Default Re: Personal experiences with ghosts

the big prob with these visions is most happen directly before falling asleep or directly after waking up. At these times the brain can be thinking of numerous things and it is hard to decifer reality and imagination.

It seems like a lot of these "experiences" seem to take place when people are in bed, half asleep, or just waking up. Could it be that these are figments of the subconscious, which, as we all know, are quite active when we are in bed?

I have had plenty of dreams that seem to carry over into the first few moments of me waking up. I have never confused them for supernatural beings though.

Before you conclude that you saw a ghost, doesn't it at some point register how improbable this is, from a scientific proof standpoint?

I think at the end of the day, people want to believe the fantastic? It's impossible that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, ghosts exist, etc. Life would be too boring otherwise.

Bottom line- if ghosts exist, and are so rampant, why is there absolutely no evidence of this that holds up against any sort of scientific testing?

I do agree this seems like the logical explaination, maybe my brain's fried from too much acid, who knows. But when I think about how much that [censored] freaked me out... I dunno it just seems too real.

OK, well you're automatically disqualified. If this is the case, you're seeing ghosts daily.

This one time I saw a ghost, but then I called Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd and I felt much better.

LOL. Well i was half joking with the acid comment but i won't deny a "flashback" is a possibility i suspose, but it (a flashback) is something I've never experienced nor have I had anyone tell me they've experienced one before so i doubt it.

Ghosts or spirits or anything otherworldy for that matter seems strange but alot of people claim they've seem something so who knows?

...exactly. Nobody ever sees a ghost when they're sitting around watching TV.

pshycics or however you spell it are a bit problematic IMO. Most of them are charlatans trying to make a buck as far as I'm concerned.
But I do believe that some people may have ESP it's just I've had never encountered this myself.
