a woman at my old job once said (in all seriousness)
"its awful what they are doing to the animals,so many are becoming extinct, just look what happened to the unicorns."
classic! bless her.

It's not the first time I have encountered someone who thought that Unicorns might have existed at one time and then became extinct.

trust me, this old dear meant they had existed in her lifetime.

I once saw a unicorn, or maybe it was a horse with a party hat on.

Abominable Snowmen (AKA Yeti, Sasquatch, Almas etc.)
UFOs
Loch Ness Monster (Still undecided on this one... I'd like to believe it's real)
Ghosts


Above are my choices!

You mean there's no such thing as unicorns? :wow:

I beleive in all of them, there are more things in heaven and earth horatio than man ever dreamed of in his philosophy!!!

Think I believe in ghosts. Had a weird experience tonight. I've been at the Steelers match and get dropped off at the bottom of the gennel coming home. Usually I run up as I'm scared someone might "get" me, lol, but tonight I just strolled up, it was like I wasn't on my own. Fair enough, I might have been paranoid, but I looked in the sky, I couldn't focus properly on it, but something was up there, don't ask me what but it was buzzing around. I started to run...

Abominable Snowmen (AKA Yeti, Sasquatch, Almas etc.) - definately possible but not convinced

Kraken - not sure
UFOs - I am getting bored of it to be honest
Loch Ness Monster - of course
Unichorns - most definately
Dragons (of the fire breathing, living in caves variety) - hades yes!!!
Vampires - yes
Werewolves - yes
Ghosts - not sure

Moon Maiden

I think the Abominable Snowman and Yeti etc. are myths which do not exsist.

I can't see any possible way on earth the Loch Ness Monster exists. For a start the loch was a iceberg 10,000 years ago and a reptile warm blooded or cold blooded could not survive in its very cold waters.

Kraken - Certainly do if you count the Giant squid. These are quite common in the deep seas of New Zealands south coast.

Unicorns - No

Dragons - No

Ghosts - not sure - poltergeists do seem to have been factually recorded so it's possible.

Lycanthropy has been proven in some humans but not in the fact they change into a wolf from a man just they are mentally disturbed.

Vampires - Many cases of humans wanting blood as a beleif it will keep them young, but a true vampire that follows legend - No.

UFOs - Yes
But little green men UFOs - Nope, afraid not. The distances/speed/timeframe that it takes to get from a planet or moon to earth is just to vast for any species that cannot live for 100`s of years to explore.

I do beleive in extra terrestial life though as the chance of planets and moons not being within life bearing distance of there sun given the huge numbers involved which are near infinity must be impossible.

I believe there are literally millions of planets in the galaxies that would have life on them and it would be evolution that decides how intellegent these life forms would get.

Ghosts - yes, possible.
UFOs - Not sure.
All the rest - no-all fantasy.

It's all a bit like religion:- Lot of belief all around but not enough proof. I'm too analytical and prefer scientific or tangible proof. I have a hard time believing in something that comes down to here-say, legends and stories with no hard evidence. Where I live is said the be the UFO capital of America. Gulf Breeze is inbetween 2 navy training bases. Hmmmm, UFOs or some hot shots flying secret military missions?

I'd love to say that ghosts don't exist cos they scare me silly. But they do. I've seen several.
I have a bit of a theory about who sees ghosts and who doesn't. (And it's nothing to do with those of us who have being off our rockers:lol: )
Some people actually seem to have a 'dampening' effect on ghostly things. Keeping them in the vicinity can stop anything odd/supernatural happening at all. My partner is one of those, and so is my mother. Nothing odd happens around my mother at all...and the one time my partner was actually present when ten of us watched a ghost glide past, he was the only one who didn't see a thing. The rest of the time he seems to definitely have a dampening effect on ghosties, they just don't go near him.
Other people seem to attract ghosts and odd happenings (lucky me). Their presence is enough to set things off. Or ghosties don't feel shy around them:o and just continue with whatever business they were about.
Saying all this, I'm hugely sceptical about the presence of a ghost until I've proved to myself that it can't be anything else - it's always nice when you can put something scary down to a logical and thoroughly unscary cause.

Vampires - yes (but not in the post-bram stoker sense) :evil:
Ghosts - yes
Ufos - rubbish! If they were so advanced why can we see them? and why do they always look human?!

