But did he rule out the possibility of a ghost bite?

I'll explain what you're doing like this: I have a lawn mower and tell you to look up how it works on wikipedia. However, you are convinced it is powered not by a gas engine, but by mystical unicorns. I send you the link for combustion engines but you then claim it's not what's powering the lawnmower so nice try.
It's the same phenomenon, except some people convinced themselves it affected gravity and named it something else.
Your link was broken, by the way.

I've been waiting for somebody to notice it
Nice Devin Townsend avatar btw!One of my buddies recently got back from Japan and he visited Aokigahara Forest while he was there. He said he's never been to a more eerie place in his life.
I don't know if there are wikipedia articles on it. And isn't Wikipedia generally laughed at in terms of reliability? Most college professors don't allow it to be used as a source.Purkake4 said:
And while I agree that ordering a book off of Amazon isn't a quick or always available option, that's where all the information I read was in. It would be one thing to say, "Well, I don't have the book, so I can't say if they are the same thing or not.", but it's quite another to be like, "Nope, you're wrong. Wikipedia says so."
Gio_CoD said:
As we're not writing college papers here, Wikipedia will have to do.
Still the burden of proof lies on you and you couldn't even put "Electrogravitics" into google and link the first result which is the Wikipedia link, I had to do it myself in my last post. Just pointing to some book on Amazon is like saying that someone told you.

Wiki is a good and mostly accurate source of information. The risk of reporting falsified information by just using wiki as a source though is undeniable, which is why it's looked down on in academic circles.
For the purposes of message board discussions, citing Wikipedia is fine.

If you guys really want to be creeped out even more, check out these ghost stories from a thread a I made a while back.

It would really be more akin to you telling me that a submarine and a boat run on the same engine because they both propel themselves forward in water.KHarvey16 said:

This thread doesn't bother me at all, but THAT thread...that damn thread scared the shit out of me. Particularly the one about the guy's voice being picked up on the camcorder, and the one about the headless torso running through the door.
Yeah, chances are they weren't true...but that doesn't really matter when it's 2 in the morning.

Any chance you can find a source that doesn't read like $2 tabloid? Really? Classified Aerospace Technology in MY paperback book off amazon? This is one of those "If it's too good to be true it probably isn't" things.
By the way I like how attack my blurb on the anti-gravity and completely ignore the rest of my points on the fact this whole thing is either hasn't been proven because it isn't true but hey, pick your battles.
What about the story from this film, "The Fourth Kind": http://scifiwire.com/2009/08/exclusive-new-trailer-for.php
"1n 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document ... until now.
Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, wheremysteriously since the 1960sa disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered.
Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented.
Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film."
I tried to find something about it on google but I couldn't :/

If it makes you feel any better, any stories of people seeing creepy figures while they're in bed are almost (if not completely) always suffering from sleep paralysis. It's a weird phenomenon, but one that has been pretty well documented in recent years.

Its all been debunked now but a while ago this guy claimed to be from the future and came back to warn us of things by posting on message boards. Some fascinating stuff on his wiki page even if it isn't true.

And here.. we... go.
This is one reason why I didn't want to post this here but then again, it's fun listening to the convincing side of the story. I'm sure her parents would be happy to know that their daughter just ran away...
Oh and to those sending me PM, thanks for the concern. There is nothing I can add to the story and I tried not to have a "follow-up" on what happened to her cause it must be a very heart-breaking question for her family. I do ask it a few times from my mom since she is always in touch with them. If there is any misconception, I'll correct it.

Third movie is a mess, but genuinely fucking scary in parts. They are currently stealing bits of it for this trailer which is ironic, because Exorcist III's subtitle is "Legion.":

Have you heard the story of the Crawling Nurse? It's an old Indonesian urban legend, but very creepy nevertheless. As the story goes, there was a Dutch nurse working in a hospital in West Java who was raped and tortured by Japanese troops during the war. They basically sliced her legs off and left her to die. Now, they say the nurse still haunts the hospital grounds, pulling herself along the ground with her arms.
And since we're sharing urban legends here's another one from the Philippines. This one is a bit closer to home since my old college professor was the one who told it to me, but it still smells more of urban myth than anything factual. Still, quite entertaining and creepy
Being in the tropics and all, we do get quite a lot of rain during certain parts of the year, and flooding can sometimes occur during especially heavy showers. So during one particular heavy shower, my professor ended up stranded at the UP (University of the Philippines) campus, as flooding had pretty much turned the streets into small rivers.
Not left with much recourse he opted to stay the night at the faculty building on campus. The night guard warned him however that the building was reputedly haunted, as the campus had been at one point used as a Japanese interment camp during the war and that there have been reports of ghostly sightings. My professor didn't think much of it and bunked down for the night.
He was woken up in the middle of the night by someone knocking at the door. At this point my professor said he got frightened and tried to ignore it and go back to sleep, but the knocking happened again. So he got up and too scared to open the door to look just peaked through the keyhole. He basically just saw the color red, as if someone wearing red clothes was standing in front of the door. He brought up enough courage to finally open the door to look, but he was all alone. He quickly closed and locked the door and spent the rest of the night sleeping rather fitfully.
The next morning he ran into the night guard who had warned him about sleeping there, and recalling his odd experience he told the guard about it. The guard grew wide eyed and excitedly told my professor that one of the reported ghosts was of a young woman who during the war, had her eyes carved out, leaving only large, bloody RED holes in their place.
Needless to say my professor never stayed over there again :lol
I feel compelled to watch this movie now. I've watched the first film, which was fairly atmospheric and appropriately moody, but I kid you not, I almost had a heart attack watching that scene. I love getting scared; I think I'm some kind of masochist. :lolOuterWorldVoice said:

I like the one about a dude looking through a whole in his hotel room into his neighbours and looking into the single red eye of some ghost girl.

Not sure if its been mentioned in this thread yet but one of the creepiest REAL unsolved mysteries is that smiley face symbol that keeps getting graffitid on trees and walls whenever a college students dead body is found. CNN had an article about it awhile back. Basically the current belief is that its a killer or group of killers calling card although some people are saying tis unrelated (though I find that hard to believe).

No it wouldn't because the most widely held belief at the time was that the earth was flat so if they had google back then all the "scientists" of the time would have posted that the world was flat.

What the?! Look at her eyes!
I'm a skeptic of this stuff these days, but I still like to read stories that have happened to people here. I'm also not religious.
The one thing that happened to me I cannot explain is something I've posted here a couple of times, but I like to tell it.
When I was a little kid, my parents would have me and my sister spend the weekend at our grandparents' house while they took college classes. One of the main things I remember my grandfather doing was playing with this cuckoo clock that hung on a wall he got from a friend. He could make the cuckoo work by moving the minute hand until the next our came, but the clock itself wouldn't work. The pendulum was still, even though the weights were pulled all the way up. This was in the main room with the TV, so we both saw him doing this quite a lot.
Grandpa smoked a lot, and it's what eventually killed him. Throat cancer that spread all through his body. In his last month of life, he was placed under hospice care, and put in a bed in the main room with the TV (we had tried putting him in a home and he hated it there). Even as he was dying, he kept playing with the clock, pushing the pendulum, trying to get it to work, but nothing ever came from it- the clock was broken and had been for years.
He died in that bed, and about six or eight hours later, his body was removed and the bed was taken. I went to the spot where he had died and hit the pendulum once. It still works to this day. A few days later, my mom told me that she and her dad had made an agreement: whenever he got to heaven safely, he'd give us a sign.
