**** right I do, but do any of you?

Like souls, how can chemicals or the brain explain our likes and dislikes and emotions and why do we have beliefs in souls?


My personal preference is Ghosts and Demon stuff even though it scares the crap outta me!:eek:

I would love to see a ghost though as long as It's not in my house!

Yes, i also believe in ghosts, spirits and the like- it dosent seem unreasonable to exist as energy rather than matter. The body only carries the "soul".

I also believe that places have spirts too- i walked along the Irwell a few times in Manchester and it had a really bad feel to it- like it was furious about the damage done to it over the years by man.

My old teacher in college used to believe 'spoken words' are absorbed into the walls in the rooms they are spoken in. He often used to to wonder what happened after the building was knocked down and demolished, what happens to the words and sounds? Are they released back?

Not paranormal really.

i believe there is something...

I have no idea what, but I don't know how people can rule it out completely.
I have never seen anything ghostly, or weird but have spoken to plenty of people that have, and are not liars.

There must be something else....

Timeslips really interest me!:)

Timeslips really interest me!:)

What's a time slip?

Do you Believe in the paranormal? NO. It is all poppycock!

What's a time slip?

I don't know the official definition, but from my understanding, it's when the past of future comes into present day.
Example: there are reported time slips around Bold St. a man walked out of waterstones, and found bold st as it would have been years ago.
He walked back in the shop, and when he went back onto the street, it was present day again.

That is a terrible explanation, but hope it helps!:)

I love that it's brilliant.:D

A few years ago I was riding on the London underground. As we sped througha supposedly disused station I saw a lot of people dressed in fasions appropriate to the Victorian era. This, however, turned out not to be a timeslip, but rather the filming of a TV series...

I went on the tour of Maine Road shortly before it was closed down...as I stood silently and gazed at the empty stands opposite, I was astonished to discover that I could here the cheering fans as if their voices were echoing through time or something.

They also film a load of period drama street scenes in John Nash's Regents Park. Drove through there many a time in the night and saw the film crew with their smoke machines and actors in period clothing.

I was driving down Smithdown Road one dark windy rainy night, it was deserted then out of the blue, a lady with just a flimsy minidress thumbed a lift. I thought this was odd, given the weather and the fact that the pubs had well let out and she was alone too. I feared for her safety so I stopped. She got in the car said nothing and just pointed ahead so I drove. I asked her her name and all she said was that she was a witch, at which point she put her hand high up on my leg and I turned into a side street.

NO, I don't believe in any of it.

I think younger people are more taken in with all the scary spooky stuff - they love to frighten themselves with horror films and ghost stories.
My son is getting into spooky stories now and is wide eyed about it all. I keep telling him it's all daft nonsense.
As for demons, ghosts, little people, banshees, Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy or whatever .. that's definately nonsense. :rolleyes:

I might have been a bit taken in with that kind of thing when I was young but I'm too old and mature and sensible now :nod:


Sorry to anyone who likes this kind of thing - no offence meant - but it's superstitious yarns and there will always be a logical explaination for anything 'parnormal' :nod:

I truly believe in the paranormal only because more than one member of my family have seen my dad after he passed away at the same time.

When we moved in to our house about 10 years ago, I was taking a drink in the kitchen and noticed a shadow going past the window - thinking it was someone outside ready to break in, I stopped and waited until this shadow (figure type) moved to the inside wall, so that anything that was casting the shadow couldn't be from outside. With all the curtains drawn and the only way (as I proved to myself the next day through experiements) was that someone was in the living room casting the shadow through the door, though no one was in the house at the time.

The other time was when the bells were being put in St Mary's Hale years after the fire, one of my mates who doesn't believe in all this was working in the tower when someone came up and thanked him for the hard work he was doing. Later that day when the vicar came to the church, my mate asked who he was and described him. The vicar told him that it was one of the church helpers that had died about 10 years ago.

I do think there are lots and lots of situations that can be addressed as tricks of the mind or nothing more than simple explanations, it's the strange things like seeing your own family members prove (to me) that there is something.

I'm sceptical about it all, yet I have dozens of books on the subject and like real life investigations though not that nonesense by Derek Acorah/Yvette Fielding who finds a ghost in every house (wouldn't make good t.v. if he didn't and hasn't he recently been caught out). Besides, my missus swears she two two when younger and i'm not arguing with her no siree - therefore who am I to diss others just because I haven't witnessed any. Maybe i'm just not sensitive enough

I was very sceptical as a child that anything like this existed but after seeing 'something' myself I changed my mind. I wasn't asleep, nor drunk or under the influence of anything but saw something clear as day.

On a more relevant note, I mentioned my friend who had worked in HMV on Church street. In the run up to Christmas a few years ago he was doing a stocktake late at night when he saw someone walking towards him down the corridoor but the closer they got, the less clear they became. There was no way anyone could have got down that end of the corridoor without first walking past him because it was a dead end but it really freaked him out. The security guard said it happens all the time, not really surprising when you think what was there before HMV was built.

oohhh thats spooky.
you should tell your friend to drop tom slemen a line :)

I tried, I love Tom Slemens books but he said 'Ah, can't be arsed' typical fella!. My friend also said that the security guard told him he had seen people running out of H&M (I think) screaming. Spooky because thats where Hedersons burned down, my Mum remembers it happening because she was supposed to go there to get buttons on her way home from school

'can't be arsed'......'CAN'T BE ARSED'......

