"Sceptic or Believer?"

I have had many strange occurances happen in my life that I can't explain. I'm currently into the paranormal programmes on TV. I go to websites with "evidence".

I can say that I am a believer, but most of my friends are skeptics and really don't care about the subject. So what does the world of SR think?

Things like Most Haunted or Scream Team never come across as finding anything, they jump at the sound of someone knocking over a chair in the other room and then all go 'Wow i feel a presence, there is a sad feeling'.

Even better when they hear something then all get on their walkie talkies to check where each other are and this is meant to convince the viewer thatthey did'thave someone making the sounds in another room.

Chances are most of the people that watch it all the time do really believe that because they have heard someone saying 'no i'm not in that room' that they really wernt.

If ghosts are invisible, then the whole world must be packed with em.

Especially the women's changing rooms.

Ghosts spark a lot of interest, so its only natrual to blame unexplainable stuff on a ghost. I'm a believer, but not purely based on things like Most Haunted or Scream Team. There is a lot going on behind the cameras that can explain things...

Some people take ghosts far too seriously. I mean, they blame everything on ghosts. If they don't like something, it's a ghost.

Ghosts that can't touch you are fine. If a ghost can move a cup, then you'd better hope they're not going to bug you about it.

Yeah. "The camera batterys gone dead, it must be paranormal".

Too many people have had ad things happen to em'. I wonder if my sisters friend is still followed around by the spiritof that man

I believe in ghosts, but those photos and all those stupid cable TV ghost hunting programmes are a big fat crock of sh*te.

I wouldn't go anywhere near a Ouija board though.

I heard it's cos they contact a higher power of spirit. So if they can move a glass, what else can they do? I think that's the reasoning, and personally I wouldn't stay in a house where I knew one was used.

Derek Acorah is a fake. I used to think most haunted was tapping into something until that live summer show, where the crew where throwing things round and acting when they realised nothing was happening. Why is that evette fielding even on the show, everytime a floor board creeks she flips

I wanna be a paranormalist/ghosthunter/ghostbuster now. I'm almost sure they exist in some shape or form... feel free to laugh.

I can explain this photo:

The Sun!

For crying out...ugh...I suppose you think Ghostbusters is a documentary? And Derek Acorah isn't a con artist?
