Lady in White

hottrash

Was talkin to my father the other night and he was tellin my how when he was young he saw and heard the The Lady in White. he was in the bog in the late afternoon when he heard a cry coming from behind him, he looked around and saw her walking from one side of the river bank to the other as if she was floating. he said he was never so afraid in all his life. she was dressed all in white with a long body length dress and long grey hair. he could see her for a few seconds then she just vanished as quick as she came.

was just wondering if any1 else had seen or heard of any1 who experienced her.

Scary.

You sure your dad ain't rippin the piss?

Her?


Are you implying that there is one lady in white and that she wanders the country? As if if other people had visions of a lady in white it would be the same one?

i reckon there is only one. how come ghosts have to be so vague and mysterious, how come the cant just come up to you and go aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and maybe stay for a while.
hiding behind paintings and in bogs that cant be healthy, except for the village perv.

Keep it civil phlematic.

No personal attacks, no matter how offhand they may be.

no man i never touch the stuff

Thomas from Presence

In bog and fen type of ecologies methane is released from decaying vegetation and appears sometimes like a glowing orb or shape. This is the rational explanation for the famous will o'the wisp and other apparitions.

A misshapen gaseous blob and a bit of the mind's imagination works can sometimes cause people to see some funky stuff when crossing bogs at night.

this was no blob he said it was too near to mistake it for something else.
the truth is out there in the bog.

What could you possibly be basing this on?

One morning I got up and proceeded to walk down the stairs, of course I was still asleep and not thinking I stepped aside to allow a lady in white to past me. Only after a couple of minutes did I realise what I saw. I have an interest in the metaphysical and am very openminded - it didn't bother me at all but would like to know what it is symbolic of? Any ideas?

these sightings are usually a warning to the person who sees them that someone close to them is going to come to harm.
the cry of the banshee is usually a warning of a death to a family member.
i have heard that someone near me heard the cry of the banshee and shortly after their father died. coincidence?
certain familys seem to have to relation with these "spirits". i dont think its by chance that they appear to certain people.

i would like to tell you about my grand uncle who about 50 years ago was getting ready to move into his council house out the country, it wasnt a new house as the tenant before him had died a few weeks previously. he had all his stuff packed and ready to move in, he was going up to the house when he saw smoke leaving the chimney, he thought this was strange as noboby was living there for several weeks. he wondered if squatters had set up camp inside. he peered in the window and on a rocking chair beside the fire was an old man. he tapped on the window, the man turned to face him and vanished up through the ceiling.
my grand uncle said he was terrified and went straight to the priests house.
he wouldnt move in until a mass was said in the house.
the priest asked him why he wanted the house blessed and grand uncle told him why. the priest enquired to what this old man looked like and he turned white when my grand uncle perfectly described Tom Murphy the previous tenant.

undefinedI was wondering, those of you who have seen ghosts and believe they are among us...do you think ghosts are souls of people who have been murdered or were vicitms of accidental deaths or of any deceased person in general?

Zulu

What I want to know is this...
If ghosts exist - then there exists an afterlife.
If an afterlife exists - does God exist?
If God exists - then hevan and hell exist.
If hevan and hell exist - why whould Ghosts hang around here haunting bogs and old houses? It just dosen't make sence to me.

Theres no after life imo. If ghosts do exist, its just some imprint of that person.

And how come banshees only hang around the countryside where ignorant supersticious boggers live? Has there ever been a case of a banshee outside the Fatima Mansions howling the night before Anto overdosed on smack?

That's gotta be one of the most insulting posts ive seen in a while.

If ghosts exist - then there exists an afterlife. (This makes sense)
If an afterlife exists - does God exist? (By no means is that a surety)
If God exists - then hevan and hell exist. (Not neccessarily)
If hevan and hell exist - why whould Ghosts hang around here haunting bogs and old houses? (Who says they have a choice?)

another post like that sees you banned

didnt they make a play about this?
Its some sort of form of the banshee isnt it.

Whether there is an afterlife or not isn't necessarily relevant... Some people think that ghosts are spirits of people with some unfinished business, so maybe they don't have a choice. Maybe they have to finish their business before they can move on to wherever, be it heaven, hell or nothingness.

emmm, well if there is no afterlife, there are no ghosts.

