Ghosts are real.

Discussion in 'Philosophy and Religion' started by neonspectraltoast, Sep 22, 2019.

  1. I believe in ghosts. Some ghost videos are just simply outstanding evidence that ghosts are real. I don't see ghosts everywhere, and I don't even know if I'm ever in the right mindset to see them, but I believe the videos. At least the good ones.

    I've seen a couple of videos of Gettysburg ghosts that were quite simply eerie. I believe what I see with my own eyes, even on video. I can't be fooled by CGI, either.
    I also saw a video of poltergeist activity in this guy's grandmother's old house. It was incredible. Cabinet doors were opening and closing... I wonder if poltergeists sometimes are just people who don't realize they're dead, and a lot of what they do is out of anger that they can't get your attention.

    A lot of people dismiss ghosts outright, because they don't want anything out there suggesting that we live on past death. But I'm not saying what ghosts are. And I don't know why you typically only see ghosts of human beings. Maybe it's because we have a unique kind of attachment to the Earthly plane.

    I'm not saying what ghosts are, but I believe the videos I've seen corroborate the reports. They are not faked. Not all of the time. And sometimes the ones that are not are incredible. So, I'm not saying what ghosts are, but ghosts are real.
     
  2. I've never seen any evidence for demons.

    I had one of those experiences recently where I was looking everywhere for a bright orange lighter, including moving my phone to be sure it wasn't obscuring the lighter somehow.. I saw a purple lighter and used that instead, then a few minutes later I looked and the orange lighter was RIGHT THERE, where the phone had been, less than an arms length from me. People say that kind of thing is ghosts. I can entertain the idea it was a kind of glitch in my brain, but I'm not sure. I don't mind accepting there is a thing we call "ghosts", I just don't think anyone knows for sure what it is, and it's unlikely to be dead people.

    I never believed in ghosts until I saw a picture a friend of mine took in a revolutionary era graveyard of one of his friends when they were teenagers..and beside his friend you can clearly make out another face with the creepiest, most horrifying expression.
    It was taken with a disposable camera in the 90s so definitely wasnt photoshopped.

    That made me a believer.
    But I dont really think of them like ghosts. I think of them as beings in another dimension, like a parallel world type thing, and sometimes our worlds collide and overlap. That's my theory
     
  5. What if we saw the ghosts of every critter we've eaten!!!

  8. I think ghosts are spooks from beyond the grave with a sacred call of duty to serve in the army of the night.

    I dont unfortunately but next time I see him I'll ask if I can get a copy. It's freaky.

    I usually am the type who can think up some sort of rational explanation but with this one I've got nothing

    There is a nearby Confederate cemetery that my friends and I would go to while I was in high school. We'd go there at night and drink and smoke pot and get really freaked out. I never saw anything inexplicable though.

    I think that I'll have better things to do when I'm dead...like decompose.

    Actually, if there happens to be an afterlife, you'll probably see me hanging out (as a poltergeist)at a nudist beach - with my clothes on, HA!

    a whole parallel universe and everything in it, that is neither physical nor imaginary, could very well be real, and probably is.

    what i doubt is that anyone in it, knows nor cares we exist, let alone wishes us any harm, nor owes bugger all, to what humans try to tell each other.

    On the film you speak of, is it foggy?
    Films get exposed all the time. both during manufacture and when loading them into a camera, Without a lens, the light is less and the exposure time greater, this giving the image a foggy out of focus appearance.
    We have had similar images on whole rolls of cinema film, but since they are contact printed and the images are not on the negative, filming ghosts would have been impossible.

    Another question I always ask is "If ghosts are spirits of the dead, where do they get their clothes from".????

    I have had several unexplained phenomenon happen to me that I believe were too circumstantial and coincidental to have happened out of fortune itself.

    I'm unsure as to whether I believe ghosts are ghosts as we've always known them to be as dead people or spirits, but I do believe there is enough energy in your soul and consciousness that upon death it could be possible for that energy to not dissipate and in turn form into particles of energy that might not have completely abandoned it's previous form.

    History tells us that our ancient cultures also believed in ghosts, and many ghosts are depicted throughout history as lost and wandering souls. Is it possible for you to be so swept up in something that when you die you're holding onto something very significant and that's when you get stuck in time. Your energy and consciousness leave your mortal state but that something was so crucial, that all that energy basically still stays in form with it's forever companion, consciousness.

    yes, but like other nonphysical things that are not imaginary, they owe nothing to what living people tell each other.
    they're also no particular threat to anything physical, nor is anything physical one to them.
