Paranormal Activity

[l?ckdown]

Well do you guys believe in ghosts, spirits, and other paranormal stuff?

 

[Justice]

I do not. There's some show on tv where they investigate paranormal activity, and I recall the guys saying that most of the things they investigate turn out to have normal explanations. I believe that people that have all these strange phenomena happen to them usually just have wild imaginations and parents who like to pick on them.

Anyone who believes in paranormal animals (Chupacabra/Bigfoot/Lockness) is a moron in my opinion, and ghosts/UFO's...I think most of that is peoples imaginations going wild. But some UFO/Ghost stuff is pretty interesting and makes me think. Anyone who believes crop-circles are done by aliens is an idiot as well.

 

[Memphology]

Naw I dont believe in that kindve stuff, but its sortve intresting to watch the ghost shows where they tell about some chick who died in 1508 and she comes back every night or something of that sort...

I used to be a skeptic, but it just seems kinda weird. There hasn't been concrete evidence, but there are some unusual things. EVP's for example really don't say anything audible, but the sound is still there, caused by nothing else. People say that it could be a mic problem, but I can't believe that is the cause of every thing.Crop Circles are just confusing. It has been proven that it can be somewhat made overnight, with many different pieces of equipment that a normal man would not have. It took like 5 people to make it starting from 11 p.m. to sun up, and they barely finished it. It did have a slight radioactivity (by using a microwave). However, to believe that all crop circles are made by man is just plain stupid. I'm not sayin its aliens in ships, but it has to be something. Crop Circles (Huge ones) have been found in the desert where no living thing could be intelligent enough to make such a detailed circle. Same with the crop circles that have been found in cold places like the arctic. No one could've made those in such extreme conditions.

I think there may be some Cryptids(unknown animals) still around, especially in the jungles of Africa and South America, the deep lakes, and even in the forrest of North America. Bigfoot/Yet/Apeman/Alma type creatures are to many throught-out history and to transcultural not to have some basis behind their backing. In fact there is what is claimed to be part of a Yeti which DNA has shown comes from an unknown primate related to the Orang-u-tan. This also holds true with hair samples taken from what is called the skunkape in Florida.At certain times in history other animals were said not to exist, including the giant squid, Mountain Gorrillas, and Turkeys but all are proven to live today. Now I'm not saying I'm 100% certain this things exsist, I'm just saying they could.UFO's is total bullsh**. if Aliens were visiting Earth why do they ownly abduct Hillbillies and Mexicans? you never hear about some guy from Africa being abducted, or a Frenchmen, it's also some drunken hick from the OzarksGhost are BS too. I've been into haunted places for years and have driven all over the west to find them. to date I am yet to see 1 supernatural thing, I have seen many spooky things but nothing which cannot later be explained. Also, here is a question which has bothered me for ever. why is it someone who believes in ghost is crazy, but someone who believes in God is not? no one has seen either of them, and there is no proof either exist.

 

[ASUFan22]

Well maybe they only abduct them because they know you wouldn't believe that person? I don't really believe in these things, but they are interesting to think about.

 

[Rok]

Yes. Vampires are among us.

We made a crop circle in math class my junior year. We took a trip to a field behind a local college, we spend a few days going over it in class and made it....it's so easy...it's pretty silly to think anything other than people do them. Oh, and every Skunk-Ape picture I've ever seen is a complete fake. There's no way a group of giant primates could be secretly living in Florida of all places.

Well, astronauts, airplane pilots, and other people that you won't see drunk and silly have witnessed UFO's. Not aliens going after them, but ships that follow them. There have been eyewitness testimonies from them. Not only that, but the way certain governments react to it is very peculiar. It may not be Aliens, but some experimental government craft? Don't know about that either. I didn't say Crop circles are impossible to make, but to have the characteristics (radioactivity etc.) in such extreme locations is hard to be believe to be made by a man. Religion is the norm now. It's weird for you to be atheist. I believe in God, and it is one word faith. There are things that science has yet to explain yet. You can watch some TV specials they have (Ghost Hunters) and they do have some unusual sh*t there, that can't be explained.

