I think there are moments when we vibrate in the 4th or even 5th dimension and I believe it's happening more and more.
And perhaps it is at that moment, we catch a glimpse of what's been dubed, paranormal activities.
It is almost science-fact that our souls don't die. Something keeps keeping on (engery) after the body ceases to function.
So perhaps this 'soul-energy' is able to leave our 3rd dimensional world (that the body helped to confine) and it transgresses back to it's
original state that only can be seen/felt and acknowledge when in its higher vibrational field (which we; body-toting Humans aren't always privy to
experience).
I'm just sayin'................

Hi guys! Here’s another take on the classic psychological we see what we want to see idea.
Basically, a lot of people will claim the paranormal to be in our heads, which to be honest, most of it probably is. But I’m not 100% that every single piece of phenomena experienced is definitely NOT paranormal.
After all, isn’t the essential idea of ‘paranormal’ something outside of normal? Something that can’t be explained? And no matter what anyone says, I’m pretty sure there are things that can’t be explained these days.
Now, I’m not gonna go down the route of ‘I’ve seen things!’ even though I have, because that’s almost always attention-seeking behaviour and it makes people doubt what you say, I know that, I’ve read those types of thread and shook my head. So lets stick with the facts and do a couple of picture shows.
I’m staying away from orbs here… as orbs, even though I’ve seen some impressive ones in my investigative time, can be put down to anything, and they tend not to impress people at all. So we’re going for figures and faces.
(BIG URL files.abovetopsecret.com...)
This is a picture I took at a site renowned for its paranormal activity, I’ll post the link underneath too as I’m not sure how well this will come out. I’ve sent it to a lot of people, and a lot of people can see the ‘face’ in the window, looking out. Now, I’m gonna be perfectly honest with you all here; I didn’t notice this first time I looked at it. Well, I did, but I didn’t wanna jump to conclusions as I didn’t want to be later disappointed. All I can say is there was definitely no one in that window – it was about 9pm at night, and at least 2 other people were looking at the window when I took it, including me, and there was no one there.
What about now when I’ve wrote on it, pointing to the obvious features, does this make you see it clearer? Is this what you were seeing in the first place?
I’ve taken another picture, in daylight admittedly, and I didn’t line it up right either and it didn’t come out anywhere near the same as that one did.
(BIG URL files.abovetopsecret.com...)
So I’m not now claiming this is a ghost, because I don’t have a clue what it is. But all I’m saying is I can’t explain what it is.
Fair enough, this was at a paranormal site, and I was looking for activity – so that’s what I’m seeing. The guy I sent it too still hasn’t got back on me to verify it, so I’m probably never gonna know. And even then, can you trust these guys? If he says it’s a ghost, people are gonna go on his ghost tour. He’s then gonna make money… vicious circle really.
Now what about this photo?
(BIG URL files.abovetopsecret.com...)
What do you see in the door? If I tell you this is taken in a house renowned for it’s paranormal activity, can you see the face in the window? What does it make? How does it make you feel?
Now if I change my stance, and say, it isn’t taken in a house renowned for paranormal activity, and that it’s just a trick of the light, then what do you see? Do you just see a smudge of the flash in the window? A reflection?
What about this light anomaly?
I have absolutely no idea how this happened when I was taking the photograph. But if I said this was in an area known for its paranormal activity, would you see it differently to if it was in my back garden where nothing weird has ever happened?
I’m not gonna say right away what I think these photos are as I’d just like to see everyone’s opinions on what I’ve posted, see how you all think while looking at things in different ways. Tell me if you think it’s paranormal or not. Tell me what you believe when you look at it thinking it is something paranormal, vs thinking it’s just nothing. And then next time you look at a photo YOU think is paranormal apply that logic before you reach your conclusion.
Those who believe will always believe, those who don’t believe won’t ever believe. And we’ve gotta be careful of that. I see a lot of bashing on ATS – especially on the subject of people’s beliefs. You see way too many people who’ll believe everything put in front of them, and an equal amount of people who won’t believe anything – even if they see it with their own eyes.
I’m just trying to put across my point of view, and my point of view is this: I really don’t know.
There’s nothing wrong with being unsure, in fact it’s one of the best views we have – because if you don’t know, you can change your mind. You don’t have to admit you’re wrong, as you weren’t, and you then take in evidence much better to reach your conclusion. At the end of the day, we’re all in here to ‘Deny Ignorance’.
So yeah, that’s my little rant over. Hope you’ve enjoyed the thread and thanks for reading!

