not being religious myself.......more......agnostic

i went to these so called physicists..just cause i was bored......a few of the family went too

but i am still on the fence

just throwing this out there;-)

[mandymoosie]

I'm sat firmly on the fence with you Tara 🙂

I neither believe, nor disbelieve and I try to keep an open mind on it all :-x

[peteryola]

I think you mean psychics don't you?

Anyway.... as for me.... definitely saw a ghost once in autumn 1978; only found out some years later on that I wasn't the first to have seen the same apparition in the same location; a virtually identical sighting had been reported several years earlier...!!

[ilove2patch]

I am an atheist. I believe there is a lot out there we don't understand. I have lived in a house with some sort of mischievous spirits in it. I also believe some mediums are for real but the majority are not. I had an experience the night after my husband died that really shook me....literally.

A few times in my life I have experienced a 'breeze' wafting over me and a presence - no wind and no-one there, and always in times of trouble - who/what is that?  Doesn't frighten me.

Maggie yhm in a min - go on, guess what it's for, lol 😛

[wizilizi]

I maintain an open mind & figure that, since most people are kind, so any presence is likely to be benevolent

I feel at home in old buildings & I like to think that it is the cumulation of so many lives lived bringing comfort

Whatever gets you through, I say!!!! 😄

I totally believe that we have company just about all of the time.  I am a Christian who also happens to be receptive, meaning that I sense and see more than most other people.

Every year in spring we have a range of little happenings, in fact this yea'rs have only just ended about a week ago and for the first time, I was spoken to.

Chuffed to bits, I was.

Think Psychics on the whole are con artists who pray on the desperate:-( But do believe in ghosts, seen and heard too many of them to deny it:-)

Yesterday would have been my daughters 21st birthday and the biggest, bright yellow butterfly came and sat on my knee for about 5 minutes. Never seen one like it! When I say big it's wing span was about six inches!

[leoleoleo123]

I would like to think that death is not the end...

but as for being watched over all the time... erm, I don't think I fancy that! I mean, one likes some privacy at 'certain' times! lol

I'm a Christian and I do believe there are spirits about, presences, ghosts, whatever we choose to call them.  Someone I know said there is no such thing as ghosts if you are a Christian, but to me either they are there or they're not, regardless of what people think.

Not all ghosts are bad/scary etc, in fact I believe that most of them aren't.

I have had one or two experiences which can only really be explained as ghosts/presences - whatever we call them, neither was scary.

One evening, about 9.30pm, I was driving back from Lakeside Shopping Centre, Thurrock, Essex.  The route I take is usually through the lanes, a distance of five or six miles to home.

On this particular evening, I was driving down one of the little lanes when I saw (and this is really true, though it doesn't sound it!) an old green double-decker bus coming towards me,

just turning at the junction off the bus route into the little lane I was about to come out of.

The bus was an old RT bus, with gas lamps inside and people in.  My first thought was why is the bus coming down here, then crikey, what an ancient bus, wherever have they dug that one out from?!  Then it drove over me and my car and disappeared, just went, vanished.

A few days later I was talking about it work.  One of my colleagues had seen exactly the same thing, around the same time of evening, in the same location, but a number of years before.  This person, years before that, in the '60's, had been a driver for what was then London Country Buses and remembered and drove the buses in the "vision".

I asked him and also researched whether anything had happened there in the past, involving one of their buses, but couldn't find anything relating to any incident and my colleague didn't know of anything.  I'd love to find out what, if anything, happened to make our experiences so many years later.

I've driven down that lane many, many times since, often at around that time, but have never seen it again.  I wondered if the "vision" was only available to bus/coach drivers, as both myself and my colleague were coach drivers, well I still am but he's retired now.

Weird, yes, it is very weird.  It wasn't scary though and it was very real.  There was a feeling in the air too when I saw it, a kind of difference in the atmosphere momentarily.

So yes, I believe in them, but they don't worry me.

I used to work in a firm of solicitors whose office was in a very old building. When I first started I was told about "the toast ghost" - apparently when she was about you got the smell of toast.....never really thought about it again until after about 18 months of working there I got a whiff of toast one afternoon (and no the firm did not possess a toaster in their kitchen - and the kitchen was two floors down anyway) so I can only assume that the toast ghost was about. The smell stayed around for about 10 mins as I recall

Maybe Tara was using the right word. In physics there is a law of conservation of energy.....where energy cann neither be created or destroyed only changed. Hubby says they have recently changed this slightly to include mass. Personally I think it is something to do with energy. 