Saw a programme yesterday that suggested we need the alien myth in order to put a new face on all our old myths, because humans use stories as one of our main tools for learning - about morals, dangers, human nature, etc, but we can no longer relate as well to the old fairy stories, greek tragedies, etc...
Of course I'm not putting it as well as they did, but it made far more sense than the rest of the silly babbling about psycho-sexual fantasies people seem to have about aliens and alien abduction.

With regards to UFOs, there is a lot of fascinating information out there - whether it be evidence of extraterrestrial contact/visits or not is another matter. I think that to say that we are the only "advanced" species in the galaxy/universe (or at least, this universe - which I personally define as being contained within the boundary of the Big Bang - it's not infeasible that there may be other universes drifting in the infinite expanse), is somewhat arrogant - which I suppose is a trait in the species - to think that we are somehow special, or unique in our existence.

I personally don't think that life on this planet evolved by accident, and there may be dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions, etc. of other intelligent (or primitive) species out there. We have a habit of considering the possibilities, or in our case, the limits of space travel based on our technology, and the knowledge we currently have - which is obviously natural. We currently lack the technology, resources, and knowledge of distant space travel, but does that mean that we should automatically assume that it is incontrovertibly impossible, not only for us, but for any other potential life out there? A few centuries ago, the idea that the earth was round, or that the earth orbited the sun was considered absurd, and those who believed it labelled heretics - let alone the thought that we'd be landing on the Moon, or sending probes to the outer Solar system. What if there are civilisations that broke these boundaries thousands of years ago? Also - why do we assume that they want to visit us anyway, lol?

Anyway, with regards to the others - there is a lot we don't know about - but just because we lack the knowledge about them, it doesn't mean they don't exist. Vampyres, Lycanthrope, Dragons, Unicorns etc. in the traditional, or mythological sense may seem a little far fetched - and may well not exist now - but put in the context of the time that the myths/legends/stories were created, those who created them probably truly believed they existed - it's natural to try to rationalise the unexplainable, or the obscure. Vampyres may well have been a cult of humans who thrived on drinking blood - such a bizarre or repulsive idea, that it has developed into monstrous legend by those who witnessed the events - the humans become vampyres, who feast on the innocent at night. Lycanthrope may have been a sect of humans, who killed others while dressed in wolf skin; the dragon myth may well have developed from a Dark, or Middle Age architect who stumbled across the skeletal remains of a dinosaur while planning a castle - since there was no palaeontological knowledge at the time, it developed into a flying, fire breathing monster. The people who witnessed the "events", etc. could not explain with their knowledge, and so developed stories of monsters to somehow rationalise (if that’s the right word!) the situation.

Or something like that, anyway - I seem to be rambling on again, so I'll leave it there.

Just to clarify, I don't knock the existence of other kinds of life in the universe. I too think it's a bit arrogant to say we're the only 'advanced' civilisation in the universe.

I just think it's a bit unlikely that other life forms would want to visit just to poke about at the reproductive bits of a load of Americans.
Eeeew.

Lycanthropes are most likely a nasty bit of anti-PR. More bad publicity for maligned wolves, and for people suffering mental illness. Apparently odd behaviour and crime rise at full moon. Put wolves and 'loonies' together, and you can be nasty about both at the same time. Victorian values? Or earlier?

We'd still have dragons and unicorns if Noah had panicked when it started raining and pushed off too early.

Ghosts. I've spent much of my life witnessing activities at the home I grew up in. Not seen or heard anything since I was in my early 20s, but I'd be more than happy to witness such events again!!

- yes i believe that 1Man&HisBMW exists. theres proof here and there was proof in the chat room the other day.
1man: you appear to be undecided as to whether you believe in yourself or not!!!

The only one i'd say that i kinda belive in is ghosts,but i wouldnt say i'm 100% sure they exist.
As for the rest i think there a load of nonsence! :lol:

Abominable Snowmen (AKA Yeti, Sasquatch, Almas etc.)
* Yup. Even if not now, I think they *did* exist... or something similar.

