If You Saw A Spirit....

I'd be like, sh** it's Halloween already?

My first priority would be to determine if this event was actually happening, or if it was a severly delayed effeect of being dropped as a child. If it turned out that I was stone cold bonkers, I would keep my mouth shut and force myself back to reality.

If it turned out that the apperation was real, I would try to parlay with the entety if possible to try and work out a beneficial arraignment.

Yeah, but how would you determine if it is real or not? If you can't trust your eyes or your mind, then what can you trust?

Maybe ask other people? I know the fact that 1000 or 100000 or even a million people seeing something doesn't prove it's existence, but it would certainly help.

It is a good question: What is reality?

I mean, can we ever be sure that our brains are properly functioning and faithfully conveying information about the world around us?

Do I need external confirmation for my perception of the word?

• I know that I can hear high-pitched sounds that most other folks can't (I can hear a muted TV from across the house).

• I can often smell things others don't and am later vindicated by finding the offending object, though sometimes I think it is just an olfactory hallucination.

• I don't think I would trust it anyway ... I could have just hallucinated an imaginary friend who observes the phenomena, too.

And what is reality, anyway, in a scientific sense?

Quantum Mechanics (physics) says that stuff can exist but not have the property of location until you look at it. What kind of reality is that? Sounds like Alice in Wonderland but it is the foundation for the computers we're using to communicate right now.

Hmmm ... something to think about ... but not too much because it can make your head hurt and make you doubt yourself.

I have.I ignore it.

I think there is something in this, I'd say if they are 'real' then they would know if you could handle it or not and not alert you to their presence if you couldn't.
I was at my friends house one evening, an old house she'd only been in for awhile. We were in her room and we'd had an argument but nothing serious and we kinda hung out with not saying much, the light was out and it was quite dark. We both sensed this energy, it was like a huge magnet in the room. Then I had these uncontrollable thoughts that I had to get out of the house that I had to leave asap. My friend didn't want me too but understood, so I left.
Not long after I left my friend felt someone sit on the bed, she thought it was me but when she rolled over no one was there. I could understand how that last part could of been sleep related but.... the feelings I felt in the room were really something else.

I feel that one day I'll be fearless enough to be able to handle a ghost/spirit and I look forward to it. I don't know what could come of it though. I know my mum has had experiences, I think she suggested they wanted help with something, but she didn't want to deal with it and more or less told them to leave her alone.
I have a friend who used to be a paranormal investigator. He more or less invited and asked for them to be a part of his life.. and they did, but a lot of them were nasty. He found a lot of the stuff in his bedroom would go missing. And this one time he went out one night and later that night his mum saw walk past the lounge room tot eh front door and heard him say he was going out hours after he already had. When she told him the next morning he said he'd left hours before and that it wasn't him.
He has some interesting photos/videos of orbs and mists, he was even on TV for a doco with footage that was shot at my old house eek. That house was creepy/weird though, someone had been murdered in it a few years before I was there, but I didn't know that until after I moved out thankfully.
If or when I see one I would be it's friend and talk to it...ala sixth sense. I wouldn't tell anyone because I believe it would be personal.
In the words of lou barlow "crazy people are right". :P

Creepy story/ies.

I've not seen anything, but I've FELT presences MANY times. Suddenly, just like that out of the blue and I didn't like it at all, either.

Run away, run away, has always been my motto.

You're paranormal friend "invited" them to become a part of his life??? yikes!
I think he's crazy!!
Those photo's of orbs and mists reminds me of the movie (based on the true story) called The ENTITY.
If you haven't seen it yet and want to shit yourself -- watch it.

I was scarred by horror movies at a young age, just the thought freaks me. I hope I don't have to get over my fear of horror movies to 'advance' in my life. Can't I just pretend they don't exist? lol!

If I just saw something, I would be unlikely to respond, and probably put it out of my mind. But if it communicated in some way, I'd pay attention. Cause even if it IS the product of a disturbed mind, I'd wonder what my disturbed mind was trying to tell me.
