:58 AM

40 minutes wow, can you at least tell me where in that excessivly long video where the ghosts show up.

amsalpemkcus · Jul 29, 2006, 11:02 AM

Your imagination is your true ghost.

IceEnclosure · Jul 29, 2006, 11:07 AM

three claimed ghosts in this thread, and they're all cats????

Salty · Jul 29, 2006, 05:34 PM

The two young children of a former pastor of mine were talking.
Chloe: Wesley there was a man in my room last night!
Wesley: What?
Chloe: Yah he had a green face and he was a scary monster!
Wesley: No Chloe there's no such thing as monsters God didn't make monsters
(Their mother sighs at how cute it all is)
Wesley: He did make demons though!

Seriously though I don't believe for an instant that people just wander around on earth after they die screwing with the living. That said I do believe that super natural crap happens, I've only ever had an encounter myself with a demon, scared the crap out of me! Fortunately it only lasted for less than half an hour, when I picked up my bible and whimpered "in the name of Jesus Christ... go away..." then I looked around wondering if it worked haha. I always thought I'd be more forceful. But honestly I was worried about someone in the next room hearing me and thinking I was crazy!

brassplayersrock² · Jul 29, 2006, 05:52 PM

good find ceo, i highly enjoyed this video

Doofy · Jul 29, 2006, 06:19 PM

Not watched the vid but have seen a ghost. For real. And was with an independent witness who also saw it.

Secret: Ghosts aren't dead. They're actually still living in their own time frame. Whenever you see one, time has actually leaked over from one place to another. Like bleed from one track of a multitrack tape deck to another.

hyteckit · Jul 29, 2006, 06:26 PM

I don't believe in ghost. But the video is interested though. I think it when they mention how a ghost floats, but you hear footsteps. Or how a ghost is dead, but you hear heart beats. The best one was when the little girl is just sitting on a chair and calmly doing homework on the table, while the ghost is messing with her chair and table. Brave little girl.

I have a theory that all ghosts are 4D people jest like one of us but with one extra dimension
I also believe that we are ghosts of 2D people.
don't call me crazy, this is all rooted in scientific fact

Interesting theory. Could that mean that the "ghost" you saw was also seeing you and your fellow witness as ghosts?

lpkmckenna · Jul 29, 2006, 09:02 PM

The vid is interesting. Early on, a women mentioned a feeling of paralysis in bed. This phenomenon, called "hag-ridden," is also mentioned in UFO abduction stories.

I've experienced "sleep paralysis" a couple of times: waking up in the middle of a nightmare, full of anxiety, unable to move. Scary experience.

Kerrigan · Jul 29, 2006, 09:07 PM

Modifying an empirical question asked by David Hume:

What is more likely, that people come back from the dead and haunt us, or that people are making up stories about this happening?

Ya me too actually. It's happened to me a couple of times, and it's usually accompanied by a feeling that a ghost or something is in the room with you. In fact, this happens to almost everyone at least once during their lives, but all too often people actually think that a real ghost/alien is in the room, not realizing that it's just a trick being played on your senses.

Same here. Creepy feeling.

In my particular instance, I don't think so (it seemed oblivious). However, if my theory is correct there's no reason why it couldn't happen.

Doofy · Jul 29, 2006, 09:44 PM

I'll attempt to explain my theory a little better.

I don't believe that time exists as a linear entity. We only perceive it as such, because that's the way we're designed (and let's not get into evo/ID arguments here).

In short, all time is happening right now, at this moment. Every moment contains eternity - everything that has happened and everything that will happen.

Imagine a multi-track tape deck with an infinite number of tracks. We think we're moving forwards along the tape but in fact we're moving sideways, along the tracks (In Logic/Garageband terms, we're not moving from left to right, we're moving down).

Thus, ghosts are simply "bleed" from one time period to another. They're not supposed to be there but a slight error in the space/time continuum allowed them to bleed through.

Further considerations: Ghostly objects (were never alive in the first place, so can't be dead), deja-vu, fortune tellers (the real ones, not the charlatans).

Theory not to be considered for poltergeist and other active entities, which are probably something completely different.

Kerrigan · Jul 29, 2006, 09:50 PM

What leads you to believe that?

Doofy · Jul 29, 2006, 09:55 PM

Long baths.

mitchell_pgh · Jul 29, 2006, 10:02 PM

My sister has eerily predicted the passing of two family members. The most scary prediction was her coming to the breakfast table indicating that our aunt came to her bedside to say that everything was OK, and that she was at peace.

About an hour later, we received the call that the aunt had passed away in the night.

freudling · Jul 29, 2006, 10:14 PM

I am scared. Good old fashioned Aristotlean coincidence.

smacintush · Jul 29, 2006, 10:18 PM

I predicted my Father's and Uncle's deaths about sixth months ahead of time. I chalked it up to coincidence.

Kerrigan · Jul 29, 2006, 10:58 PM

I believe there are two problems with people who believe in these types of things:

1) Consider the source. Someone who makes a prediction that a person is going to die, whether weeks or years in advance, is obviously someone who already has a totally unfounded belief in the supernatural power of prediction. This type of person is therefore not very reliable when it comes to reporting the details of his experience.

2) It may very well be that a friend or a relative is nearing death, and I'm willing to bet that there are usually subtle signs, perceptible or imperceptible, that this person is about to die. John Smith may have a sense of urgent dissatisfaction with his life, and people pick up on this when they talk to him, and as a result these people themselves start to get mildly depressed when they think about him, and they may think that he is on the verge of death. Then a few days later John Smith's car runs of the road and they think "I predicted it".

Or as is more often the case, someone who is prone to sickness suddenly falls ill and people start predicting right away that this is it, he is about to die. He dies and this confirms the so-called "prediction".

Certainly there are a lot of mysterious cases, like mitchell's where the prediction occurred the day before, and the death was unexpected. I know someone who died in her sleep and her parents found in her diary that the night before, she had written about how she wanted to be called into heaven in order to serve god. But really, when you consider that millions of people die each year, there are bound to be loads of incidents in which the circumstances seem to have a paranormal quality.

I always find it strange that no skeptics I know ever have supernatural phenomena occur around them. Somehow inexplicable things only happen when there's no skeptic around to explain them.

The professionals have skeptics with them

Yeah, I really trust Most Haunted's "skeptics." They're like black people in the KKK.

most of all ghosts aren't evil
but the vid was about the evil ones
