I have watched alot of the shows on television about hauntings and the people who come and get them to go to the light. Who believes that ghosts exist.
I do believe in the supernatural and the paranormal... I've experienced and witnessed things in my life that make the hair on my neck stand up just to remember them. Ghosts as well as other... entities... do exist.
If I told of some of the things I've seen and felt, many would literally brand me as a schizophrenic... some of my experiences in life have been way too far out for any rational person to view as credible.
I can give you a harmless little snippet though that wouldn't make me too see too much off the deep end maybe. There was a period I lived in Buffalo, and there was a street I used to travel frequently that ran between two old cemeteries on each side of the road... Once when driving through (in broad daylight), something ahead caught my eye and as I got closer to it and realized what I was seeing, my jaw pretty much fell into my lap. It was an apparition, a true and genuine ghost... It was a man walking across the street from right to left in front of me. He was tall, slender, shadowy and with distinctive dark lines in his form. Although his trip across the street transpired at a slow, normal pace... his form was that of someone at a full running pace. It was very, very interesting to witness that.
It is said that 90% of the people on earth will have or have had a supernatural experience, but less the 45% will admit it.
I grew up in a farm house from the early 1800's. Coolest place I ever lived. The story says that a family was brutely murdered in their own barn, and one of the farm hands hung himself in the silo.
I can't say if it was true or not but the supernatural activity in the house and the barn was terrifying when I was younger, but really really really cool when I got older.
The buildings are gone now, but local teens go out to the land{still undeveloped all these years later} there at night to be frightened.
I worked at a nursing home and many residents said they saw men and women in their rooms watching them. One night when I was doing the night shift I heard what sounded like a person pushing a walker down the hall, I went to see who was there and the hall was empty.

I have pretty much the only independant photographed and witness poltergeist story that exsists in my family history....and i think there's a "sensative" streak going through my mothers side of the family.
I've seen some odd things too, and frankly some of the thinks ive been through and seen makes you think something very odd is going on.
Actually, i think someone is having a giant laugh at my expense
Ive seen a few things but you wont get me posting them!!
Well one time I was by the river and it was low tide, I starting to get a feeling, it was a good feeling and my brain just kept saying walk on the mud and stop and dig, you will find two gun's. This is true, I walked on the mud and stopped after a few feet dug a hole in the mud and found two hand guns taped together,I had a feeling that someone was now free.
I have issues with the words "supernatural" and "paranormal"...
We know very little about what the natural or normal world actually consists of. Just because we don't understand something doesn't mean it doesn't have normal or natural reasons to occur. I've experienced lots of things I couldn't explain...but it doesn't mean there isn't an explanation...I'm just too small to understand...
"There are more things on heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio."-William Shakespeare, Hamlet...
I go by " Just because we cant prove it exists doesn't mean it doesnt" to things i cant figure out about.
But true as it can be.... life in itself is too difficult to understand...... to possibly figure out entirely the supernatural and paranormal...is going to be a feat by itself...
I swear, when I clicked on this thread and saw the word television, I thought the thread was actually about the TV show.
I have had two separate occurrences in my life that would've convinced me, if I had been a skeptic to begin with. On two separate occasions, a few years apart, I had, what I can only describe as, a freaky precognitive experience. For a few hours, both times, I knew exactly what was going to happen or come out of someone's mouth, approximately 3 seconds before it occurred. This wasn't random dejavu. This was a 4-5 hours of just sitting and observing things happening an instant after I knew they were going to happen. It was extremely cool.
And no, there were no controlled substances in play either time.
