I know it may sound strange, but many people i know , had Strange visions, or stories about seeing Ufos. But they would always be Skeptic about saying anything about it. But i have always been interested in that subject so they would often tell me their stories.
If any of you experienced some Freaky, scary ,wierd or simply amazing things, Write a piece about it here!
( at least try to be serious about this one, or if you arent, well plz dont spam the thread with retarded stuff like for example : i was raped by an alien and then i raped its family. thanks.)
Even though the Barton Mansion video is most probably not real, it still craps me up everytime I watch- the website explains the video in full detail lol
As far as the weird experiences, parts of my current game's cutscenes are from actual nightmares I had as a kid, that yet today I have been able to explain But they remain vivid in my brain and I'm very excited to transform them into video, and to be part of the storyline of my current game. My game is broken down into 3 chapters..the first one is more light hearted and cute, but as it progresses it becomes darker, and my nightmares come into place. I dont' want to disclose them becasue would give stuff away
Actually, my Great Grandmother and Grandfather died, and there house was about one-hundered years old. My family used to hear giggling coming from upstairs, and footsteps and so forth. It was odd. The story of how my great-grandparents got the house is even stranger, though. It sounds so far fetched that I won't bother posting.
There are several other stories to tell, but I don't feel like typing them, to be frank.

one time I was a camp at a local college and I was in the bathroom in one of the rooms brushing my teeth. There was nobody in the entire sweet except me. Then from one of the stalls I heard heavy breathing so I start to run for the door then I stop and the breathing stopped, so I started to walk again and its started...this went on for a little bit then I got really freaked and ran for the door. when I came back in it was gone...it was probably the most scared I've ever been. I the complete truth too...
Oh, Once my bedroom door opened half way on its own and its kinda impossible to do this because the carpet is thick and stops it. I was alone upstairs at the time.
Also when I was 5, apparently I walked into my parents bedroom one morning and said I saw an old lady standing on my ceiling last night. This freaks me out because I dont remember it.
<qoute>At most hauntings that have had scietific studies done on them, there has been distinctive EMP emmissions eminating from nowhere.
No there haven't.
</qoute>
I agree that EMP emissions have not been found to be at so called ghost sightings, but unexplainable Electrostatic fields and EMF have been found to be a common appearance - even in places with no electrical apparatus. I'm talking about the slightly more believable studies where its more than an old hippy bloke with a beard going "ooh its cold here"
I'm naturally sceptical of most things by my nature being a scientist.
I would love to go on a ghost hunt sometime - it would be cool.
Premonition? i get that all the time - freaks my mates out - I don't know whether its my brain just calculating the biggest probability of result of an event or situation or there is something else at work .
Perhaps we should start a thread on ghosts theories and stuff? I would to have some discussions on them .
if you look at pictures of Aliens why are they always humanoid? do the people that make these hoaxes have no imagination.
the chances are real aliens will be so different and unlike anything on earth that you can't possibly predict what they would look like.
Good point Andy, although I'm sure there are several species of Aliens as well, So I think there's got to be humanoid kinds as well...and makes me wonder, if so...are we related to them?
The typical Alien image really upsets me, I fear them the most. More than ghosts, more than any of that shit. Little men with big eyes and heads that abduct and perform operations. They shit me up lol, thats why I darent watch close encounters of the third kind
-There's this really old house one of my friends live in; sometimes the old rocking chair moves as if someone's in it; other times you can hear voices and movement coming from empty rooms.
(this one is just stupid, but funny)
-Around where I live there are a lot of old Revolutionary War/Civil War graveyards hidden in the woods.
One time where my friends and I were walking in the woods to find one of the gravesites and all of a sudden this guy on motorcycle comes crashing through the woods asking if we needed help.
And then he tried to lead us deeper into the woods. We turned and walked the other way.

