paranormal investigation/ghost hunters

[Utah Knight]

Maybe you can put a forum like this up under hobbies. It is estimated that 1/3 of Americans believe in ghosts. Also with more and more shows about ghost hunting and the sort comeing to television this is sure to get some good genuinely intrested people into the section

I support the idea of paranormal sub-forum. I want to discuss spirit phenomena and demonology but there is no dedicated area to post.

I am not talking so much as discussion/debate as i am in getting a section in the hobbies dedicated to the hobby of ghost hunting and paranormal investigation

Okay, I get it now. The idea is an interesting one. Are there others who have an interest?

 

[Speculative]

I'd be interested. I watch some of the Ghost Hunter shows and listen to Coast to Coast--so, yeah. I'd be interested. I'd also like it if we could discuss UFOs and such in it.

i'm sure there are a number of people who would have an intrest

The topic area would appeal to the public interest, but there is no empirical evidence suggesting any such thing actually exists, so it seems as though you would be endorsing a falsehood by establishing a forum dedicated to discussion of this topic. Also found statistics for you: home.sandiego.edu/~baber/logic/gallup.html

Paranormal is an umbrella term used to describe unusual phenomena or experiences that lack an obvious scientific explanation. In parapsychology, it is used to describe the potentially psychic phenomena of telepathy, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, ghosts, and hauntings. The term is also applied to UFOs, some creatures that fall under the scope of cryptozoology, purported phenomena surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, and other non-psychical subjects. Stories relating to paranormal phenomena are widespread in popular culture and folklore, but some organisations such as the United States National Science Foundation have stated that mainstream science does not support paranormal beliefs.

i think that a subject like this could go into what i suggest.. an 'Off Topic' forum.. for things which arn't to do with christianity in the main.. or don't have to be.. like paranormal stuff.. and conspiracies.. etc..

 

[Tinkerbell33]

This is a christian site.

 

[hiscosmicgoldfish2]

just because someone is christian dosn't mean that they think about nothing else.. ever.. and have no interests outside of christianity, whatever that is.. outside of christianity.. the hobbies are on this site, so playing a computer game, or discussing politics.. should that be on a christian site, because it isn't about the bible?

 

[Tinkerbell33]

Believing in the paranormal goes against what the Bible teaches.

I do agree, christians do think about other things, I have often wondered about the paranormal myself but I don't think that the forum is suitable for this site. *shrugs*.

I agree that there should a group to discuss such things, no matter if they are real or not. The type of shows mentioned above are just as popular here in the UK I don't if it should come under hobbies or a different area. As Christians we should be prepared to explore and not hide behind our faith. Instead we should use that faith to help us to discern from fact and fantasy. If a group gets going give me a shout. The reason for thinking that the hobbies section is the right place is that if 'ghosts' or 'spirits of the dead' do exist then this is a serious issue and not a hobby and the Christian/Biblical searching of scriptures should be considered important, after you would discussing or dealing with people that did have life just we do. Good old fashioned prayer is called for here.

i dont believe in ghosts... read Steve Wohlberg's book.. demons in disguise... that's what ghosts are.. as for other paranormal stuff.. who knows...

 

[GNews4BadTimes]

How about starting threads about this in the Apologetic area of the forum? Then it can be discussed there.

I think it would be interesting I love watching all the paranormal shows on Discovery and Travel Channel.

How many more votes do we need to create a new sub-forum?
