Are ghosts, demons or/and any paranormal stuff REAL?

[Buttercup Camera 229]

I've been watching the 'Paranormal Activity' movies and the 'Ghost Stories' on the Bio channel, which lead me to wonder. Are ghosts real? And what about demons? I mean, there's more "proof" of demons being real than actual angels, which is kinda of... scary.

 

I used to believe that I went trough an "ghosty" story as a kid with my school on an old park. But it all can be rusumed to be a silly story created by our imaginations back there. Nothing really weird happened, just on our minds.

 

Also, there's thousands of stories and videos around the web about this matter, but we can never be sure if they're real or not nowdays. 

 

I always wanted to try the Ouija Boards, but I'm too scared to do such thing.

 

I mean, NO ONE KNOWS what is there waiting for us after death! 

 

The Conjuring, one of the best movies of 2013, is 'based on a true story', like many others.

 

What do you think? Are they real? Are they bad, do they wish harm? Or they simply wish to contact the living to clear up some matter?

I believe my grandmother who passed away very recently tried to speak with me. My lil puppy also seems to look at a certain direction now, like she sees something.

what my mom belives it that ghosts and such are really Demons

This is something that has been discussed for ages, and will continue to be discussed for ages. There are really only three things you need to know:

1: Ghosts, angels, and demons are real. Just because you can't see or understand something does not mean it doesn't exist.

2: Most of the things you'll find (video, pics, etc.) proving ghosts, angels, or demons exist are more than likely fake. Not saying EVERYTHING is fake, but our technology today really let's people get away with a lot of things.

3: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU TRY OUT AN OUIJA BOARD!!!! This never leads to anything good. While angels are good and ghosts are kind of all over the place, demons are pure evil and no laughing matter. Using those things is just inviting trouble into your life.

[Amber Cole 1,557]

I agree with James 500% on the board thing. NEVER EVER EVER EVER NEVER NEVER EVER TRY IT! UNDER ANY CURCUMSTANCE!

 

I believe that that stuff exists. not because of movies or books or stories. I just believe they exist. but if there's a shadow there must be  light too right? if there are demons and ghosts, then that means there must be angels and things like that

Have you ever tried once a Ouija Board?

[Ceriraye 485]

IMO that kind of stuff depends on the person and what they believe. everyone has a different say...... But the stuff in movies are fake.... Again IMO. I wouldn't pay much mind to the horror and scary movies, and with that board, yeah don't, I'm not sure if it works but it's better to be safe than sorry.

[PillowHead 569]

No.

[Dracozombie 4,554]

I wanna try an Ouija Board just to spite everyone.

[Green Sparrow 795]

Have you ever tried once a Ouija Board?

No, but I have had experiences with demons before (angels as well). There really are no words to describe how terrifying it was during those times, so no, I would not even stay in the same room as one of those boards.  :unsure:

[Caxkj 481]

It all depends on perspective. Persoanlly; I am a through believer in their existence.

[Wolf on the Run 391]

hum do ghosts demons and angels exist hum good question honestly myself I'm kind of on the fence as to whether i believe in them or not although i think i lean more to the side that believes since i grew up in an area thats actually that actually has its fair share of ghost stories i got the Banshee and Headless Horseman hanging around my place with countless stories and the Irish Fairy Forts i say it now people if you ever i repeat if you ever see a Fairy Fort you keep the hell back do not mess with those things damaging one of them is like signing your own death cert 

[kurasa25 45]

yall play too much KH lol ofcourse that stuff doesnt exist. 

[Hardrada 117]

As far as science is concerned, nothing "paranormal" is real. Don't worry about it.

[Sandra_Nedelcheva1998 244]

I don't really believe in those paranormal things but I once had a strange experience that makes me quiestion myself that.

[NO_HEART_XIII 312]

I guess you'll find out when you die.

[HarLea Quinn 26,501]

 I do believe bc I have seen some things in my life that are simply not explainable . However, this kind of stuff is hard to prove either way and it doesn't help when people pull many " supernatural" hoaxes which detract from the credibility of people who have seen or experienced real occurences. That and people fear what they do not understand.

