Believe in ghosts? Ever see one? See a UFO before? How about them psychics? What's the deal with the Bermuda Triangle? Crop Circles, anyone? Who's up for some time travel?

Discuss the Paranormal here!

You really want the dead to have such a mundane existance in just floating around the world they already inhabited.

And I like that you disagree with some theories with circumstantial evidence and agree with one that is backed with circumstantial evidence.

I think UFO's are real. I am not positive, but I am pretty confident in that.


This one time Me, my dad, my buddy and his dad were on a camping trip in upstate NY about 45 minutes from lake george. My buddys dad is a pilot out of Teterboro and knows all about avaiation. And we saw 5 lights in the sky. they would stop for like 5 minutes, and then they would move in a pattern that makes you beleive that it cant be any kind of human thing.

the Pilot didnt know what it was either, and said it couldnt have been airplanes.


I mean i doubt its aliens, but its some kind of unidentified flying object by definition. whether its some kind of government aircraft or something thats secret, wouldnt surprise me. But if it is something out of this world, wouldnt shock me either. Although I doubt that the abductions and anal probings and **** happens....

Yes, My old house i lived in was haunted but not the type of Haunting where you were scared to death and weird stuff happen. I was only a little kid at the time but I could tell there was a spirit or ghost coming from my room when i was standing in my brothers room. I was not the only one to feel like there was someone there. My brother also so someone and as well did my mom.

I think you mean karma, which I don't think is supernatural so much as a religious/cultural belief.

As far as aliens go, I think they have to exist, but not as super advanced beings like the movies seem to think. More like that Alien Planet special on Discovery Channel.

I have my views on this, but try to stay objective and am totally open to being wrong.

There are bound to be aliens somewhere else in the universe. Should they ever find earth, they'd certainly be superior and it would be arrogant of us to think otherwise. I'm sceptical that there are aliens on the planet now (it just doesn't seem feasible), but those that believe so do make a reasonable argument.

The bermuda triangle is certainly odd and interesting. There are too many strange occurances and mysteries there for it to be a coincidence. There is no logical reason for 5 planes, 1 seperately, to disappear on the same day with no evidence found. And thats just 1 case,

I'm not so sure about 2012 being a doomsday. There have been many prophacies regarding the destruction of the planet, none of which have happened yet. That doesn't mean it won't happen, and should it be correct I think nuclear warfare is a more likely cause. I reckon The 21st of December is most likely to be a turning point in human existance, bad in the short term, but good in the long term.

One conspiracy theory that I like is that scientists have debated over whether it is possible for there to be a black hole on earth. Some do believe it's possible, and if so then the most likely spot where this black hole is is "The Bermuda Triangle." During Physics this year when we were trying to get our teacher off track we would bring this up. It does offer an explanation for all the weird occurances in the Bermuda Triangle.

05-28-2007, 02:35 PM
The Bermuda Triangle incidents haven't officially been solved, but there's a very probable possibility for why they have occurred.

On the seabed of this particular area, there are vast fields of methane hydrates. When methane eruptions take place, it will rise toward the surface drastically changing the density of the water. It occurs extremely quickly and a ship can literally sink 'out of the blue' within minutes.

Planes are also affected as even a trace amount of methane is able to simply stall out engines.

what are the odds of us being the only intelegent life?
I'd say those odds are extremely good.

I mean, what proof has been revealed to show intelligent life is capable of living outside of our own planet?

Maybe intelligent life really only can be supported in an environment identical to that of Earth. You have to realize, our kind of life is EXTREMELY fragile. If the climate of the planet changes even slightly, it results in massive disaster.

One aspect I especially look at is simply temperature.

Human beings have proven themselves to be very adaptable to the climate at hand. The Inuit have lived in the bone chilling cold for ages. Other people have been able to survive in the extreme heats of deserts.

But, you have to look at the big picture when it comes to temperature. For us, the difference between 100 degree F and 0 degrees F couldn't be any more extreme. In the grand scheme of things though (and by that I mean, the temperatures that exist in the universe), those 100 and 0 temperatures are identical to each other. In space, you're talking about temperatures that are so extreme we can't even accurately measure them.

Bottom line, nothing has been presented to show that intelligent life (let alone 99.99% of life in general) can survive in climates that are different to that of Earth.

So I ask this question in return, what are the odds of another planet having the exact (or at least, extremely similar) climate of Earth?

