Do you believe in spirit's ?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Truth? I don't know.
I have had many experiences that as yet I can't explain. I am well aware that not being able to explain them now doesn't mean that they can't be explained in future
My mum died four weeks ago. I sat with her and held her hand. There was complete absence...nothing. However when I went into her bedroom hours later with my daughter she was definitely there for a brief moment.
Who knows. Those on both sides of the argument are equally convinced they're right |

"When there are multiple lines of verifiable evidence I'll believe. Same goes for God(s). It all makes for some good movies though. "
The thing about the supernatural , it’s not verifiable because if it is true it’s beyond the understanding of science . Once science catches up abs understands it , it’s no longer is supernatural.
Doe I believe there are things in this universe that exist and impact us and science doesn’t yet understand ? Yes - you’d be an idiot or (or a God) to think otherwise

I do and I don't.
I think I've experienced 'something'. Unless it was a hallucination.
When your two year old wakes you up and asks who the scary person in bed with you is and I'm in bed on my own, that's a bit freaky.  |

Do i believe there are the lost, dead, energy, spirits, souls wandering the earth?
Nope.
Is there something more than chemical, biological and electrical reactions in a living creature.
Yep, anyone whos seen someone pass knows something leaves.
Do some people and events leave an impression on the world that in the right circumstances can be felt or seen again?
Yeah I'd go with that.
Is there some evil entity out there? Yep but sorry to rain on the whole satan thing, it's in people. |

I agree with parts of this too. |

"I was with my husband when he died. I stayed with his body for 6 hours and during that time his face changed and he began smiling."
Did you find it comforting?
Just before my mum died she looked at something/one with a startled expression. |

I’ve nursed the elderly for years and had some experiences that I’m unable to logically explain.
At the end of life some have clearly seen departed spouses/loved ones waiting for them.
Maybe they have been hallucinating but the joy and comfort it brings to their final moments is undeniable.

The week before my Mum died she told me that it would be our last cup of tea together as she would be gone
Apparently my Dad had visited her and told her "won't be long, we're all ready now"
That Friday I had a call from the hospital to say she had been rushed in, on the Monday they turned off her ventilator...
I felt her go on the Sunday though, right after I got home from visiting her, it was like a light bulb had exploded and I just broke down.
There are definitely things at work that we don't understand fully, not until it's our time for sure |

We have no conscious awareness of most of the Universe. We know next to nothing about time, dark matter, dark energy, the anti-matter universe, gravity, seven of the perhaps eleven dimensions and much, much, more.
I believe that at certain times, in certain places, under certain circumstances, certain people have SUBCONSCIOUS access to some of the “hidden” knowledge. But the messages sent to their CONSCIOUS minds are often cryptic, or illogical, similar to the conscious recollection of dreams. The true meanings of the knowledge accessed can be obscure.
I feel that if we can find some way of gaining scientific access to the missing knowledge, many spiritual, paranormal, etc. sightings and experiences will become logically explicable and meaningful.

Only if you assume it's a beneficial god, a loving god.
Not a piss taking evil or worse totally indifferent god. |

Thank you and yes it does, Dad died over 25 years ago and he and Mum had been divorced for 10 years prior so to think he came back for her was of great comfort |

Wanting it to be true, doesn't make something true, no matter how much you want it.
Just look back at all the different "explanations" for the "supernatural" events that people claim to have witnessed. It NEVER stands up to the same scrutiny that people demand of science. Some of the "space star wishful thinking©" people use to support there hopes are as grounded in the real world as flat earthers explanations. |

I think if people want to see these things they'll probably see it. It’s a mind thing and whether you’re susceptible to certain things I think. I’m probably not. I’m very pragmatic/realistic and I’ve never seen or heard anything. Show me the proof in front of my eyes and I’ll believe it. Strangely enough nobody ever has. |

I believe there is something but I'm not sure what.
I have sensed and felt things but never seen 'a ghost'
I've been with 3 family members who have passed and all saw and spoke to relatives who had come for them. 2 of these people were seriously ill but not on any painkillers or medications that could have caused hallucinations.
As my old physics teacher (and some famous scientist but I can't remember who) used to say 'energy can't be created or destroyed, it just changes form' taking this into account what happens to the energy that makes us who we are? |

"... what happens to the energy that makes us who we are? "
The famous scientist was probably Einstein. We convert chemicals from our food and the air into other chemicals needed by our bodies. Our bodies covert some of the new chemicals into three different sorts of energy: movement, heat, and electricity.
When we die, all chemical food processing stops. All energy production stops. We stop moving. We radiate heat into the local environment until our bodies reach ambient temperature. The very small amount of unused electrical energy in our brains and nerves dissipates throughout the body and ultimately flows to ground. Just like the unused electrical energy in your hair dryer, phone and all other electrical appliances when you switch them off. We don’t feel this electrical discharge because it is far too small – it’s a bit like the drop of water sometimes left on a tap after it has been turned off.
