who like to read about the paranormal
ghost
big foot
ufos
aliens
whats your opinion on this subject
Are vampires and werewolves included?
Do you mean paranormal as in myths and legends and such, or as in cryptography?
I find it mildly interesting, but I don't care all that much unless definitive evidence of something is actually found.
I used to in a house that also had two ghosts livingi in it. Cool, right?
What were their names? Were they friendly?
Names, no idea...They weren't very social. Friendly? Eh, kinda sorta....That dang cat/dog very nearly made me fall once!
I am bigfoot.
Mm-hmm. And I'm the Easter Bunny with an Aussie accent.
Sweet! We could get together and have a party!
Seriously though, if you saw the size of my feet, you would say I am bigfoot.
Hi, bigfoot.
Hi Rus.

Waitwaitwait... What? Were they just rumored to live there, or did you actually see something?
(By the way, I don't believe in ghosts or anything, but I like to read books listing hauntings and so forth just for fun.)
I just read them for fun to I don't believe in it .

I saw them. Plus how do you explain bleach running red on one portion of the roof, and clear elsewhere? The lady killed herself on that spot on the roof. Glasses would tip or break when we were barely touching them. Coffee pots randomly shattered. That sort of stuff.
Uhhhh... Lots of ways, probably? Varying concentrations of metals in the roof, tremors or gusts of wind... Reverberation from walking and such causing slight tremors...
Or the secret evil underground disco cultists causing tremors with their loud music.
Or ghosts. That might be, too. Can't scientifically disprove paranormal phenomena, even if it could be explained other ways.
I saw them. You wanna deny that? My family saw them, too. Every. Single. One. Oh, and since my dad's a Vietnam Vet, perhaps you'd like to take the matter up with him?
Our senses are pretty good. Usually accurate. However, they are capable of innaccuracy, as is our interpretation of them.
I won't rule out ghosts as a possibility, as it is not possible to do so. However, I don't believe anything supernatural to be the only possible cause of such a happening
I am not superstitious. If you are, I respect that. I without a doubt find legends and such intriguing, though my preference is mythology rather than modern legend. To each their own.
I'm not superstitious...But, whatever. Ferrety hormones....

...Um, why was there bleach on the roof to begin with?
Cleaning it, I guess? I dunno. It seems to me like there'd be a better roof-cleaning liquid, but I know literally nothing about cleaning rooves, so I'm probably wrong.
Ferrety hormones... What...?

We had to bleach the roof because moss liked to grow on it. Although we hated doing it.
Oh, okay.
Although I hated that spiral staircase ore.
Me and my dad have an interesting theory on Bigfoot, though some people would not really understand, appreciate, or take it as a possibility because of beliefs.
Ghosts are the souls of the dead: I believe they exist as I have nothing to disprove it.
Aliens/UFOs: I can neither deny their existence nor say they truly exist, though I can say there would be definite limitations to what they would look like if they are the ones who do space travel and find us. First: they would need a brain to compute the complex problems space provides; this would also require a way to protect the brain: a skull. Second, they would need fingers AND opposable thumbs to work with and design tools, vehicles, etc. Two or more legs would be needed to stably support the body that holds the head, and hands (probably attached to arms). They would be more or less human looking.
My opinion on aliens is that if there is so much space out there, they most likely exist somewhere. It doesn't make logical sense to me that Earth would be the only planet to have life- Especially with planets trading meteors every so often- Huge timescale, but fairly often on that scale. Of course, I have no idea what aliens would be like, but if they have any of our DNA (As a result of trading meteors) then they very well might be somewhat like us- Although otherwise, I'd doubt it, it's unlikely that they'd evolve even remotely similarly to us. They would probably require some kind of thought processing system, akin to our brains- and some means to operate their machinery- But I think assuming anything is the case about a hypothetical being is a mistake.
Am I the only one that realizes aliens don't have to be intelligent? There might be some that have only just evolved which are the equivalent of cavemen. I strongly believe in aliens, I don't know that we'll ever meet them or even glimpse them but there are too many planets out there for them not to exist.
On the topic of the paranormal: I do not believe in things like cryptology or ghosts unless there is solid proof. I believe scientists recently found reason to believe that yeti exist, if this is true I would very much like to meet one (unless they're violent savages that is)
Oh, you're absolutely not. My comment was written under the assumption that they were; there's far likely to be hundreds/thousands/millions/billions of planets that have microscopic life on them.
Really? That's intriguing. Do you have a link to an article?
It was a TV documentary, I didn't watch it but my parents did

It is entirely possible that humans find them before they find us, yes, but what I was saying was provided they DID find us first.
Okay, I'm leaving now . . . L

Thing is, when a person dies, their soul doesn't lurk around - it goes to either heaven or hell.
You can't state that as fact. You could put "Thing is, I believe when a person dies, their soul doesn't lurk around - it goes to either heaven or hell" you can't state religious beliefs as fact, we don't even know for certain that there is such thing as a soul though most belief systems have had them
I was speaking to Skarzs, who's a fellow Bible-believer.
Ah, fair enough

Or Purgatory. Also, God can allow a spirit to walk the earth as a punishment or to as a plead for prayers.
Some people's souls are unlucky enough to accidentally get stuck here.
what did the ghost feel like ?
Explain, please.
like someone else is in the room when your by yourself.
Well, I'm a bit more sensitive to g h oats than others, but sometimes my instincts would tell me to run, and sometimes, she was friendly. It depended on her mood.

I don't actually believe in Purgatory because I don't find anything about it in the Bible. And as to God allowing a soul to walk the earth, I don't see anything in the Bible to indicate that He does that either. Where did you find it?
Does it have to say everything about what God does in the Bible? I like to think if he's all powerful and all knowing then he wouldn't stick to a set of rules
Mod: The conversation here was getting a little more serious than is expected of a topic in The Cellars, so I moved it for y'all. Remember to stay calm in this discussion.

Jett@: I might contest your thought that God wouldn't stick to any rules, but that's beside the point. The idea isn't so much that God has done those and only those things which are specifically mentioned in the Bible, but rather that something outside of what Christians know from Scripture is unverified. Thus, it's very reasonable for Jukka to deny the existence of a place such as purgatory in the spiritual world if she finds no evidence of it in the Bible, in the same manner as how a zoologist might deny the existence of Bigfoot in the physical world.
