Paranormal
So, am I crazy, or do other people believe in paranormal stuff? I watch the show "Ghost Adventures" on the Travel Channel. Now, while a good portion of their stuff could be faked, there is a lot of stuff that could not be faked.
I personally believe that there is more "out there" than the living world. It's hard to explain. Whatever.
There's more to this world than we want to believe, or so I like to believe.
Yeah, I know. I refuse to believe that when people die--that's it. They either phase from existence or move on to the afterlife. For whatever reason, some people linger on. As time does on, I believe this to be true. I know I sound crazy, but still....
Nothing crazy in thinking that way at all. I feel the world still holds a lot of mystery and I don't really think science and logical reason alone can explain it all.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I believe in demons passing themselves as ghosts and spirits, but i believe when we die, we die. Thats it.

It would be naive to assume that there's nothing out there, but it would also be naive to stubbornly believe that there is.
Ghostbusters is the, but I don't really believe in it.
I do like to believe in the paranormal, it's really hard when I never experienced anything strange personally. So when it comes to that stuff, it's pretty easy to dismiss and call it fake. I do love watching shows about ghosts and stuff, so yeah. I just don't know whether to believe it or not, since it's so easy to fake some of the stuff, while others you can't ever explain.
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
i believe in a pair of normals

I would love to find more deeper meanings in all of this unexplained paranormal activities that happen throughout the world. many of which are fake, and the rest are just unexplainable.
I believe in ghosts and witches. Vampires too!
The USS Lexington was turned into a sort of museum and it sits in the bay at my hometown. Whenever we go downstairs into the lower parts of the ship, it just feels so eerie. Maybe because it's dark and if you look past the roped off areas it's pitch black. I feel a little spooked when I do. I hear some ghost hunting show visited. I'd like to see that episode o:
Only leprechauns and Swedes. Ghosts are fakers!

There are some things which are so far out there they have absolutely zero basis for belief. Ghosts are one of those. It's fun to think through as a sort of logic puzzle, though, as to how ghosts would actually interact with the real world. I'm stealing the following example from Dr Unne.
Say there's a ghost in front of you. Does that ghost have mass? Most people would say no (insubstantial and all), in which case the ghost would appear for only a tiny fraction of a second before the Earth, hurtling through space, left it far behind. We also couldn't see it because there'd be nothing for the light to reflect off of. If you say the ghost does have mass, just an incredibly small amount so that it could still pass through things, then any tiny gust of breeze would send it flying. Unlike some supernatural explanations, we have plenty of reasons to believe that ghosts can't exist.
For every so-called event where there just has to be a ghost/spirit/whatever (which usually comes down to a strange light or sound), it just amazes me how so many people suddenly jump to supernatural ideas. Occam's Razor - the simplest explanation is almost always correct. And in all of those cases the simplest explanation is that something natural happened - whether it was light reflecting off of something you didn't see or an unnoticed cat moving around.
I've had plenty of incidents where I heard something I couldn't identify or a light was on I could've sworn I turned off or my keys were somewhere I didn't think I left them, etc etc etc. I shrugged them off as me forgetting what really happened or just not knowing. There's no reason to jump to "ghosts." There's a reason there's no legitimate scientific inquiry into the so-called "paranormal," when there are cameras and receivers and satellites pointing in tons of directions at all times (and for those that say ghosts can't be caught on camera, then we couldn't see them, either, since it's all just reflections of light).
Ghost tours and stories and stuff are fun, though. Classic entertainment. It is fun, but just because you may want to believe in something is no basis for actually believing. The TV shows are just that - entertainment.
