Do you guys believe in the supernatural/ghosts and stuff?Just curious..
Alright, so I'm just curious to know how many of you believe in ghosts and like paranormal activity?
I was always a bit sceptical until something really strange happened my sister..
She has a baby boy who is 6months old and she was over at her boyfriends house,(he lives with his grandparents)he was outside working.
She was downstairs on her own on her laptop when she thought she heard footsteps on the stairs. She presumed in was her boyfriend and carried on. Only then she heard strange sounds. She said she would go upstairs and check the baby monitor up she went and it was working away and the baby was fast asleep. She went back down and continued working. Only then she said she heard a women's voice singing the nursery rhyme "all around the mulberry bush" she thought it was her laptop but it wasn't. She went upstairs to check the monitor again and it was off batteries flat! She heard the voice again. It was really clear. Naturally she was super freaked out. A few days later a similar thing happened when her boyfriend was there only this time it was "mary mary quite contrary"
Her boyfriends granddad said his mother used to live in the house who is deceased now sand she used to sing rhymes to him when he was a baby so they think it could be her watching over my nephew.
I don't know it seems so far fetched but I believe my sister she wouldn't make that up. Especially since she thinks it's all nonsense aswell.
Although when she was younger my mum said my sister claimed she saw our deceased granddad on numerous occasions. One time she fell in the playground at school and a teacher went to help her up and she said "it's okay granddad is doing it" Maybe it was just imagination.
Who knows. So what do you guys believe? any freaky experiences?
Thanks for answering!

I definitely do. My grandfather is in the 'spiritual business' I guess. My parents clean the house monthly, with a type of soap called "Bomba". It helps keep negative spirits away. It does stink like hell though, lol. I have had weird things happen to me since I was a baby, from seeing shadows, to hearing things, to feeling as if someone was holding me down and even from feelings stuff on my legs when I'm sleeping, when I push the blanket aside, of course, there's nothing. It's something pretty normal for me now. Most people think I'm joking, or I'm crazy but it just doesn't bother me anymore. I know what I see/feel/hear and if someone else doesn't believe it, that's their opinion and I respect it. My close family have the same opinion, we've all seen things we didn't believe were real. I've never been afraid of anything, not even when I saw a man bending over my sink, or the time I heard footsteps in the living room. We suspect it's my grandfather, or maybe someone who died in this house. Whichever's the case, it doesn't seem negative. It's not something I think about though, when it happens, it happens and then it's over and I move on with my life. If there was a negative spirit, My grandfather would send on his 'things'. He sent one over when I was little, 9 years old maybe. The whole house shook, it got cold, doors were opening and closing. It was like a scene from a horror movie. Until it happens to you, you won't really believe it. It's a tough topic, as some people are more sensitive then others. Either way, Best of luck [:

I personally don't believe in such things. I have friends who do: one friend is persistent in her belief that she once saw a ghost. She uses those terrible ghost hunting shows as 'proof' that ghosts exist. Personally, I think those shows are ridiculous, but its understandable why people believe such things.
The human brain is a fascinating, crazy little thing. It can play tricks on us, and screw with our imaginations, even when we are consciously certain that what happened was real.
Just look at illusions, and hallucinations.
No one can be dogmatic about these things, as it's difficult to say yes or no. But I don't.

I believe that all 'supernatural' experiences are either perfectly natural phenomena or perfectly natural misunderstandings of the human brain.
For information on WHY human beings brains are so prone to believing in magic, divination, ghosts and all other sorts of irrational things, there is this really fun book called Why People Believe Weird Things by Micheal Shermer. Look it up.
The truth is that our brains are fantastic little sense-making machines. It's not as exciting as ghosts, but it's way cooler.
