Ever seen a Ghost?

Sorry but....where am I looking?

Between the left leg of the girl second from left, and the right leg of the girl third from left. Under the handbag with the large silver hoop on it.

Look at the chubby ugly one's right leg.

To be honest, I don't know. I cant see it but I know someone who looks like the one in the middle holding the bottle.

AHH, I have found it now. Thanks AoWW.

I think it's difficult if you think you've seen a ghost, because you're dealing with something that isn't widely believed to even exist, whereas mental illness is widespread and well documented. One of my colleagues' nieces had supposedly been speaking with the dead, and quite a few family members were convinced that she had done, but my sceptical co-worker hit the nail on the head quite neatly when he pointed out, that on the balance of probability which was the more likely? That the dead still walk the earth, and that they're making contact with adolescent girls, or that said girl was suffering from some sort of mental health problem?

When i was a little kid (about 3) i was in a room in my house playing with some toy cars and what not. I remember the tv screen turning blue and this face appearing on the wall in front of me. The face was of a man in a ski mask. The image is still fresh in my mind today and can't figure out who it was or why it appeared. My mom remembers me screaming and running towards her. I don't remember much after it but apparently i never set foot in that room again.

We eventually moved from that house.

So because of that, i keep an open mind about ghosts.

are you sayin you saw eddie the eagle on the wall?

my that is scary!

I was a total sceptic til I went out with a lad who had a house just off Narborough Road and we saw and heard so many creepy things in there. Shadowy figures and noises, things being moved etc. The worst 2 things, I knocked his front door once and saw what I thought was him walking down the stairs through the frosted glass pane in the middle of the front door, it then turned into the living room completely ignoring my knocking and I started to get pissed off til I heard a shout and saw my boyfriend coming down the street from the opposite direction. I told him Id seen someone in the house and we went in and found it empty and completely secure.

Then one night we were sat watchin tv on the sofa and heard an almighty crash from the kitchen, ran into it and everything on one of the worktops was on the floor like someone had just swept their arm across it. There was no door to the kitchen, no windows open, nothing. It was the scariest thing Ive ever witnessed and even he was bricking it!

I dont know whether there is something or not but there are definately some weird things happening that cant always be explained away.

Sounds like Papa Lazarou on Tennant's Super.

Meh, like I said, it's just easier to claim a belief in something that can't be disproven than admit you might have imagined it.

But it's just as easy to dismiss things that cannot be logically or rationally explained :dunno: Yes, we keep saying the easiest answer is often the right one, but in some cases it just isn't. One has to keep one's mind open to other possibilities other than the 'probable' or 'likely' one. Hell, it was extremely improbable that life and especially humans ever came to be, so it's a bit ironic that we put so much faith in %'s and probabilities these days...

Sure, but I think there are times you have to use your common sense and just say "well, alright, that's a bit far fetched."

I mean there's a certain level of hypocrisy to it, really. If I were to try and convince half the people in this thread that vampires or witches existed they'd likely laugh in my face (or perhaps not now, just to spite me ;) ) - but what's the difference?

Probably just as many people claim to be witches, occultists, or cursing voodoo priests around the world as do claim to have seen a ghost. They're still bonkers.

There are unseen things out there, I just don't believe that they are 'spirits of dead people' (might be wrong). Humans can only see and hear on a very small frequency range (animals can sense things on different frequency levels to us) and most humans seem to think that nothing exists beyond our range. They are wrong, fact. :whistle:

What I don't get about ghosts is this : when someone sees a ghost, the ghost always has clothes on. Do they take clothes to the afterlife with them or are there shops that sell the same kind of gear we have in this life? That's one of the reasons I don't think ghosts are 'dead people'. When we die if we come back to 'wander' we wouldn't be able to magic ourselves a nice outfit to wear.

Or Captain Beefheart. And in one of the bits when it's dark it sounds like he might be having a crafty wank.

People will believe in any old shit if you go on about it enough
