Have you ever experienced something of a paranormal nature?
Dictionary.com says Paranormal is Basically, something that happens without a scientific explanation. Or I just call it "spooky goings on"

The nearest I've got to a paranormal experience was about a year ago. I was walking on a path that led up to a bridge over the canal, on my way to school. The path I was walking in is almost adjacent to a road, but it was quite empty, and quite early in the morning. On the opposite bank of the canal, is a derelict glass works with a yard of cars. I was just minding my own business walking along this pavement, and then I heard some weird noise to my right. It sounded quite eerie, and lasted for less than a couple of seconds. It was coming from really near to my right shoulder - the side by the canal. Only when I turned to look over to my right, nothing was there. Just the canal, no birds or animals on it either. I can't quite describe the sound, just that is was very creepy and not too loud. The noise was shrill and it could maybe have been produce by an animal, but I'm not sure.
I carried on walking and it happened another two times, looking over my shoulder each time, I saw no evidence of what could have been making the noise. The noise actually stopped when I reached the middle of the bridge and when a car happened to go passed me.

My sister has had a paranormal experience before, it happened one day when she was all alone in our house. The room she was in, happened to be our bedroom, on the 2nd floor (2 floors above ground level), and the only room above this bedroom is a very cramped and cluttered attic. Boxes and furniture occupy this room, there's literally no room in there to breathe, yet alone to fit a person in or for them to walk around. This attic is only accessible from a single trapdoor, which is housed in the staircase's ceiling.
Sat around reading a book, nothing spooky I'll have you know, at about five in the evening, she suddenly heard, from above, heavy footsteps, on the opposite side of the room's ceiling. The owner of these footsteps, could have been walking in workman's boots, and they moved in an irregular shuffle. They seemingly headed towards her, no boxes or furniture could be heard scraping out of this person's way, she froze hardly breathing, hardly believing what she could hear. The footsteps neared the ceiling above where she resided, they suddenly stopped. She sat motionless for a hour, never to hear the footsteps again.
She refuses to stay alone in the house to this day.

My friend had an experience with the paranormal today. She was in her bathroom, about to wash her hair, when she heard somebody whisper "red" and then another word. She was quite shocked by this, as you would be if you heard someone talking in a room unoccupied apart from yourself, but when she turned to look, the room was as before - unoccupied. She washed her hair, then looking in the mirror, she sighted a person looking over the top of the bathroom door, which was open slightly. Once again, she looked for a person, but sighted no-one. Not even in the adjoining rooms.

I found these on a forum, they are really quite strange, I must say:

You know what really weirds me out, i mean, I've had some stuff kinda like these stories, but what is really weird to me is when I have a feeling about someone, like, something totally random about their life that I have no possible way of knowing, and I mean big stuff, but I get the weirdest feeling and then my feeling turns out to be true and... eh, just freaky.

Good job:) You just received a bunch of credits by copying half of other people's thouthts. I hope, you at least realize that you could say all of that in less than 10 lines of forum text.

On subj. I don't believe ina ny of that. All those stories are just coincideces followed by human fear adding details that were never there.

P. S. Answering your unspoken question - yes, I am an atheist.

If you ask me, paranormal stuff is like. When we can't explain something we think well. It must be like paranormal.

Well thousands of years ago stuff happened that people didn't understand and they made up explanations for it. I reckon ghosts are just the same thing except a few thousand years later.

I'm not religious, I have no religion at all, yet I believe in this to some extent. So in that way, religion doesn't have to do with PA...



Good point. If it was to do with religion, it would not be called Paranormal Activity, but "miracles".

People who are spiritual but do not participate in organized religion may have the strongest belief in psychic abilities. Also, emerging research indicates that genetic factors may have a role in spiritual and paranormal beliefs

When you talk to someone about life after death, you might engage them in a religious discussion. Different religions present different hypotheses concerning what happens to your soul after you die. At the other end of the scale, they might simply declare that the soul doesn't even exist, and that there is no afterlife.
Of course, others will proclaim that you become a ghost.

