i'm trying not to, but sometimes it's stronger than me. I'm scared with those kind of things.

I have always wondered if the people who do believe in ghost don't find it quite coincidental that ghosts always appear when they are alone. It also seems kind of strange that they apparently don't consider the fact that only those who believe in them sees them on a regular basis while others don't.


Quite coincidental indeed.

I don't believe I know ghosts are real. I'll never forget the experience I had. You think there is thousands of ghost experiences and hundreds of haunted places and it's all made up? No.

Short answer?  Infrasound.

http://www.cracked.com/article_18828_the-creepy-scientific-explanation-behind-ghost-sightings.html


If that were true how come we don't see an increase of ghost sighting around wind farms?

 

How do you know if there is an increase or not ? I am not aware of any reliable data regarding ghost sightings.

 

 

To the question. No I don't believe in ghosts. Humans are unreliable witnesses and how we perceive the world is not absolute. Aslong as nobody measures a ghost and produces quantifiable results its all fairytails to me. 

 


well if infrasounds are causing mind tricks on your brain surely their be ghost reportings.

I work in the electricity industry and the only complaints we get from wind farms near people's houses. Most who complain, complain about health issues and not one has said they seen ghosts.

Not sure if i do or not, but i have seen this strange figure that has appeared on more than one occasion stood at the foot of the bed. I attribute this to waking from a deep sleep and still being in a state of dilusion, but it still scares the crap out of me every time. Do any VG charterz believe in ghosts? or seen something you cant explain.


It's all perfectly natural, man. Happens to almost everyone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis

 

Wikipedia writes:
Sleep paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either when falling asleep or wakening, temporarily experience an inability to move. More formally, it is a transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized by complete muscle atonia (muscle weakness). It can occur at sleep onset or upon awakening, and it is often associated with terrifying visions (e.g. an intruder in the room), to which one is unable to react due to paralysis. It is believed a result of disrupted REM sleep, which is normally characterized by complete muscle atonia that prevents individuals from acting out their dreams.

 

The Nightmare, by Henry Fuseli (1781) is thought to be one of the classic depictions of sleep paralysis perceived as a demonic visitation.

Sleep paralysis is the worst.  I get it very often and its always terryfing.  I've instructed my girlfriend to wake me up if it looks like I'm struggling while asleep....*shudders*

No. But athiests probably do. Anything that has to do with sci fi they are adamant about.


I am an athEIst. Thats right, spell it correctly.

And i do not believe in ghosts. Anything which currently has zero credible scientific evidence cannot even be considered to be true in my mind.
