Question of the day, Friday May 14th

Sorry I'm a little late with the question! I completely forgot what day it was...
Since we had a question about how many of us believe in life outside of our planet, I thought I'd ask another question on a similar topic...


Have you ever had a supernatural experience?? Like seen a ghost, or anything else that falls in that category

Nope. Not while not on drugs. (Sorry ). Just a lot of Deja Vu stuff.

I'm one of those people that won't believe anything unless I see proof.
I lived in a house for 10 years that had weird stuff go on. Saw a shadow figure (or maybe it was plural, I don't know) several times, including standing right in my bedroom - when the light was on, this wasn't a cast shadow and could not be seen through. Multiple people witnessed sights, sounds, and smells together and separate. It would knock on your car windows, for example. Stuff still happens at that house.
That said, I'm still skeptic of everything because often there are more mundane answers to be found first and nothing can be accepted without ruling other possibilities out first.

But who knows if we're really seeing "ghosts"? Maybe physics will have an answer with further discoveries. The fact that particles can be in multiple places at once makes a person wonder..

Thought I did when I was a kid. Recall seeing something strange on the "landing" at our house just floating there. A woman died in the house we lived in prior to us buying it - she was an elderly lady with Alzheimers. One time I was talking about that to a friend on the internet, when the power went off in the room I was in, and only that room, even though the breaker was connected to other lights, which were still on. Always thought it was strange, and now I dont even believe in the supernatural That thing still bugs me sometimes though.

My mom used to always see the 3-way lamp get changed while watching TV. She'd even hear the clicks as it went through the settings. She's very big into the paranormal shows.

yes, both with my sister and with my mother. My mom and I spoke a lot about her death before she died. It was important for me to know that she wasn't afraid of dying. We came up with a plan that she would contact me after her death to let me know she was OK. It was a very, very unique sign that she would send so it couldn't be mistaken for a coincidence. About two weeks after her death at 3:00 in the morning I got my sign from her. It gave me great peace. I don't consider it a supernatural experience-I just think of it as a DEEP love between us.

Yes, several years ago one of my cats came to "visit" me. Settled down in his favorite place on my bed and my now RB cat Kitt had a long talk with him.

I have not seen any proof myself.

I like that. They say children and animals are very sensitive to those types of experiences. They are pure and don't have all that skepticism. I know my RB kitty Patches saw my sister after she passed from breast cancer. And I have felt alot of RB kitties come back and jump in bed with me at night.

I not sure if I'd wish it on your or not. People think it's fun, and while it wasn't terrifying, it wasn't fun.

What do you consider to be a child? 9 years old? Cause that's when we moved into that house and I can honestly tell you I wasn't a stupid child at 9 years old and very much a skeptic then. Weird stuff happened, I'd investigate it and dismiss it as "old house" and me just "seeing things", but it wasn't till large scrapes/scratches were left on the top of my desk at 2:18am (on a Wednesday in April back in '93) that I truly believe something was going on.