 

[gentile]

How can one believe in the biblical God and not ghosts?Did not the witch of Endor awaken a prophet for King Saul who had outlawed witches that could raise the spirits of the dead?

That could be the reason in many cases.... I think it's pretty silly to think Aliens make designs based off man-made shapes/designs in corn/wheat fields.

There's just 2 much that doesn't fit with that. The complexity of some of them is unbelievable, and to be made in one night is rather remarkable. The crop circles are in ALL kinds of locations around the world, not just a cornfield or a plain. They are everywhere. There are other things that are just not explainable. Out of the reports of UFO's, 80 % can be identified, but the other 20% cannot. The earliest evidence of "aliens and UFO's" was in a cave in Pakistan. The cave was old and there were just as old drawings. They show basically a little man in what looks like a suit, and a big head, with a saucer shaped disc in the background.There is alos something else that is intriguing. In various drawings of Jesus, Mary and other biblical figures, if there is a sky in the background, there is sometimes a black disc shaped disc there for no apparent reason. This is shown in many paintings. I'm not saying its aliens, but for people that long ago to show drawings and paintings of stuff we see today is very unusual.

I just find it funny that all these crop circles are done at night, not to mention there's no video of one ever being made by an aircraft in a field. Groups of people all over the world make crop circles as a hobby, they all try to out-do eachother...etc..I watched it on the show they had on Discovery channel and they interviewed a group of college kids in England that do it. And not all of them are done in one night, often times it takes a group of people a couple nights to finish them...they are not all done in one night....if they are done in the middle of a huge field on a big property it could probably takes days for a land owner to find out about it.

 

[l?ckdown]

Can you get what I'm saying? I said crop circles CAN be made, but to be made in some of the areas with that much complexity and all of the other stuff is pretty unusual.

 

[BrewCityBuck]

It's not as complex as it looks. All it takes is some preperation and getting the measurements right.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The phenomenon itself was observed in its current form after notable appearances in England in the late 1970sIn 1991, more than a decade after the phenomenon began, two men from Southampton, England announced that they had conceived the idea as a prank at a pub near Winchester, Hampshire during an evening in 1976On the night of July 11-12, 1992, a crop-circle making competition, for a prize of several thousand UK pounds (partly funded by the Arthur Koestler Foundation), was held in Berkshire. The winning entry was produced by three helicopter engineers, using rope, PVC pipe, a trestle and a ladder. Another competitor used a small garden roller, a plank and some rope.</div>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_circle Funny how Aliens have only been doing this for 30 years.

 

[l?ckdown]

I've read that entire thing.I've seen it been made before, just read some of the posts above as to see what I am trying to say :/

 

[SerbBojo]

shows like ghost hunters piss me off because they claim to be experts but they have admitted a few times that they are plumbers. Also whenever they claim to have seen something they never get it on tape, and their dialogue just seems so forced and fake. Im sure theyve seen weird stuff every once in awhile but for the most part I think they make things up otherwise they wouldnt have a show. Thats why I never trust tv shows that revolve around weekly ghost huntings or searching for mythic animals because they never find anything.

 

[the_pestilence]

Here's a question is why is anybody who believes in paranormal activity any more of a loon than somebody believing in religion. Personally I have no problem with people believing in either, but I find it interesting that the latter is considered a virtue and a former a vice.

 

[l?ckdown]

Religion has been around for many, many years. It has become okay to believe in it. Back when it was first "made" (religion) it was not as scrutinized because it had just happened to the people there. It spread fast. Now in these times, it has become natural to question religion and god, because there seem not to be any "divine miracles" (again self centered individuals).

 

[Strike3]

I don't believe most of this stuff but it is very interesting. Take a look at the wikipedia of the Nazca lines. It is very interested but hard to believe that it is actually true. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazca_lines
