The Ghosts We Think We See

People say all sorts of stupid things constantly. 27 people admitted to killing J.F.K. many many years after the incident. DO YOU BELIEVE THEM!?

i totally agree with the arguments above...but but but many people even claimed that they saw ghosts with their own eyes or they have experienced a supernatural incident.....so how can we explain this???

Correction: pardon me for using the term "class" with the error of equivocation in my comment before this. I should have used the term "course" in place of "class" the second time around.

Perhaps, this study's findings are meant to help those far too often judged by the mental health profession as having lost their marbles, and in need of psychiatric intervention. The results of this study, according to this article, seem to be, instead, that the human mind is made to do these things. That one is not "abnormal" but rather "normal". That the human mind is meant to do these things.

Boo! to you too. There is more to life than physical reality. There is also emotions, concepts, laws, essenses, continuity, beliefs and imagination. From physical reality, we perceive physical "things".
We see a particular horse and it is a physical entity but there is also the concept horse that is the essense of a horse. It contains the attributes of what we would recognize as a horse. While a physical horse is the product of nature, our concept of a horse is a product of our perception. Through what we peceive, we are able to change reality from raw materials to "things" we create. Things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. This means that nature uses the same rational process to create a horse as we use to create an automobile. Much of the physical world in which we live is a product of our imagination. Without the products of nature, we could not exist. Life is a binary system of physical and metaphysical reality. The ghost in the machine is just as real as is the machine. We need to give credit where credit is due.

Science does not know much about the brain. It is said we only use a small fraction of our brains. Look how long it took them to realize that people were suffering from depression, when in the past thay just claimed those people were nuts.Many people suffering from depression were given shock treatments. Spirits and many other uneplainable things in this world do exsist. I have had many starnge unexplainable things happen since i was a child. I have my recently deceased father contact me. I was not thinking about him to contact me, it just happened. Most people do think it was just their imaginations at first, but when they get over the shock or i can't believe feeling they realize it did indeed happen. Most people who never had anything unexplainable happen to them do not believe. Only when it happens do they believe.

The color spectrum, radio waves, x-rays, interference on electronic devices from the sun, these are all FORMS of energy that cannot be seen and yet they exist...... What will it take for one to think that a "ghost" might be present? Parapsychologists bring in electronic tools that clearly measure changes in the physical world around and within an area of supposed ghostly phenonmenon. What other- than a ghost will explain these changes when ALL other explanations are exhausted? Explanations like open windows, heaters, air conditioners, gas leaks etc.. when those explanations are ruled out at what point does one throw in the towel and say, from a scientific standpoint, there is no explanation for this energy being here and yet there it is. Hence the possibility of ghost could be considered. It's about being open-minded, psychologists and scientists are expected to remain open-minded about possibilities, otherwise the premise for their existence as scientists and psychologists is lost. Scientists to need to remain about minded about any hypothesis that would explain a situation. Refusing to remain open and considering possibilities is a travesty to the study itself.

As a little girl living in old seminary housing in Philidelphia while my father earned his degree, each night I went to bed anxiously awaiting the arrival of an old woman who came out of a circle in the wall above my bed. She would lean forward over me and say she had something to show me. I would then dream of past times and places, of women in long dresses and soldiers from the civil war. The dreams were often frightening with people being chased and murdered. My mother said that as a child I suffered night terrors, during which I'd be sitting up in bed with eyes open screaming for her, but unable to see that she was there trying to console me. I didn't mention the old woman while living in Philidelphia. Because my father was in the military, we moved to Mississippi, where my parents bought a house. Each night I went to bed at the new house looking for the old woman to come out of the wall, but she never came. Perplexed, I asked my mother, "Where is the old woman who comes out of the wall? She doesn't come at this house." It was with great relief that I realized that she wasn't here. The night terrors were gone as well.

Frost845 : The tools are staring you in the face.. It's called creation.. For everything created there is a Creator.. If you can't explain where everything came from, it makes perfect sense to me that there was a Creator that created everything you see and know here in this world.. You just don't want to see the obvious answer because you may think it's too simple of an explanation for such a complex designed creation..

Sharon Begley writes that skeptics, when given L-Dopa, saw more patterns. Dopamine, aside from "fueling a sense of reward", is also involved with the brain centers that control our ability to move smoothly. These, in turn, are connected to structures that assess our spatial environments (i.e. the patterns and objects around us, including words and faces) and plan how sequences of movements can be carried out in those environments. L-dopa, the precursor to dopamine, is also used to treat Parkinson's disease, to help regulate motor activity. So, It is not conclusive to say that the experiment shows that believers have higher levels of dopamine and therefore are seeing abnormal amounts of patterns (indeed, this could only have been tested if there was a control group, one that neither was intense in belief or skepticism); instead, it points towards another possible hypothesis: are skeptics deficient in assessing their spatial surroundings because they have lower levels of dopamine than the average human and therefore, are not as aware of their environment?

Supernatural - Paranormal - Positive Suggestion - Certified 5150 - ...I was raised by my Kapunas, whereas I was rasised in the belief of Akua (God) this is a good thing. I am Blackfoot and Choctaw Indian too, whereas I have been taught my tribal ways and I have a great respect for Father Sky and Mother Earth - both have the turtle as peace.
I have witnessed as many before me in my family visitations, from relatives and/or non-relatives who has departed this plane. Spirits,are not ghost and visa versa.
I have had this gift since childhood. I have seen an angel before my mother's passing and guess what? Angels do not have wings...It was us that placed wings on the angels for a more angelic acceptance. I have seen my ex-husband's spirit rise and depart in a star-burst, Back to my mother after her passing and she was taken, I placed my hand where she laid and a misty energy danced in and out of my hand, my 20 yr. old nephew started crying, he felt her spirit comfort him. When my fiance passed away I went to his home for the family gathering and the scent of coffee was in the air, (he and I are/were the only coffee drinkers). The family he was adopted into are Jewish. They have witnessed more than you can imagine when I am around, Why? because David is with me. You can agree to dis-agree but I do not think that you have the right to state what is truth or not, if you cannot back your findings.
Being able to see, smell, touch, and hear is not so unbelievable. A lot of people are not able to witness or they wish not to. I for one do not take the visitations lightly, again as with my faith in God and a believer in Jesus is a personal relationship.
Seeing patterns, lights, colors and shapes...You bet! Nothing has been set in stone. It never will either. But do not take what we have experienced and still experiencing and demean it, it is not yours to do and it is my relationship that I have with my departed one's, this has nothing to do with dis-respecting God either. And I am certainl;y not "touched" to mistake my minds process of accumlative daily jargon to mistake shapes or other forementioned as spirits.

True, science can't prove that spirits and ghosts don't exist, but rememeber this: Failing to prove that something doesn't exist doesn't prove that it exists.

If spirits and ghosts really existed I believe that everyone would know it. I mean, come on, there are nearly 7 billion people on this planet. Every single day 7 billion people live 7 billion separate lives and yet we hear very, very
little of paranormal activity. Usually when we do it's from someone on the shifty side of the fence. I think the only ones who believe in spirits want to believe it so badly that they wish it to be true.

And for those of you who talk to dead loved ones, you're dreaming. Dreams can be realistic and horrid, or realistic and wonderful. A human can reach orgasm in a dream which tells me that they can be very true to life.

Religion has nothing to do with ghosts. Ghosts are in fact a scientific phenomenon. There is an energy that continues to exist long after a person is no longer in that location. Energy is what explains the concept of a "ghost". Some people are just more sensative at sensing that energy than others. Hence people see things that others don't. Just because we can't "see" the color spectrum of light doesn't mean it isn't there.
