ghosts or paranormal experiences?

[ayjay]

hi to all of the sparkies on here, i once worked at a place called bloxworth house (as a lad btw) i used to ride my bsa 500 m/cycle to and fro--
a very old house built in the 16th century ,we rewired it in micc
there were 4 rooms upstairs via an old spiral wooden staircase, i went upstairs for a mootch in my lunch break
one of the 4 rooms was icy cold and filled me with dread-as if something terrible had happened
ive been told other stories from fellow sparkies and tradesmen about similar things

Not knocking believers of the supernatural, because who really knows...

All i can say is, and IMO that 99% of the time its the mind playing tricks.

One occurance ive had...was house-sitting a 16/17th century farm house when i was a lad with my gf for a family friend at the weekend...On the saturday night, we were sat in the living room just chilling and talking (about midnight) i opened the living room door and in the porch was their black lab...he normally looked and followed you everywhere, when i opened the door the dog didn't even move it was just staring up the stairs wagging its tail. I even said its name and it didn't look at me, which for that dog was very very weird.

Anyway, found out the next week that the dudes dad had died the previous year and his ashes were upstairs in the house somewhere, the house he'd lived in all his life.

Makes you think, but i still don't believe - sorry lol.

I've had a couple of experiences. The one that still shakes me when I think about it was when I was in a very old pub (not working), the gents were down a set of cold stone steps. On my way back up I saw someone coming down so I had to move right to one side. Anyway, this figure just walked straight through me. I was white as a sheet when I emerged into the pub. And there was nobody in the toilets.

good posts fellas theres def another parallell to our existance

I agree. Had doors open in my old house (some were very stiff too), glasses just slid off the kitchen side while watching and have smashed on the floor with 3 people as witnesses. At work sometimes the reception bell rings (small hand bell) but only once which you don't get normally, when the door hasn't opened and no one else is in the building apart from a couple of us both in the same room. We've also had a brand new co2 gas bottle in the bar cellar open up and taps turn on unexpectedly while you're in the room. And the glasswash turn itself off at the socket when no one else is present too. Kinda become a running joke at work now because so much weird **** happens

Im not convinced ayjay but each to their own. I think theres definitley extra-terrestrials out there somewhere...but ghosts im not to sure. Maybe one day ill change my mind

I think there are many people in the world who genuinely believe in these apparitions

As far as I am concerned,if they don't interfere with me in any way,these people should be left to believe in whatever Ghost/Paranormal/Sorcerry or Religeous mind games they chose

Completley agree...im abit of a space-freak myself. If driving late at night after shop re-fits or whatever, i often, especially when in the countryside stop and get out and stare at the stars...they're absolutley fascinating ( i am a geek i do realise )

The size of space is just mind-boggling and to think we're the only living beings on our tiny planet, when the size of space is never ending is too hard to believe. That's why im convinved theres something else out there - something so far away we'll never ever get too see it mind you, but they must be something there somewhere.

As for ghosts, i don't believe - Paranormal enthusiasts may not believe in the ET theory, so i can't judge them. I agree they're weird goings on in life - but too me thats all they are, weird goings on untill im lead to believe otherwise. The mind is powerfull though, and i honestly believe alot of what people think they see and hear is down to the old noggin playing tricks on themselves. I do like to hear peoples stories though, they're intersting - as for them Derek Acorah ghost hunt things...yawn.

The Drake equation gets to give one almighty number
Marc your a man of my own thoughts,cosmology is my passion

How can people dwell on such things of just this Earth, like the paranormal, and especially religion with its hoards of fanatics both sad and dangerous, when there is so much out there,it stirs the question how insignificant is this planet and its occupants

 

[markc123]

Aye it does, and the drake's just for our galaxy isn't it ?

Yeah, the planet is pretty insignificant, like many people say we're the size of a grain of sand compared to the above&beyond. So many questions, and so little answers. Did you watch professor brain coz's series last year about the stars ? fascinating.

When i was in Tenerife on one of them package holidays there was a star-gazing trip on the top of Mt.Teide, the partner thought i was nuts but loved it...got shown the ISS and i could of sat they're all night mesmerised by the fact people were up there, would absolutley love to go to space.

This video shows one of the wonders that shouldn't fail to astonish even those with little interest in space awareness

The last one...a billion times bigger than our sun.

And thats only the largest one ever discovered, our telescopes can see like 0.00000000001% of space, so they'll be even bigger sun's than that our their somewhere. It's absolutley amazing.

I need to go to some sort of cosmology anonomus because i could literally talk for hours about it, so fascinating.
