Paranormal events? Have you had yourself any?

[SSH]

WIld Puma-man in Berkshire, eh?

I believe that there is a metaphysical world : one that science cannot measure or analyse. The human "soul" is the typical example of this. What am I, essentially? And what are things like love? And anyone who has done any kind of basic philosophy, such as read "Sophie's World" will understand that an creator being could be invisible to us as and when it chooses.

Tiki does have a valid point. I read a book from a former BBC science correspondent and he is not religious at all but he said that although evolution from primitive multiple-cellular organisms to humankind is prety solid theory, everything from amino acids to multi-celled organisms was pretty flaky based on huge amounts of assumption and supposition.

oh, and can you people use [ quote ] properly, please: your posts can be very confusing!

Helm, do you hate "The Passion" with a jew?

btw, Hawking is neither Jewish nor religious

- I saw a wild Puma cat or something in Berkshire! That was freaky!

Interesting enough, I've read about something similar. Here's a picture: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=search&cat=0&pos=0 (extremely bad picture!) I couldn't find the article I read once though. I guess Google has more info.

Paranormal is intriguing. I love tv-shows and movies that are about paranormal. I haven't experienced anything really paranormal myself, but I'd love to. Though I guess I'd be freaked out, I'm afraid of being alone in the dark... you never know what's out there.

if you think I'm picking a fight with you then you are quite wrong.

read what I wrote again as me just having a conversation. "I don't buy it" an expression, I wasn't say "Hey, go peddle your wares some place else! This here is a You Selling Things Free Zone!"

"And anyway, I don't give a shit if they're white"

You mentioned their relgion as if because they were very smart people, them believing in god might mean something. If it doesn't matter what colour they are why does it matter what they believed spiritually?

"I don't give a shit (twice)"

I never said you can't have these thoughts. Why do you think I did? In fact I wrote exactly that all I want is for people to have fun and don't hurt anyone. So why the hostility?

Dinosaurs: There are people who believe that Dinosaur bones were put their either by God to test us or the devil to tempt us... There are people that say that the universe isn't old enough for dinosaurs to have lived and that since they aren't in the bible they couldn't have existed therefore the dinobones are fake.

"Who said anything about religion? I'm the first to keep an open mind to everything and actually this is why this thread exists (I started it remember, and I said that I want to keep an open mind)."

"Yes! But did it have any help from Someone? That's the question here..."

You did.

Gosh, teach me for trying to have a conversation...

I used to see crap when I was a kid, but that dosen't really count. Probably just things influenced by my crazy imagination and lack of sleep.

One incident I can remember happened a few years back. I lived off the road a bit and had no real neighbors for miles, and was by myself one day. I had a little wood-room to stack wood for my fire, and I started hearing a noise from in there. I opened up the door to the room (which was just a small two doored room) and the door leading to the outside was being rattled pretty harshly, like someone was trying to get in. The door-knob was being turned even.

I worked at a jail back then, and in a small town people know where you live. First thing I did was grab my glock and handcuffs and run outside (which took me like 10 seconds) not knowing what the hell was gonna happen.

Nobody was there.

Freaked me out. There was nowhere a person could have hid in the area I lived in, it was all flat farmland, and there was no vehicle around at all (which they would need to get there unless they decided to walk a few dirt road miles.)

I told myself it was probably mutant racoons.

[Nikolas]

You started it!!!! Boo hoo hoo!

I reread it and I'm not trying to pick a fight to. I was a bit defensive though...

Well, I didn't mention their religion but simply the fact that the most scientific minds seem to believe in God and so, science and religion can coexist. Something like that. These are people who spent their lives studying science and so on, and thus if they say that they have not find a single proof of the non-existance of god, I kind of take their word (without this meaning that I believe them, or expect someone else to do my thinking...). It's just that their word counts a little more to me than someone elses words...

The bying thing, was trying to be a joke (unsuccesfully aparently)...

I felt that there was an attack to Christianity and I couldn't find any apparent reason for you doing so. That's why I wrote that "I don't give a shit what the name is...".

End of topic for me.

