    Being from the South, I do believe that there could possibly be souls roaming around lost. Or maybe they are watching over the ones they left behind. All things are possible. I have never seen one, but I know folks who have and I don't believe they are making things up or crazy or anything like that.

    There are things that occur in our lives ,
    we do not find a scientific explanation, because there is another world invisible to us, but things happen often indicate their presence. As for me,
    I believe in jinn existence with full faith This is also part of my doctrine, the Quran talked about the jinn in more than one position, and there is a complete verse with the name of jinn


    In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
    [72:1]

    Say (O Muhammad): It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear, and they said: Lo! we have heard a marvellous Qur’an,


    [72:2]

    Which guideth unto righteousness, so we believe in it and we ascribe no partner unto our Lord.

    [72:8]
    And (the Jinn who had listened to the Qur’an said): We had sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors.

    [72:9]
    And we used to sit on places (high) therein to listen. But he who listeneth now findeth a flame in wait for him;
    ((And we used to sit on places (high) therein to listen. But he who listeneth now findeth a flame in wait for him.))

    I think that most of us saw that flame in the sky at night , that flame make a strange movement and then disappear , as if it had finished its mission.

    Talking Did you ever experience mysterious or supernatural phenomena ?

    Did you ever experience supernatural phenomena ? well those of you who have experienced any unusual or mysterious happening in life which cannot be explained on scientific basis not only I would be pleased to know about it but it would also provide some food for thought to those who either don't believe in magic, clairvoyance, intuition or the like or who are skeptical about such things.

    Okay, let's go!

    Every day I have a mysterious feeling. I had indeed experienced them.
    Everything in the world is a mysterious phenomenon, and we all are mysterious beings.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    How would someone know whether what they saw/felt/heard cannot be explained by science?

    A person would need to be an expert at a large number of sciences to state that science could not possibly explain it. Maybe a theoretical neurosurgeon and psychologist with a PhD in phsyics and a strong interest in the action of light on the human retina, but for 99.99999% of people, the proposition is quite meaningless.

    When people say that something is "beyond science", that usually equates to "I can't explain it." Another point is that humans make shocking eyewitnesses. Ask any cop about the complete unreliability of eyewitness testimony.

    Still, good idea for a subject, I'm always keen to explore stories of supposedly supernatural phenomena.

    Food for thought is right, although I have to confess that I suspect the dish is likely to be a little stale. To date, not one instance of genuine supernatural/paranormal phenomena has been shown to have happened and every claim has a rational explanation.

    Let's see what comes out....
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    Déjà vu is a very common phenomenon and I think most of us have experienced it sometime in our lives. There is a scientific explanation for it I think, though I've forgotten what it was. I believe it was from one of those Time articles.

    As for other supernatural phenomena, like ghosts/spirits, I haven't experienced them, and thank God I haven't

    Precisely,déjà vu is too cliche,we invariably do what we need to do what we should do virtually everyday.Phenomenon is peculiar to one,for the chosen one would suffer in anguish.I did not hitherto been through phenomenon and extraterrestrial things,unless I literally see a UFO or a ghost.But being a Christian and obey God makes that not to happen.

    Blaze, thanks for joining in. What I am looking for is something , something 'supernatural' or 'magical'-----unexplainable and weird ---that one might have experienced personally. For example, there are reports that some people died and were taken for burial when they suddenly got up!

    One gotta be something of a Poe to experience such mysteries or more!

    I just noticed something in the number of replies and views for this thread, that when read horizontally they display the very interesting number "666." I wonder what this means?
    Wish hard enough, I could turn it to what I like.

    It means nothing! The number is now 866!

    if you want to learn more about this superstitious belief regarding the number 666 (why seen horizontally and not verically? How would Einstein's e=mcsquare seem if read 'vertically' ??) here is a link

    Yes I have funnily enough, about 3 years ago now. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the close relatives or friends I told actually believed what I was saying; either that, or they put it down to a mere trick of the mind. Maybe it was... but it sure didn't seem like it at the time.

    I was lying in bed, very hot and uncomfortable; I couldn't sleep at all. So I propped my pillow up, and sat there wide awake. I noticed this figure at the bottom of my bed. It looked like someone sat on the floor in a long white veil and dress. I just froze completely - I couldn't scream, I couldn't move.

    Eventually I gathered myself together and threw the bedcovers over me, praying that when I got back up, it would be gone.

    About 10 minutes later, I mustered the strength to uncover myself. It was still there. This time, although I was still scared, I didn't feel a need to hide; I was actually rather curious. So I crawled forward and took a closer look, it was just there gazing at me. It looked rather like an old lady with big grey eyes in this veil.

    After this, I just lay back in bed and fell asleep; by morning it had gone. But there was nothing at the end of my bed that I could have mistaken to be anything else...

    intersting experience, LadyW but it sounds more like a dream,,,,,,or perhaps hallucination

    We all talk about magic , mysteries and weird but there's hardly anyone who has physically happened to deal with them in real life. I experienced one ----unexpalined one,,,before several living witnesses and it still amazes me as to how that could have happened?? That was a REAL mystery!

    Yes, I went through the experience personally and physically in the presence of several witnesses,,,I still can't figure out how that could happen?

    I tried the 'experiment' again at a friend's house, though the result was not as good as before but it left everyone present with their mouths open!
