How many of you believe in the paranormal?

by **Anarchy Federation** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 1:41 pm

This a serious discussion. If you do or don't believe please state the reasons why and how you came about this. You are welcome to debate.

For me I am not sure, but I am keeping my mind open, as I have been shown some evidence that are hard to explained(Atleast for me) and others which are very Fake.

You?!

No, and I freely mock both people who explicitly do and those who 'keep an open mind'.

Ho ho ho, ha ha ha.

Once I thought I lost my keys. Then I found them. Explain that, science.

Not the paranormal, no.

What do you consider "paranormal" and what evidence have you seen convinces you it exists, whatever it is? You need to define some terms here.

They're always in the last place you look.

Not really. I don't see too much evidence of it, but it can be fun to think about!

I just prefer to live life based upon the evidence I encounter and keep an open mind.

My parrot will alert me if a phantom or a poltergeist is nearby by screaming loudly.

I saved my family from unwanted guests about four times

Yes, an open mind but make it isn't so wide open that your brains fall out.

Not really. I've had weird stuff happen to me but these instances all had an explanation. I was either drunk or half-asleep.

Oh wait, it seems that the "evidence" has been proven wrong. Oh well, back to being a skeptic. Anyway, what I consider paranormal is something which can't be explained or can't be replicated by our conventional knowledge.

Well duh, you don't keep looking once you've found them.

In response to the topic question: I work based purely on evidence. I have no evidence either way, therefore I believe that the paranormal could exist in theory, but the theory is unproven. There is, however, no such thing as sufficient evidence to convince me that the paranormal definitively does not exist.

Woah, man, what if... like... this whole forum is paranormal? Are we even real? How do we wake up in a dream that isn't real if we aren't real? All hail Jayden Smith, spawn of Will Smith. He alone can guide is through these troubled times of certain uncertainty.

Glad to see I am not the only one having an open mind, and please no making fun of others, there is no reason to diss others who believe or keep an open mind.

*checks for Micheal Jackson under bed*

Nope, all good.

Reason number one, the very spotty nature of any supposed evidence for the paranromal.

Reason number two, the inability to replicate any paranormal activities under circumstances where they can be observed by more than a few people.

Reason number three, the number of supposedly paranormal events proven to be hoaxes.

by **The Emerald Dawn** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 2:09 pm

I believe in the abnormal.

There is nothing extant that cannot be explained given sufficient resources and time.

We used to think the sun setting was "paranormal". Eventually we'll figure out what's causing the other stuff too.

Your asking too broad a question. Do I believe in ghosts? A little bit.
Do I believe in UFOs? I think most footage is discretely fabricated by those wanting attention. There's even footage where it looks like a mineral miner's helmet moving in front of sky.
:twisted:

Yes, we get abducted...
...by special effects. :clap:
