It's an absolute load of BS, designed to prey on the vulnerable and part them from their money.
Amazing how easily they are debunked and the millions on offer to prove their powers are as yet unclaimed! |

You're probably right charwell
Puts food on the Ancorah and Geller tables though ... |

Geller was caught 'look-at-that-interesting-thing-over-there'-style by CCTV in restaurant once. While the old dears were distracted he bends the spoon with his hands and then presents it, see it's bent
 . I loved that old US show mentioned earlier where he's squirming after they fked him right up. |

Big difference between a Spoon bender & a Poltergeist though
Obviously humans will always try & decieve other humans but i'm talking about the unknown .. possibly the unproveable .. or at least unproveable under Regular circumstances for $1 million  |

The rational mind doesn't always rule. Houses can still seem creepy and frightning even if you know for sure there aren't ghosts, which makes people not want to live in them.

My father's wife used to read future in cards, she hold it from her father but it's another story. When i was 8 (she was not then my father's wife), i saw her to do it for a female friend and she became litterally livid when she saw the cards, there was the near death of a close relative in the game. Some hours after, the friend was announced her nephew died in a motorcycle accident. Do what you want with that, me i don't know.

I've always believed. My mum told me about occurences that happened to her and her mum when I was quite young and I've always accepted these things.
Inexplicable things happened at my previous house, I lived there for 4 years, and things happened there that defy any rational explanation. I'm big enough and ugly enough to know there's fakers and scammers out there preying on the gullible and the desperate, but there's enough rational people with nothing to gain who have their stories to tell too. |

You are telling me there are grown adults (of sorts) around in this day and age suggesting that ghosts and ouija boards exist/work?!
Hilarious! And anyone who says "I heard from a mate who wouldn't lie"... They aren't necessarily lying, they may fully believe what they saw/felt but it doesn't make it true. Just like Musilms, Christians, Jews etc can fully believe they have seen the messiah or witnessed a miracle and seen God talk to them, it doesn't mean it's true. Their brain has simply played tricks on them or they are delusional. |

By:
Just to clarify, my own mum tells the story of when she and her cousin played with a ouija board and the glass moved itself and spelt something out. She has no reason to lie and wouldn't lie to me. She does believe it happened. The fact is that that doesn't mean it did happen.

I think people don't often intentionally lie, but they state things more emphatically than they probably were. For instance there was a post on here recently about someone they knew who saw an old lady in a flowery dress at a wedding who then disappeared, despite the character looking everywhere. Weeks later, looking through some old photos of the family, there she was - the late old lady in the same flowery dress.
Looked at with a bit of detachment, it's not unusual to see ladies in flowery dresses at weddings. And did this person really look everywhere for her, or did she just have a quick look and then forgot all about it, perhaps she was in the khazi or went home. And again, an old lady in a flowery dress in a photo album, I bet that's not happened often. Was it really the same one the girl was remembering seeing briefly from weeks ago in the same dress or just a generic old lady in a generic flowery dress. I bet she didn't drink anything either, at the wedding. The truth is often that people who say they know what they saw do not have a clue about how easy it is to be deceived via the senses and are not interested in finding out, preferring the mystical explanation. Then there are those that say things are impossible, like the Ouija glass moving rapidly. The people involved probably have never tried to find out how such a thing might happen without a supernatural explanation. And again, was it really moving so fast that it was impossible for a person to be doing? I doubt it, but none of us were there to judge. Maybe all those experiences were real and true, I don't know, but my feeling is they are little stories subtly but unintentionally made to sound more certain than they were and they usually fall apart under scrutiny. As for the paranormal olympics, I'm still hopeful that UK will win more than its fair share of ghouled medals. |

OK then Sherlocks...
Sitting on the sofa one afternoon, watching the telly. In front of the telly there was a pile of about 5 videos. Neatly stacked on top of each other flat, not on their sides. Been there for a few days without being touched. As I watched the telly, out of the corner of my eye, and with the appropriate noise, the stack fell to the side. The house had suffered from subsidence, and had been repaired by basically digging out below and filling it with concrete. The floor did not move at all. It was in a cul de sac, probably 50 yards or more from the main road so it wasn't traffic vibration. It wasnt a windy day, and even if it had been, how would wind blow that stack over and not affect anything else. There was plenty else happened in that house that was odd to say the least, but that was one of the first things. |

Is that is??
'Cos TVs have speakers which use vibration to create sound and for it to travel to your ears through the air particles!* For one of many reasons.  |

Research has been done that shows the longer ago something strange was reported the "grander" the story is. Innocent, non-paranormal events get exeggerated as time passes and stories heard from others about things that happenned a while ago are usually nothing like what actually occured.
