Paranormal Investigations.

[Theland]

Some go on "spooky lockdowns" with mediums and so called scientists to investigate this stuff.

Do you believe in a spirit world?

What investigations are done? Any real science?

This not being fickle or mocking, genuinely interested.

[Cloverjo]

This has been discussed many times here and elsewhere. There have been countless investigations and no one has proved anything.
I don't believe in it myself, despite being spooked in my first year student house, in which none of us would stay alone.

[Canary42]

God knows.

[dunnitall]

Yes there is 'something' there but we will never find out what on this level. Have lots of experience myself but I still would like to know as I'm not gullible enough to just believe without 'evidence'.

I don't believe in ghosts, afterlife etc.

Yet ghosts still scare me for some, totally irrational, reason.

[Mamyalynne]

There is something else besides the World we know.

I don't need lock downs or lock ins with mediums or scientists to convince me - I just know.

[Theland]

I was prompted to ask, because of today's Early Birds Thread on Chatterbank when one lady said she had been on a lockdown.

Doubt that very much Theland, its a round about way of starting a thread about spiritualality and how all things spiritual lead right back to Christianity.

But to answer the OP, I was once a member of a local paranormal investigation team. I was the token sceptic in the group!!

Don't understand this 'spooky lockdown' stuff, but there is definitely something spiritual/paranormal. I have seen it operating myself (not on my own, have witnesses). I have heard it. I am comfortable with it. Can't help with the 'real science'. I saw what I saw and I heard what I heard. No doubts at all about paranormal activity.

[Cloverjo]

I'm interested in why lock-downs and ghost hunts only happen at night. Do ghosts not come out during daylight hours?

At risk of having the micky taken, I'll tell you a story, Halloween '84 was out for a drink with a mate in Norwich, sat in a wine bar, I know, but the beer was good, group of girls came in one was obvously the temp landlords wife/g-friend. We had a look, as you do, I just said to my mate, Brunette in leather jacket is mine. Didn't have any contact with them that evening, got a number off the landlord a few days later. Met up about a week later, she had been moving to Saudi in about a month, had given away her dog, rented out her house. I had lost my mother about 3 months earlier, I never said a word to her about that and I'd never seen her before the w-bar. She had been to see a clairvoyant, whom I had never met, who told her she would not be going to Saudi as ********* my mother had told her that Dave was looking for her and wanted to meet her. She could have not got info from anywhere but my deceased Mother.

I used to live in a haunted house in the 60s. my son was constantly visited by ghosts and things used to fly around in the room at night smashing off the walls. My priest said my son was possessed and we needed an exorcism. I had to take out a loan to pay for it as it was quite expensive but the exorcism worked. Unfortunately I fell on hard times and could not repay the loan. My boy was repossessed.

Just been trolled by Nailit again at 20:35, so that's me out of here.
Could have Ben interesting.

Foul play there^, Theland. Shame on you. You are not a victim here.

Odd things happen - of that I've no doubt - but I think it's a mistake to assume it emanates from a 'spirit world'.

[Baldric]

Come on Theland, Just for once in your life Man-up.

load of old pony.

[david small]

Love it webbo3, very amusing.

[Old_Geezer]

I've had decent evidence of it's existence but won't know for sure unless it does exists and I find myself there at some point. You could check out the Society for Psychical Research if you wish.

//Just been trolled by Nailit again at 20:35//
Im prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt Theland. You think that I was trolling you (I wasn't) but going on past threads of a similar nature I think that I can safely assume where this is going.
And please feel free to correct me if Im wrong.

But to answer ur OP...Im not so sure about a spirit world. Had a few weird experiences but Im not so quick to put them down to a preconceived belief system or a paranormal explanation. The best that I can do is say ''at this moment in time, I don't know''

//What investigations are done? Any real science?//
Quiet a lot. Results tend to be a mixed bag.

As said @ 20:35 I was a member of a paranormal research group and was the token sceptic. Never really came across anything that couldn't be understood by basic psychology or physics.

[Tilly2]

I, too, would like to know what the science behind it is.

Strange chap Nailit. Always lurking on the edge of some belief system or other.
Christianity, paranormal?
If you haven't found it yet, then what?
Kick the believers?