Well I think the only problem with this, Would be the classic argument used in so many abortion debates.
At what point does the soul enter the body? If we are nothing more than capsules for the soul, Then the soul has always been in existance, And must at some point enter it's shell.

Maybe the beings of the higher dimensions "insert" us almost like a virtual reality.
I'm beginning to understand these threads going on about life being a giant video game, or life being the matrix.

If this reality is a continious one, Why can't we remember the past ones? Unless you're trying to argue a "Being John Malkovich" sort of scenario. In which our "souls" are not exactly attached to this body, Only our conscious is. Meaning that there is literally something living inside us, That travels to another host once this one dies.
Which is kind of freaky to think about, And sort of depressing for me.

Nah, nah, I know exactly what you mean. I'm not trying to prove that they are, or aren't ghosts. I'm just trying to show how if you believe, you're always gonna - like you are!
Maybe certainty gets stronger with age? You never know. Maybe in 10 years time I won't be saying 'I don't know' anymore, I'll be saying "YES" or "NO"
It was just something I'd contemplated, so I started the thread!
thanks for the responses guys

Well personally I think that in alot of if not most paranormal cases, they are only cases not because of an actual unexplainable experience but because of the human influence that is involved.
So let’s say for example a person can walk through an open area such as a local wood that they walk through almost every day, but when that person hears about an incident that occurred there a while ago and as a result of that incident they have reason to believe that the location may now be haunted.
So because of this the story has now suddenly changed, walking through that particular area which was perfectly fine beforehand is now completely different.
But when you think about it, it really is different for absolutely no reason what so ever, it has nothing to do with their actually being a spirit or a ghost there but it's different because of the human influence that is and always will be present in those types of paranormal cases.
And that is why I try and remain skeptical when dealing with paranormal locations or hearing about paranormal stories because eliminating that factor as best as you can will only benefit you and help you make your own mind up about what is happening.
Although please don’t get me wrong I 100% believe in ghosts (and that is because of my own unexplained experiences) and I 100% believe in the fact that people do seem to experience something completely unexplainable every day.
But It’s just so important to remain skeptical and try and find out exactly what the incident was before just pinning it down to a paranormal experience and I believe this because of the reason I said above and also because most cases can be so easily explained but when it's happening to you if becomes so much more difficult.

The adage you're getting mixed up about is "WE ONLY SEE WHAT WE BELIEVE IS POSSIBLE". So, according to this adage, persons who are not able to
understand the higher dimensionality of the Cosmos, are thus not going to be disturbed by the higher dimensionality of the Cosmos. However, those who
do understand the higher dimensionality of the Cosmos, are thus more likely to experience the higher dimensionality of the Cosmos. Just because one is
not able to see and hear and touch the object or person, does not mean that others cannot see and hear and touch the object or person. Look long
enough and one might also be able to see and hear and touch the object or person, even though to begin with the object or person was invisible to your
perception of reality. In my comprehension of the Cosmos, I believe it to be the case that what we see as material reality, is not of our own
choosing, but rather is entirely in the Hand of God. One is at the Mercy of God. It is the Power of God that is deciding our destiny. Buddhists call
this the Law of Kharma. If you read the following book you will begin to understand the situation. "THE HOLOGRAPHIC UNIVERSE" by author MICHAEL
TALBOT published 1991 by Harper Collins. ISBN 0-586-09171-8.
If you fancy looking into these phenomenon to greater depth then you could begin by visiting my personal website at VAMPYRE. Also my journal page contains some of the best ghost video that are available. So hit this link too JOURNAL.

Just watch this vid:
www.youtube.com...
Real paranormal energy is not just "seeing something" -- it means becoming one with a substrate of reality which in turn creates light that bends spacetime.
So when this contact occurs it changes external reality as well since the "one" is the source for both internal and external reality -- the two are interactive, and holographic. There is no "one" seeing anything -- it's an eternal impersonal process of creation as energy. Yes this energy can be telekinetic, telepathy, ghosts -- it has to be channeled though to see ghosts, to be telekinetic, to have telepathy, etc. That's why poltergeists are with young people who have strong life force energy but also have strong subconscious energy that is projected and externalized -- it then gets channeled as spiritual energy, manifesting as ghosts, etc. Ghosts can feed off people who have weak minds but still have life force energy, etc.