This might indeed represent the majority of people. But do people really understand what they are saying when they talk about "becoming a ghost"? I think not.
There are many district yet related concepts which together come loosely under the umbrella of spiritualism. If you ask someone about what they think about mediums, you'll receive anything from outright disbelief to complete enthusiasm.

Many people will say that they've visited mediums, and been presented with positive results. Others will declare the whole thing a con - a way for deceitful people to exploit people's beliefs to make money out of them.

I could talk in similar terms about telekinesis, fortune-telling, reincarnation, clairvoyance, clairaudience, poltergeists, possession, amid many other things "spiritual". But what is meant by "spiritual"?

As much as many people in the world today will dismiss spirituality out of hand, or at least certain aspects of it (those aspects that don't fit into their engrained personal belief systems), it simply cannot be denied that there is something more to reality than meets the eye.
Two ways for People to think upon it All.
Let's think about this logically. There have been untold millions of cases where people claim to have experienced the spiritual - something paranormal that defies scientific explanation. There is no doubt that a significant percentage of these cases come from the imagination of the person in question. After all, we are all of the same species, all have roughly the same brain composition, and hence all experience the world in a fundamentally similar way.
But what about the untold thousands of cases of direct paranormal experience for which there is significant evidence? These cannot be dismissed.
If they cannot be dismissed, then they must be explained. All facts in the world are born of reason. Every process in the world (and in the universe) can be reduced from other facts.

Some will explain it all as the meaning of ,Cause and effect.
The thing that distinguishes the normal from the paranormal (or spiritual) is that spirituality is not born of reason. There are no known mechanisms in the universe that cause a person to be reincarnated, or to become a ghost, or to allow people to communicate from mind to mind.
It follows logically that since every process in the universe must be rational, and that the body of evidence for the spiritual is overwhelming, that there must be a mechanistic process in the cosmos that permits and explains such paranormal phenomena.

But Truth is Logically ,some areas can not be explained ,There are truths to everything each of us come in contact with every day of our lives ,some do not even know ,what is around them every day ,
There spirits and minds ,energy are not tuned into their surroundings as some other’s are energy tuned into .Some will experience things in their lives others will not ,reason is their energy is acceptable and sensitive to those energies that are from spirit ,that are wandering this life ,for a reason before peace finds their spirits to rest .
Everything does happen in our Lives for a reason though.
Lets not think Logically Then
Let’s Think of the unknown ,that is seen and felt by others but can not be Explained in our Lives ,We all experienced it in some form or another in our Life Time.
Some just do not really openly discuss those experienced ,afraid of being judged by another.

Between the natural and the supernatural. That is, Indigenous groups resisted defining nature as just what can be seen by the eye, or felt by the body, or heard by the ear. Indeed, some notions of nature also involved the supernatural, for gifted members of society could see, feel, hear and interact with what we would call supernatural forces.

Thus, forces and powers of the spirit world, including ancestors and unknown energies in the cosmos were part of the natural order, since they were accorded influence in the affairs of animals, humans and the landscape at large. Some People from different cultures are born with insight of the unknown ,otherwise known as gifts from within ,as in many ways we are all born with such gifts in our spirits ,sadly though to some of the unknown it does not get fully recognized in their lifetime for to some all things have to hold a logically reason for one to truly believe in the unknown.

The facts become important to search out rather than accepting and cherishing the unknown ,only we can see feel or experience ,for all energies has a reason why? It came into your life in the first place for you to experience it at the time you did .
For all areas or stories of the unknown and real experiences that we all have to tell ,holds a reason to being in touched with in our lives ,why it is there to experience it in self in first place .I believe all should be respected completely.
Not questions logically.

The unknown is fascinating Feeling to experienced in Life Time ,if really look into Why it has come into your Life at that particular moment.

It holds a meaning for your Life and The journey you must take for your own self .
So I guess We all could look at these areas in two different ways in Our Lives .

One is to believe or One is to be skeptical of everything .
As for my Spirit I choose to believe.
