Apparition Picture thread: who's photographed a ghost?
 
I'll go first.

My stepmother is a hospice nurse...common for nurses at her facility to see apparitions; two in particular at their house. First one is a little old lady with her head in a bun, angry, always leaving faucets on, slamming doors, opening drawers, scattering papers, etc.

The second is a high-energy orb...with a light trail. A few months ago this orb was spotted dancing around a room at high-speed...the nurse left the vacant room and return with a few other nurses for which she captured this picture.

If I didn't know the nurses, I'd call BS on this, but since I do, it's intriguing.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1436380927.jpg

The question is do the Nurses know who the "Little old Lady" was? If they do, did anybody come and visit her right before she passed?

Not sure...she's been there quite a while. They vacated the room she haunts because it was too upsetting to residents there.

There are no ghosts so no one has ever take a picture of a ghost, unicorns, bigfoot or aliens from other star systems.

U do live in a well defined and orderly world. Nothing exists beyond the four walls that surround you. Isn't that a pleasant way to go through life?

I live in the same world and it is very pleasant. SmileWavy

There are apparitions and unexplained phenomena, only a fool fails to see the limits of his own knowledge.

What the heck are you babbling about? There is an entire fantastic universe out there with more astonishing things than anyone can imagine. Hubble is just a start and we know more about Mars than the bottom of our own ocean. There is not one tiny bit of evidence for anything supernatural at all. Ghosts are just make believe.

See U even miss the metaphor, you only see and acknowledge what you can quantify by seeing and touching within the narrow 4 walls of your existence. A simple question is how do you quantify an emotion? Do emotions exist for you, or do U reduce them as simply being electric impulses and chemistry in your brain? If you tend towards that spectrum then you are not even a speck of dust in the scheme of the universe, insignificant and thus not even worth talking to as being so inconsequential.

MarkRobinson 07-08-2015 12:15 PM

Geez, didn't take long for this to side-track....perhaps this wasn't a good idea :)

This entire planet and everything and everyone ever is just an insignificant speck in the universe.

Carl Sagan put it way better than I could.

So what is your point?

We are just a speck of nothing that and we around for a microsecond of time in the universe. That does not make the Loch Ness Monster anything more real than a way to fleece tourists. The Easter bunny is not real either!

really? There are many, MANY things that we knew as fact 100, 50 and 20 years ago, that we now know is not fact. There were things that we thought were total fantasy and make believe that we now have done or know to be fact.

I'm skeptical, but open minded. A lot of stuff that people can't explain and do explain with fantasy would be easy to explain if someone with the right knowledge and observation skills were there to experience the phenomena. But, I'm smart enough to know that in the grand scheme of things we don't really know that much about the universe. I suspect there's a lot that would amaze us if we knew, experienced or could comprehend it.

I would love to see something that I couldn't explain as anything other than a ghost or apparition. So far, that hasn't been the case.

What? Do you want one to try on a glove. If the glove fits...

Just because there is no evidence, doesn't mean that it's not out there.

The ghost of that burrito loaded with habanero salsa I ate yesterday was haunting me today. For everyone's benefit, there will be no photos.

When I go visit my parents, if no one is home, then I can sometimes hear Mom's dog "Rambo" do his happy dance on the linoleum before I push the door open. It's the strangest thing ever. Dad ran over Rambo tragically around 7 years ago. It was pretty upsetting for everyone, especially for Rambo.

Complete sidebar here for a moment:
WTF is it with people who prefer to abbreviate "you" as "U", but can't even manage that consistently? For Pete's sake dude, if you wanna sound smart, write smart. Don't suffocate your own point with shoddy "cyber-cred" prose.

Back to our regularly scheduled topic.

Are you saying that fat, old, racist white dudes who buy dead guys' clothing AND THEN WEARS THEM can't be hip?

Am I to understand from this that you don't believe in extraterrestrial life?