If the Earth was just a little closer to the sun, it would cease to exist as we know it. It would be a barren wasteland. No water, no hospitable climate, etc.

Fact is, the Earth is in a literally perfect situation. When you throw in all the possible variables, the odds of us being where we are are almost impossible.

Sorry for the school-esque report, but it's something I've got a strong opinion about. People love to bring up the "what are the odds we're the only planet with intelligent life" argument, but the cold (for some) reality is that those odds really are very good. Just look at the odds of our planet being in the exact situation it is. All in all, life is precious. That statement couldn't be any more true.

Just because we are unadaptable to temperatures and conditions doesn't mean other species are. For all we know there are aliens who are better "designed" and are more suited to hot or cold temperatures. Also, they could have mastered technology regarding climate control to their needs. There are all sorts of possibilities in such a vast universe. I think it is a bit closed to dismiss other lifeforms just because of what we know about earth; which is nothing in the grand scale of things.

I believe in aliens. The universe is so vast, we cannot even begin to comprehend it. There are billions upon billions of stars, and around these stars, planets orbit. There is absolutely no way you can convince me that intelligent life cannot exist elsewhere in the universe. There is 0% chance we are the only intelligent life planet out of the trillion or so that are probably out there, not to mention the ones that form and have been destroyed over 20 billion years or so.

Ghosts and spirits, I don't really know. They could, but I'm not a big believer. Then again, I've never personally had the experience. One thing that did intrigue me though was Black eyed kids. http://www.ufodigest.com/news/0806/bek.html . After I saw the exorcism of Emily Rose, I read up allllll about paranormal phenomena like these. The Black Eyed Kids are the ones that stick out.

I believe in Ghosts and Aliens. There are just way too many accounts of supernatural happenings that you can just say Ghost's aren't real. Same goes for UFO's and aliens. A line from a very good movie, Contact, if there is life somewhere else in the universe:

"Well, if there wasn't, it'd be an awful waste of space."

Also, I never had a supernatural experience, but my Sister told my family and I about her's. When she got up in the morning to take a shower at her apartment, she had placed her watch by the window sill or something, or on the sink ledge, and when she got out, her watch was gone. She asked her husband, but he didn't take it. Well, later on that night or maybe it was later on that week, she found the very watch in the bathroom sink with the face broken. Now, neither my sister or her husband had anything to gain from lying here, so I have no reason not to believe it.

Also, the condo she was living in back then, it used to be a hospital, where lots of people probably died, probably in the very room...

I believe there is life somewhere else in the universe. Maybe not the Independence Day type Aliens but I believe there is some life, whether it be bacteria and things like that.

Ghosts, yes. I've seen some pretty messed up stuff in my lifetime to come to that conclusion.

UFO's, hmmm I believe they exist but that they aren't controlled by aliens. I think it's the governement (Area 51 ring a bell?).

I'm a very spirtual person,not to be confused with religious.Some of the things I believe im sure conflict with certain individuals religious beliefs and im not here to debate religion so i'll try to keep details to a minimum.

Ghost/spirits.Very very extreme believer.Is everything you see on tv true? No of course not.Alot of programs and people exaggerate things.But they do exist and I know from many personal experiences.I've been to several haunted places and haunted towns (two being in my home state in Jerome,AZ and Tombstone,AZ).Whether what reasoning people have,whether it be that they are angels/demons or spirits unable to pass on to another life or to a place(heaven/hell).I've had several personal experiences with different types of spirits/ghosts and paranormal events in that aspect.

Aliens/UFO.Again this is something that alot of the garbage to see in movies and tv arent real and make it for hard for some to believe it.But I personally again have had experiences and believe we arent the only beings in the universe.There is too much oppurtunity in other planets/galaxies/dimensions for there not to be other beings.Now are they the swollen headed/huge eyed creatures you see in alot of movies.I doubt it although its possible.I would not be shocked if they look more like us and that they are even living among us.Now for UFO's,I think some of the things people see are probably government and military crafts that we dont even know about,but I do believe some of the things we see are crafts prob not of our own creation.If aliens exist and have had contact with us,then obviously they have the means to create crafts that cna exceed the expectations that are own can do(Darting at high speeds in diff directions,stopping,then darting again).