[Kishira 2,854]

I personally do think these things exist. I watch a bunch of paranormal shows, but I have never actually experienced anything first-hand *which upsets and relieves me all at the same time*, but my mom has experienced things *and according to her, so has my dad but he refuses to tell anyone* and so has my grandparents and sister. 

[Tigerruss 576]

The paranormal exists. At least it does in people's minds, and that gives it power. Power to change people's thoughts and actions. It doesn't matter if there is truly an objective thing that exists apart from the person, all that matters is that it is effecting the person.Personally I hope there is an objectively true supernatural/paranormal, but at the same time it is scary to imagine. Especially if it doesn't bow to predictability, so we can't prove it one way or another.

[Velvet Scarlatina 607]

Everything "paranormal" is just in people's heads. The mind is a very powerful thing, and can play tricks on you, especially if you end up being scared of something that isn't there. You'll eventually become so scared/convinced that there are ghost/angels/demons that you'll eventually hallucinate them. I'm no scientist, but there's an explanation to almost everything. They're placebos.

[Lalalablah 1,539]

They're real if you believe they are. A lot of it is confirmation bias. Personally I think none of that paranormal stuff exists. I've experienced things that one may consider supernatural, but there are simple explanations that are overlooked by some. Besides, the idea of spirits and demons existing is much more fascinating than them not existing. 

 

Ouija boards are fun, up until everybody realizes it's fake.

[Nick Sideris 1,551]

Nope . Things like those do not exist . We wouldn't be here if they did . Now about the after-death thingy , well noone came back to tell us . And I am pretty sure noone will be so ,yeah , the secret of the after-death thingy will always be a secret . I mean ,according to Christianity , when someone dies , his soul leaves his body and it disappears . And that's it .

I've always been fascinated by the mistery and this kind of stuff, but with time I grew an opinion about the "paranormal": we can't understand something that is simply meant to exist, be felt, to affect people and everything else.. it's like trying to understand Love.. You can't understand Love, you can only feel it.. And sometimes we forget this and we let our brains weaken our Hearts.. it doesn't matter whether they exist or not, it's pointless to seek the answers behind their existence (unless for the pleasure of research itself), because existence ITSELF is already the answer: we "are" because we are meant to live and feel.. trust what you feel and defend your ideals :DP.S.: I've always been a little sceptic about things I've never had the chance to experience myself, but it's also sad not to believe in something "spiritual".. if all of this things are just the mere derivation of humans' mind meant to give us something to believe in.. then you should do as I do: as I said in my opinion it's sad not to believe in something "spiritual" but since I'm sceptic about something I can't experience myself, I create my own beliefs. If we are meant to let ourselves be driven by something (supposedly) fictitious, why not using our Hearts to believe in something that belong inside of us instead of believing in something (supposedly) invented by others? If we gotta deal with this kind of stuff for all our existence, why not shaping our beliefs in something able to simply make us feel (good of course ) ?

[Weedanort 8,787]

I don't believe in that tbh.

 

I'll have to see to believe.

[Col.Random 3,683]

Even though I do believe in those things, I guess you can never really be sure of anything. I've experienced a paranormal event but i think what i experienced can easily be classified as a hallucination(since i was very tired).On the other hand, some people I know have reported incidents that seemed too real to simply be called a hallucination.The problem is people love to toss everything into the same category. Some will declare all paranormal incidents to be hallucinations or something similar while others will declare all such incidents to be paranormal.Personally I believe that somewhere among the thousands of reported paranormal incidents there possibly are true incidents where the paranormal really did make contact with humans.The way I see it there's far too many people who fully believe they've experienced something paranormal for us to simply classify all of it as hallucinations.You also can't use the "oh it can't be explained by science" argument because that would imply humans have fully understood science completely with all different forms of it, which is obviously not true.I wouldn't advise messing around with an Ouija board. It's possible that a demon might simply ignore your ouija board so the ouija board stuff might not even work, but it's also possibly that it could work and in that event who knows what can happen. Would you really take any risks to prove to yourself the existence of something humans hardly know anything about?
