Do you believe in ghosts?

  • I'm watching this show on bio about celebrities and their ghostly encounters. Some of it was pretty spooky, actually.

    I'm interested to hear if you guys believe in this sort of stuff. And if you do because of a previous encounter, please share!

    I somewhat believe in them, but I haven't experienced it yet. And I'm not sure if I want to.

  • Nope, however I do believe in old houses making a bunch of crazy, creepy noises that will scare the shite out of you if you believe/or your mind can convince you in this sort of thing.

    That is true, paranoia is not fun.

    I really to believe it's all a mind trick. If you go into a situation scared, i.e. going to a supposed haunted house, etc., every last noise or movement is going to convince your mind that something abnormal is happening when it really is just playing up your initial fear.

    You don't need to be in a fear state to have experiences.... I feel like I have had experiences without being in a state of fear.

    No actual solid evidence that any of it was true, I could just be crazy.... but I feel like it really happened.

    I've had very strange experiences without fear as well, I was only stating that with fear comes a higher sensitivity towards more fear. Ever heard of sleep paralysis? It sucks and creates absolutely terrifying images, but is easily explained by science. Our minds are very powerful.

    Yeah I hear you... it's one of those things that we will never know, and that sucks. I have a list of things that if I could know the truth behind it, I would choose to receive the knowledge and die immediately after than to live without knowing. The unknowable is frustrating.

    Am I supposed to see something creepy, or is this something that I watch long enough and it suddenly turns to a frightening image. Because I see nothing but too many pillows.

  • Ever heard of sleep paralysis though? My buddy suffers from it, and his descriptions of it sound down right terrifying. It's essentially waking up and regaining consciousness, but the rest of your body and mind remain in an REM like state. Meaning you can't voluntarily move, breathing is shallow (feels like choking) and you still experience dream like hallucinations such as figures in the room at the corners of your eyes, etc. Horrible.

    Actually, I had an experience where I woke up and could hear things and felt like I had something pressing down on my chest... I couldn't move... couldn't make a noise... and then it suddenly broke loose and I shot up like a rocket. Never looked into sleep paralysis but that sounds like a rational explanation. The whole experience though felt like a ghost movie

  • Look at the very bottom left on that picture. Right behind the pillow. Lol

    Sounds the same. If you've ever heard of the "old hag" legend, it is believed that it originates from sleep paralysis and what you experienced. Many believe supposed "alien encounters" and "ghost experiences" originate from this.

    This painting is also thought to be a visual description of the ailment. It's known as "The Nightmare"

    I did a research paper on sleep paralysis and it's incredibly intriguing and terrifying at the same time.

    Yeah man that sounds just like it... I have never looked into it though. Do you know any good books about Sleep Paralysis?

    I'd have to dig up my notes on my research on the backup hard drive, but I'll pm you my sources. Just remind me in the music thread if I don't get back to you in a few days.
