they are not real because you do not believe in them. They may be real to one who believes in it. Some believe that a certain medicine has benefits to the human body, and they say so because it has worked for them, while others claim that the medicine is useless because they havent been affected by it. you cant dismiss something that you do not know for a fact not to exist. i guess kinda like ufo's or aliens. just because we havent seen an alien or a ufo, doesnt mean that they dont exist. i guess you can throw in dinosaurs into this category as well no one said that they are the same thing, you are putting words in his mouth.
WHAT??? There is a huge difference here "one of these things are not like the others" DUDE, show me UFO remains or alien bones.. you can walk into the Houston museum and see REAL dinosaur bones.. I can kind of tell where you were going with that, but comparing UFO and aliens to dinosaurs is a long shot IMO..
If he knows for I fact they do exist, then I know for a fact they do not. And they don't. Look out for the Bogeyman too. Dinosaurs have more than enough evidence. Jinn-Jinns are nothing more than a ignorant religious superstition.
After staying in the house for the past two weeks, I have noticed that the little noises get me looking, the noises that are normal but you still wonder.
I'll go ahead and post my post from the Halloween Real Ghost Stories thread: -------------------- I live in a house in Galveston that is at least 125 years old- I know it's that old because I've seen it on an isometric map of Galveston dated 1880. Anyway, this house has been split into a duplex, and I first lived downstairs, then up. When I lived on the bottom floor, I never actually saw a ghost, but some very weird stuff happened. I accidentally locked myself out of the house, and the second time I tried the handle (out of frustration), the door was unlocked. A similar thing happend about a month later- I over-loaded the washer with two blankets, and so I had to take one out and put it on the back porch. The door to the back porch had a deadlock, and I was standing there with a dripping wet blanket, cussing because I had to put it down and go get the key. Suddenly there was a loud 'click' and the deadbolt was unlocked. I waited a second because I thought it was my roommate coming in through the back door, but when he didn't come in, I opened the door to see that there was no one there. There was a motion-sensitive light that I set off when I opened the door, so there was no way that anyone was back there. When I would come home from work, I would go into the kitchen, eat and watch sportscenter on a 25-inch TV I mounted to the wall with one of those TV mounts you see in bars, hospitals, airports, etc. It had been there for a few months, and one day I didn't go directly into the kitchen, I got on my computer instead. About 30 minutes later, I heard a huge crash, and ran into the kitchen to see that the TV had fallen off the mount. I had actually screwed wood screws into the TV to help secure it, and these were lying on the floor too. I looked at the TV, and the holes that the screws were in weren't ripped out or even stressed. Not only did I have it screwed in, it was strapped down as well. We speculated that whatever did it (ghost) was ticked at me for breaking my habit of hanging out in the Kitchen after work. Very shortly after my wife (then my GF) moved in with me, something similar happened. We were sleeping, and at about 3:30 in the morning, I woke up to a big crash. I asked her if she had heard anything, and of course she said that I was dreaming, but being the paranoid type, I checked it out anyway. I went into the living room, and in the middle of the floor was a 15-inch monitor smashed to bits. I had kept in in the closet in the living room, which had sliding/folding doors (can't think of the proper name). I suppose it could have fallen off the shelf and knocked the door open on it's own, but it was about 10 feet away from the closet, and it looked more like it was dropped from several feet up. I didn't really see anything else downstairs, but my wife says she saw a fuzzy child-size shape in the doorway to the kitchen, and my old roommate says he saw an old man in the corner of his room. But he was stoned alot of the time, so I discount that sighting. We moved upstairs last year because it was nicer and roomier, and we didn't really see anything supernatural until recently. I was walking up the stairs about two weeks ago, and saw a shape walk across the hall in my perephrial vision. I thought it was my wife crossing from our bedroom to the bathroom, but when I got to the top of the stairs, the bathroom light was off and the door was closed. I checked the bathroom just to be sure, and she wasn't there. I went into our bedroom, and she was sitting in bed reading a book, and said she hadn't moved in the past 20 minutes. Last week, we were laying in bed during game two of the World Series