However I know from the past that I’m prone to hearing demented music in my mind to accompany distinct stress symphonies in my life. The music I almost am certain is parr of my rather FUCKED brain chemistry defenses. 

But that slam was unmistakable. Sometimes you just know when you catch some dominant residual energy. I’m glad I won’t be cleaning there again for awhile. Next time I’ll take what D and my buddy say a little more seriously I guess.

That’s a pretty wild fuckin story. I’ve always personally taken the notion of ghosts or spirits to be fictitious. It’s not that I feel people are lying or that it’s completely ludicrous. I just personally have never seen any paranormal activity at all and I like to see to believe. I also don’t believe in an afterlife really so I find it hard to believe in a spiritual manifestation. 

 

With that being said I imagine that would be a scary ordeal. That would definitely be an eye opener for me. Like if there are ghosts how do they come to be. Is it the leftover essence of a passed human? Would there be animal ghosts? I’m definitely not 100% sure that there is no heaven or hell, but I choose to live my life thinking it’s less likely to be true than not. If there was though, why would someone be stuck on this material plain?

I feel you here. I don’t believe in the “traditional” interpretation of ghosts either. . I have some other much longer and more disturbing stories that are baffling, including seeing two apparently dead apparitions simultaneously with my wife in NC. But I’ve already yapped those tales out lol.. read the og Paranormal thread on here for those…

I read a supposed factual book for young adults called “Phantom Animals” years ago about ghost animal experiences. More than just ghost dog n cat, there’s stories of a murderous dog-slaying gh9st kangaroo and a talking ghost mongoose living in a dudes attic lol… farfetched indeed! But entertaining. 

My mother in law is a retired teacher, now she dabbles in being a pet psychic. Honestly I think she’s fucking lost it hahahaha but people go for it. She isn’t a snakeoil salesman either; she truly believes she has trained herself to talk to animals, living and dead. Its uncomfortable for me to be around, as I just want to scream CAN YOU HEAR THAT GHOST COW DROPPIBG YOU THAT STREAM OF BULLSHIT??! But I’m a polite fella.

I am a firm believer in the Infrasound explanations of paranormal. There is absolute scientific evidence to the effects and the causes as opposed to the speculatory nature of the “science” of ghost hunting. For more info, if you are so inclined, (It will remove some of that childhood magic and mystery you may have) google Coventry University lecturer Vic Tandy. He has done a lot of research in this. Places where people feel or see ghosts have been narrowed down to a root cause of Infrasound at around the 18 hz range (just below audible levels) and removing or fixing the source, like oiling a ventilation fan, or applying sound suppression to machinery that causes this “sound” instantly seems to “make the ghosts go away”. Artificially producing infrasound, he would make people see or feel ghosts. It’s really all in the mind. It’s an evolutionary survival trick. Tigers, earthquakes, volcanos, and some other things that caused harm to people produce this low range sound. Evolutionary wise, those who responded with para-sympathetic actions were more likely to survive and therefor more likely to pass on their genes.

Excellent information, holmes.

And Scruff, as much as I don’t care for the woman, I’ve decided just t9 humor her and let her have this little distraction. If people want to believe her that their pet tortoise named Rutabega still loves them despite being molested to death by the owner, then more power to her. She is loony all around. She just converted from general christian to baptist a year ago, which is to me like deciding to not just leap off the deep end but to mash potato down the plank and then cannonball off into the void of lunacy.
