There is no such thing as Ghosts.

That is a ghost captured by my digital camera when I was walking through a cemetary. Lots of ghosts hang out in cemetaries, they say, but this is the only one that I ever did see. The cemetary is in Transylvania, I was there on business.

I took both of those photos, and that absolutely is my daughter. The only editing I've done to them was to resize them so the files would be small enough to attach them here. Otherwise, those photos are exactly the way they came out of my camera.

humm i do believe that there may be some sort of metapsychical energy left behind when we pass and this may then be interpreted as spooky apparitions. But do I beleive in the say ghostbuster's kinda ghosts? I would have to say no.

AAAAH OK.

Yeah I see on those ghost hunter TV shows they get excited when they see a bit of dust move across the camera (they call em ORBS.)

I used to get all spooked out by ghosts when I was a little girl using the Ouija Board but I really can't get charged up about it anymore.

The thing is, Jugs, sometime a ghost's image will show up on a photo and sometimes it won't due to the flux of the universal coordinate in relation to the position of the Big Dipper.

Yesterday, this movie poster did not show the ghost it does now.

3 "ghost" stories

I have 3 stories.

After my Aunt had died. For a number of nights as I was lying in bed I would feel the end of my bed get a depression as tho someone was sitting on it. I did have a cat but the depression was much heavier and there was no obvious cat meows and jumps.

After a few of these experiences I managed to control my fear and rather than turn on the light or freeze and do nothing I slowly rose up and felt over the surface of the blankets whilst my feet were still feeling the depression of the mattress. What I discovered was that the mattress was not being depressed at all and so I concluded that it was all in my mind.

The question was why was it in my mind. Do we delude ourselves or can the dead influence our cognition?

Another experience happened about two years later after my grandmother had passed away. I wanted to go check my mail box but for some reason the front door key had gone missing from it's hook near the door. I searched everywhere for those keys and failed to find them. I located a spare set of keys, left the house and checked the mail box and returned. Upon attempting to place the spare keys on the hook I discovered the original keys had returned... at which point I personally acknowledged my Grandmother indicating to me that she survived death in some form and suggested that surely there was better things to do than to move keys around. I reached this conclusion because other small things had occurred but not to a degree that I could discount rational explanations.

The final story was in my inherited Grandmothers house also like the story above. I had a female visitor and we were in the main bedroom (formerly my Grandmothers bedroom) doing "things" with her vibrator to her when it slipped and fell on the floor. Since we were "busy" we decided to collect it later. Later she was unable to locate it at all. She eventually found it placed back in her bag which was in the hallway. Neither of us moved it. The dead watch us fuck?

It is true that people see something otherwise normal and attribute paranormal things to it. But also real paranormal things do happen also. The trick is to separate them with logical and scientific thinking.

A really good book showing high quality evidence: http://www.thescoleexperiment.com/

Exactly!

I just saw this ghost in Central Park. Pretty cool, huh?



I was walking my dog, Fido, and inside the park about 50 meters from the street, three very short persons approached me. They were not dwarfs, just really short. One said to me,"The crow flys at night." and he stared at me. So I replied 'And, the Pope shits in the woods.' That threw them off a little, I think, because they started murmuring among themselves. Then, I saw this ghost, like off to the side of where we were all standing. Fido started to bark.

I lighted a cigarette and fumbled to put the matches back into my pocket. When I looked up again the ghost and the shorties were gone, poof, not a trace.
