Paranormal Events

Aliens possibly, the others maybe in the distant fufture. Infinity? If the universe is infinite, then all things would be happening at once, as they are obviously not, it is concluded, no? Much the same as infinite parralel universes, or time travel.

There is the posibility of ghosts existing in some kind of electro-magnetic form. The human body kicks off a great deal of said energy, and the world has a strong field of the same, maybe there is a kind of pseudo-electric fingerprint left behind, but if there's any type of cognitive ability, then why is it not common knowledge?

Wow and no. Our universe is about 14 billion years old (or 6000, who knows). It has been expanding that entire time. Something which is already infinte in size can't, by definition, expand.

Oh and to relpy to the OP I don't believe in any supernatural stuff. As for aliens, the fact that we exsist implies that life must exsist outside of our planet just from a statistical POV IMHO.



I would go completey the opposite way and say that the image of a grey 4 limbed large eyed creature is far too close to us to be a 'typical' alien. I'm not saying that there can't be aliens like that but we are carbon based lifeforms which are 60% water and look at the variety of life that exsists on Earth. Aliens don't have to breath oxygen or survive on water nessesary to live so their appearence could be considered ridiculously strange to us.

Don't agree that you know the universe is expanding, we've had this conversation in the past and all we have is a very small percent of the universe to go on, so no more claims that can't be proven please. But I do agree that alien life is much more likely to take another form; I would say that the simpler forms of life, such as yeast or fungi etc. are actually quite common, but we simply haven't had enough time to find them.

Darn. I though this thread was going to be about people's various paranormal experiences , but instead, it's dumb arguing. Recently I've been thinking about tornadoes, and then some tornadoes came. I think I can summon them.

(Also, what do people mean by not believing in ghosts? It's obvious they exist, the question is what exactly they are.)

By "what they are" I meant what causes the phenomenon. Sorry for the confusion.

Agreed.THAT is why I made this thread in the first place.Almost everybody's got a a ghost story or two or just any paranormal experience.I would really like to hear your experiences with this stuff.If you didn't have one,I'm sure one of your friends had.

Explain how people have caught pictures of ghosts then :p

And by the way, I actually have had a teacher take a picture of a ghost. We were sitting on a wall in Gettysburg, when she took a picture (we were on a field trip :p). She showed it to me on the bus later, and there was a ghost below a person's feet (it looked like a reflection, but it was multiple feet below where reflectors would be on a person's shoes)

Pics or it didn't happen.
 
On topic, everything beyond aliens is nonsense.

The idea that NOTHING is out there in all that space is just ridiculous.

EDIT: I double posted for a reason.

Premise 1: A picture with an unexplained blur exists
Premise 2:
Premise 3:
Premise 4:
Premise 5:
Premise 6:
Conclusion: Ghosts exist.

You'll have to do a lot more filling in the blanks before we can begin to assess your logic ;)

So,do you believe in ghosts or something of a similar form?Do you believe in aliens or any other form of life that could be out there?

Is there any evidence that such things exist?
(As for aliens, I am agnostic on their existance.)

I mean that chances are that the process of evolution would more than likely lead to something that is more similar to us than we'd like to imagine. I just don't see how anything could look like something we have made for ourselves. (think an imaginary friend).I have to admit that what I said weakens my previous statement slightly but I still stand by that concept.


Now for a ghost story and another (sort of):
One day I was at my elementary school after most of the teachers left (my mom worked there and had to stay a little later so I was bored). I decided to go ahead and walk around the halls. I was passing by my 2nd grade classroom and I noticed that the door was open but the lights were off, so I passed by and looked in and saw a woman in white clothes looking at a book. Now I have to say I didn't think anything of it at the moment being that I was 9 so kept walking a few feet but stopped as it was near the end of the hall. I turned around walking back and looked into the class again and didn't see anyone and the room was still dark. I have to honestly say that It wasn't until a few minutes later that realized that something was wrong with that entire scene. I hadn't gone far enough to have not heard someone leaving the room, there was no one else in the area, and when I turned around the hallway was empty. I soon came to the conclusion that what I had seen was possibly a ghost (even though I didn't want to believe that.).(Believe what you will that's what I saw).

Now for a "sort of ghost story":
I was in 5th grade and had already mostly forgotten about what I saw a couple of years back, and I decided to make a poorly thought out ghost story in which an old library had been destroyed in a storm killing the librarian inside and that all this happened on the land the school was built on.Now someone obviously was gullible enough to believe it and the story was soon distorted to be that the woman who's picture was in the library haunted our school (the woman the school was named for.)
(This next part is unclear as I happened to be out of school when this happened). Apparently when the power went out in the school and two girls went the restroom (at different times). Now they both looked into the mirror thought they saw the ghost from my distorted story and fainted. So I laughed and that was the end. (oh and it wasn't a ghost it was a cutout of a man on a gondola.

I was disappointed when I found out what this thread was about. When I read the title, I was hoping it would be about events like the following:

1. Telepathic team BLD
2. Match the scramble in the adjacent room
3. UFO solves in a UFO

I feel like nobody noticed how much win this post contains. That's a pity.


I'm the kind of person who only believes in something if there's reasonable evidence to suggest it. The way people normally talk about the paranormal, it's just not plausible - stories of weird shadows, creepy feelings, alien abductions, occult ceremonies, ESP, etc. can be explained pretty well by sensory misinterpretations, delusions/mass hysteria, incorrect memories, and magic tricks. There just isn't scientific evidence that suggests that these things are true.

However, several "paranormal" ideas are entirely plausible, just not quite in the way people think of them. Aliens (as in, intelligent organisms living somewhere other than Earth) almost certainly exist. Telepathy (as in, being able to know what someone else is thinking) will almost certainly be possible in the future through technology, as we develop better 3D imaging techniques, like the MRI, and understand the brain in more detail. Telekinesis (as in, moving an object without physically touching it) will also almost certainly be possible in the future through technology, since we're already working on machines that can operate based on someone's thoughts, and we already know how to affect an object using only electromagnetic waves and fields. Cryptids (animals unrecognized by science, such as Bigfoot) could potentially exist, although it would be very unlikely considering the amount of effort people have spent trying to find them. So in a way a lot of this depends on how much you're willing to expand your definitions, and on how long you're willing to wait.
