I don't think you understand what I was getting at. Last week, I thought I saw somebody going into my room. I assumed it was my friend Jaymes. Jaymes comes out of the bathroom. So it wasn't Jaymes that went into my room. I go to my room to check, and nobody was there. So, did I just experience the same thing as you? If not, what's the difference between the two?

You probably experienced your house guardian walking around the place.

That is the most ludicrous spelling of the name James ever. His parents should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

The difference is that I wasn't alone, so there were other witnesses and I'm 100% positive of what I saw, no question. When it happened there was like 5 seconds of stunned silence between us, and then we all started asking each other if we'd seen the same thing. It would be pretty weird for 4 guys in different spots in the same room to all see the same thing if it was just an imagined happening or the result of some weird lighting.

Apologies if you've posted about it before, but could you describe the experience again (or link to the post)? Not trying to "poop on the party", although if I can think of a reasonable explanation I'll mention it. But if five people literally saw an old man walk through a door or something like that, that's a stumper.

This is why multiple accounts of the same situation are the best sources. Identifying something by yourself never always works because there may be evidence of hallucinations taking over due to many factors. If something happens and it is witnessed by at least another person in a different position of the actual event, the hallucination card is hard to digest - that's when most scientific investigators tend to ignore it or concentrate on the power of magnetic and atmospheric forces at play.

A ghostly apparition witnessed by several people in the same room though, that is quite striking.

Okay, see, now THAT is interesting. Please tell me one of you went up and opened the door to see if the man was on the other side, or at least felt the door for any abnormality?

I'll detail the entire thing in a bit, but yes, I checked the door personally.

Yeah, how about a "Ghosts/aliens/bigfoot fanclub (NO nonbelievers allowed)"?

Let's just make that clear so there's no confusion.

First one.

I was at a public playing of this recording at the building where it was recorded. They did a Halloween dinner there and it blew everybody away. The people that run this site are awesome, because they'll come do investigations at your house and give you copies of anything they record.

Edit: The "murder" at the 12 second mark is chilling.

If there was a demand it would've been done already. The OT handles needed topics and well there really isn't all that many people who even sign up for it as most are more skeptical than belief or disbelief.
 
I have no ghost story's to tell but I seem to have De Ja Vu decent amount of times. This is the only one I seem to remember very clearly. When I was younger probably around 8 or so. I had a dream that something bad happened to my left leg. I was in a hospital and I was not able to walk. It always scared the shit out of me that dream and I always remembered it. Then a few years later when I was 14 I broke my left femur by playing football. I was not able to walk for a few months and I was in a hospital for about a week and it was the worst pain I had ever felt.

Apparently it's "open minded" people and "closed minded" people. The difference seems to be that the OM people are ready to believe in whatever based on their own or someone else's experiences, while the CM people want more evidence and refuse to believe in anecdotal evidence.

It's more like 'people having fun' vs 'people trying to ruin it'
 
Hey Tonay, you want to hear something hilarious? You wasted every second you spent typing your posts.

People who have stories about the unknown or believe in one or another paranormal event are usually only doing it to stimulate the imagination, to get back some of that childhood sense of adventure and exploration that typically withers and chokes and dies right around the first time you get laid.

It's not a lapse in judgment capability or a resistance to science or any of that shit, it's just a fun way of telling stories, a manifestation of our daydream to be able to believe in something. In that sense it's not actually harmful or anti-intellectual to tell these stories at campfires or make books or movies about them. In the same way, a lot of the websites purporting to be firsthand accounts of paranormal activity are just using the internet to toy with a kind of narrative technique. We don't need you to tell us what we already know and tuned you out as soon as we discovered your MO. Wow, the mothman was a couple of drunk teenagers who misidentified a flying owl in their headlights?! There's not actually a creature that's half-man and half moth? No shit, Sherlock.

If these stories and beliefs about sightings ("I saw a ghost once! It was neat!") changed the way we go about our lives (hint: with some exceptions, it doesn't, not even a little), yeah, then maybe you'd have an excuse to be the biggest asshole in the universe and ruin everybody's fun. As it is, you're a buzzkill who just discovered the correct spelling of "Ockham's Razor" and what a control group is and got all up in our shit for no damn reason and went to the library and stomped on all the "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" VHS tapes. So quit pretending like every word that comes out of your mouth is James Randi debunking motherfucking Uri Geller on Carson. It's condescending and generally meritless because, whoa, holy lord, most of us already agree with you anyway.

I can respect that, but there's always someone who posts some crazy ass personal story and everyone is like "sure, that could happen".

Maybe there should be a disclaimer in the OP that it's just for fun and no serious discussion.

To be clear now you don't actually believe this is a recording of ghosts, but are just enjoying the creepiness of the "mystery," right? That's been the major point of argument here, that we all know most of this is silly stories and the like and don't need people coming in to tell anyone that.
 
This thread has indeed turned to shit.

You wont beleive this kind of thing until it actually happened to you.

Trying to debunk another persons personal story is perfectly plausible , and needed , but to an extent.

