There must be thousands of people all out searching for proof of ghosts...with their cameras and infrared meters and suchlike...but not one of them has EVER filmed a ghost - strange that :v
Probably the same people who believe in the Loch Ness Monster and Big Foot. )
I am not a religious man. I don't believe in an afterlife.
I have seen an apparition, twice. I think that under certain conditions we are capable of "seeing" the past for a few seconds - a kind of time warp where the past catches up with the present.
I have seen a UFO - something I cannot explain. There were three witnesses to the event. My opinion is that we are not alone in the universe. Most sightings can be explained. There are others that cannot. There is no reason that advanced civilisations have not solved the problem of travelling vast distances very quickly.
Visiting Loch Ness is on my bucket list. I may find the monster . I have actually been to Loch Ness but never saw it (I will tell that tale in my upcoming "Rise and Fall of the Second Hand Bookshop" which I will begin on my return from my forthcoming vacation).
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
The Loch Ness Big foot, I could see a series of children's books with him in them.
I'm curious as to why people label something odd that they've seen, as being of a "paranormal"
Explanation ? Depending on if they're religious, superstitious, a believer in UFOs etc. So given
What their interest is, the odd shape, blur, or curious feeling is described as. A ghost, an angel,
An alien ?
As my thinking in all things unknown is, if 95% of what we see can be explained by mundane,
Everyday explanations then logically the unknown 5% is more than likely to have a similar
Mundane, everyday explanation. At this moment we may not know what the explanation is, but
It is more than likely to have a very boring unexciting answer.
An example from me would be is if I carried out a check of 95% of cars in my area and discovered
That 95% of all the cars I could see ran on petrol or diesel ( with a few hybrids, for the green lobby )
So given that Infomation, I could assume the 5% I couldn't check would also run on petrol or diesel.
I wouldn't immediately think it must mean the 5% must run on Unicorn horn clippings or the sweat from
Angel's armpits.
Basically I wonder why some people given an odd event, look for a scientific, everyday answer, while some
Immediately look to "paranormal" reasons for the event ?
I know for many as the OP states, it's a belief. Perhaps even passed down from past generations
mixed with a need to think that there's more to existence, than working 9 to 5 , having kids then death.
Although I find enough wonder and mystery in the regular world we live in, from watching your baby grow
and learn to discovering an old friend has discovered she can wiggle her ears !
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
you may recall that my dad died this year ,well the night after he died I was still at my mums ,and it was time to go to bed ,so off went my mum to her room ,and I went to the spare room,My mum has a big dog (he is big ) and off he went to sleep with my mum in her room .Well I shut the door got into bed ,lights out ect ect .After about a minute I thought to myself "oh bloody hell Mickey (he is the dog) got off the bed and go back to mum , I could feel this huge weight on the foot of my bed ,so natuarully I assumed it was the dog ,and he decided to kip with me , so I rolled over turned on the light expecting to see this slobbering mutt looking sheepish at me ,but no ,there was nothing there ,my door was still shut ,as was my mums ,and Mickey was soundo in his basket .
I can only think it was my dad saying goodbye 8-)

It's a reassuring thought AS, echoes my own experience with my grandpa.
It was either that.....or the priesthood

Exhibit B: The Ghost Monk of Newby Church, Church of Christ the Consoler, Skelton-cum-Newby, North Yorkshire, 1963. Another compelling one taken by a church minister:
This is near ripon in North Yorkshire, I've spent time in that area,
There is a copy of that picture (or was) in a local pub called. The crown. The church was built as a memorial to a man who was murdered overseas by his mother. The photo of the masked Monk was taken by a minister who was locally renowned for liking a tipple or ten, the interesting thing is that the mask is thought to be a plague or leprosy mask, but no plague or leprosy was ever associated with that church, but there was a lepers church in ripon itself that the minister often visited. But obviously in 1963 such things were history. Coincidentally the lepers church is now a domestic house and l did work towards its conversion and conservation.
) God bless, Photoshop and Light room -{
I remember putting a few Ghost's into some Halloween photos of the kids. When they
We're in the back garden playing with their sparklers.
Also "Double exposing" the film was how they did many of the space special effects in
Moonraker.

Fake I'm afraid.
Do I believe it ghosts? Not sure what you'd call a ghost. I've experienced some weird crap I can't explain, but my mind remains open. I'd like to think there's more to life and death than simply being born, working and pegging it.

I used to be a skeptic myself, untill witnessing a stunningly beautiful ghost....

Wtf? Surely I'm missing something there??? Is that a mathematical fact?
To quote Churchill ( the dog, not our wartime leader ) oh Yes !
For many thousands of years, there wasn't many humans, it's only lately
We've got to huge numbers.

I got my calculator out for this one but it just says 'E'. Maybe it's hinting at what I need to take in order to work this statistic out.

On the subject of haunting, ghosts seem to be early adapters of new technology. Affecting phones,
Recording devices, temperature gauges etc. So would anyone know any stories about Haunted web
Sites, or possessed computers ?

Anyone who's updated to Windows 10 can attest to a haunted computer!

It would seem, that even Magicians are now being accused of being Demons !
Bring back the witch trials.
This is a basic lack of knowelge of how magic tricks and illusions work, and in my
opinion helping terrorists, as ISIS doesn't like magic or Magicians either. )

Sorry, my mistake. Of course you are quite correct.

Just thinking, if you believe in ghosts, would that be proof against reincarnation ?

Just as a counter,

Windows Vista !
I took heed with your cautionary suggestion and so did the sensible thing and exercised it.
Perhaps you could lend some kind words of advice on how to remove various buttons and shards of LCD from a treadmill?
