It seems as though animals and children may be more sensitive to these sorts of phenomena.

I do wonder if we "learn" perception of time.

The idea of parallel dimensions existing is a concept that has been offered as an explanation for paranormal/unexplained activity.  More things in heaven and earth etc,

we only see a tiny fragment of the spectrum. there is more invisible than visible.
Scientists have 96 percent of the universe missing between dark matter and dark energy.

no such thing as ghosts - just demons.
evil spirits attach themselves to people while they are alive.
when that person dies. they have knowledge of that person.
pretending to be them while they seek out a new house(body).

“When the evil spirit goes out of a man it wanders through waterless places looking for rest and never finding it. Then it says, ‘I will go back to my house from which I came.’ When it arrives it finds it unoccupied, but clean and all in order. Then it goes and collects seven other spirits more evil than itself to keep it company, and they all go in and make themselves at home. The last state of that man is worse than the first—and that is just what will happen to this evil generation.” Mathew 12:44

hahahahaha - cheerin you up. No ghosts. happy now.

When I was living with my parents I took our dog out each night. A friend of mine who lived about half a mile away had a dog called Buster and sometimes he would call on me when he was taking his dog out. This could happen anytime between 7 and 10 at night and not every night but we always knew when Buster was on his way because about 15 minutes before he arrived our dog would get up and sit by the front door.
No hard evidence for this lfc1971 you'll have to take my word for it.

If ghosts do exist why are they so fooking stupid?

How many times have we heard the type of story where for 100's of years such and such boy/woman/man can be seen wondering up and down the road/moor looking for his dog...well, you'd think that after 100's of years that the dopey fecker would realize that the bloody dog isn't there ffs!!

my sisters cat could often be seen to walk across the fields and sit waiting at the back door of her house a little time before her husband arrived home.
I think the cat was clever enough to recognise the sound of the cars engine from other cars as he came home on the country roads with sparse traffic.

there is a million dollars on offer for anyone who can prove anything paranormal, ghosts, ufos, esp, bending spoons with your mind...

anything of that nature, the money has been sitting in a bank waiting to be claimed for over 30 years.
By:
lfc1971
When: 23 Mar 17 08:51
now that's all you need to know, the money has been there and waiting to be claimed and people like money
who could deny that?
By:
lfc1971
When: 23 Mar 17 09:06
so the question you should be asking yourself is not `do ghosts exist`
but `why do people believe in ghosts, why do people believe in ufos, why do people believe that it is possible to bend spoons with your mind

when there is not a single piece of evidence to support the belief.
how do we know there is no evidence?

the million pounds.
By:
lfc1971
When: 23 Mar 17 09:09
you see people have seen uri geller bend spoons with his mind...

that is not evidence, if it was geller would have pocketed the million pounds
the million pounds is still there, that is evidence.

James Randi's million dollar challenge was withdrawn by the Foundation in 2015. If you look at the terms and conditions imposed on applicants you will see why no-one could win the money. James Randi himself said " the money will never be won as I always have an out".
He could choose who'se challenge he took up and impose whatever criteria of proof he alone decided including the right to change the requirements at any time during the test. Applicants had to sign away all legal rights to any of the proceedings including the right to legal action and/or publicity if it was shown that Randi had been less than truthful or reasonable himself. The rules and requirements of the test were only imposed after applicants had signed away all control and rights.
If James Randi wanted to proove that you couldn't jump in the air he would simply impose the rule that required you to jump 100ft. as evidence. If you couldn't do it you failed his test of proof and remember you've signed away your right to publicise your side of things.
By:
lfc1971
When: 23 Mar 17 10:54
well that's ok, why did someone not sit the test and then report to the world how Randi didn`t pay up?
By:
lfc1971
When: 23 Mar 17 11:32
you see Rhandi set the test hoping that someone would pass the test, not fail.

When: 23 Mar 17 12:08
well that's ok, why did someone not sit the test and then report to the world how Randi didn`t pay up?

Because you had signed away the rights to do that. But his requirement of "proof" meant that most people didn't bother taking it any further anyway.
By:
lfc1971
When: 23 Mar 17 12:20
no no one signed away the rights to sit the test?
the aim of the test was to find someone who could sit the test show and prove they had any form of paranormal ability
now if you think the test was unfair, how was it unfair ?
the money was there waiting to be claimed under scientific scrutiny

If you believe there was something unfair in that in what way was the test unfair ?
By:
lfc1971
When: 23 Mar 17 12:25
the onus is on those saying that the test was unfair to say why it was unfair, did they sit the test and report back that Rhandi had **** the test., and in what way
unless they can do that I don't believe that the test was **** ....because there is no evidence that the test was ****
that is how you cut through the nonsense of the fake mystics and spoon benders
By:
lfc1971
When: 23 Mar 17 12:32
so here is the question bix,
in what way was the test unfair
how was it ****
why would it be ****
do you not think Rhandi would be as delighted as anyone to find
that someone had paranormal powers
does your belief that Rhandi set up a fake test hoping that no one would sit the
test and make it know that it was fake and Rhandi was trying to cover up psychic powers

now would that make sense to any sensible and thoughtful person?

The spookiest place i've ever visited (and there's been plenty) was Beaumaris Gaol... I went there in my 20's and never went back. That place is full of evil chit and it's badness personified.

Hard to understand really unless you were there.

On entrance i got a cold shiver (it was August hadn't even got to the cells). Walked past a door and got the horribleist feeling, like someone had just told me my Da had died. A total and complete emptiness. Walked a few more yards and there was a window, looked outside and there was like the top of a gallows; looked like it was attached to something outside that same door.

Walked into some rooms, warders and such, and i felt there was eyes on me from every corner and ceiling. Another massive cold shiver. Then someone whispered "Billy" to me. walked out trying to look brave and said to the girl i was with "come in here" She felt nothing and walked out with me. Further along ye get to the cells some downstairs. The smell was horrendous; i nearly puked. Got into one cell after ducking about 3 feet and i heard singing, sounded like kids but not sure; said to Joanne, the bint, "Can ye hear that" "What ya cóck stirring" she says (nice girl) i says seriously, to which i got called a boring bastard (nice girl) and off she pops. Then i get's "Billy" again, but this time louder and then a scream. Ran outside to see if it was someone out there and not a murmur. That was it for me went and found the bint who was in some womans room and said "I'm off". Went outside still feeling eyes on me and cold as feck. Went into a chippy i found and left the bint (nice lad me) I was still cold hours later. An awful feeling stayed with me for a while.

These things happen, g2d, I don't know why. Maybe, as you said before, you have to be chosen. I learned not to be scared of it. You cannot be harmed.

That reply was shorter than intended. I forgot to say that it was a very interesting story. Does the place have a history of this?
