Hmmmmm! This sounds a very dodgy request to me. Asking for stories tends to unlock sections of the mind which would normally be very private. Either that or fevered imaginations begin working overtime. It all depends how gullible one might be.

So tell me ,what is the point of these forums if you don't hear what people have to say. I was under the impression we all have stories to tell and share. Is this not so..............

Nothing wrong with Forums at all. Asking for stories about paranormal goings on is asking for imaginations to work overtime. There are numerous ghost stories out there but very few which have any substance, or credence, to them. My old school used to have ghost, according to our History Master. He used to tell a long drawn out story about being on the top floor of the school near the Scout Room and footsteps coming up behind him. All this embellished with various moans and groans. The finale was the ghost getting hold of his foot and trying to pull him towards an outside window. He said he shouted for the ghost to stop pulling his leg - this being exactly what he had done to his audience.

Kids of 11 to 14 can be very gullible.

Exactly my point. Spirits can not only be uplifting, they can also be mind numbing. I think I'll become a "Ghost Writer".

look outside of the box, if you want answers then don't answer your own questions but see what is in front of you............. the answers are inside you and infront of you, all you have to do is look............outside of the box

a non believer i assume the substance and credence is there if you looked for it, you have the type of personality where this is unlikely to happen, not meant in a bad way by the way

it is a bit like a child who has an imaginary friend, it is real to him so it is real! a nightmare, it is real to you at the time so it is real..................why do so many people want to have some kind of money back guarany on everything

I have seen and felt the other side all of my life since being little, what I have to tell is not STORIES they are what has happened but I don't need anyone to listen or believe in what I say for what has happened to me has been between me and the people from the other side

they are not a freak show and we all will be one of them one day

As the Australians say

'Got me knackered'

All I can say is that is if Schrödinger's cat could look outside the box would the outcome be prejurdiced in the same was as it is by an observer looking in?

We must not outrun our own headlights in this process enabling us to seemlessly carry all our stateholders along with us.

Sorry for the I just hate buzzwords and phrases

I'm sceptical. I don't rule it out but until it happens to me or someone else can prove it I remain sceptical.

I have an open mind and would take each situation as it happens and then make a decision on if I believed or disbelieved it at the time.

I did have a moment I can't explain. It was just after my granny died. I was 14 and awake in bed. There was nobody in the room but me but someone stroked my forehead and I had an overwhelming feeling of not being scared at the time. I was and still am convinced it was my granny saying goodbye.