Squinky, I don't care how dead you are, if you see an armed and dangerous Squinky coming at you with handcuffs... You're disappearing!

[m0ds]

Aww, Petteri! When I view that webpage it says "No image to display" !!

[Pet Terry]

Eek! Hmm. You could go to http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/ ---> Image Gallery ---> Search ---> Type in 'black cat' or something and you should find the picture. But as I said, it's a very bad picture.

[MrColossal]

But as I said, it's a very bad picture.

And thus we have the majority of proof of paranormal happenings summed up in 1 sentence! Hehe

[scourge]

Ok... here goes.

I believe my cat died 5 years ago. But he still haunts my home. On several occasions I have been able to touch him and see him. Everyone else can see him too. He's still warm, furry, and his heart is beating. He's not even see-through. The freaky part is that he eats and drinks too. I mean, dead cats aren't supposed to eat OR have a beating heart. He can not walk through objects either, but meows when he wants to go outside. This is scary as hell for me.

Sounds like the cat isn't dead afterall. Or he just switched to one of his other eight lives

I have a story, but its not paranormal, just freaky. I am in uni, and our uni has two parts, the medical one and then all the rest as the other one. I'm in this one. Some of my friends are in the medical part. They have dead bodies over there (what you call it? cadavers?).Ã,  Now they are very freaked out and serious when they tell me this, as their lecturers told them (they swear its true). I don't know, but i believe them.

There was a girl a few years back, a first year. Two guys took an arm from one the bodies and put it in the girls bed under the covers, apparently with the hand sticking out. The first sight of the girl (by her friends) after she went to her room that night was where she was sitting on her cupboard chewing on the arm. She had a blank expression.

The two guys were apparently expelled and the girl was treated as she went quite mad.

Thanks Petteri! Hehe, yep, well thats similar to what I saw, I'd imagine it must have been a leopard. Whats scary is I saw it not TOO far from home! (About 6 miles or so), but then this was when I was about 8 and I haven't been eaten by anything since, so I'm not TOO scared But yes, the crappy picture does look a bit like what I saw!!

And guys chopping off arms for girls to later eat? Now thats just plain WEIRD!!

[Nikolas]

 

Eric: I couldn't agree more with you on this one.

All these things happeing, and no decent proof? Come on... A mobile phone can provide better pictures/video etc... But still nothing...

This doen make me skeptical...

[m0ds]

2 seconds wasn't quite long enough for me to gather some evidence, sorry...

[MrColossal]

Now we know why the games aren't called Mark Lovegrove: Paranormal Investigator.

[m0ds]

Yes, so my reactions are rather weak! But, now I know who was driving that craft I saw!

Time travelling scum!

Classic urban legend:Ã,  http://www.ecampustours.com/campuslife/urbanlegendsoncollegecampuses.aspx

Cadaver Arm
This legend is about a medical student who secretly takes an arm of a corpse.Ã,  One night, he decides to hide the arm in his girlfriend's room as a practical joke.Ã,  He and his roommate wait in another dorm room for the girl to start screaming.Ã,  After an hour passes and nothing happens, the two medical students decide to go into the girlfriend's room.Ã,  They find the girl sitting in the corner of the room with a glazed expression on her face eating the arm.Ã,  The practical joke had driven her mad.

This legend has also never been proven true.

looks like i've been had, lol. Or they have and believed it too. Thanks for clearing it up garagegothic

[Squinky]

I just spent the last hour looking for some cool creepy ghost pictures. They all seem to be what they call "orbs"  (Which look like waterspots on the lense to me) and a bunch of fog and smoke....Pretty lame.

Edit---

Eric: I would type lol if I didn't despise it's use. But then again, I guess I did just kinda type lol anyway...

[shitar]

I personally try not to think about how or why things are how they are. Because it is the unavoidable FACT that I simply will not know the truth during my lifetime as a human being. I do believe however that in Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection. If we TRULY are alone then we have a big path ahead of us as beings of the universe.

I found proof! And no its not a PhotoShop image with the blurring tool! Bloody skeptics!
