Do You Believe In the paranormal and Did you ever experience supernatural Phenomena?

[LadyW]

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

No it definitely wasn't a dream, but I'm willing to except it was a hallucination... who knows, really But it was certainly an experience - real or not, haha.

[blazeofglory]

I had moments like this

[wilbur lim]

I did not hitherto see a UFO before.These extraterrestrial aliens in the UFO reputed curse some people and make them psycho or suddenly loss their consciousness.Aliens would apparently rule the Earth,is it genuine or a myth?

I had a similar experience many times in my life. I don't believe in supernatular phenomena so i asked a friend of mine, a doctor, and he told me that there is a state of sleep where you actually sleep with your eyes half open and you are not exactly asleep (something in the middle) and you have a consciousness of the world around you and make it part of your dream. This happens in periods of stress etc..he told me what the name of this state is but i forgot both the name and the full explanation. Anyway what i saw all these times is somewhat what you explained in your previous post..a strange distorted face, wringled and veiled, possibly threatening..the doctor said that what i really saw was my bedsheets which at this point may have taken a weird shape. My half sleeping mind turned those bedsheets into a face

Things happen and science follow in to define them.

No, Blaze, no. Science is still inchoate and 'swinging in Nature's cradle''!

There are yet no explanations to many many mysteries of the physical and paranatural phenomena! Just look aroud and you will be more than amazed!

[The Atheist]

Wow, now that's a bold statement, every single instance? How do you quantify that?

Because most, if not all, paranormal claims have been investigated and not one has had any believable evidence whatsoever.

Even the Parapsychological Association admits that almost all cases of paramormality are false, but that their own results are true, however, upon verification, the PA results themselves have been shown to be wrongly interpreted.

I'm pretty comfortable in claiming that not one single instance of paranormality remains unsolved.

I am witness to a paranormal scene

Wild healthy and active pigeons loosely held in hand when released were not able to take off for considerable time,,,,some took upto one hour, others more,and some could only flit,,very few could take a straight dive into the sky,,,and the one that was first 'touched' couldn't even move! Instead, his eyes bulged out, red as fire, he trembled and his neck elongated to double its length so I could count every digit of his vertebrae, his feathers fluffed, the shine of his feathers dulled down to a deadly fade! I shoes him, shouted , made noise but nothing would make him budge, He was just dying!


It was horrible. All this happened in the presence of 6 other people in my house! I picked up the dying pigeon and gently placed him in the open so that he could get away. But ot my amazement he just couldnt move! My staff and I stood afar watching as to what happened next but the weird bird won't move from its place! Then suddently a cat then a dog tried to approach him but to our amazement they turned back after taking a few steps ahead and went their way without coming near the bird! The place where the bird 'stood' was an open field ,,,,,,with no other people or noise there! this happened about 12 years ago!

How would my friends here explain this? Atleast i can't figure out what happened to the bird and why the bird could'nt fly,,,why it began to die??

seriously? that's your response to "How do you quantify that?". Your response is almost as good as saying "because I said so"?

1) huh?
2) got links?

A ghost threw a hairspray lid at me when I was 12. I was in the bathroom alone. The hairspray lid was on the tub and it hit me on the back. I was standing up which means that the hairspray lid did not FALL from anywhere. If it wasn't a ghost, I don't know what it could have been. It could have been a fast moving alien or something I suppose. Or a strange isolated gust of wind that originated in the bathroom.

No, I was explaining that many genuine researchers have investigated claims of paranormality. I'd hoped people would research it themselves.

However, links I have, in spades.

I find the best place to start is with the Parapsychological Association.

Then move on to Richard Wiseman, paranormal research and professor at Hertfordshire University in UK.

Another superb reference site is Susan Blackmore, former psychic herself, now a paranormal & psychological researcher and visiting lecturer at Uni of West England.

Then the world's largest and best resource on failures of paranormality, James Randi, http://www.randi.org/ who's spent over half a century debunking frauds and offering huge money challenges to any person able to display a paranormal ability.

This is great - exactly the sort of thing which crops up.

There is one potential rational possibility you missed. All aerosol cans have plastic lids which "snap" on. If it isn't put on properly, it can spring off using the kinetic energy stored in the plastic, which is twisted and under pressure. When they flip off, they can travel several metres.

Not likely to be a gust of wind or alien. (Aliens never use the bathroom)

That's a good theory except that it wasn't aerosol. It was Rave super hold in the pump bottle and the lid wasn't on the bottle. it was on the tub. And a curious alien who is observing earthlings might hang out in the john just to see what us humans are up to. It could happen.

Your links don't really help all that much, it's all pretty vague with tons of links to books or other websites.

I challenge anybody to explain why the pigeon almost died upon touching??
Why were cat and dog scared and won't come near the dying pigeon?
Why that happened??

I am not sure but I can try that again,,,,with someone haunted!

[Poetess]

I chose "I'm open-minded on the subject as to help myself try to ignore The Paranormal, while I do believe in this.


I experience the paranormal on a daily basis, and I don`t know what to call it. It is a long story that i`m not going to bore anyone with it. But I would gladly like to share my over 11 year-old experience of it.

Apart from my experience, I have seen videos of ghosts, and a friend of mine was investigating about lol.. Well so yes, I do believe in the Paranormal.
