Paranormal Activity... Are you a believer?

[Bibliophile 0]

I saw Paranormal Activity last night. It was a good movie. I would certainly recommend it.

I don't believe in paranormal activity, and I still enjoyed it. Perhaps evenmoreso, I enjoyed the audience's reactions to the movie. I didn't know so many people were superstitious. The people behind us were screaming throughout the whole movie, as were many others in the theater.

If you believe in paranormal activity, you will probably be one of the folks screaming throughout the movie. Even if you don't believe, you will still enjoy it.

I am not going to spoil the movie, but I would recommend going to see it. More important, however, I would even recommend going to see it with someone who believes in the paranormal. You will get kicks and giggles out of their fears and screams.

"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who
can do nothing for him."

Total Skeptic.

Glad to hear the movie doesn't suck. Might have to check it out. I laughed all the way through the Exorcist when I saw it in high school. All that soup flying around . . .

I don't think paranormal activity and being superstitious are the same thing. I guess it would depend on what you think they both mean

I'm sorry I can't watch those freaking movies.
Too much freaking camera shake!

I believe in the scientific explanation of things like ghosts. . They are simply rips in the fabric of time and space, or projected images from the past.

However I did have mysterious bowel movement the other day, just came out of nowhere.

Now if I could only see some future visions of lottery results.

A physicist friend of mine use to believe that it was caused by cosmic rays striking your optic nerve.

I don't know, matter is energy and energy is matter. We are run by energy but are made of matter. I don't know....I hope there is more than just this.

Because this in all honesty isn't all that good.

Look up the definitioin of paranormal and you will see it has nothing to do with superstition or ghosts. :)
I did a whole paper for school on the paranormal.

Paranormal is a general term that describes unusual experiences that lack a scientific explanation,[1] or phenomena alleged to be outside of science's current ability to explain or measure.[2] Notably, paranormal phenomena also lack scientific evidence, as detectable but not well explained phenomena such as dark matter or dark energy are not commonly called paranormal.

OK then yes I have to. Light it self can be considered paranormal. It is both a particle and a wave .
Gravity, we have no clue where it comes from other than somehow some way it's related to "mass" which we can't seem to quantify. The female G spot....often looked for but never really found nor documented.

Light and gravity are certainly not paranormal. Quantum physics is not common sensical in a Newtonian way, but wave/particle duality is a well known theory. Gravity? Just a curvature of space-time we perceive as a force. The G spot? Well, like many things in physics, you maybe can't see it but you can certainly substantiate its existence through extensive experimentation.

If I think my ex has a demon, does that count?

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

One day I headed off to the airport for a commercial flight to a BASE jumping destination that my wife refers to as "the baby bridge" where we all learned to do our thing. "The baby bridge" with 480' of altitude and nice landing areas straight ahead does not command respect, especially following the previous weekend's 370' bridge with a couple seconds delay followed by a quick 180 degree turn over trees to land in an uneven rocky area.

For some reason I felt compelled to wear my Han Wag paragliding boots to the airport instead of shoes in spite of them being harder to get off in the security area.

Somewhat before landing I had an overwhelming feeling that the plane was going to crash and that I needed to re-tie and tighten my boots.

That NEVER happened before in 1500 skydiving flights, over a hundred landings as a student pilot (where strong cross-wind landings scared me as much as my first BASE jumps but didn't make me think I was going to crash; and with an instructor who couldn't get his ATP because of age I'd had unusually strong cross-winds on landing), and oodles of commercial flights including a dozen in the last few months.

I re-tied my boots tightly.

We landed, drove a few hours to the object, and jumped.

I managed to hit something immovable in weeds and break my tibia + fibula below the top of my boots.

I'm sure that wearing my beefy boots (I've jumped in running shoes, and wouldn't hesitate to use them for a soft landing area like that) and making sure they were tight prevented a compound fracture.

Five weeks later the guy I usually skydived with hitched a ride on the DZ plane going to a boogie and crashed on the return trip with no survivors.

Given that I wasn't unwinding enough and have a wife who encourages me to get out and have fun with my friends (she actually drove us to the exit point the week before my acident), I'm sure I'd have been on that plane if I wasn't on crutches at the time.

I've had premonitions which happened.

I believe in witchy women.

"Superstitious" is just a polite way of saying "incredibly fucking stupid".
DONK!

Got to say that I am a non believer. I do a lot of photography in abandoned buildings have been known to go for Arty shots in the occasional Graveyard. For me its just a state of mind. I tend to specialise in Night photography and in old asylums (not happy places), but have still to come across anything supernatural or scary. even when people around me are tending to freak out a bit !

We had a nice remembrance get together last week up at Fred's Tavern in Snohomish. It's been 2 years.

I take a shortcut from my summer cottage to a convenience store some nights by cutting through an old cemetery. I find it peaceful.

Sometimes when channel-hopping I watch a few minutes of those stupid TV shows where they film in black & white and show meters jumping, cold spots and shit like that. Just goes to show how really stupid and gullible the average person is.

Ok light and gravity is scientific proof how they are but the G spot would definitely be paranormal to men, LMAO!!

All I have to say, I did a survey for one of my papers about ghosts. I sent out 20 surveys to various people and the response I got back was crazy. 17 out of 20 believed. I was surprised at that response. I thought I would get at least maybe half. The people I thought did not believe from the remarks they have made about spirits or psychics made me think they were non-believers. The 3 that were not believers; 2 of them just had never had experiences to justify believing and one was because of her religous beliefs.

So my point is, even if one says they don't believe; they womewhere deep down hold a secret that has them wondering what really happened that one time or continuous times when they saw someone that really was not there.