Ive had a corner of my bed fold down as if a 400 pound person sat on it , while i was playing some ps2.

Ive seen red eyes in the basement of my old place , which actually seemed to follow me.

its useless to try and convince a non-beleiver , for the red eyes thing it could be a reflection or wtv right , i know what i saw and it wasnt a reflection and its mostly the feeling you get when stuff like this happens that confirms it imo.

I dont like ragging on people , but tony you really need to stfu , you completely ruined this thread and are a condescending douchebag.

There seems to be at least 1 interesting catch on there from ghosthunters.

Personally i think most of the time they are full of shit and just paranoid ... but some of those are very strange.

Great video! I have no doubt there are strange goings on that are 'supernatural' and unexplainable. As they say though, to the believer no proof is necessary. To the skeptic, no proof is possible.

No, the skeptic just want more proof than blurry videos and anecdotes. Show me a ghost/alien/bigfoot and I'll believe it.
 
Some really fun stories in here. I'm having a blast reading them. While I agree there is most likely a logical explanation for most of them, nobody can say with 100% certainty just from reading it on a forum. Of course, there's also the possibility that people are just having fun and making stuff up/exaggerating.

I was thinking into the whole "ghost" phenomenon today and also the story of the woman who had the doppelganger. I was wondering if the theory of parallel universes would provide an explanation. Granted, I'm not about to accept the fact that there is such a thing as a parallel universe, but if it is true, then everything that possibly could happen, does in fact happen. In some alternate reality, your dead grandfather is still alive and going about his daily routine. Just food for thought.

And yes, I completely agree with your hypothesis, it's one I've arrived at myself.
 
If any gaffers are in NC I suggest checking out the Brown Mountain Lights. Supposedly there was a huge battle between waring Native American tribes and many were massacred. Their widows would search the mtn side for their loves but never find them; so you can still see their laterns/souls searching the mtn today.

A bunch of friends and I rode up from SC(2+ hour drive, so we were realllly hoping to see something) to Wise Man's View and waited.

Right at 10 o'clock a white light appeared; it was dim at first and kept blinking in and out, but then turned blue and got quite bright. After hovering/dipping up and down a bit for about 30secs-min it started moving fast as hell and finally shot down the gorge.

It was certainly one of the coolest things I've ever seen, paranormal or not, def. recommend it.

Oh and there was a meteor shower last night that we didn't even know about till we got there and an old local couple informed us. Shooting stars + crazy ghost lights = night of win.

I field this one. You were looking at the starry night sky while waiting, which produces chemical changes in your retina, thus leaving an after image when you blink. This exceedingly common phenomenon combined with your expectations at the site combined to create the convincing illusion that you were seeing something appear in the distance, when in fact nothing was there. This effect was likely reinforced by mild to moderate schizoid tendencies. You should really look into your family history for signs of mental aberration. Another possibility is that you are simply a lying poopy pants trying to crush humanity with your dreadful lies, the likes of which lead to witch burnings, inquisitions, a rise in blood pressure, dry mouth and diarrhea.

Please don't take it personally though. I feel like a jackass for saying it, but without me exposing your flagrant ignorance and stubborn refusal of all things logical and good some poor schmuck might have wandered into this thread and been sent into a downward spiral of wild eyed mysticism and overwhelming penchant towards reeking of patchouli. I can only hope that someone appreciates that I've taken the time to act as a pillar of civilized discourse by discerning what should be very obvious indeed to anyone who isn't a back sliding mouth breather. In all respect I once thought I saw lights that weren't there, but I discovered it was from a migraine I gave myself whilst suppressing memories of molestation. See, I just totally like capped it off by relating to you. We're straight now, right homey?

I think either you're lying, or you don't remember driving all the way home and you're confusing yourself with a dream you had. I think if we were to look at the traffic cameras from that day from the point that you were 'transported', along the roads reaching upto your house, we'd see your car in every single one.

I know that if I was transported from one place to another, I would investigate that shit forever. I'd lie to the cops and say that I'd seen a murder or something at one of those camera zones and see if they actually say "yeah, we checked the road cameras, we didnt see no murder, and we couldn't see your car going past either. stop wasting our time".

When you say you were transported home, do you mean parked in front of your house or on the street? Did no one see a car appear out of nowhere? Was it parked in your regular parking space? Was the engine still running? Did you wake up in a daze like youd just woken up or were you fully alert? Did you call everyone you knew telling them something impossible had just happened? Did you make a thread on neogaf about you'd just witnessed the laws of physics being fucked up the ass? Did you spend the next three days on google trying to find others who'd experienced the same thing? Has it fundamentally changed your outlook on life in any way? Or did you simply forget the drive home?

My strange event happened earlier this week.

I was reading somebody's account of the disappearance of their cousin, when they starting talking about Djinn and palaces in the mountains. But that's not all, it got really weird when subsequent readers and well-wishers did not bat a fucking eyelid at the tale of somebody being abducted by a Djinn Prince.

could someone just sumarize what the heck that Tim the Caver guy saw in the cave? because im not going to go through 100 angelfire pages to get to the paranormal stuff
