Has anyone had a genuine super-natural experience?

[tonywiltshire]

I would love to believe in ghosts, as it would support my hope that there is an after life, but I have never had any experience of the super-natural.
Has anyone had a genuine super-natural experience?

EEEKKK Netibiza! I regularly stay in a house on Finchely road. What number did you live at (roughly)?

I've used a ouija board a few times and nothing really happened. The first time I done it I was completely convinced but I was only about 13 and when I look back at the things that were spelled out, they were a load of crap!

Saying that.. I saw a psychic in April when I was in Blackpool. She told me a lot of things that were true. Just before I left she suddenly told me she saw a death in the next 18 months. This really scared me and I often worry about it :(

When I was younger my Dad got his own pub. He spent the first few nights living there on his own whilst the rest of the family stayed at the house. The cellar was on the same level as the rest of the pub, below the accommodation and was laid with concrete. The nights my Dad was there on his own he heard the very loud, distinctive sound of the metal barrels being rolled down the cellar. Obviously thinking he was being robbed he went to check it out and found nothing. Nothing appeared to have been moved either. As there was no access (without having being very clearly broken into, it was like fort knocks) there was never any explanation. I actually asked him about this a few days ago and he said he's always been a bit freaked out by it.

Like your approach marty. Reckon we all have these fancies about the supernatural in some backwater of our minds and telling yourself thats it a lot of old cobblers is the best thing.

Certainly seems to keep the ghosties away seadogg !

It would be very interesting if it was true but much as I would like to believe I do not. I often know what is going to happen before it does and am not surprised when it happens but I think it is because my brain picks up on small indications and I am not psychic.

Dogs appear to anticipate events too Starbuck.

I'd try not to get too concerned were I you, erin. The description you gave seems rather vague. Could be family as I suspect you'd assume, but could be a pet, could be someone you know vaguely, maybe the neighbour's cat. Well anyone really. And given that it would only be reasonable to allow a tolerance for getting it, that 18 months can stretch to, well what, 2 years ? 3 years ? With that lack of detail it's too easy to assign an event to the past prediction regardless. Now a name and a date, that'd be evidence of getting information from non-normal places, were it to come to pass. Not to mention speak volumes on the nature of time and the ability to be outside it observing.

To Tony......I was divorced and eventually ostracised by all three of my children. That still hurts and seems permanent but I will always love them and regret my misgivings.

[naomi24]

Yes - many - but I don't believe that anything is 'supernatural'. Sometimes we experience things for which we currently have no explanation - that's all. I'm convinced science will get there some day. ;o)

[tonywiltshire]

Matheous2: It happens when children take sides, they seem to think it is disloyal to support both sides, I think they will know your true feelings.

Starbuckone: I also find it hard to believe but if these are genuine experiences they are hard to explain by anticipating small indications.

Thanks Tony -I appreciate your understanding.....

unfortunately, as soon as someone starts their supernatural story with "i was asleep on the armchair and...", or " i was in bed and...", and i am afraid the story loses all credibility...

dreams can, and often do, feel very real.

it is also very easy to 'spook' yourself... as someone said, after watching a spooky film, we often feel more sensitive to our surroundings and being to 'feel' things... so stories in which people just 'felt a weird feeling', or a tingle or some sensation, also lose credibility

stories that involve more than one person or even have been filmed are a different matter...
