Do you believe in the Paranormal??

[calm like a bomb]

Yeah, kind of off the wall, I know. I was reading the mothman thread and it made me ask myself if I believed in ghosts, people being possessed, etc. Personally, I wouldn't say that I have ever seen a ghost or a haunting take place, but I also wouldn't say that I don't believe in the paranormal. I would like to see what the majority of people say about this subject........and any ghost stories you have heard that make your hair stand on end, feel free to share:thumb:

Anyone that has seen the Ghost Hunters episodes of the Stanely Hotel or the light house in florida has got to believe!:scared:

[oldrambler]

No, I do not believe in ghost. I do believe that there are angels amoungst us and looking out for us all the time.

 

By the way, welcome to the site cam. I can tell by your # of post that you are fairly new.

I watched a Ghost Hunters show and they did a thing on the old TB hospital in Louisville and I have to say that it made me think. I'm gonna take a trip up there this summer hopefully

I believe in ghosts. Two of my friends houses are haunted.

Have had a couple experiences and so has my mother. So I do believe and though Ghost Hunters is very tacky and stupid at times, I know it is for TV, but I do like the show and believe in most of it.

I didnt believe in anything paranormal until a year ago when my buddy died. A couple strange things happened that made me change my mind about it.

[ram2003]

Do I believe?

Not at the moment.

 

Am I open-minded about it?

Yes I am.

 

I'm very interested in all that crazy paranormal stuff, but I've never experienced anything that couldn't be explained with a little logic, or was likely just a trick of light. I'd easily get paid to spend the night in a supposedly haunted house or something like that.

I don't believe in ghosts or spirits. I've never seen or heard anything out of the ordinary in my 52 years. If I ever do then I'll change my belifs on the subject.

My dad lived to be 81 and loved to hunt. He was a fox hunter, which I could never actually understand because all he and his hunting buddies did was listen to the dogs run the fox, they didn't really 'hunt' anything. He hunted about 4 nights a week on the average and usually camped out all night. Sometimes his group camped out close to grave yards, sometimes near churches, etc. He said he never saw or heard anything. One night some of his buddies thought they saw a ghost in an old abandoned church. Dad went and checked it out, and it was a white drape hanging on a chandelier. A storm was brewing, and when it would lightening, the flash would shine on the moving drape as it moved in the wind (the glass was long gone from the church windows). So he returned to the other hunters, who refused to go with him, to tell what their 'ghost' was. He said if he hadn't checked it out that his buddies would probably started a big tell about a ghost in the old church.

IMO, I think there is always an answer to these paranormal stories if one is willing to search long enough. Harry Houdini proved many years ago that most of them are simply lies and hoaxies.

Definitely believe. When my Grandmother was in the hospital she told my cousin that she was going to be going soon. She really wasn't that sick, so my cousin says " How do you know?" My Grandmother tells her " don't you see Aunt Ellie (who had been dead for 5 years) and your mother ( my cousin's mother, who had been dead for 8 years, my grandmother's daughter) waiting for me at the end of the bed...................My Grandmother died that evening after all of her living kids could come tell her goodbye.

It's not a ghost story I guess, but the creepiest story I have ever heard was told to me by my dad, it goes like this: My Grandma lived out in the country in rural Breathitt Co. She had two neighbors, a woman who lived on either side of her. All three of the women shared water from a well in front of my grandmothers house. Well, one day my grandmother said she saw one of her neighbors (who was pregnant), laughing and making fun of the other neighbor because she was physically impaired and was missing her right hand. The woman was making fun of her because she couldn't draw water from the well with only one hand. My Grandma told my dad that the woman with one hand began "cursing" the woman, and about 3 months later, that pregnant woman's baby was born perfectly healthy but with no right hand. I'm sure the pregnant woman just had some kind of deficiency that caused a birth defect, but my dad always used this as an example as not to make fun of people who are different than yourself.

BigBlueFreak, my girlfriend visited that hospital last Halloween and she said it was really creepy, but she didn't see anything that scared her bad, and she is a huge baby, lol.