Kraken
* Not familiar with this :)

UFOs
* Maybe :) I was reading an excellent story a while back that is grounded in many cultures. It goes something like there are 7 planets out there which can support life (of which Earth is one). There were advanced lifeforms that seeded these planets and periodically check on them. The strange thing was that the vessel they inhabit was described as a perfect sphere, that is close enough to observer the Earth, it's also very large. I think they found a moon with that characteristic... I think it was a Jovian Moon but can't remember >< anyway this moon is a PERFECT sphere and spins the wrong way round on its Axis..... I've never been able to find info on it since first reading it tho Oo

Loch Ness Monster
* Again, maybe in the past... or as a legend... if it existed now they would find it with sonar.

Unichorns
* Legend only :) or maybe a mutated Stag ;)

Dragons (of the fire breathing, living in caves variety)
* There were some big lizards living in the far east thousands of years ago... their flicking tongues looked like fire... so in a way, yes ;)

Vampires
* Hmm... no. Probably a story based on a very inbred count :)

Werewolves
* Again... no. Probably an idea borne out of ideas about inner-Animal spirits that the Australian tribes used to advocate...

Ghosts
* No... BUT. There's a Pub in the country where you can hear the fain sounds of something clicking. Historical documents showed it was used as a billiard room some 100 years back, but recordings of the sounds when compared to balls bashing together didn't match.... until.... someone came up with the inspiration that the materials used to make the balls were different back then. They used period balls and got an accoustic match. So, I believe that there are more dimensions that are not normally perceivable to us, and that it could interact with sound in a similar way to the way say length and depth interact in our 3D world. So effects may resurface after the cause in the first three dimensions is gone.

UFO's...affirmative - why I hear you ask... because I saw not one, not two, but three 2 weeks ago driving back late one night from Buxton. I'm mean I saw actual 'craft' not just lights in the sky, they could only have been 100ft off the deck...scared the sh*te out of me, I now have to sleep with the light on :o

Hehe, I am indeed for real - personal demonstration for the ladies upon request :banana:

1RealMan&HisBMW

UFOs:
YES ... imagine that you were a 2 dimensional creature and you were to encounter a 3 dimensional life form. I believe there are alien life forms that exist and do not have a physical aspect to their being. Flying saucers ... hmmm.

Vampyres:
YES ... people who steal other peoples energy ... many of them around and you can feel them ... usually they have a 'cold' feeling about them ... avoid eye contact unless you know what you're doing.

Lycanthropy:
YES ... people who can materialise and de-materialise at will and also change form ... i can feel like a bit of a wolf myself when the moon is full ... animalistic and connected with the animal that i really am ... are people animals ?

Ghosts:
YES ... but only sexy blonde female ones that constanty haunt my wildest dreams.

:P

Surely thats why they call you Spacecadet, non?

Just for those that aren't up on their ancient mythology - the Kraken, or Krakken, is a giant squid of titanic proportions. The norse, romans and greeks all had their versions - some even believed it held up the world in it's tentacles!!

Jamie W - interesting point about the vampires and energy draining - have you read 'the celestine prophecy'??

If aliens are intelligent enough travel billions of miles through space why do they insist on abducting the dumbest people on earth ?:twisted: :twisted: :?

Hiya Agent Dan, I've not read "the celestine prophecy" nope.

Any good? What's it all about then?

Jamie

what ya trying to say there playman, I know what I saw...and I isn't stupid!!

Does anyone remember the trick that was pulled in the Big Tree car park on Woodseats a few years back?

They bought/borrowed some effect lights that created UFO shapes in the sky.

I remember listening to Night Owls on Hallam and laughing my head off at people phoning up after they had seen UFO's over Woodseats!!!

I don't remember that particular trick but it's true that most UFO sightings turn out to be something simple.

All of them because I am so gullable and naive!!!

WTF Jon !!! ... you trying to tell us Father Christmas and the Easter Bunny are made up ???

:o shush might be little kids reading this....:thumbsup: cos Santa is real

Ghosts
100% for definite because I've seen two

The rest I'll need to see proof Im affraid

None, other than ghosts perhaps....

Abominable Snowmen - nope

Kraken - apart from the orlando rollercoaster, not sure what it is

UFOs - nope, peoples imaginations i think (or drugs possibly)

Loch Ness Monster - maybe a big fish but no

Unichorns - fairy tale character im sure

Dragons - another fairy tale

Vampires - define vampire, if that just means someone who drinks blood etc. then yea. people do live by the ways of a vampire, i know that for sure

Werewolves - i can think of a few who get stranger on a full moon.. but werewolf.. dont think so

Ghosts - now that is something i do believe in. can sometimes be scary, but also comforting at the same time.

