this may have been done before,but i believe in ghosts do you and have you seen one or been on a ghost hunt.also is their any psychics out there for real on forum.

I'd love to say I believe in the supernatural because I hope that there is more to life than we can rationalise, more than science can prove, but I'm afraid its a no from me.

well is there anyone whos had a real expieriance with the supernatural.

I was approached by a blonde hooded woman asking for money, and when I refused she transformed into a screeching banshee before my very eyes.

When I lived on Southey hall rd. I used to lose my purse my keys and later found them in the fridge. my daughter saw an old lady upstairs.. my other daughter saw the old lady near her bed. loads of stuff happened so we moved... The other house was ok but my little girl got beat up by a nutter aged 24. and was scared to leave the house.. We moved again... I think looking back we should have stayed in the first house. at least the dead dont hurt you.

ive sometimes had flashes of my grandma now and then.

cheers mate

I used to live in Kiveton Park until 2 years ago and the Packman Lane legend has been around for years even before my time.

Seen it with my own eyes a couple of years ago- you need to go down the lane in a car though with full beams turned on.

Give it a go - see what you think.. Its pretty cool :thumbsup:

Also the farmhouse near the end of the lane is a good spot to see a woman run across the road in front of your car as well.

Yes I believe in something - not quite sure what. Psychic energy build up type thing rather than ghosts.

Some based on family background stuff and the fact that I was a complete cynic until it happened to me on a number of occasions all when I wasn't looking for anything of this nature (three of them actually very busily working) and two of them with other people - one of them with a group of four colleagues.

Both my Grandmother and great Grandmother have/had "powers" I was always waiting for mine to "appear" but they never did.

There is a huge industry built around this. Have a look in the back of women's magazines - full of clarivoyants and mediums.

Please believe me - it's all drivel; there is no afterlife, no ghosts, no looking into the future, no reincarnation. All these so called sightings are explainable by scientific or logical reasoning.

People are afraid of dying and so make up these fantasy stories to comfort themselves. It's human nature that makes us want to believe.

It's hard to be bereaved, so people make up stories of ghosts and spirits to comfort themselves and others. Ths saddest of all is the widow or widower who talks of being re-united at death and actually believes it literally.

These are coping mechanisms - that's all.

Twofour, for a long time I would have agreed with you and I do agree that some people take advantage of vunerable people.

But some of the things that happened to me were at times where I was with other people who saw the same things - we were at work, not on drugs by the way! - and at times when i would have least expected something of that nature.
An ex b/f also had something unexplainable happen to him as a teenager. and we later found out that the house he lived next door to had allegedly been haunted for years.

Personally i think its all b-------,but thats me?:help:

me too. I'll belive in the supernatural if its ever proven, not untill.

Well, I'm interested the hows, and whys of the supernatural, but I wouldn't go out of my way to seek it, or believe it blindly.

For example, there's a chinese myth about the experience of a 'ghost sitting on you'. Whereby your body just shakes on the bed as if something is sitting on you, and moving about on it. My cousin had this when she was very young ( ), and it freaked out my auntie and my mom, as they were sitting and chatting when they realised something happened in the bedroom. (I cannot remember whether I saw this too.) They didn't do anything though there and then, cos it stopped. You guessed it.. my auntie then became a tad more superstitious and started to pray to the buddha, and got these stupid mirrors to hang on the front of the house to warn off evil.

It's only later that do I realise, there is a condition scientifically called 'sleep paralysis' which describes such experiences.

The other supernatural phenomena that I believe have certain scientific basis in it, is astral bodies/travelling.

Depends what you mean by "Supernatural". If there are ghosts and spiritual energy and things like that then there will be a cause for it and it will be, by definition, "Natural".

I think people want to believe in the "Supernatural" because they want to believe in magic.

Nevertheless, I am sure as it is possible to be, that there are rational explanations for everything that happens. The thing is that some people want to believe and there's not much one can say to convince them otherwise.

I must be the only one - I live up there and go down packman lane at least 2 nights every week, and yes I have my full beam on ( cos it's dark) and I have never seen a thing "

800 years ago the greatest scientific minds of the time knew absolutely positively that the world was flat. They also knew that the Earth was the centre of creation. The sun, they told the poor uneducated masses, orbited around the Earth. Anyone who disagreed was labelled heretic.

40 years ago the greatest scientific minds of the time scoffed and mocked at the idea of life on other planets. Man was alone in the universe, they told the poor uneducated masses, and anyone who thought otherwise was labelled a lunatic.

20 years ago the greatest scientific minds believed there was only one reality, only one dimension. Talk of multiple dimensions was pure science fiction they told the poor uneducated masses. You see where I'm going here?

To those of you who don't believe in ghosts, the supernatural, psychic powers etc. I would say only this: Are you so absolutely sure that you are right? Is there not room for just the tiniest bit of doubt in your mind? Or are you so arrogant as to believe that you know everything there is to know about the universe and the wonders that surround us?

I went up there last night - nothing :(

When we were kids we used to put white sheets over our heads and act about round there, but it was no later than 10pm totally ignorant of any supposed legend about ghosts.
