Ghost and Paranormal Activities

[Sassy Colombian]

I have felt a presence over in the CA area, a strange, relentless force that defies all logic!

Does feeling this presence scares you in any way? I'm trying not to have fear when I visit my mom's house as I don't want to feed this energy with my own uneasiness but I'm really scared of having to go to by myself to mom's house next week.

I don't believe in any of it. Every effort to prove it always comes from second-hand accounts "my friend's aunt..." etc. The human mind is incredible at filling in the gaps and presenting you something that seems real. It can show us impossible dreams, after all. Not a stretch for it to make you question if that was a flash of light or cold wind from somewhere you want to relate it to.

How come the spirit world isn’t overrun by the unfathomable number of small creatures that have perished over the ages (ghost ants!) and/or enormous dinosaur ghosts?

Also I find it weird that ghost sightings typically involve people in Victorian garb. Never heard of a ghost called Barry, wearing a Fila trackie.

Not a believer in visitations from the other side by any means but….A good few years ago I was on a residential course held on an old RAF base in the middle of nowhere in Norfolk. All building trade related stuff. We’d done 2 separate week’s study and everyone on our course were back for a further couple of day’s revision with the exam on the last day.

I was confident I knew enough to pass, was bored with studying on the last night and had teamed up with a Londoner who was quaking at the thought of the exam. He needed a drink, I fancied a bevvy, so we arranged a taxi expedition to the nearest town and abused it to the full. Hammered, would be a fair description of us both.

When morning came I skipped breakfast and headed to the exam room a little worse for wear, grabbed a coffee and sat down, surprised to see only the examiner there and nobody else.

After a while he said “you decided not to take up the offer of a lie in then ?” My blank look must have told him that I hadn’t a clue what he was on about. Especially as I appeared to have missed the chance of a few hours extra kip.

He explained that in the early hours of the morning all hell had broken out in the residential block we were staying in. Lads running up and down the corridors and out into the yard outside screaming their heads off. (I explained that I had taken a sleeping tab after revising, so as to get a good night’s sleep before the exam)

A number of the lads in different rooms had reported waking up to see ghostly airmen walking through their rooms and into the corridor. We’re talking brickies, scaffolders and crane drivers who reckoned they were tough as,

Others said they had deffo been woken by the sound of a piano and loud singing coming from the direction of the bar which was still in the same place as it always was back in the day.

The residential quarters used to be the officer’s mess and the sighting is apparently well known on the anniversary of an incident which happened there during WW 2 where the returning crew all died after a crash landing.

There was loads of other stuff that was mentioned including that the squash court next to the mess used to be the mortuary where their bodies had been kept and this time, as happened every time a visit was due, that when approaching the squash court the security guy would be dragged off in the opposite direction by his Alsatian with it’s tail between its legs.

The examiner said they were aware of the anniversary date but purposefully hadn’t mentioned it to anyone. The exam start had been delayed for 2 hours to give everyone time to catch up on their sleep….

When the rest eventually came down for the exam there were some hard men there who were clearly shaken by the experience and deffo did now believe. Some who were still shaking asked to leave and reschedule the exam for a later date.

I can only thank the good Dr Stella that I saw nor heard a thing and passed with a distinction, unfortunately my cockney drinking partner was right to have been worried as he completely flunked the exam. He was able to re-sit later though as he too claimed he had been very badly affected by the incident. So, as far as he was concerned, the ghostly visitors were most welcome.

I did catch up with him before we left after the exam, to insist he never mentioned a word about the 2 drunks who rolled back in at silly o’clock and decided to have a proper cockney, roll out the barrel knees up on the joanna, before eventually staggering to bed via the wrong rooms…..

The human mind is incredible, but there will always be things for which there are no logical explanations, because we simply do not as yet understand……

There are groups of them all around Liverpool…..

Consider this, if there is a ghostly presence and you encounter it you should be overjoyed. I say this as I can think of few things more reassuring than discovering evidence of an afterlife.

As long as the afterlife gives access to the internet, I’ll be straight back to scare the crap out of you all…@Davek and @chicoazul are already on their second runs……

We were flying it’s fair to say….

This was an unfinished thought. I should add that I’d LOVE to believe in this stuff, I’m just yet to see definitive proof for myself, directly or indirectly. I’d like to think after all these years and with the technology available, these ectoplasmic cowards would show themselves.

I've seen Siggy in our midfield....does that count?
Personally I have never come across a ghost or strange poltergeist experiences.
I am more fascinated by theories regarding coincidences or synchronicity as propounded by Jung...the "collective unconscious" as he called it.

Yes, exactly. People don't understand. They see or feel something, and imagination replaces explanation, and the result is belief in the 'paranormal'.

I like how you present things and how you have put a positive spin on the possibility of me getting frightened and while it would be reassuring to discover evidence of an afterlife, I also wouldn't mind being oblivious of it until my time comes lol

There is often a very mundane cause for what we mistake as supernatural or otherworldly - people who see colours and auras etc that other people can't can sometimes be something like an early warning sign of a detached retena for example.
