Paranormal.

hrvatka; dreamer.:

I'm not believing that research, not matter how many times you call me *unqualified*.

I didnt' have to call you unqualified, you said that yourself. :shifty

What logical reason do you have for not believing the research, aside from that fact that statistics can be twistied, seeing as how you said you didn't investigate anything to see if the statistics were or not?

-headdesk-

My personal experience with it and stories I've been told. End of story.

I just have one question..

Why is it okay to believe statistics and not do any research except for the fact that "so and so said so" but it's not okay to not believe it without doing research?

And what makes you think I didn't do research? :shifty

I didn't say you didn't but obviously Tas has reasons to not believe them and apparently her reasonings aren't good enough just because she's "unqualified"

So you don't think it requires qualifications to decide if a medication works or not? Anyone can do it? And to think of all those people wasting years in medical school...

I have a lot of Déjà vu experiences:
I have on at least twice a week.
The worst was when my friend broke her arm. It was at the park, and she was wearing her yellow shirt with the skeleton on it, and she fell on the red monkey-bars.
I had a dream about that happening the week before.
The day it happened we were wearing the same exact things in my dream.
AHHHH.
It’s so weird to think about, I wish we had all the answers.

Considering if you take medication and nothing happens, yeah, I do think you don't need to be qualified for that.

I get that alot, too. Almost every day I'll be doing something, or talking about something and I'll have this overwhelming feeling that I've done it before, when I know I haven't. It's so weird. I was watching this movie one time with my mom that I had never seen before, and I kept thinking to myself, "I've already done this". If I dreamt about it, I don't remember. I'll forget completely what I dream about sometimes.

Firstly - would it be a very silly thing to do to try and get my hands on a ouija board?

I am fascinated by the paranormal, and would very much like to have a go with one, but my grandma had a rather bad experience with one at about my age, and has discouraged me from it. I've also heard some things about them releasing 'bad spirits' into places, making seemingly non-haunted houses haunted etc, and while in theory it would probably be more interesting if my house had a couple of noticable spirits knocking about the place, I can't help but think in reality I would be scared shitless.

Having said that, I'm still pretty curious about it.

Apart from that, the only 'paranormal' experience that I have apparently had is one that I can't remeber, from when I was a toddler, concerning a man "with yellow hair" that I was convinced was standing in my parent's bedroom, who my mum couldn't see. I also regularly get... 'senses' of things apart to happen. For example, one evening I was going to a resteraunt for a meal with a fairly large group of my family. That day I had the feeling (although it's pretty vague evidence, I know)that something... wrong, was around the corner, and although i was with my friends and supposed to be having a good time, i really didn't feel like socialising. That evening we went to the resteraunt(well... more of a Gastropub), and as soon as i walked in, i really didn't want to be there. Something about it, ordinary and nicely-lit and full of happy, eating people though it was, made me feel very uncomfortable. During the meal i got up to go to the toilet, and had this feeling especially while in there, including a feeling as soon as i went through the door that i couldn't explain at that point that i needed to get out of there and get back to the table (this sounds easily exaggerated looking back, but seriously, i propped the door to the ladies toilets open to the hallway, and didn't dry my hands after washing them as quickly as possible, wiping them on my jeans as i practically ran out of there. These things i remeber as fact.)
When i got back, i remember people laughing slightly at my grandad who had gone very tired, apparently just as i was walking back to the table. He slumped in his chair, and people soon realised that it wasn't just tiredness - he had collapsed. He went frighteningly pale, and everyone suddenly stopped smiling and leapt up to see if he was okay. We called an ambulance and he came round within about five minutes.

I personally think it was some kind of foresight, but i know that a lot of people would say it was bullshit. It's not the only time it has happened, either, but this was the most recent and most strong occurence of it. I get a bad feeling about some places (it can be rooms, buildings, even the entire city of Sheffield - and I've been enough times to know it's not just days when i'm in a funny mood), and they make me feel as if i want to get out as soon as possible, or as if something is waiting for me just around the corner.

It felt demonic. I told my mom about it and she said other people have reported the same thing.

First it was this black shape near the window and then it moved so it was over me. I said the Lord's Prayer over and over in my head until it left. I couldn't see the details of it, but I could see it and I could see it move.

