General Chat

It's creepy stuff guys, but I'm pleased that I read them all. I have only 'sensed' things a few times, and they're abit scarey. My uncle was terminally ill and the day he died, I knew in the morning that it was going to happen that day. Yet, my father died suddenly and I had no idea till my mother rang me. I would love for my father to visit me.

My father was a staid man, a schoolmaster who never wasted words and could not be bothered to exagerate. He confided to me, in his later years, an experience he had had in the trenches in 1917. He had been on leave for a few days, behind the lines and, when he returned to his sector, as he was about to rejoin his unit in a dug-out he met a soldier from his platoon and they had a brief chat. When he got with the rest of lads, he remarked that he had met old so and so outside. There was a silence then some one told him that the man had been killed some days earlier. Len

I, too, am sceptical, and believe that many sightings could be rationally explained, either as optical illusions, hysteria, or hoaxes. However, it is not only women who can "sense" things. I have had "feelings" about places several times (twice on ships); though not having directly seen a ghost, I have seen inexplicable reflections and shadows, as well as unusual happenings, such as lights dimming, or turning off and on, and icy cold rooms that cannot be heated. Keep your mind open - as Shakespeare said, "...there are more things on heaven and earth... ...than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Yep my Husband Sunday morning after Saturday night - the ultimate phantom if every I saw one. Lin

HI EVERY ONE HAVE NEVER SEEN A GHOST, BUT MY SON AND MYSELF HAVE SEEN A BLACK SHADOW A FEW TIMES. STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. MY SON WAS IN THE BATHROOM WITH BACK TO SHOWER WHEN IT SUDDENLY TURNED ITS SELF ON HE IS SEVENTEEN AND WAS STILL TERRIFIED. THINGS DISAPPEAR AND REAPPEAR DAYS OR WEEKS LATER IN PLACES WE HAVE ALREADY SEARCHED. MY SONS, MY OWN AND BOYFRIENDS RINGS WERE FOUND TWISTED ALL IN EXACLY THE SAME SHAPE DONT NO WHAT THIS MEANS. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR AGES NOW I DONT LET IT BOTHER ME.

Yes - several times - but I prefer to think of them as 'spirits' rather than ghosts. Sometimes they appear 'solid' - just as if they were alive, and I don't always realise straight away that they aren't normal, living, breathing people/animals. Sometimes, they are 'transparent' and sort of fade in and out, and sometimes I don't see them with my eyes, but see them in my head! That sounds really w-e-i-r-d ...... but it's the only way I can explain it! Regarding the missing items mysteriously turning up - that is a regular occurrence in this house! I lost my reading glasses last week. I checked everywhere, all over the house, to no avail. In the end, in desperation, I said, out loud, "OK, if you've got my glasses, please give them back, now. I need them!" I went to the bathroom, and when I came out, I almost trod on my glasses, which were placed, neatly folded on the carpet immediately outside the bathroom door! I had been in and out of the bathroom all day, and would have either seen them or trodden on them if they had been there previously! Needless to say, I said a very loud "Thank you"!

If a man believe that nothing is known, he does not know whether this even can be can be known, since he admits that he knows nothing. I decline therefore to argue against one who puts his head where his feet ought to be. Yet even were I to grant that he knows this. I would ask him, since he has never yet seen any truth in things, whence does he know what either knowing or not knowing are? What has produced the concept of the true and of the false? and what has proved the doubtful to differ from the certain? R.C.Trevelyan