when the HR was hit that put the Sox ahead. Ticked off, I turned the TV off. About five seconds later, the bed shook hard like someone was shaking the bed frame, for about five solid seconds. Kate was pretty spooked, and I got up and looked around the house (I'm not sure what for). I came back, shrugged, and turned the TV back on. That was by far the most supernatural thing I had actually experienced in that house. I really like the house, though, and have never really felt threatened. A few times before I have seen out of the corner of my eye what I thought was a person shape, but except for the stairs incedent, have always discounted it as shadows or light playing tricks on me. When I originally moved into the house, I found three paintings, one of which had a floating woman in a dress, with some latin written on it (I'm not kidding), something to the effect of 'Spiritus Hominus' and 'Rex' is in there somewhere. If anyone is interested, I will look at it when I get home and post the exact Latin. It's hanging in my living room right now. Apparently a previous tenant had been an artist and had left the paintings. That's my 'ghost' story(s). Not very scary or earth shaking, but this stuff definately happened. --------------------- Since I wrote that my wife and I had a baby, and we have seen a few other things. Most notably the ghost talked to her. She was trying to take a nap and couldn't sleep and started to get out of bed and it said, from the bedside, in a very insistant male voice 'Stay Asleep'. I was playing video games in the other room and she shouted at me to come in the room. She told me what happened, and I looked around the room (for her sake) and told her to listen to the ghost (I wanted to keep playing). The only other notable thing we've seen is that our son's toys keep getting misplaced in the house, almost instantly- one of us will put one down on one table, and it will be in another room when we go to find it. I could chock that up to us being scatter-brained if I hadn't seen all of the weird stuff.
I've been possessed once. Weird story. There's this chick I had a crush on forever. One day I see her and the next thing I know my mind just goes into hyperspace/coma. Im not sure how long it lasted but when I regained consciousness, I was holding her hand. O_O Not very scary, but kinda cool and WTF? how did that happen type of moment.
I don't believe in ghosts and the only spirits (holy or otherwise) I believe in are the ones I drink.
Thank you, George Costanza. This is nonsense... surely you jest. Also, aside from the fact that I think Dinosaurs DID exist, I have NEVER seen an ALIEN, but it would be selfish to believe that this world is the only one that can sustain life. Have people SEEN Aliens? YES. Have people kept proof of that? no. Have people seen Dinosaurs? Yes... dead. Do people have proof of that? YES. If you believe in ghost, you're not methodologically drawing educated conclusions. Does the wind howl? YES. Do people think that the howling sounds like a woman hollering? YES.
Shoul ies, Max. That sort of stuff (La Llorona = Woman Hollering) can be easily explained. My mother in law tells stories of some man changing into a dog, when in reality it was just a dog. Almost every country will have a Woman Hollering. I know in Mexico it is common (many trees cutting the wind, making the wind howl). What's the case in Ireland? Have you ever noticed that there are more spirit, paranormal, "weird", and ghost stories in small towns than there are in cities? Have you ever noticed that since camcorders came out, there have been LESS Alien sightings? (I think Steve Wright said that one).
I believe in the stuff, and would definitely not live near a cemetary or knowingly buy a home that someone was killed or died in...I guess I'm supersticious that way...
Have I ever experienced anything? No. Have plenty of rational people I would never discount claimed to have experienced something? Yes. I'm not willing to discount them.
If ghosts kept accumulating over the tens of thousands of years that humans have existed, wouldn't the world be pretty crowded and overrun with them? Also, animals, and dinosaurs, millions and billions of them all roaming the Earth in spirit form. You'd figure it would be much more obvious than stories about shady encounters late at night.
Your post reeks of arrogance, and you should be careful how you say things about another's religion, on a message board nothing may happen to you, but in real life if you say something like that to someone else, you could get hurt.
Well I'm really a sorrercor and I can defeat your so-called Jinns with a level 8 spell so don't even try it.
Threatening physical violence because someone questions your religion does not seem like a very Godly response? In fact those type of responses actually fuel stereotypes.
lol @ the threats of physical violence because of an argument over the existence of some turd eating creature from another dimension.
