On a side note, I talked to Santa Claus today about the Tooth Fairy; he's been acting weird lately, but the Easter Bunny says it's because his girlfriend broke up with him!!
 
How can you be so bold as to deny the existence of ghosts, yet insist the existence of something paranormal in your house.

Easy, Merriam-Webster defines Paranormal as "not scientifically explainable." There can be "paranormal" occurrences that are not Ghosts, they are not one in the same.

I don't have an opinion on this subject since I've never experienced anything, but who is to say that unexplainable stuff doesn't happen. You guys all say that the OP wants to believe there is something "paranormal" happening so he believes it. It seems to me the same thing is true of you guys in reverse. You want to believe that there is a rational, logical explanation for everything so you convince your-self that there must be, even when there isn't. Do you REALLY honestly think that a thread from a pair of Jeans could get caught on a remote control car under a bed while someone was casually walking by, and pull it at a rather fast speed at his Fathers leg? Really? Seems unlikely to me. Im not saying that a "ghost" moved the car, but who knows what did it, or the other stuff the OP is experiencing. Just because you want to believe that there is an explanation for everything, doesn't mean that there is (at least with current science).
 
Just explain this for me, SOMEBODY!

So...you die and your soul leaves your body (I guess if you cut someone open it creates a way for the soul to leave? Why would a soul be stuck in a body until the vital life functions cease? What a load of...oh, done) and it lingers on the earth holding ice cubes to people's shoulders to...um...eff with them?

But then there's this. Ok, so your soul is walking around, dillywacking, but explain to me, PLEASE, does that mean that your clothes have a soul?! I mean I've never heard of a naked ghost! There's no way they can take their clothes with them if their clothes don't have a soul. And if they do, how do clothes die? If a person dies do all of their clothes become spirits? Does this mean a dead person has a wardrobe and so they can choose what to spook in?

I'm sorry, but that just bugs the hell out of me...like how Chewbacca doesn't have pants. I'm telling you, I would NOT sit in his seat in the Falcon. Can you say, DINGLEBERRIES!
 
At this point you are either suffering a genunine mental breakdown, or you're just being a troll.

If it's the latter, please refrain - it's a disgusting thing to do given the genuine hell real people with real psychiatric problems go through.

If it's the former, I beg you, seek urgent psychiatric help. Failure to seek that help puts you in a very high risk group of doing something exceptionally stupid and/or dangerous to yourself or those around you.

I don't like rubbernecking car-crashes of the mind, so I'm not going to post in this thread again.
 
So...you die and....
...nothing. That's your lot. The spark of energy that was you, originally given by your parents and kept running by all the food and drink you've consumed since, has been switched off.

So the rest of your post is a little obsolete.
 
That post wasn't for you, it's for the people that walk around with divining rods. They either have to admit that it's BS or they HAVE to admit that they believe clothes have souls too.
 
Um...gee...thanks for taking time out of your day for that....

No problem – you're quite welcome. :)

And ta for the rock, it'll come quite in handy I'm sure.
I'm truly warmed inside by this tale of good deeds being rewarded. Every day should be brightened by a northern rock credit account.
 
First off, please know that I say this with no anger or intent to attack you. You seem quick to jump to that conclusion whenever someone expresses doubt with your experiences. I'm sorry to say I do have some doubts but hear me out. I read your stories and they are proper scary but I think you may be encouraging/creating a lot it in your own mind.

On the topic of jumping to conclusions- I think that can be the start of this: gullibility by ones own active imagination. I often think that people who believe in spirits and the like may just be more susceptible to interpreting the imaginative and unexplainable into something paranormal/otherwordly. I think the same about people who believe that they are touched by god. It's taking something unexplainable and categorizing it. I myself am more content to say "I don't know" rather than label it as something else. ...

And also Nigerian royalties who want to give you large sums of money.

Everything confirms their existence.

Have a professional check your furnace. If the stove or water heater are gas, have them checked, too.

It's not as uncommon as one might think. Different people have different sensitivity to it, and different symptoms.

I'm not saying it is, just saying it could be.

There's a Simpsons episode about that too.
 
OK, point to make here.

ALL skeptics, if you are so sure of yourself, visit my former address. All argumentative statements will be ignored unless you've done so.

As well, if you have a problem with my freedom to post here, nobody is forcing you to read or believe anything here and you're clearly after an argument if you're still here afterward.

You're only subjecting YOURSELF to whatever motives you feel this thread was created with.
:D

What is your former address? What is your current address, for that matter?
 
...nothing. That's your lot.

how do you know? have you been there before? :rolleyes: ;)

its a dead-set honest question. how do ANY of us know? the answer is that we dont. we cannot predict the state that we go into after we die. is god real? who knows. are we real? who knows. are there more stages after life? who knows.

thats my outlook on it anyway.

if we do turn into "nothing", im confused by lifes meaning - we learn a whole bunch of experiences and then we die.... what a great life lol. id rather not be around tbh. waste of 100 years ;)

Life doesn't have to have a meaning. It can just be.
 
"There HAS to be some meaning to MY existence! I simply can't be meaningless!!"

And thus, there came religion.
 
Ok guys, take the religion topics to the PRSI. Let's keep this thread on MrCheeto's hauntings ;)
 
Speak for yourself :D
i am lol. i just dont see the point if there is nothing to it. so far in life ive found that you have people for a while (friends/family seem to be the most important things) but then eventually they all go too. then you are left with nothing. blaablaa

agreed.

any sightings lately?
 
I haven't seen or heard a thing since the big panther and sparkling iTunes visualizer...oh my god...wait a minute...it's all so clear now!

My dual-booting Panther and Leopard machine died, and even more creepy, it's last actions were playing the iTunes visualizer! It's all so clear now! MacOS X is out to get me!!

LUL
