I believe in supernatural events simply because there's a lot of things in the world that are logically answered and some that are left with none. At the same those unanswered leave no harm unexplained.

All that is "reality" is really just what our mind creates for us to see, Right?
So.. If everything is just what our minds create than is the supernatural really any diffrent from "normalness"?
Or you know..

I think that everything has to follow some law of nature, and is therefore natural... they might not be laws that we know about, but they're around. So i suppose that the supernatural is just another form of eventually explainable natural.

I have a ghost living in my crib right now. So, yea I believe.
On a more serious note, I was raised up on the beliefs of spirits. I've never met a Native American who doesn't believe in spirits and ghosts. I have some awesome ghost stories, but they might be a little too scary for you folks.

I don't belive in the supernatural. Just cause well i havn't seen anything that unexplianable really, I belive in the after life and heven tho but not the after life remaing on earth. I belive they go to heven or hell no inbetween. And i totally agree with Chiyo about your brain putting an image there when your board.

I dont belive in the Supernatural, for mainly the same reasons as Chi has posted.
My mother swears blind that we have ghosts EVERYWHERE and all this rando stuff has happened.. But I do find it hard to belive in something I cant see/examine/have proof of.
I am scientifically minded, so as there is no proof, I dont belive.
"I will belive it when I see it"
"I will see it when I belive it"
on the note of, you see it when you belive in it, this works pretty well too.. XD

Spirits and Gohsts are possible but not what they are claimed to be.Gas based life is possible but would be vastly huge.
I don't think there are real werewolves,Vamps or Witches.Wiccans aren't "witches" but there may be something to them and Vamp Goths aren't Vampires in any way.

i've seen lots of documentaries of "is it real" and stuff about the supernatural. i think it's very interesting and i believe
something is out there. there are millions of cases of ghosts sightings and stuff. you can't say every single one of them is a lie

or if it's not ghosts, it's something. i hope it is though, i want to scare people when i die

just because you don't believe does't mean it does't exist. I could say that i don't believe in Semi-trucks and then try to walk across a freeway, i still have a chance to get run over by a semi-truck. what you lack is the ability to sense a presence and therefore you don't see.

Here we go AGAIN, I don't see because I don't feel presence? What a load of crap. Thats just a simple way of saying because I am not foolish enough to think there is a ghost behind me it means I will never see one.
A truck is a truck, its there its real and everyone can see it. You are talking about seeing something that cannot be solidly seen by everyone...note the difference.

other people see ghosts then they must be real by your logic
MonsterEnvy
May 8 2006, 01:27 PM
No, you miss the point. Not everyone who can see can see ghosts. Forgetting about blind people for a moment, everyone can see, touch, feel, smell, and get run over by trucks. Not everyone can see ghosts. Therefore, a truck is a physical object which is natural, and a ghost is an imaginary object which may or may not be real. Ghosts and other supernatural activities might be looked on as real or unreal, but as long as it's a question of belief, or as long as some people claim to see them, and others claim not to, you can't call them 'real.' There needs to be some sort of evidence, or theory to explain them. These theories should be presented using evidence garnered from observation. When you follow that route, you've effectively killed the idea of a ghost being supernatural, because you've explained it naturally. The only reason for someone to believe in the supernatural is for the sometimes comforting ideas of 1) being 'superior' than others because they imagine that they can 'see' 2) to escape from the day to day world of explanation and science and think that some things just can't be explained 3) because they have nothing better to do.
Chiyo
May 8 2006, 02:42 PM
MonsterEnvy pretty much summed it up for me, but yes my logic is a truck is something everyone can see....not just those who believe its there.
If you can't see that its convenient that only people who believe in ghosts can see them I may as well give up now.

About the hearing things in your house:
My house has a haunted toilet. No, I'm not joking. Our toilet has a bizarre habit of flushing when there's nobody else in the house. (The first time my mother heard it do that she freaked out and nearly called the police

) But I don't think there's actually a ghost there, or anything 'supernatural' is happening. I'm just pointing out the fact that weird noises happen, and it's not necessarily something unnatural that's doing it. Noise is a constant, natural thing and people read into it way too much.

My classmate has even told me some stories about her workers seeing the 5-6 ghosts wondering around in her house and how they got used to seeing them

She even told me how her mother became a victim of witchcratfs from her aunts and about 3 ghosts (fleeting souls) entering her cousin's body who became crazy for a period of time.. Really freaky when you put yourself in her position..
