Death and strange things

I can remember when my dad died the cuckoo clock stopped working. Don’t know if this was a coincidence or not?

Confirmation bias unfortunately. We want to imagine those whom have died are still with us somehow, so we look for things which confirm this (ie, pictures falling off walls at wakes and banging noises) when they're all just coincidences.

Experiences and beliefs regarding strange occurrences or supernatural phenomena after the death of a loved one vary widely among individuals and cultures. While some people may attribute such events to supernatural or spiritual influences, others may explain them as coincidences or tricks of perception.

It's important to recognize that personal experiences and interpretations can differ greatly, and what one person considers significant or meaningful may be seen differently by another. Some individuals may have had experiences they believe to be signs or communications from a deceased loved one, while others may not have encountered any such occurrences.

If you're interested in hearing about other people's experiences, it might be beneficial to engage in discussions within spiritual or paranormal communities, or seek out personal accounts shared online or in books about the topic. It can be enlightening to explore the diverse range of beliefs and experiences surrounding life, death, and the afterlife.

Remember that personal anecdotes and experiences should be approached with an open mind and a healthy level of skepticism. Different individuals may interpret events differently based on their beliefs, cultural backgrounds, and personal experiences.

Randi's challenge was a bit ingenuous in that it focused solely on mediumship - since you cant just ask a ghost to appear on prompt. We know nothing about the universe, the world and spirituality - but then again I suppose all you have to do is look back over the years and see how science has progressed from inaccurate ideas, to research, to accepting new ideas. you cant claim science and then decide you know it all. science is about learning and discovery - not saying 'thats crap because ...science' . We'd never learn a thing that way.

'belief' - if something requires belief then its obviously something that cannot be proved. the problem is some think just because something cant be proved now, then it will never be proved. that thinking is not scientific thinking.

Experiences and beliefs surrounding strange occurrences or paranormal phenomena after the death of a loved one vary greatly among individuals and cultures. While some people may attribute such incidents to coincidences or natural explanations, others may interpret them as signs or messages from the spirit world. It's important to recognize that these experiences are highly personal and subjective. Many people have reported various phenomena or unusual occurrences that they associate with the presence or communication of deceased loved ones. These can include things like unexplained sounds, objects moving, electrical disturbances, vivid dreams, or sensing a loved one's presence. Such experiences can bring comfort and a sense of connection for those who believe in an afterlife or spiritual realm. It's worth noting that there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of an afterlife or the ability of the deceased to interact with the living. Skeptics often attribute these experiences to psychological and emotional factors, coincidences, misinterpretations, or the natural workings of the environment. Ultimately, whether one believes in such experiences or not is a personal matter influenced by cultural, religious, and individual beliefs. If you have had or heard of experiences that seem unusual or related to the presence of a deceased loved one, it can be helpful to discuss them with others who share similar beliefs or seek comfort and understanding through support groups or counseling. It's important to approach these topics with an open mind and respect for different perspectives and beliefs.

Were are the ghostly figures and videos? 

theres **** scores of them on the internet - jaysus wept. you cant prove the paranormal exists - i ask again, what 'proof' would you need? Show me a video, i say it could be fake. play me audio - anything could be recorded. theres tons of the stuff floating about if you bother looking mind you - though as I say, none of it is 'proof' of anything. mental episode or a stroke - you should be on the telly. Sure if you cant debate, be condescending eh?

in saying all that, i lived in a house for 20 years that had enough happening in it to make me wonder. you havent though, so therefore its all balls. good man.
