Do you believe in the supernatural?

El Guapo! · 02-07-2010 06:57PM #1

I was just looking at the thread on Ouija Boards and was wondering, how many people here believe in that sort of stuff? I don't mean Ouija boards in particular but spooky stuff in general......ghosts, poltergeists, possesions that sort of thing. Personally I do believe in a lot of that stuff because I have had stuff happen to me that makes me believe it.
So......is it real?......or is it bollocks?

No, I take pride in my sanity.

caseyann · 02-07-2010 07:01PM

oops

I do believe in it,also had experiences that have happened to me.
And one which was very comforting which made me believe more although sad at same time:(

Its all hokus pokus to me anyway.

Superbus · 02-07-2010 07:03PM

It's a cool thought, but I personally wouldn't. Since I have no evidence to hand, it wouldn't be particularly comforting to me to believe it.

NO!

we'llallhavetea_old · 02-07-2010 07:17PM

i used to believe. did the ouija boards a few times when i was a young'un, freaked the living crap out of ourselves.

don't believe in an afterlife anymore and tbh, it's a relief. i used to get myself into complete sweats if something odd happened in the house and i'd think it was a ghost. now i just worry about murderers

Sea Sharp · 02-07-2010 07:19PM

nope. It's all a load of tosh.

Mike 1972 · 02-07-2010 07:21PM

Generally its a load of horseshyte

Although I knew someone in school who could do this "invisible rope trick" that I could never really explain

NO!

I am serious. I believe only in the stuff that has happened to me and I cannot explain. And until its 100% disproved Ill continue to believe it. Sure what harm is a bit of belief!!:D
I do however think that all those mediums on TV are total con-artists preying on vunerable grieving people, and they should not be allowed on TV!

SadieSue · 02-07-2010 07:22PM

Not really. I do enjoy a good scary story or film now and again.
I used to believe in that stuff when I was younger but now I think people are scarier:pac:

dlofnep · 02-07-2010 07:24PM

No, it's bollocks.

I believe in life outside of Earth, but I wouldn't consider that supernatural. Infact, if anything - it's natural.

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 02-07-2010 07:27PM

Yes, I do, unfortunately.
I get all freaked out by the smallest noises.:o

Abrasax · 02-07-2010 07:29PM

I wouldn't discount it.

The Fortean Times are full of recorded incidents of weird happenings, some with thousands of witnesses, like the visions at Fatima, which had 100,000 witnesses all over Portugal, to the last sighting.

The fundamentalist rationalists, such as CSICOP, tend to dismiss such things out of hand, even where no rational explanation can be found.

A good book on the subject of scepticism towards the supernatual is The New Inquisition by R.A.Wilson, where he delves through the history of science and outlines where theoretical phenomena were dismissed by rationalists until scientific improvements came along to verify them.

There may be much supernatural out there. We're just not capable yet of seeing it.

Sound Bite · 02-07-2010 07:29PM

Not it the slightest...load of nonsense i reckon

I believe in that too. There's absolutely no chance that theres not life outside of Earth. Anybody who says different is kidding themselves.

Stopped reading after this bit

Dont think Ill be taking out a subscription.........

Depends on what specific part of the supernatural. Me? Some, yes but not all.

It must be horribly limiting to believe only in what your senses tell you. If you even trust them.

Duggy747 · 02-07-2010 07:33PM

My GF would be into that whole spiritual and supernatural boulderdash but I don't believe in any of it.

Has a ghost seriously got nothing better to do than spend it's existence trying to "communicate" with the living? If that sort of transcendance existed I'd be hanging around Jennifer Connolly's bedroom. :pac:

Anyways, NO! I worry more about living day to day than giving a shìt about how I'm supposed "exist in the next life"

fonecrusher1 · 02-07-2010 07:34PM

Everybody sing this; ...if theres something strange....in your neighbourhood.....who ya gonna call???......

Load-a-bollox.:)

Read on and get the book I recommened.
If that doesn't cure your scepticism or at least make you an agnostic on the issue, nothing will.
I'll even post you my copy, if you wish.

Grumpypants · 02-07-2010 07:43PM

A woman looking at the sun through binoculars saw it dance in Knock what more proof do you need ?

My senses dont tell me there are atoms, bacteria, radiation, or odourless gasses but I know theyre there

Because the perceptive instruments have been created to detect them.
What about those 'crazies' who believed in them before science could prove their existence.

Oh, and Fatima, 100,000 witnesses spread over a huge area, having simultaneous hallucinations. You're going to tell me that's not a phenomenon in itself?

I dont consider life after death or anything to do with it supernatural either,as it is natural and been here long before us.
