It's all a plot. Duh.
^ what paranormal activities have you had GBI've had some "visions" , I might go into more detail later
There is absolutely no reason to think there are such things as ghosts as there is no evidence at all to suggest that they exist. In fact, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that they don't.
Evidence against it? Well, the fact that any description of a ghost that you hear describes the ghost as doing things, speaking, etc. In order to do this, a ghost would need a brain. We know, from science, that consciousness is a result of brain activity. We also know that brains cease to have activity when a person dies. No brain activity, no consciousness. No consciousness, no ghosts doing things, speaking, etc.
Now I am rather ignorant on the subject however from what I do understand...could string theory come into play here? Sorry I am just wondering what you think of itNeither one of us are qualified to talk about string theory.

Girl4beluga wrote: "Hold on Nathan don't jump to sudden conclusions you have to dig a little deeper. NSA why don't you thing there is no possibility for ghosts?"well it ties in with religion and science for me. I agree with Nathan in the science part, and I also don't believe that spirits roam the earth, unable to get where they need to be. To me, its as phony as a palm reader telling you will get a million dollars today.
If there is nothing supernatural...then I have some sort of psychological problem with my house. >.<"
Rachel: ..Whoa.G4B: Oh..That's what people say on Paranormal State. Well, not that, but losing a loved one.

Sometimes I feel like something is behind me or...you know when you can just feel someone in the room is incredibly pissed or sad or something? I sometimes get that feeling when no one is necessarily there....

I sometimes get that feeling when no one is necessarily there....I would say that is a psychological problem with you, not the house. You are imagining things.
Most likely, of course :P I guess I'm just being a "Well it would be nice if it were true..." person here. Do you've any idea what that could be, though?
Thank you oh so much, Nathan. I never would have guessed a psychological problem could ever be the product of me. :P I mean, what type of problem would it be if it happens only within my house?
It is your imagination running wild. The first time you felt it, you felt it in your house. Now that you think it only happens in your house, it is more likely to only happen in your house.
Oh. >.< And here I thought you meant I was schizo or something :P xD Hmmm, you're probably right.... I wonder what will happen when I move :/
Ohhh..Well-if it makes you feel any better- me and my friends were comparing how many therapists we have to see. One of them have to see three.
I went to a therapist before. No biggie G4b. Every once in awhile you have to talk to someone about a problem that isn't related to you and isn't already a friend. Sometimes a therapist can make you take a more objective look at the situation at hand.
What kind of "ghost" are we talking about? Ghosts of your past? I've had that kind of experiance. I cried a lot.
ya, like something knocking over with out explanation, you daughter/son saying good night to you when they aren't even home stuff.
Funny how people are talking about scientific evidence on this subject. Most things in most religions can't really be proofed by science.
WTF do you want me to do? List every single religious idea that I think is stupid? That would take far too much time.
Nathan wrote: "WTF do you want me to do? List every single religious idea that I think is stupid? That would take far too much time."Yes please......
Yes please......You are an idiot. There are literally thousands of religions and thousands more that have existed that don't exist. You expect me to go through the list? How about you go through the list of every religion and every religious belief and ask me if I believe them. Then I will answer yes or no.
no however a few would be niceI can't believe for a second that you don't already know a few I think are stupid. If you don't, you haven't been paying very close attention over the last year or so.

He's an English teacher! I forgot how old...28? I honestly thought he was a lawyer when I first read his comments. XD
NO! We must hypothesize about who he is, and then stick to our opinions even when he tells us otherwise. :P
Because we debate with him. Duh! Lol, I don't know. Maybe because he wants to set us straight or something. Or he can only debate with us since we are the only ones who debateand I'm not including myself since it sounds like I am.

He is quite clearly a visitor from outer space, fascinated by the silly little customs of us earthlings. The rest of his species with be by to



No.
It is possible, definitely. They're in the same category as God for me :/
