Does NSC believe in ghosts?

[FKalinx]

So, do the good people of NSC believe in ghosts / spirits / encountering the supernatural?

I have always been a little sceptical but my whole family swear that my auntie's house is haunted. Whenever there is another baby that occupies a certain room, a baby is heard shrieking and crying uncontrollably. A baby cannot be in such a state and then fall straight back to sleep instaneously. Years after hearing this, the previous owners came knocking on my auntie's door while she was grooming the front garden and asked to come in for a coffee. As he left, he asked her if she had heard the baby, and explained that a baby had died in the 1880s of TB and it cries whenever there is another baby that occupies the room. My family is full of sceptics and includes a high court judge (known for their rationality etc), who have all heard this baby cry. Next month a new arrival to the family will stay at my aunties and we will put it to test.

So, any personal stories? Or are ghosts etc. just a fiction of the mind?

I'd like to, but I don't.

 

[Gully]

Nope, not at all...think it is all figments of the imagination.

 

[Jam The Man]

Good story... and I suspect there's something to the theory of ghosts being real and present... but i don't want to be presented with proof!

 

[Braders]

I think too many logical people have experienced supernatural shit to write it off completely

I don't really buy into the whole "relatives/Elvis/etc.." stuff but having seen something abit weird as a child which overall would fall into this ballpark I think their is some sort've paranormal activity about.

Was talking about this the other night, I had an experience in my first house where I woke up and thought that someone was stood looking down at me before walking away across the landing and through a blocked up door into the house next door...but I put it down to a dream.

I think there is something out there. As Braders says, too many sensible, intelligent people have reported experiences of the paranormal to dismiss it entirely.

We have a poltergeist where I work, of this I am utterly convinced.

My brother in law, who is an average sort of bloke, once lived in a house that was supposedly haunted by the previous tenant, who died there. He swears that he saw her on many occassions, and his wife, kids and lots of his friends also claimed to have seen her. Now I spent many evenings in the house but never saw or felt anything out of the ordinary. So I expect it's me that just hasn't got whatever it is to make the link.

I have met plenty of intelligent people, who to put it nicely, have been away with the fairies half the time...I have always been of the belief that everything, including ghost/spirit/paranormal occurences, can be explained rationally.

Yes, we have one in our house, she is called Rose, or Marie, she was the lady who bought our house new in the 60s, and died here in 1996. She often is heard walking around upstairs while we are downstairs, and she moves the picture of a nude we have so that it is all wonky. She is OK, and I'm sure she is moving on, we only hear her once in a while now, but when we moved in we heared her at least once a week.

Are you? Fascinating, and I thought this thread was about believing in ghosts. Perhaps you have accidently clicked on the wrong thread.

Although you might be questioning my post, in which case, I assure you, we have a ghost, and she is called Marie (or Rose), she meddles with the pictures, and she stomps around upstairs.

I don't know what she does when I am out, that is because I am not here.

If you are questioning my post, why on earth would I type something like that? Perhaps you could have a chat with Superwife and I about it sometime, I'm sure we could elucidate further, just to put your mind at rest.

I hope that helps.

I can make no sensible, logical case for there being a "spirit World" but as Braders says, there are too many convincing stories arouind, which have respectible sources, for it to be complete bunkum.

I think there is something beyond the physical World we all live in, but whether it resembles anything that we get sold by the likes of "Ghost", or Doris Stokes, I'm not so sure.

A mate of mine reckons he had ghost, there was loads of unexplained movments in his house for a couple of years, one of his dogs (but oddly not another) would suddenly cower in the corner, his kids say they saw a figure in the front room just about everyone who went into the house seemed to claim they'd seen somthing odd. he's completly rational about it, just came up in coverstation one day "oh yeah, we've got a ghost", didnt cause any bother so whats it matter was his attitude, and the kids treated the "ghost" like a family pet. then nothing, not a movement or sighting for a year or so now.

Even the ghosts cant be arsed with you

Our old guest house was featured in 'The Sussex Ghost Book' as the most haunted house in Brighton.

so when you die, a part of you,say, called the soul or spirit lives on as a form of almost indeterminable form of energy. Released from the physical confines of a body this Spirit is free and able to move at will to and through anything......... so, why does it hang around in grim basements and and old rotting houses and castles going bump in the night ?

If they exist they would all piss off to the stars or at least Cape Town or Rio for the carnival......

Maybe they cant leave.
Maybe they need some sort of ghost visa if they want to move away from where they met their grizzly end.
Otherwise you`d have all the spirits in one place so there must be some sort of immigration even with dead people.
