    Load of nonsense.

    I've believed in them ever since I saw the movie Ghostbusters. It just made sense.

    I have about as much belief in ghosts as I do in "God".

    no don't believe in ghosts, they are up there with God in the daft things people believe in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,440 ✭✭✭Dizzyblabla


    I always get the heebie-jeebies when I go out for a smoke here, shadows, movements, the feeling that someone is walking behind me, all the time!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Ninja_scrotum


    Nope don't believe in them. I wish they did exist though because that would be really exciting dontya think? Having loads of ghosty friends like in The Frighteners

    And when the "psychic" people contact these ghosts on the "other side", whatever information they get is usually a load of boring shyte.

    "Oh yes I can hear her now, something to do with the letter "M", maybe it's mary or maggy or something, and she had a dog". Crap like that.

    jesus ****ing christ, I just watched this and had a ring flashback

    shaking now.

    sadako is not real..sadako is not real....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Yup. Not in the "white sheets and two eyeholes" sense, but I believe in a soul/lifeforce/aura/spirit/ka and I believe under exceptional circumstances that living beings can come into contact with the souls of the dead.
    I've seen a ouija board work several times, and read enough about poltergeists and possesion/exorcism cases to leave myself with a very open mind.
    That said, it doesn't frighten me and I don't believe that it can do me harm...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭speaktofrank


    Well I am not much of a believer either but I have seen things nobody can explain when I was 4 my parents were looking at buying a new house and they brought me with them to see a place. They were looking aroung so I went into the sitting room and I saw an old woman in the corner sitting down, didnt look in the least ghostly. so anyway I asked my parents why they hadnt talked to the old woman and of course they were a little taken aback. There had been an old woman but she had died and her son was going to sell the place.
    Anyway I know what I saw, I guess most people need to see something to believe though

    you don't know what you saw... you were four.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭speaktofrank


    I know exactly what I saw, I may have been four but I should recognise an old woman when I see one.
    What maybe you think I mistook the kitchen dresser for an old woman? :rolleyes:

    Couldn't have been your imagination, no? Not possible at all?

    Just curious, but how did you know an old woman lived there and had died?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 972 ✭✭✭moco


    Yea, I do believe in them:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,182 ✭✭✭Genghiz Cohen


    I have had 2 encounters in my house, 1 with a 6-10 year old girl with dark hair.
    The other was just a shadowy figure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,073 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Dude.
    Not cool.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    It's all a load of b@lls imo.

    People have tried to convince me that ghosts are real, but I can see right through them.

    /heads for the exit

    is it possible given the fact that over 100, 000 people die every day that the energy from the deceased transfers into another form? i mean there are things in this world that even the most rational board.ie posters can't even explain.
    As an example I bet not one of you can explain how Jacobs gets the fig into the fig roll?

    No there isn't.
