I believe that the body is made up from energy and when we “die” then that energy definitely goes somewhere, is transferred into some form. I also think that it is perfectly possible that energy continues to have an effect on other energy fields in the world that we may interpret, or misinterpret in certain ways. However I don’t believe in ghosts/spirits in the way those terms are generally understood. I also believe that humans, particularly in group situations, can be highly suggestible and relatively easily provoked to exhibit some signs of mass hysteria.

Pretty much my position entirely – I periodically get into this with Rob who is absolutely a believer – have to word my responses extremely carefully because, to him, his experiences have been absolutely real.

Just to develop on Ol’s point above, I think that everything is explainable by science (even if there isn’t a current scientific explanation for something yet, that doesn’t mean that the science isn’t there – gravity still existed before it was explained!). I also find it strange that given at the very least hundreds of years of scientific exploration (particularly with our recent love affair with cctv) and the number of experiences people claim to have had, there has yet to be a widely accepted body of evidence where scientists can say ‘yup – that there is a genuine ghosty’

I always try to remember that my experience of the world around me is entirely constructed of my brains response to the huge number of stimuli available to it at any given time.

I also try to remeber that the brain is particularly subject to suggestion – (consider Derren Brown’s body of work) – add to that the fact that memory and recollection of events and feelings is also extremely subjective and you get loads of different semi-plausible reasons for paranormal experiences. It’s just the tip of the iceberg really and it’s not to say that the physical world can’t make some odd shit happen from time to time (with or without a chemical trigger :wink:), it’s just I feel that it’s a bit of a leap of faith to go from weird experience to ghost simply because no other explanation seems to exist.

hey man i soo believe

I have had stuff happen to me and friends

tell us ur stories!:bounce_g:

This is why we should all own the ghost trap…..i once did :laugh_at:

yeah i kinda am leaning towards beliving in something along these lines …. it can actualy be very scientific … every thing is made out of energy .. FACT! … so what is energy? …esentualy it is movement of stuff …. how does energy travel? … through waves .. .. heat waves, light waves, sound waves .. ect.
if you imagin the world as a big tranfer of energy from one thing to another then you will see that it is possible for pockets of enery to get traped or more like bulid up or collect in one place .. just like you get hot spots on a fring pan …. or a balloon will charge with static electrisity …
these freaquencys that cause these feelings of fear … could just be pockets of energy … as i say every thing resonates at a certain frequency as every thing is energy and all energy is a wave form … hope thats makes sence to most of you

when i was younger and if i was ill aparently a little black boy used to watch over me, ive not seen anything first hand that couldnt be explained, id like to belive it because id hate to think im just gona die and rot.

i wanna be a ghost