Mythological Creatures(Bigfoot/Lochness Monster etc...).
I believe they do exist.I personally believe they are creatures that somehow survived prehistoric eratimelevel or in that area.How? We may never know but there has been explorations underwater that have found underwater creatures that closely resembled creatures that existed during prehistoric ages.From accounts of descriptions of how the Lochness Monster looks,its very conceivable it could be a creature that somehow survived from those time peroids.Obviously people can make up things with thier imagination and it doesnt make it true.But for creatures like this or others like dragons,there is too much referance tothem for thier not to be aspects of truth to thier being.

End Of World/Doomsday.Its very possible.If you've watched the world and humanity enough you can see thats its all been slowly decaying and changing from the start.You can notice natural disasters in the last few years even have been more active and common.Weather occurences have become more and more unstable.Humanity has continued to suck the earths resources at a rate where we are pulling more than can be replaced.I think there are alot of incidents(natural disasters/war/religion) that could eclipse the world into a cataclysmic event.

Why would it?

According to the Mayan calender its the apocalypse or "spiritual transformation" both the Sun & the Earth will line up with the galactic equator & the earth with go throw a polar shift, in which our equator will become our new magnetic poles, which will cause lots of natural disasters

& no event on the Mayan calender has been proven wrong yet

I believe in these things big time.

Bigfoot

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/25/Smalfut.jpg/200px-Smalfut.jpg

Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a figure in North American folklore said to inhabit remote forests, mainly in the Pacific northwest region of the United States and the Canadian province of British Columbia. Bigfoot is sometimes described as a large, hairy bipedal hominoid, and many believe that this animal, or its close relatives, may be found around the world under different regional names, such as the Yeti of Tibet and Nepal and the Yowie of Australia.

Bigfoot is one of the more famous examples of cryptozoology, a subject that mainstream researchers tend to dismiss as pseudoscience because of unreliable eyewitness accounts and a lack of solid physical evidence. Most experts consider the Bigfoot legend to be a combination of folklore and hoaxes, but there are a number of authors and researchers who do believe that the stories could be true.

Loch Ness Monster

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/79/Lochnessmonster.jpg/200px-Lochnessmonster.jpg

The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid, claimed to inhabit Scotland's Loch Ness, the most voluminous freshwater lake in Great Britain. Along with Bigfoot and the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster is one of the best-known mysteries of cryptozoology. Most scientists and other experts find current evidence supporting the creature's existence unpersuasive, and regard the occasional sightings as hoaxes or misidentification of known creatures or natural phenomena. However, belief in the legend persists around the world.

Chupacabra

http://www.ghoststudy.com/para/pages/chupacabra.gif

A cryptid said to inhabit parts of both of the Americas. It is associated particularly with Puerto Rico (where it was first reported), Mexico, and the United States, especially in the latter's Latin American communities. The name translates literally from the Spanish as "goat sucker." It comes from the creature's reported habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats. Physical descriptions of the creature vary. Eyewitness sightings have been claimed as early as 1990 in Puerto Rico, and have since been reported as far north as Maine, and as far south as Chile. Though some argue that the chupacabras may be real creatures, mainstream scientists and experts generally contend that the chupacabra is a legendary creature, or a type of urban legend. It is supposedly a heavy creature, the size of a small bear, with a row of spines reaching from the neck to the base of the tail.

A lot of those people who swear they were abducted by aliens were found to suffer from sleep apnea, which would explain why people's stories almost all involve waking at their bed, unable to move, and see little men.

As for the rest, I can't say. There is enough fairly charted recordings of UFO's, be they alien or not, to believe that there must be something out there.

I was on Okanagan lake and I noticed a long piece of driftwood. Only thing is it was floating upstream rather quickly.

i'm very much a skeptic. i love hearing about all the unexplained stuff and supposed sightings. i have never experienced anything like that myself. my wife says she has recieved a very distinct sign following the death of a relative. so, when her grandfather died in early march, she was waiting for one...and then found out she was pregnant the day after his funeral.

What's the deal with the Bermuda Triangle?
happens to be a group of islands that are at the heart of where pretty much all hurricanes pass through, tremendously bad weather

Crop Circles, anyone?
people actually make them, crop fields have lanes that run 49ft apart (i think that the farmer can walk down and they use these and a lot of planning, along with a plank of wood tied to a loop of rope and they flatten the crops

tv is amazing

Did anybody hear those stories about WW2 fight pilots seeing UFOs and UFOs saying "Dont use WMD". Those stories are interesting.
