Do you belive in ghost?

[Caitlin.ann]

If you want technical terms, then a ghost is only the same thing happening over and over again. For example, say you walk down the same stairs every day at about the same time for several years. There would be alot of built up energy in that spot, creating a psychic groove/impression on the area, somtimes to the point where it can be percieved by the five senses. Over time this impression will fade until it either dissolves completely or until it is re-energized. This seems to happen when someone with a certain aura/energetic make up enters the location of the "ghost." This will make the psychic groove/impression stronger again, and it will now have to take more time to fade again.

Spirits are earth-bound (human) souls. These exist on the Astral plane, and not the physical. Most of the time its very hard to interact with this plane, because of the "veil" that seperates the physical and astral planes. Some people, depending on how sensitive they are to the astral plane, can sense these entities and even interact with them. Its said that 99% of all hauntings can be rationally explained, but there is the other 1% that is unexplainable. That's what the paranormal investigator is there to find out, that other 1%.

That's just my two cents of what I know about ghosts. I just thought I'd share. And yes, I belive in ghosts as well as spirits. Whether I believe in fae or other such entities, is still to be determined.

Do you believe in cheese?

No, I don't believe in "ghosts". You either go to heaven or hell. Anything else is ic activity and should not be searched out by Christians, to say the least. Can't recall the exact verse, but it goes like this: "He who seeks evil will it." Try Proverbs. I also recommend the book "Haunted Houses, Ghosts and s" by Robert Liardon.

I can't believe we even have a post on this...such lack of teaching. Shouldn't this be obvious? That there's no in between? There's no way of getting "stuck" while going to the afterlife. The definition of a "ghost" in the traditional sense, from what I understand, is a soul that has gotten stuck or something on its way to the afterlife. (See my first line above.)

Welp, two more cents for the pile...

Such a contradiction of self. Since cheese DOES exist..this is a bad example to try to contradict me.

This is only your personal opinion, not necessarily truth. I was only offering metaphysical terms in what I wrote, you can believe what you will. Whate exactly makes ghosts "evil"? And even the Bible mentions ghosts, but no where have I seen them mentioned as "evil."

Cheese in my house doesn't exist because my cat ate it all

Or Sheol.

Actually, you believe in ghosts, you just believe they go to heaven or hell, instead of staying here.

How do we know if it's evil if we don't seek to know it's attributes? How do you know it isn't %99 superstition, and %1 natural occuring phenomena that God put on the earth as a joke, or as a by-product of something else He put here (say, pictures of "spirit-orbs" actually being dust).

Or, Heaven and Hell could be states of mind that are more understandable as places. In which case my dead uncle is sitting over my shoulder and in heaven at the same time. Though it isn't possible for to contact him. And anyone trying to do so is being bloody superstitious.

Cats are not mentioned in the Bible.

I'm serious. Get a good Bible dictionary.

Unless you want to go with the generic "animals" bit, but then that means bigfoot and nessie might exist.

 

[Caitlin.ann]

Great points Abbadon. I was thinking about bringing up Sheol earlier. I'm glad you did.

I think ghosts aren't really ghosts at all. I think it's a hole in the space time continuum and we are looking through it to actual living people or sometimes those people are looking back at us.

The Bible does mention ghosts. Remember when Saul visited the Witch of Endor and he spoke to the ghost of Samuel.

I also believe in the existence of Nessie and Big Foot.

Interesting theories, rosemerry. I also believe in the existance of Nessie and Big Foot. There are also related creatures like Champ is believed to be the same species of Nessie, but is found in lake Chapmlain, the then there's the Yeti in the Alps. Actually some believe that creatures like Bigfoot and Yeti are actually related to the extinct gigantopithicus.

What can I say I grew up on Twilight Zone and X-Files. As for actual spirits like Samuel. First, I believe that really is Samuel and for some reason God allowed him to speak to Saul. Otherwise I think they are evil spirits/demons only portraying as a loved one.

I don't think poltergeists are ghosts at all. I think it is a form of psychic energy that the person it is happening to is unaware of. Yes I do believe in physics. No I would never visit one and I don't think they are as prevelant as everyone would like us to believe. If all this stuff like witchcraft, and psychics weren't real why would God tell us to stay away from it.

 

[Lycana]

Good point rosemerry! And cats are mentioned in the Bible. A lion is a cat.

I wasn't dissing your idea, actually I liked it. I've never been much of a science fiction fan, but it was an interesting theory. Everyone has their own opinion and thats what makes everything so interesting.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about here. The theory now is that most poltergeist activity is actually unconscious telekinesis. This phenomena usually occurs in adolescents going through puberty. Stuff like witchcraft is real, as is psychic phenomena. Its just that most claimed psychics are completely fake (Miss Cleo anyone?) As far as witchcraft, I study it whenever I get the urge to, but I don't practice it. I believe in witchcraft and I feel a strong draw to it(always have), but so far I've not gone further than reading about it. I'd have no problem visiting a psychic, if I weren't afraid of just losing money. I guess I'm just a student of the paranormal and occult at heart.

Lol sorry for rambling.

A lion is not a housecat, like the one curling up next to my feet right now.

 

[rosemerry]

Oh I know you weren't dissing me. I just know that my theory isn't one of the accepted ones if it is known at all.

I watch Haunted History there's a bed and breakfast that used to be a church. Well there is a "ghost" of a preacher who tucks in the guests in the middle of the night.

In pennsylvania two nurses were leaving the hospital. The elevator they were on didn't stop on the first floor but went to the basement. During the Civil War the building was a field hospital. The two nurses were in the elevator and saw the field hospital and could smell it but no sound. A doctor who was operating saw them, (they were in uniform), he waved for them to come in and help them operate on the man. They didn't. These nurses are known as serious and do not pull pranks so there is no reason to disbelieve them.

Anyway on those two instances and others is what I base my theory on.

 

[Lubiana]

things like that make me really wonder. ALL instances like that can't be fake. Something's going on but we just don't know what. Fortunately God does!

I'm glad you know I'm not meaning any offense. I actually think it was a good theory because I've never thought of anything like it before. Lol it just never crossed my mind so now I have something to contemplate. But I saw the episode too...I remember it vaguely, enough to know I saw the same episode. My favorite haunt is not too far from where I live. Have you every heard of Waverly Hills?

 

[Caitlin.ann]

Something's going on but we just don't know what.

That's what organizations like the American Ghost Hunters Society are trying to find out.
