Do you believe in ghosts? - Page 6

Dr. Johnny Fever · 10-29-2004, 08:50 AM

...or spirits from the netherworld...or at least that some kind of "energy" exists that we can't explain? Ever seen a ghost...heard anything go bump in the night? Ever felt a presence that you couldn't explain? Afraid of the dark, old empty houses, graveyards or being home alone?

Anyone got any ghost stories?

I believe there is something out there that exists between this life and the next "place" we go when we die. I don't know what it is...whether ghosts are real or just in our minds.

I do know that my wife and I were married in an old museum that is said to be haunted and there is a place on our wedding video that you can clearly hear footsteps on the stairs leading into the room we were married in. No one heard any footsteps during the ceremony though...and they're too loud to have been missed. We thought it may have been the photographer...but there are pictures taken at the moment of the footsteps that are in a totally different place. Not to mention everyone was seated and no one left or entered in the middle of the ceremony. We all could have seen them if they had.

I know that my wife, kids and I have all heard footsteps in our hallway and the pages of a newspaper being turned out in our living room early in the morning on various occasions. I know too that my youngest daughter hollered out to my wife and I after she went to bed one night and asked which one of us just walked past her room. We were both sitting in the living room watching tv at the time and neither of us had gotten up or walked anywhere. My daughter is absolutely positive one of us walked by her room and into our room though. I even had to get up and go search to convince her that no one was in there. The good thing is she wassn't even scared. I also know that once we took the nameplate of the former owners off of our front door, these things seem to have all but stopped.

Here's a pretty cool story someone sent me with a pic on the next post...

> On November 19, 1995, Wem Town Hall in Shropshire, England burned to the
ground. Many spectators gathered to watch the old building, built in 1905,
as it was being consumed by the flames. Tony O'Rahilly, a local resident,
was one of those onlookers and took photos of the spectacle with a 200mm
telephoto lens from across the street. One of those photos shows what looks
like a small, partially transparent girl standing in the doorway. Nether
O'Rahilly nor any of the other onlookers or firefighters recalled seeing the
girl there.
>
> O'Rahilly submitted the photo to the Association for the Scientific Study
of Anomalous Phenomena which, in turn, presented it for analysis to Dr.
Vernon Harrison, a photographic expert and former president of the Royal
Photographic Society. Harrison carefully examined both the print and the
original negative, and concluded that it was genuine. "The negative is a
straightforward piece of black-and-white work and shows no sign of having
been tampered with," Harrison said.
>
> But who is the little girl? Wem, a quiet market town in northern
Shropshire, had been ravaged by fire in the past. In 1677, historical
records note, a fire destroyed many of the town's old timber houses. A young
girl named Jane Churm, the legends say, accidentally set fire to a thatched
roof with a candle. Many believed her ghost haunted the area and had been
seen on a few other occasions

Well, it's been years since I've been there...

Having no knowledge of any construction or remodeling done to the airfield- all of the activities took place around the old hangar on the west side of the airfield.

There is the corporate airpark on the east and southeast side of the field, and then there's the reserve hangar by the tower on the west side of the airport. That is supposedly where this ghost (Commander) had flown his plane into during a mission back in the 40's.

There's definately something there....No fear- he's not a poltergeist or a mean ghost. He's just wandering around letting you know he exists in various ways.

I put up with him for three years...I think you could enjoy it for a single night.

Ghosts? Nope. Spirits/souls of once-living people? Yes. Do they interact with other humans/haunt houses? No. Are there demonic forces in this world that can do stuff? Yes.

When people take a picture of things and get these weird images to appear on them, is it a spirit or something else? Nope... I've seen these ghost hunters take pictures and get streaks and spheres and stuff like that on their film...I've seen the same effect with bad cameras, pieces of dust and water droplets on the lense. Faces and other things are a bit harder to explain (thought not impossible to), but by the simple fact of how cameras work they're not going to pick up anything that we can't see with our own eyes.

And when it comes to feelings and things that go bump in the night, it all depends: If you presuppose that ghosts haunt places, then you're going to be open to the thought and explanation that the noises and stuff are ghosts. If you don't presuppose it, then you're going to find another explanation.

I did a Google image search for "ghosts" and this is what I came up with. How can you ghost doubters explain this?

**Dartgod** · 10-29-2004, 03:43 PM

Here's a pretty creepy video of a ghost here. Watch closely..

I think ghosts are probably bullshit. The fabrication of overactive imaginations. I have an INCREDIBLY overactive imagination and even I have never seen anything to make me believe in ghosts...

OH SHIT WHATS THAT NOISE!!!!!!!

Demonpenz · 10-29-2004, 05:18 PM

We have this house near by that is supposed to be haunted. I used to stay over there when i was little, one day I walked into the room and i saw an imprint of a bed rise up like someone was getting out of the bed, but yet no one was around. Then like one day we heard a bang at 1 am and a marble 200 pound table got tipped over for no reason at all. The way it was tipped over freaked me out. But then again, i smoke alot of drugs
