[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Has a ghost ever killed anyone? (Page 1 of 2)

| Certainly not on TV but if you actually believe in them, has there ever been a case where one killed a live person? |
I could make up something lame and use that exact same tactic on you. YEAH MAN THE OTHER DAY, I SAW A REAL TRANSFORMER. HE WENT INSIDE OF A GROCERY STORE AND HE STEPPED ON AN OLD LADY AND KILLED HER INSTANTLY. THE NEWS DIDN'T REPORT IT IN FEAR OF THEIR LIFE. BUT NO ONE WILL BELIEVE ME UNTIL THEY SEE IT. Christ, this is how Al Gore fools you idiots.

Was it First Coast News cause they wouldn't run the story on my Dad getting killed on your shitty roads either 
|
| They've caught them on film in Ghost Hunters under scientifically controlled conditions, in areas that it was determined to have no human beings. The St Augustine Lighthouse investigation clearly shows something looking over the railing. There was nowhere a person could have hidden and played a practical joke. They go into these places with the predisposition of explaining everything according to natural causes, but occasionally they run into things they cannot explain. Of course, no amount of evidence would satisfy some, as they have taken a definitively unscientific bias against any evidence contrary to their world view. |
|
 Yeah, there's 'evidence' out there of the existence of ghosts. Has the Toothfairy been proven? I found a quarter under my pillow on more than one occasion! That's some pretty compelling 'evidence'. |
You ate those MUSHROOMS didn't you 
|
My, that was an intelligent reply. |
More than the post I replied to. ETA: You're talking about the Easter Bunny and the Toothfairy. Get a fucking grip on yourself; it's for children. How 'intelligent' a reply do you think this kind of juvenile nonsense deserves? Smurfs. The Smurfs take your carkeys int he night and hide them in the couch. WTF? |
|
OK, even if we were to assume that ghosts do indeed exist, how do you think anyone here would be able to answer that question? I don't think we're likely to see a newspaper story titled "Man dies after being pushed down stairs by ghost". Maybe you could search the internet. If you find a good link to a story about a ghost murdering a live person, post it up for us. |
I'm sorry to hear that, man. The news doesn't care about our loved ones, they care about getting viewers. If a ghost killed someone, you can bet your ass those attention whores would have reported it. They have no problem reporting in the battlefield with no firearm, I can't see why they'd be afraid of ghosts. |
Alright, tell me, what can a ghost do? Fly? Float through walls? What is a ghost able to do in the physical world? What are they made of? Are they bound by the laws of nature? |
So what you're suggesting is... Ghosts are superheroes? |
What I'm getting at is, all these "ghost detectives" you see on TV are always being real dramatic and scared about where they are. I'm thinking, if there is no case of a "ghost" killing a person, then anyone could spend a night in any place where a "ghost" may be (if they exist) with no more fear of anything than being pushed or shoved. So big hairy deal. |
only known case that I've heard of . www.bellwitch.org/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Witch I've been wanting to visit the place but my wife is terrified of the bell witch . she won't even let you mention her name in front of her. lots of weirder stuff has happened. |
They have filmed them opening doors - one door had a mattress leaning against it. Access was controlled, the door was a door to a closet. They have many films of objects moving by themselves in controlled locations. The easy way out is to assume its all faked, because it doesn't disturb your world view. In reality, its just a belief rather than a rational position, which is what they accuse people who believe in ghosts of having. |
|
When someone gets actual proof showing that ghosts exist, we will hear about it after they get their million dollar check from Randi. Until then, or similar rigorous proofing, they're nothing but campfire stories. |
We need an AR15.com haunted house sleep over. Can you just imagine how many guns will go off during the night....
|
Well, that does it for me...must be ghosts. No, just kidding...it was the Toothfairy. |
Not really an answer to the question. Are they bound by the laws of physics? What are they made of? Why can't we see them? |
How do we truly know that our reality is the only reality? Have you ever been in a room alone and damned well saw somebody out of the corner of your eye but nobody is there? My Dad came to me about 10 days after he was killed, wierd experience for me because following it I was completely at peace with the event. Just a dream? How about the four other people who had their own dreams on the same night, all different experiences but to a person they wrote down the exact same clothing description and physical actions.
|
How do we truly know that it isn't reality? You realize that we don't even know the full potential of the human brain yet, right. The chemistry that makes your brain run is so complex, that we will never understand the cause of non-induced hallucinations. |
I'm game , I'll even sleep next to the cave. |
I've spent the night in this building 3 times. Bonhanan Cabin And I've never seen or heard anything. A couple of my reenactor buddies said they did however. www.militaryghosts.com/washita.html |
| I have never experienced one, but I believe the rational approach is to consider the possibility that they may exist. There are many people, some quite reputable, who have experienced them. You can't say the same regarding the Tooth Fairy. That's the Straw Man logical fallacy. |