Tom would surely never turn down the chance for book No.14? :)

I thought I was in a Time Slip myself tonight! Came home and switched on the TV and started to watch...wait for it...The Crystal Maze with Richard O Brien!!!

So I had to watch it as I loved it, but out in the car before, what came on the radio? Land of Confusion by Genesis! I've not heard this in years and it's taken me well back a few years!! :) :)

Actual people running out of there or ghosts?
good story!

Well, although I'd love to believe in all this paranormal stuff, I reckon it’s all nonsense, I mean depending on who you talk to and where about you are you might experience

An afterlife
Ghosts
Spirits
God
The devil
UFO’s
Time slips
Elves
Ghouls
Leprechauns
Chupacabra
Yeti
Angels
Zombies
Aliens
Monsters – sea/lake/woods/under the bed
Demons

Somehow, it makes me think you wouldn’t be able to have a quiet night in.

lol !! I like it ! That's my view too. ha,ha.

They dont exist.......There have been numerous TV shows usually featuring the beloved Acorah and Yvette adn despite the thousands of feet of video tape, they havent actually filemd a ghost......lots of orbs (lol).....bumps....cold bits...hot bits... but nothing even approaching the standard "ghost"......now that could be that they exist on a differnet spectrum or some other load od crap, or it could be that they dont exist....I based this on the fact that after watching youve been framed for numerous years I have noticed several phenomenon which before the programme I didnt know existed e.g. brides feinting at the altar and people throwing model aeroplanes into the air and then they fly into the back of their own heads......same applies to UFOs all the standard descriptions of UFOs (ie like the ones in the X files) and not a single video, some small lights flying over mexico city, small aliens or what!!! The day concorde crashed I the were two videos taken of an unplanned accident and this was before the advent of camera phone......but still no UFO videos or ghosts.

Is is and isnt isnt.

I once stayed in Chingle Hall near Preston, supposedly one of the most haunted houses in England, to raise money for charity. Well as you’ve probably already guessed, I’m pretty sceptical about ghosts etc. but I thought I’d give it a fair crack of the whip. So I stayed up all through the night and spent some time in each of the bedrooms, the main hall and the chapel. But you guessed it nothing!

If anything, once you got a good fire going in the main hall, it’s actually quite cosy!

Never, I do not believe!!!

My eldest daughter(25) used to have an imagenary friend called Kevin who lived at the bottom of our stairs she was about 2 or 3 at the time. As the years went by less and less was heard about kevin. When my twin boys were born(9) they to were found playing at the bottom of the stairs with Kevin. Heres the strange bit, A man who lives about 2 doors away from me and was only a kid during ww2 had a friend of the same age who was evacuated from Liverpool during ww2. He came to stay in the house I live in now From what this man can remember he went back to liverpool and he never heard of him again. guess what his friends name was. "Kevin"

What's a Chupacabra?

There is an imaginary adminstrator on here too - you've guessed it - Kevin. :unibrow:

Chupacabra is supposedly an evil being that kills in the night, I used to work with a lot of Puerto Ricans and they really believed in it.

I'll tell you what did make me nearly poop on Sunday. Cleaning the house and stopped the CD player to take a phone call. Bout 5 mins later, music came on from no-where and the CD Player started playing track 2 - one of my fav tracks. It wasn't on pause, there's no remote and there was no reason why track 2 was selected from the album. Propper weird moment that I really couldn't explain! :eek:

Ah yes, track 2 of your best of JC. - how appropriate.....

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy dayyyyyyy....






altogether now... yippeee aye ayyyyyyy - yippeee aye ohhhhhh..........

When i left school my first job was a cashier in the Army and Navy stores Byrom Street there was a also a shop facing and one further up under the flats, facing the shop under the flats was our warehouse which was a church,my two friends worked in there, the church still had its altar and a balcony, there was a lady who did all the alterations to the clothes and she worked by herself in a little room, every one said it was haunted and the funny thing was when they knocked it down there was a grave yard underneath, the workers had to stop work and apply for permision to move the remains. it was a really weird place.

I believe, but that stuff terrifies the arse off me.

That shop under the flats, were the flats called Fontenoy Gardens. If so there was a Church facing called St. Stephens but it was demolished in 1938 there was however a Hall nearby to it called Byrom Hall.

I've been waiting all my life to see a ghost, demon, ghoul or vampire. It seems the more you want to see them the less they want to see you. Some things never change. I think I once saw a werewolf in Woolton woods but on reflection it might have been a smackhead. I have friends who are Wiccamists. They claim that Wicca is the native religion of this country and Christianity is alien.

Overall then, agnostic but living in hope.

Yes the flats were Fontenoy Gardens, was Byrom Hall a church? because there was an altar in there, it was later than 1938 about late 60s or early 70s
John Moores is situated there now.