Yes, it was a demon. It was just a shape? It didn't have a figure?

Do people experience these in your family? People in my family do sometimes.
It feels like a sense of dread, right? The feeling may be different to different people.

I wonder why he/she/it visited you.

Ah. The concept to time.

That we have already lived.

I love how my teacher tried to explain it to me.

Time is made by man.
True time is the past, the present and the future rolled into one.

That is only one opinion, obviously. It is just such a hard concept to grasp.

The idea we may have already lived, but yet are living.

When I was a little kid my mom and I moved to a flat in London to live with my [step]dad and my [step]sister. When I was six or seven-years-old I had this imaginary friend called Ed. He wasn't much of friend because I was really scared of him, like scared out of my mind. I have an intense fear of the dark but I always wanted to sleep with the light off because I didn't want to be able to see him. As it turns out, Ed once lived in my old London flat in my old bedroom and he hung himself in there back in 1947. But being a little kid, I didn't know that and only found out recently.
I think that children are more open to the paranormal or that they pick up on it easier and quicker than adults; it's probably all of that new brain tissue that dies off as you get older or something. I don't know, life is weirdsometimes a lot of the time.

A few years back, for a period of six months strange things used to happen at Haggii's house, but since we made a few changes some have ceased.
The weirdest one was when picture was cut off the wall, nonone was in the room becasue we'd just left it and to get in there somone would have had to come through the room we were in.
But objects kept disapearing, and we could hear a lady murmuring in her mum's room.
Things still happen there which we can't explain.
That spare room still scares the crap out of me.
But a murder and two suicides happened in her house; it's over a hundred years old.

I agree 100% with that, when I was about 2/3 my Grandad died, and after his death when I was at my nans I suposedly saw him. I had no knowledge of this, my mum told me a few years ago. She told me that when I came back from my nans she was tucking me into bed and I told her I saw him, knowing full well he'd passed on my mum humoured me and asked when and where, I told her he was sitting on my Nan's bed stroking the cat and he told me not to worry he was in a better place. When my mum told me I broke down into tears, I have a faint recolection of this, which is scary because I only have a faint memory of my grandad himself. I just thought I'd share that with you guys, one of my paranormal experiences.

Children are definately more open to experiencing the paranormal. They are young, and have new eyes. They do not realize what they are seeing, especially as infants. They can see a family member that they have never met in their life, and had no clue that they existed, but they will still know their name. It comes as a shock to parents, but to some, not surprising. It depends on how open the parental figures are to the paranormal.

Well, I don't believe in ghosts, persay, but a few years back, my family and I were visiting an old fort near my house, and there were all these rooms underneath the actual fort that were used to house explosives. Anyway, we were walking through these hallways and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a boy run past me. I thought it was one of my brothers so I started to chase him. He went into one of the rooms and I followed him ( I still thought it was one of my brothers), but as soon as I got in the room, there was no one there. Then I saw him again, and it was a young guy, looked to be in his mid-teens, with a civil war era uniform on. It was creepy.

I also get premonitions too. It can be odd.

It's hard to say that you don't believe in ghosts when you witnessed one with your own eyes.

I DON'T believe in ghosts. In the Bible, a man dies and goes to hell. He asks God if he can come back and warn his brothers not to sin, and God says no. So I don't think God allows spirits to come back to earth.

I do believe that demons can take on the forms of human spirits.

I have deja vu all the time, maybe 2 times a day, like my friend falling over going up stairs, that happened.
I can also tell what someone is going to do next and what they are going to say, I just think it and it happens, not always, but most of the time.

I've constantly got déja vu. I often predict a lot of things. Like once I drew a picture of a hufe tidal wave hitting a city. Months later, that tsunami hit Indonesia.

i scare myself sometimes.

Well, I can't say I agree with you on that one. I am not one to follow the Bible. People may say that God had talked to man who wrote it, but I think it's total bull. It's a book that has been changed around constantly for hundreds of years.

Plus, God is obviously a spirit, and people claim that he visits them. If he didn't allow spirits to come back to Earth, then he wouldn't be able to visit us, either. What about angels? There are guardian angels. They are spirits, too.

Once again, I don't believe in demons. I believe in negative entities, but not demonds.