I too am an atheist, but I do try to believe there is good in most people.

Some very moving tales, have given me goosepimples

Huggles' Butterfly :-x

Fishpie's Bus - Crikey 🙂

Toast Ghost :^O

I am neither a believer nor a non-believer, BUT have had a couple of freaky instances that have no obvious explanation.

When I was very young, I was an army brat (Dad was doing his National Service) and we lived in all sorts of places. One place in particular, in Wiltshire (yes, I know - settle down) 🙂

This was an old house, with a creepy feel (according to my Mum, I was too young to remember)

HOWEVER - apparently I used to wake up most nights, screaming that there was a bearded man sitting in the corner of my room. I honestly can't remember it, but to this day I have a thing about beards, absolutely cannot stand them. Anyone with a beard is not allowed to come anywhere near me, if they do I just feel incredibly uncomfortable.

In this same house, my Mum was one day washing her hair in the bathroom basin. My Dad (or so she thought at the time) came up and poked her in the ribs (you know, how people do sometimes to startle you). She turned round and said "Ooh, you so-and-so, you made me jump". But no-one was there. She looked out of the bathroom window, and Dad was in the garden, he couldn't have got there in that time. She maintains to this day that it was a very creepy house.

[kiss*my*pixel]

Nicer tales:

My very darling Nanna absolutely loved honeysuckle. Shortly after she died, Mum was in her kitchen and got the very distinct, strong whiff of honeysuckle (none in her garden or anywhere close). She found it extremely comforting

I have lost things in the house, just as an example, my engagement and eternity rings. I take them off when at home, usually put them in the same place. One particular time, I could not find them. Searched for days, went through the dustbin and recycling bins, wondering if I'd thrown them out, practically turned the house upside down. Got very tearful and shouted "Where are they, Nanna" - within the hour, o/h found them, in a little ornamental basket in the bathroom (that I had already checked, several times). Similar things have happened, where I've asked for her help to (only to find lost things, though), and usually I've found them once I've asked her.

I know - sounds a bit freaky, doesn't it :8}

Huggles, in my Family we have a belief that butterflies are spirits of loved ones :-x

We have lots of things go on in this house, have seen spirits many times here, and we have an old Nanny that walks the corridor upstairs between the end bedroom and the Nursery. I think she still looks after the little ones here.

The dead don't hurt you, only the living can do that.

[chickengrandma-2008]

I don't believe in any of that stuff.  I'm too scared to.  I don't have any ghostly happenings but this has puzzled me for about 15 years.

  I was driving along our road, a country road, about two miles down from home.  I'd just taken my mum and dad home one Sunday evening as I did every Sunday evening. It was summer, about 7pm, the sun was shining.  Coming round a slight bend I could see the road ahead for about 500 mts. At the far end there was a car coming towards me.  I looked in my rear view mirror for a second or two and then looked ahead again.  There was no car!  There was no turn off, gate way, lay by, nowhere that that car could have gone!!  I was scared to carry on to the spot where the first car had disappeared but i had no choice, and obviously I was fine.  Did I see that car?  I think I did.  Where did it go?  I've no idea.  😐

tilley and I are on the same wavelength.

I've had ghosts around me since I was a child, saw my first one when I was 4, so they don't bother me.

I am a Christian too but I dont' tell anyone, live and let live that's me.

I respect everyones opinion even if it differs from mine.

I am not a Christian, but I believe as you in live and let live and I too respect others opinions. I mean life would be rather dull if we all thought and did the same.

[fishpieface]

Me too, I respect other peoples' beliefs.  There are many "Christians" in this world who don't act very Christian and there are many athiests who are simply the lovliest people one could hope to meet.

Last night at my evening class we were talking about spirits, ghosts etc.  One of the blokes there had been asked if he wanted to go to a seance, and something about witches.  Most of the people there (there were 8 of us) believed in spirits/ghosts/whatever and were not frightened of them but most people there didn't fancy the idea of attending a seance.
