Rules of this Forum
if you are going to make a bold statement, provide evidence or at least a logical explaination for them. most topics disscussed here have no right or wrong answer, so give a reason for your opinion.
Personal attacks of any kind will not be tolerated.
be respectful. acting like a munchkin will get you treated as such.
be supportive, although you may view one person's problem as trivial, to them, it may actually be a life or death issue.
sometimes, we all need to simply agree to disagree.
finally, there are no right or wrong answers, only opinions. so avoid the "you're wrong and are goig to burn in hell" or "well, you are just stupid" retorts when you don't like what someone has to say. no matter how hard you try, you cannot make someone agree with you if they don't see it that way.
Avoid intellectual dead-endsTry avoid using phrases like, "it's useless talking to you!" or "you are all one-sided and my opinions can't change you". Instead, follow the ways of socrates and try to INCREASE discussion by asking questions. Be OPEN-MINDED. This is just a forum and you are unlikely you will change anyone elses viewpoints, but you may learn a thing or two. Hypothetically accept viewpoints now and then for the sake of discussion and to fully understand their viewpoints.
Try to type on a level that's somewhat formal. Abreviations or slang words are not recommended because people will just not take you seriously.
Avoid cursing and slander.
DO reference your thoughts with links and outside references for people to peruse. That will encourage a sideways debate.
If a debate spurns a new side-debate, make a new thread, and be kind enough to link to the new thread.
Be DESCRIPTIVE in your topic descriptions.
PROOF-READ! Absolute correctness is not necessary, but people should at least get what you are saying.

I find this video online today was wondering if anyone else seen it I thought it was pretty freaking scary. ghosts and spirits I was curious does anyone one else believe in paranormal stuff happens like things with ouija boards, ghosts, and other unexplainable stuff. I don't practice anything like ouija boards but I Was just wondering what everyone else thought of this stuff. P.S. Don't watch this video if you get scared or have nightmares really easily.

i just find it weird that almost all of these are taken with lo-res video cameras that are held in peoples hands, and when they are not held in peoples hands they are fixed so that we do not the entire scene.

Every time I watch these things I think "how could I make something that looks just like that", and most of them I come up with an answer to so I'm pretty skeptical. Every now and then one of them stumps me though...

I generally believe in Paranormal stuff since I have lived in a home which I felt was haunted... When it comes to videos though I am very skeptical since well people can edit videos to appear like something is there that isn't. There are some videos out there that will stump me though but from personal experiance in my own home that I used to live in I would say that yes Ghosts and spirits do exist.

Hmm, well I honestly haven't been too heavily convinced to believe or disbelieve. I have had a few occasions in which I definitely could not rationalize what happened, but the extent of knowledge I have with technology I am extremely skeptical with things that are "caught on camera" etc.
I have a few times honestly felt there was something paranormal going on. Once, when I was about to fall asleep (I sleep in the sun-room, it's an extension of the house) I was laying in the dark at about 1-2am. As I'm drifting off I hear a hushed "HEY" I thought to myself "wtf? lol" and ignored it. A few minutes later as I am about to fall asleep I hear "HEY!" in an almost hushed yell, and then a stack of books falls off my desk. I was scared shitless.... =(

I believe in the paranormal. I've seen a ghost when I was younger. My house used to be haunted (thought I think it still is because my mom sometimes hears crying when she's in the shower and our closets open by themselves). We had an exorcist stay over when I was really young and he stayed in the room that gave off the most paranormal activity. After that most of the sightings stopped but I sometimes hear/feel things. I think it was a friendly spirit though since it never tried to hurt me per se but it still freaked me out.
Also, when I was in highschool a group of friends of mine would go to the abandoned insane asylum. (I opted out every time) and this one night they went one of the girls almost lost a leg because they went to explore the kitchen and the metal door slammed on her leg and wouldnt open. Papers would fly everywhere, charts would move, etc.

While we're on the subject of large haunted buildings, when I was in college friends and I used to always go into this place called woodman circle. It was built in 1930 and used to be an orphanage until there was a large fire there. I probably visited this place 20-30 times over the course of a couple of years and only once discovered anything to prove it was haunted. I went in there by myself late at night during a thunderstorm with my camera to take pictures (I was making a map of the place, no clue why). I was in there for probably 10-20 minutes before I started hearing some of the most fucked up noises I can imagine. I was taking pics of a bathtub full of rusty water when I started hearing it. The noises I couldn't describe, but I was also hearing voices and giggling. I know for certain nobody else was in there at the time because I'd already walked each wing taking wide shot pictures. Needless to say I ran out of there as fast as I could and never went back. If you want to see pics of this place, check this link. The little red squares at the bottom right are links to more pics from different angles and inside. They neglect to mention the fire on that website, and it looks like they avoided posting any pics of the burned areas as well. This place has 3 wings, 3 floors, and a huge basement with giant concrete columns in it, as well as a boiler room in the basement. It's a true nightmare on elm street / the haunting type of place. And here's a few more pics... more pics(IMG: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2326/1860118604_e6e7c8c207.jpg)

i believe in the paranormal..
my old house was haunted. when i was little and couldnt sleep or woke up before it was in the middle of the night, and heard the tv i would run down the stairs and just hang out with whatever family member was watching it, i was little, ambitious, idk. i was curious. i always did it.
onetime i ran down the stairs after hearing some tv noises and when i turned the corner i found the tv to be off. not even that, the light was off. i was always aware that if the lights were off downstairs, it would create this pitch black effect from the top of my stairs, with that lighting effect i would be too scared to go down.
but i DID go down, because there was a light, showing me the bottom of the stairs.
once i realized no one was there, i ran upstairs literally skipping stairs equal to the height of my body because i became HELLA AFRAID! i looked back and there was that darkness. i went into my room and slept.
the morning after i asked my older sister about the history of the house and what i learned was there used to be a old woman that lived and had her last days here, and she loved to watch tv...
YEA! but anyway i can explain ouija boards...kind of. all the movements are subconscious, even with two people resting their hands on the marker. i guess i cant REALLY explain it...since someone else told me. its just the way our minds work. example, when we ask the age of the spirit we subconsciously give it an age, etc, again not too crazy into the human mind so yea. but theres an article somewhere ill post it if i can find it.
otherwise, yes. i believe in the paranormal.

i believe in the paranormal, but probably i was raised to believe in it. Even if the stories my brothers told me were mostly fake.
But that mainstream sci fi channel crap is fake for real

Do i really need a signature ?

Sara Jane Rd. Port Neches / Groves TEXAS
A woman during the civil war was pregnant and harboring confederate soldiers. Instead of being captured she hung herself on the bridge. It was then named in her honor, Sara Jane Rd. Every May 3rd you can hear the baby she lost crying, and hear Sara Jane trying to find/call for her baby.
Local legend.

As for the rest of it. I believe in some aspects of the paranormal. Even if some of the stuff isn't true...it's still FREAKING INTERESTING!!! I love it all.

I have always believed in the paranormal.
There is definitely something unnatural out there.
I have this creepy native american friend who supposedly has increased spirit awareness. After a few nights alone in some weird places, I know she isn't lying. It freaked me out.
But trying to find ghost and ect is sort of a mini passion.