Listen up here is a weird thing that appened! like 4 monts ago i was in my car going back home from school.. it was about 3 oclock in the moring (i stayed late at school...exams and shits) so me and my boyfriend suddently saw a HUGE flash int he sky.. like if the sun rose up for 3 seconds. then it was a blank in our memories ... we were driving back.. didint know what the fuck appened and i were'nt even sure where we were at.. like i totaly lost track..we never knew what really happened... there wasent any storm or anything... its still a mistery to me
yes..indeed..that was strange.It was like if it was day time for 3 seconds..i hope it will happen again! even if they are scary as fuck, those events give me a thrill.
Wierd stuff happens to me all the time. I see little glimpses of pointless moments in the future (shoe tying, ambushes in games, breakups) in my dreams, which are generally useless because I can't really alter anything that's already destined to happen because well.. it just happens.
Either ways, I believe in the paranormal. I hate it how most scientists generally assume that the paranormal is 'anti-science'. Science is about what is real, and so far there's been as little proving the paranormal as there is evidence disproving it.
There was that one show on TV, though, forgot the name. They used a bunch of sensors, EM, heat, etc and stuff to check for ghosts. There's nothing in most of the episodes, but the strangest one was a final episode of one of the seasons, where they found strange signals from a psychic using his powers.
As for UFOs, most of the sightings are trash. Especially the ones where a UFO would hover over a major city and only one person could see it and the 70% other where the UFOs are caused by a poor camera or dust. I think if there really were aliens, they'd be a bit more obvious about it, like a documentary guy filming a bunch of monkeys or something. Hell, even if they were out for resources like the 16th-20th century European colonists, they'd come here, enslave us, and call it "the burden of introducing technology and civilization".

Muz if you read my post i dont say it the paranormal is 'anti-science' or anything of the sort. Until i have proved or disproved something personally i tend to never really trust other peoples data - thats why i said i wanted to go on some ghost hunts !
Personally I believe that there is something strange happening and we can not explain it...I could design some seriously cool electronics to detect the alleged energies being emitted - perhaps i should ring up most haunted or whatever it was called .
If the reports are to be believed, and a ghost does cool down a surrounding area - it must be absorbing heat energy for some reason.
I can not see why science and religion etc say can not get on - i may be a scientist - but i do believe in god or as i like to think a "big boss" - science has only made me belive more - theres just to many coincidences - the earth having a magnetic ferrous core to cancel out radiation, the moon being the perfect size and distance to do a perfect solar eclipse.
HT, I didn't mean you. I meant the 'scientific community', i.e. the non-intellectual academics who think that everything they learned in the universities are true. The same type of idiots who claimed that fire is caused by philogiston (sp?), not oxygen and the ones who claimed that Vitamin C didn't exist. I'm of the belief that the theory of evolution and the Adam and Eve theory could co-exist, like maybe God evolved Adam from monkeys, though both the mainstream monotheistic religious community and the mainstream scientific community would call me a heretic for even thinking such things.
There's plenty of things on this planet left unexplained, but it could probably be a few years/decades/centuries before people figure them out. After all, the very concept of an atom or electromagnetic rays was unimaginable a few centuries ago, a few centuries in the future, we may actually find out what happens after death. Maybe consciousness isn't just in the head like today's scientists claim..

"I can not see why science and religion etc say can not get on"
Part of the problem is that the two sides don't know enough about each other.
For example, many scientists assume that the age of religion automatically out-dates it. But I've known a lot of sciency people who've stood dumbfounded when they've been shown some of the scientifically accurate stuff in the Bible, like descriptions of the globe-like shape of the earth, the water cycle, and hygiene laws thousands of years before their time.
On the other hand, many religionists simply don't understand the scientific principles that they're criticising.
For example, evolution. You can't just say "Evolution is wrong", because evolution is a bracket term. It has sub-areas, some of which have more supporting evidence than others. The concept of natural selection, for example, has been a proven fact for thousands of years (selective breeding has exploited this since caveman days). But the 'primordial soup' idea is a far weaker principle - which is why a considerable number of scientists don't agree with it. It doesn't mean they don't believe in evolution, just that the 'primordial soup' idea is a stab in the wrong direction.
While its true that the majority of zealous fucks don't know what they're attacking, you're wrong in suggesting that scientists don't understand religion. The majority of scientists are religious as a simple manner of statistics (though yes the incidence of atheism would be higher, and unless they're retarded the religious ones tend to be deists).
For example, many scientists assume that the age of religion automatically out-dates it.
That's non sequitur, and as such I doubt any real scientists assume this.

You're either lying or talking about idiots.
like descriptions of the globe-like shape of the earth, the water cycle, and hygiene laws thousands of years before their time
The sphericity of the earth has been know for thousands of years (flat-earthism had a minor resurgence during the dark ages, DUE to biblical literalism), the water cycle was not properly understood (at the precipitation stage) until a couple of centuries ago at most, and the biblical 'hygiene laws' are mostly fucking ridiculous (and even if they weren't, simple trial-and-error over generations of civilisation is a more plausible explanation than divine knowledge).
The conflict between religion and science exists only where positive claims are made by dogma. In these cases it is within the ability, and duty, of science to refute them.
