Weird Sightings

Not what i was talking about, but similar...

Third, explanations grounded in knowledge about human physiology will be proffered. For instance, the appearance of ghosts is often associated with a chilling sensation and pale, semitransparent figures. But a natural animal response to fear is hair-raising which can be mistaken for chill. The visual aspects of ghost reports could also be accounted for by human physiology: the peripheral vision is very sensitive in detecting motion, but does not contain much color or provide focused shapes; therefore, a moving curtain or other movement outside the focused view can create a strong illusion of an eerie figure. The natural occurrence of infrasound, which are sounds below human auditory frequencies (below 20 hertz), could possibly explain the notions of feeling a 'presence' in the room, or unexplained feelings of anxiety or dread, as certain infrasonic frequencies are known to have these effects on the body. The frequency of 18hz is known to cause the human eye to vibrate, which can make pale forms appear in the peripheral vision

I also just read all 17 pages of this thread and for some reason I believed you up until your girlfriend seeing the same man on the bridge as you were going to the casino (page 16 I believe).

But to be honest with you, if you are still seeing this thing, I will send you my old digital camera so you can snap some pics of your room or the driveway.

I wish I had a digital cameral...
...*HINT HINT*...
Lol, Just kidding

Do you have any ghost in grey wal-mart sweaters and dirty jeans that stalk you every hour of the day?

Actually yes... only I wouldn't call him a ghost, and he has a camera...
...come to think of it, maybe i should get a restraining order...

Ok people lets get a little sense. There are very few people who experience paranormal sightings. And of the few people that do experience them do u actually think they would know of this website? or go to this website for help? NO they wouldnt they wouldnt take suggestions from ordinary people. They would get expert advice. Most of these stories are nothing more than interesting stories. You people can not believe everything on the net.

Very good point. You have to consider the population that comes to Above Top Secret just does not represent society. We believe or are interested in concepts that others just simply do not care about.

I would much rather believe a person that has just signed up to ATS because they wanted to share some pics, or a story, than a person that has been on here for months commenting on threads.

I think everyone that sacrificed their time trying to help Bobbo would really like to know what happened to that ghost in his bedroom. If it is a hoax, they at least deserve an apology.

tall, white male, no distinguishing facial features, besides a goatee. hair is short, brown, and thin. the eyes are kind of weird- like a grayish color, and they are scary. clothing-wise, jeans and a gray sweatshirt.

Whoa, you just described me. Maybe *I'm* the one who's been haunting you. OoooOOOoo. But anyways, it was a good read. I hope he didn't kill you or something. Come back and tell us what happened!

Yes, considering I sent a u2u a few weeks back and his activity was reported last 31/10/04 at least Bobbo could settle this thread once and for all if it's fake (I'm leaning very close to that conclusion).

If it was, it still made a very interesting read, and that's why we all come here, correct? If it were for proof, I would rather go to a scientific website which has recognised results with controls, placebos, all that kind of stuff.

I have already been tricked today with one of the posts on ATS (it got me, congratz) so I know how easy it would be to trick many intelligent people (or gullible). Anyways, I always enjoy a good read like this but if it were based on real events it would make it THAT much more interesting (anyone can make up crap about ghosts, aliens, whatnot).

think what you want, I couldn't give a hoot.

I spend my time doing my productive things here on ATS- DISC, for one.

So if there was something new to post, i'd post it.

otherwise, quit speculating, admit that the mass population can't accept something unless they see it for themselves, and go back to your business.

and even if it were a hoax- which i assure you, it is not, and ask anyone on the board that has dealt with me- mods, fellow DISCers, etc, and they'll tell you that i've never dealt them a line of crap at any time.

and for anyone that hasn't bothered to read my blog, I've got many things going on that are more important than keeping you updated on this- unlike the majority of the people that have things to say here- and i'm really directing this at a few select members- i lead a productive life outside of ATS.

so if there were something new to report, trust me, i'd post it damn quick. but theres not.

maybe there are millions of these things that just watch and record each individuals history
which i guess would be a nuetral thing related to neither heaven or hell

Considering I haven't experienced anything even remotely similar to what this thread is about, if this happened to me personally, it would most definately be the defining aspect of my life. What would be more important than this so called 'being'? Right, you've convinced me to peruse your blog.

I like your defensive stance on this subject. If it were real I would of reacted in the same way. Still doesn't convince me, nor will anything you will say but everyday I'm tending towards the skeptic side of things. Next thing you know I'll be proclaiming the earth is flat and whatnot lol.

Anyway, if this is real or not, I congratulate you Bobbo on such an interesting read. Good luck with whatever things are more important *off to skim your blog*

Bobbo, so what is the status on the ghost? Can you at least take a picture of it now? Has the check cleared yet?

yea, let me run out and buy a camera.

right after I finish paying my car off, and then finish paying my loans for school.

since theres nothing new with this, i think it's obvious a camera isn't top priority.

I'll send you a camera if the ghost is still there. Is it? What has happened since the last time you reported seeing it?

What is your local area like?
Is there an airport route or new construction sites in your area?
Have you had any (recent) construction to your house?
Are you high or low latitude?
Is their a radio station close by?
And finally, Are you the first owner of the house?

(this IS a revelent post, why i ask will be explained once i am relpied.)

I haven't read any posts in this thread since my last post prior to october 30th or 31st, so i just saw these questions when i went back to look.

I live in the city, neighbors on either side of my house. I have a pool, a large yard, and a big garage. we are NOT the first owners of the house.

There is new construction in the city, but not in my neighborhood- its several miles away. We have a defunct airport in my city, and the buffalo-niagara international airport is about 15-20 miles away.

we have had recent construction in the house, but it occurred after the sightings intitially started.

not sure of the altitude, and there isn't a radio station around.

I haven't had any type of sighting for several months now.

I've always been a very empathetic person, very in touch with my spirituality, although i'm not a very religous person. Of the "experts" i've talked to regarding this situation- namely a psychic, who seemed to think this may have had something to do with it. when i met her, i instantly new something was wrong- before she said a word. by the end of our session, i had found out her and her husband were arguing, etc, etc, and she was amazed i sensed it right off the bat.

I can't honestly say whether this "thing" still shows up- if it does, it doesnt do it while i'm looking.

also, I did set up a tape recorder back some time ago when i still saw this thing, but i had it analyzed by a college professor who has an interest in EVPs, and he tore it apart for a few weeks and didnt hear anything at all.

I'm attempting to go back a few pages and answer any questions that i havent answered yet.

Over the past few months, just to back up my own thoughts, I decided to have a psychiatric evaluation, just to make sure I wasn't borderline schizophrenic, or bi polar, or anything like that.

I do have mild to severe depression at times, but have no signs or symptoms of schizophrenia, or anything else.

So I'm posting to dispel any thoughts that mental illness has anything to do with this.

I have had no further sightings in quite some time, but were anything else to happen, I'll be sure to post.
