Do ghosts exist?
-
Hi I am new but this topic caught my eye as it has always been a major interest of mine and i actually belong to a group of guys who do some paranormal research.
My position on this is that something does seem to be going on but whether or not it is the not so restful spirits of mortals who have passed on or some yet unexplained anomaly is still up in the air.
Ghosts and tales of ghosts seem to be part of our folklore regardless of where a person hails from and I am beginning to think that the very first ghost stories may have been told around caveman camp fires.
Every language in the world has a word for ghost...or the concept of someone walking about after they have died. Even in the remote forests of the amazon, tribes with very little to do with western culture and movies etc will know what you are talking about.
I think that this is an experience that all walks of humanity have encountered and has lasted thousands of years.
Actually if one considers there to be a God or a Creator Spirit, the idea of ghosts or earthbound or visiting spirits is not too far fetched.
I have myself seen things that have been hard to explain although perhaps scientifically they can be explained. I was at a friend's house and saw a water bottle jump up and then fall on the floor. It didn't just topple over but actually lifted up and then went down.Anyways I suppose that is not proof conclusive but it made me look twice lol. Nice to be here and I hope to post more. I am looking for a nice place to post without a lot of hassle and crap )

both cats and dogs react to movement we dont observe at all. A single floth of dust can be enough to paralyse the animal while its trying to figure out to attack, be alert or ignore this movement.
Ghosts is all in our heads. There are many things that can make you see ghosts, spirits, angels and what not. Vibration can create this phenomena aswell. if they are real or not is not really important to us here and now.
After several run ins with "things that werent there", i have come to the conclusion that they are my own mental images. My own constructs that the brain pulls out from the storehouse to cover up for something its observing byt doesnt know how to interpretate.This universe if FULL of strange shit, and its not ghosts. But how can you explain something you have no idea in the world what is? Study shows that as much of 50% of what we see, is merely what we expect to see. The brain is as the rest of us, lazy.

lol Ahmed i have no desire to criticize anyone or their religion. I think God is best served if we recognize diversity and difference. He or She is many things to many people.
Personally I guess I believe in a Creator who has no name. I think sometimes that this Deity sent certain higher evolved messengers to us to teach us how to live with one another. I think the messengers were known by many names...perhaps names now lost to us over the passage of time and all we remember are the most recent messengers....Buddha, Christ Jesus, Mohammed....
I think though that the people may not have been ready to hear the message of how we were supposed to live with each other and perhaps we even thought we knew better than God and instead of hearing the wisdom that was gifted to us...what we did was create religions about these Holy people who just came to teach us and did not mean for us to create the religions we have done.
Surely God would have said to His or Herself.... "I want these children of mine to learn to live together and to understand how valuable they all are to me....I will send to them the message of love I want them to learn"
I really do not believe God wanted us to make his messengers into religions because...if you lose the original message because of the corruption and violence of religion...what is the purpose in that?
)
Bet you didn't think I thought like this did you?
LOL
Anyway no offense intended...just my feelings on issues. I generally respect every man and woman's right to worship God in the manner they feel is most fitting.
peace Ahmed )

jim i dont believe in ghosts. I too am interested in researching the field, however all roads seem to be leading to scientific theories, medical conditions, psychology, hypnosis etc etc.
Until someone can show me a jinn face to face i dont think i will believe it, i have heard plenty of stories of 'spooky' goings on from here in london to my parents remote village in pakistan. most of these encounters are due to paralysis attacks.
There was also a very interesting article on the net about how infrasound (really low frequencies like 5hz) have an effect on humans causing hallucinations, feelings of something in the room etc etc. strangley enough usually 'haunted buildings' have a very high infrasound rating, due to wind gusting down corridors and thin walls...
trying to find the article now.
