Do you believe in ghosts, or aliens, or other paranormal?

Hmmmm. maybe you're seeing something on a different plane of existence. There's really no way to be sure. All I know is my experience has NOT been pleasant.

~pray for your safety~.....
amen.

Oh, don't worry about my safety. The most that can be done is fucking with my head. Fortunately I've got a strong mind. The advantage to dealing with the incorporeal.

I see people sometimes when I walk up my staircase. I've tried touching them, but the outlines and sometimes faint features keep disappearing. But then again, I hear voices and see things when I'm about to sleep, so maybe it's something wrong with me. In any case, I think ghosts are real, and same with aliens.
Theres so many planets and stars out there, but only so many possible elemental combinations that there has to be some form of life(intelligent) out there.

Well, if they start reacting to you be careful, and seek some sort of assistance. My advice is to show no aggression or fear.

Have you ever tried mirror gazing? I never tried it personally, but my brother did and he almost went insane. I've always believed that my mind is a lot stronger than his, so I don't know what I would see, but at some point I plan on trying it.

most seem to take a may or may not approach...

well, i dont think they do exist (except for aliens...the universe is just to big a place for us to be the only cosmic accident)

what was the name of the little green guy from mars on the flinstones?

the great gazzoo (i would have said lrn2wiki but this isnt /b/, right?)

thank you

to keep the matter of perception of reality fresh i refer you to the symptoms of sleep paralysis. the ideology of existence versus being became a nightly ordeal for me to verify due to this condition. dark figures would appear from benighted corners and corridors with the intent of 'killing me', the reality of it being that i was forced asleep. i couldnt move and could only whisper during there approach, remaining paralyzed in somewhat of a pre-slumber. the result of these hallucinations were nightmares of me and my family dying or suffering horribly by the figures hands. i was forced to deny these acts of malicious intent verity to insure a somewhat normal childhood.

i didnt perceive these images within my mind, the mind fabricated them into reality. the only differential between these visions and a halucination is that these figures physically interacted with me, i could feel a grip on my throat or a sharp pain in my stomach.

so i ask you jesus, what does one make of something when it is perceived by the concious as a true to life threat but subconciously aware that it is capable of no physical harm? what does the experience become?

Its fairly obvious that our ideas of reality, being, and existence differ. I don't mean to say that you are wrong. Its just that I can only go on what I know. An experience is an experience, regardless of the conscious and subconscious awareness. In my personal opinion, I can say anything exists, but at the same time it doesn't. However, I find that as a subjective being, its natural to argue on the behalf of existence. Its pretty difficult for me, personally, because for so long I've attempted to see things as objectively or, more realistically, with as little subjectivity, as possible. The whole point of what I'm saying is, that from a subjective opinion anything we acknowledge, in anyway, exists.

As I argued in the way of nothingness, in recognizing that it is the absence of anything, it becomes something. Therefore, any argument regarding nothingness as not existing is pointless. In regard to dreams, the same can be said. We can deny that they are real, but in effect we are affirming their existence. Even if we ignore something, the fact still remains that in our minds there is something to ignore. Mental fabrication implies that there is something within your mind, conscious or subconscious, there is something to be fabricated. What you define as real depends on your subjective opinion, but it would seem to me that making a statement that anything doesn't exist is a contradiction of itself.

I dont know if I think they are real as much as I want them to be real aliens I mean. ghosts creep me out(ive seen the grudge) :?

I remember when i asked my dad about aliens, he said he listened to a radio talk show in the 70's, and a scientist did a calculation on the chances of there being the same conditions for life, the same mass of earth, the same average amount of water, distance from the sun, etc. and multiplied it by how big they thought the universe was. The chances of there being an alien lifeform, whether it be on a gas or terrestrial planet were an overwhelming 99.999% (ongoing).

Given the size of the universe, its almost guaranteed that somewhere out there, there is life, of any form.

This is kinda off topic, but they just found the first proof of ICE on Mars. Exciting isn't it? there could be signs of fossilized bacteria or carbon based material. Extremely fascinating, although with the amount of time Mars had to evolve from bacteria was phenomenally small, so they are probably no more than mere bacteria. Still, it disproves most bible claims.

In regards to ghosts.

LAWLLOLOLOLOLOROFLMAOLOLROFLCOPTERHAHAHLOLOLOOLOLOLOL.

ok seriously i dont believe in ghosts. but i do believe in the boogie man! :D

I'm kinda a skeptic, I hear all these hauntings and UFO/ET sightings happening all over the world, yet until I actually see something, I'm not going to believe it.

Actually I retract on the hauntings,stuff about ghosts and spirits and the like freak me out, though I've never experienced poltergheists or hauntings. After I saw The Grudge I couldn't sleep well for a few nights.

that gray chick still keeps me up at night.

Well, I have no clue where you live, but if you're ever in Howe, Texas look into the "Bamboo House". I'm reasonably certain you'll have some sort of experience.

I live in Cali, people here are weird anyways so a haunting would seem like nothing, lol

well I'm kinda the "see is to believe"kind of a person but isn't kinda lonely that we are the only intellectual beings in the universe that's scary. because imagine the whole world is a person locked in a dark room alone isn't it kinda scary and somewhat lonely??? :( :( :( :(

When a very close friend of mine died, not to mention he was injured in the apartment I lived in, a moth flew into my apartment a few weeks after he died and stayed there for about a week or so. I believed it was it was my friend because I usually heard butterflies or moths are a sign of rebirth.

Other than that I believe in aliens and ghosts just because it's fun to believe in that kind of stuff.
