Albareth Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Ghosts, et cetera, are like all the deities of religion to me, I don't believe they can possibly exist as they're made out to be, sentient beings, but there may be physical/psychological phenomona explaining why people perceive them or their "presence". So... *points to theta*, listen to her! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltiraaz Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 When you are walking through a dark hallway of an abandoned building, alone in the middle of the night, your adreniline skyrockets you're going to hear SOMETHING.. even if it is just a floorboard creaking, your brain is going to make it sound like a moaning spirit or something of the sort. Plus all these urban legends happen to the guy who just came back from his bachelor party piss drunk, or the prostitute who was walking alone in an alley in a rough part of town at night. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Reaper Posted September 13, 2003 Author Share Posted September 13, 2003 Has everyone forgotten Poltergeists?There are cases of people ending up with cuts and bruises that don´t seem to have a cause. How do you explain that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltiraaz Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Actually that happens to me quite a bit. :P . Maybe I've lost some of the sensation in my arms, but I'm constanly finding a small scab or scratch on myself without ever noticing it before. I wouldn't blame Peeves though... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 "Has everyone forgotten Poltergeists?There are cases of people ending up with cuts and bruises that don´t seem to have a cause. How do you explain that? " Very simple: cuts and bruises from perfectly normal sources that get creatively interperted to be something they're not. Out of desire to see proof for something they believe in, they take the explanation that best fits what they already "know" to be the truth.

The_Reaper Posted September 13, 2003 Author Share Posted September 13, 2003 Guess I didn´t make it very clear...There´s a very old cemetary in Edinburgh, Scotland, where very strange things happen, some people leave it screaming with a sense of nausea, their faces numb and covered with scratches.How do you explain that?

Eltiraaz Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 They ran into an overgrown bush after getting sick from the smell of really old corpse thats risen through the layers of soil over the centuries. I don't really know and I can't explain it quite frankly, but I dont think it's the undead or anything of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Ok, let's try to continue this debate. Flame posts deleted and topic unlocked. I don't want another round of name-calling to start, or else.... :angry: As for people experiencing - or claiming to experience - unexplained phenomena...how about auto-suggestion?

Darmoth Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Guess I didn´t make it very clear...There´s a very old cemetary in Edinburgh, Scotland, where very strange things happen, some people leave it screaming with a sense of nausea, their faces numb and covered with scratches.How do you explain that?Point in fact... there are some things, we just CAN'T explain. That's NOT to say there's something supernatural behind everything... that is to say our knowledge of the universe and the way things work is indeed fairly limited. A little off topic, but to prove the point about there being things we can't explain.Scientist, today do have a law of gravity, they can explain the situations in which gravity occurs, but they can't explain it. In my study of particle physics, the unknown particle that we believe to cause gravity has NOT been discovered yet. The name we give to this particle is the Graviton. Like I said, we believe it to be there, but we have yet to actually find it. If that makes sense... EDIT: Add the word NOT, in this sentence... "That's NOT to say there's something supernatural behind everything..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