UFO's are a definite. The captain and I work in the airline and to cut a long story short...it is not appropriate to report what is seen ! I know some pilots who have been off work due to being freaked out by what they have seen 'up there'. There is definitely something that can not be named!

Er,non really.......

Abominable Snowmen (No)
Kraken (No)
UFOs, Possible, we exist so it is logical that other life exists out there.
Loch Ness Monster(No)
Unicorns (no)
Dragons (of the fire breathing, living in caves variety) (no)
Vampires (no)
Werewolves (No)

Ghosts, Most definitely but I class them as Spirits.
Has anybody else seen or sensed someone there, perhaps
to warn us of impending danger or some other life change.
If so what and where I wonder.

Absolutely none of them. i have been to Loch Ness and i'm sure the locals are laughing at all the silly tourists whilst raking in all their cash. UFO's are plain ridiculous. why keep coming here for all those years for seemingly no reason? Ghosts, i believe are just a product of stress and its effects on the brain, subsonic sound and a host of other logical explanations. there is a woman in our factory who the men call Sasquatch (not me!), but apart from that...............

I beleive in all of them "There are more things in Heaven and Earth than Man ever dreamed of in his Philosophy"

re: Ghosts.

I've encountered many strange things in my time ... but have never seen a 'ghost' with my eyes. Are 'ghosts' visible to the eye !? ... and if not ... does that mean they do not exist !?



Just out of interest ... what are 'ghosts' ... ?

1. Dead people (humans) who retain strong ties to the 'earth plane'.

2. Non human ... inorganic (not having a physical body) beings.

3. Projections of the 'universal energy field' ... manifesting through you.

4. Other ... ?

Hi Ho! Kermit The Frog here!

I think vampires invented the myth of werewolves just to keep suspicion away from themselves. Think about it - if you find corpses drained of blood, with puncture marks in their necks what do you do? Go to the nearest graveyard and stake all the corpses there! Yet imagine if you find bodies shredded at every full moon - you go and stab with a silver knife the nearest hairy man whose eyebrows meet in the middle.

Genius!

With regards ghosts, or apparitions, I have no doubt that people have seen them. What I don't understand though is why, if they are spirits of the dead as some people claim, are they wearing clothes?

The clothes they are seen in don't have spirits so why are THEY there?

Same goes for the sightings of coaches. Are these the spirits of dead coaches?

All this makes me believe that these 'sightings' are not spirits of the dead, but replays of past events and that the objects sighted are not aware of our presence so can never interact with us.

To account for phenomena such as bangs, moving furniture and the other spooky occurances I'd say they ARE the actions of spirits. There, but never seen.

Time and its mechanics is one of the few things we still don't understand, and probably never will.

Having said this, I think I'd still have a 'brown trouser' moment if I ever saw anything.

The one thing I do believe in is UFO's because of things I have seen.

As for the rest, I remain open minded.

My way of looking at it is, that all things are possible. If someone can give me concrete proof that they DON'T exist then fine. Just because someone cannot give me concrete evidence that they DO exist, that doesn't mean that thay don't exist. Does that make sense? It does to me anyway!!

I remain open minded.

May be we should add Truth and Beauty to the list of supernatural phenomena Lickszz?

To be serious I'd like to beleive in ghost, it seem to be very easy to beleive as well. We havent seen many of these things, probably not a thing, so we'd better decide what to believe considering it good or evil to ourselves.

Plus Ghosts and Dragons and Vampires are more inspiring when it comes to something like writing, drawing -- for any creative activity. They are more provocative characters.

Am I right?

But Halevan have made it out in this thread perfectly...

So girls like Jordan and co are possibly true ghosts.

I've pulled every single one in Roxy's.

UFOs are real. I once threw a sock out my window and people were like ' What the Bubba is that?' Before i would say its my sock mr neighbour person, it was an unidentified flying object (UFO).

In all seriousness, i do believe in UFOs. Still waiting to see one. Maybe even see an alien interviewed on Springer!

I believe in Vamps ,Weres ,Ghosts and the lochness monster ;]