Yes there has...portents of death come in many forms. The Bean Sidhe (Banshee) is a particular manifestation that has meaning to the individual that hears/sees it.Usually associated with particular families but...

Unfortunately with most of the great unwashed going around with their head up their butts or their minds chemically altered thru' drink or drugs the masses miss the bleedin' obvious so to speak!

I was walking up along side the river one day when the lady in white came up and attacked me.

She was some skanager in a white adidas tracksuit becide the liffey.

how can you see into my soul, like open doors
leading you down into my core where I,ve become so numb
without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold, until you find it there and lead it back...home.

wake me up inside, wake me up inside, call my name and save me from the dark, la la la la...

anyway....the gist of it is, everything is energy, einsteins theory of relativity proves that all matter is energy, just resonating at different levels (speeds).
Scientists have disciovered that our dna helps us convert light into energy, much like the process of photsynthesis in plants.
It provides the energy which gives us life.
When we die, that energy does not cease to exist, the resonance we emit is itself a form of light, depending on how you lived, how you felt, your energy will "sing its own song" so to speak.
Imagine now that resonace has a pattern and those patterns get locked into all cellular structures. Your relatives..your home, your clothes, your jewellery, your furniture.
This pattern is referred to as cellular memory, and we live on (in a way) in that form. the song I quoted above has significance for me, when I meet people, I can tune into that "cellular memory", and give it life..so to speak.
This is often portrayed as mediumship, just breathing life into an energy pattern.

Heaven and hell also fall within these categories. I've breathed in some ****ty energy and I've breathed in some amazing amazing energy, pure stuff. ( I call this heaven..nice place to be and you won't have a clue what I'm talking about unless you've experienced it)

Ghosts and spirits are the same thing, patterns left in houses, places etc..what is refered to as residual energy, those which seem to have more "life" to them, are getting energy from somewhere, usually from the living.


edit: I dunno what the banshee is, but I know loads of people who have seen or heard her. (have had a few moments myself but always put it down to something else, usually she appears or is heard weeping when someone belonging to a specific familes passes ....all those Irish families with O' surnames.)

Perhaps you've missed the previous warninsg to users on this thread about staying on topic.

see post above and then consider that "God" has always been referred to as "the light". or the "all that is" and so on and so forth.....

Sorry keu - you may have missed my point - or perhaps I'm missing yours
It's more to do with why would a person hang around after death? In this case - the BanShee - why would you devote x period of time informing people that close relatives are going to die? and why would you do this by scaring them?

keu

well..in my perception, (I did my best to describe spirit energy as celular memory, or how I perceive it) those parts that I described as heaven and hell, the ****ty energy can be brought up to speed ..so to speak... and can change its resonance. )I spose symbolically its like going from a state of "hell" to a higher state/"heaven") so its not so much that they are "hanging around" in so much as they are locked within a particular pattern.

The banshee thing I don't really get. I wouldn't mind but I had an experience not so long ago where I heard a wailing noise outside the house very early in the wee hours of the mourning. I don't know was it the fact that this thread was here but my instant reaction was thats the feckin banshee.... I did get a bit spooked and naturally I started thinking..oh someones going to die. Two days later my uncle (an o'sullivan) dropped dead suddenly.

why would they be informed? Jesus..I really don't know, thats the bit I don't get. As it seems to be relative to particular families, maybe its a certain "cellular memory" which is "programmed" to operate that way.??? (I know that sounds mad..but in plain English, sounds a bit like a curse)

Zulu

Well the concept of hell tends to paint a very poor picture of horror and torment, linking this to energy, be it memory bound or not is hard for me to concieve. Perhaps I stuided physics too long. ...but it holds more crediance for me than the personification of energy (ghosts).
I can understand that we transform to a different form of energy when we die - but the energy can all be accounted for (decay for example) according to modern physics, where then, this residue comes from is beyond me, and I guess my major stumbling block. (well that coupled with the fact I haven't experienced anything I find unexplainable)
