Well.... This starting to 'splain some of your insane nonsense posted in the politics forum[/eyeroll]
A lot of weird business goes on in the world. After all we are drifting on a rock through a vacuum and no-body can really explain how the first rock or organisim appeared in that vacumm in the first place. After having a number of personal experiences myself of premonition and unable to give a logical explanation why. Being non religious but having some spiritual theories of my own....short of the long....I'll keep an open mind.

Are you always so stupid, or is today a special occasion?:tongue:
I wonder what you'd have turned out like If you'd had enough oxygen at birth:smile:
This might be closer to the paranormal but you might call it extreme mind over matter depending on your defintions.
From Wikipedia { posted this before }
Remote Viewing { sitting in a room and viewing distant objects }
Disclaimer : Other experiments have failed to produce the same results thus falling into pseudoscience but this is sensitive material and successful results might be secret.
Harold Puthoff and russell targ { i believe but don't know they are stanford physicists } tested psychic ingo swann at the stanford research institute in a study funded by the CIA and the usaf in 1996. The military intelligence board { didn't know one existed } chaired by DIA { department of intelligence/ditto/didn't know one existed } chief soyster appointed by or appointed army colonel william johnson ended up a believer. Now i think i read somewhere that ingo swann in a room {remote viewing/viewing the location in your mind} at stanford was asked to describe { after being given coordinates ? } in detail secret military installations around the US and did so. Again i don't know but ingo may have been to view inside various buildings and describe their contents. Either harold or russell wrote a book about remote viewing/SRI and one of them appeared on the pbs news show and there was a segment where he was interviewed by Jim when he was still there.

This is a field which i don't think anyone really knows much about. It would be interesting to know if ghost appearances have been reported from every country in the world for centuries or not. Its one thing to report ghost sightings but if ghosts can actually harm someone it takes it to a different level. Carl Jung in his autobiography{memories dreams and reflections} reported waking up one night and seeing a ghost at the foot of his bed. I've been told { just once } that if ghosts are real and you run across dangerous spirits only one thing can protect you and that is a belief in god. I have NO idea if thats true.

The other question , if lets for a moment presume ghosts{a dead person still here on earth } are real and i'm not saying they are. Why are they still here ? I run across people who are clearly demented in san francisco every day. Are ghosts the spirits of demented people ? People who don't believe in god ? Are ghosts completely lost souls ? Are ghosts the spirits of people who are being punished ? If ghosts are real are we all doomed to be ghosts ? Or are certain spirits trapped or choose to be here. Why are they still here ? { if ghosts are real }

I wonder if you'll ever have a girlfriend whose name doesn't end in .jpeg?
I've got news for you fellah; ghosts are myths, just like every girl you say you've slept with.:smile:
Seriously, if I wanted to hear from an ass, I'd fart:biggrin1:
If you want to continue, with this, I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave you alone - but I'm sure you're used to that.

You don't read much, do ya, son?
Yep, all of what we know is in a book, yet by the same token all of what we don't is not.

I'm sorry. You're right. I started it. I won't do it again. :wink:
Now back the apparitions!
There is a great deal of evidence and strange happenings to support the validity of some of these claims. The Croke-Patterson mansion in Denver Colorado which was nearly given away on resale in the last couple of years because of this kind of history is one example of paranormal that is extreme and violent at times.
In Palm Springs there is a home called the "Boat House" which also has a very colorful history that is not a good one.
In Palm Desert I lived across the street from a 1950's tract home that also had a history so interesting that those neighbors moved out of the home and went elsewhere to escape the happenings. The home had been involved in a fire from an exploded drug lab. When that fire took place two large dogs were killed in the fire. The home was rebuilt and the bad stuff started to happen. The new home had tile floors, and at night the sound of dogs claws and feet could be heard walking on the floors in the wee hours of the morning and the sound of dogs crying out could be heard. The home was a rental and subsequent tenants would find pet birds dead within a few days of moving in. Other dogs and cats would run from the inside of the home in complete terror. Two sets of new neighbors neither of which believed in this kind of thing moved out of that house within six months of moving in. Two more tenants over the decade I lived across the street committed suicide in that home and the reasons were never known. It had a bad record!
Now, find me a haunted house where the ghosts were involved in the sex trade and that is one I might be interested in! Those do exist!
All food for thought!
