Pursuing the paranormal [They HEAR dead people]

"But who knows?" -David Sircom

For me, this sums up EVP... UFO's and the Kennedy-assasination, conspiracy theories.

I've seen/heard this type of 'unexpalnable' stuff myself. But IT IS because you can't explain it... that your mind comes up with the most plausible explanation.

One thing is certain. These 'things' do happen.

If the dead can vote (democrat of course) why shouldn't they be allowed to talk?

Familiar spirits

[johnny7]

Yeah... so what's 'yer point?

If the dead can vote (democrat of course) why shouldn't they be allowed to talk?

If the dead can vote and if indeed they do, then we can verify that there is a sudden Democrat conversion at the time of death, regardless of party preference before death.

Duhhh! I can hear whole cocktail parties in running water (like from fountains or leaks) and in vacuum cleaners. Doesn't make them ghostly. It's the audio counterpart of meaningful pattern recognition. You find pictures in the clouds or the wallpaper or in the stars or the moles on someone's back. Are they there? No, it's just your brain doing its thing. Try eavesdropping on the vacuum cleaner sometime. I'm not gifted and I hear people chatting without using a tape recorder. Can't make out what they're saying because there is no they and they aren't saying anything!

[Graymatter]

My kid just gave me another example. You can hear music in white noise too. Try the running water, or a dripping leak. The brain filters out some of the sounds in a search for meaningful sounds. Result, melody.

Dunno, but...

[Graymatter]

"...any palette of white noise, ranging from a silent room or radio static or water rushing down the drain. Sircom finally runs the result through a computer program that optimizes any unusual sounds on the recording."

The human brain has such a program.
Resting my case.

If one consumes enough spirits I am certain one can hear the spirits ;-)

Can you say "Boooool Sheeeet"?

I can, and this is that.

The dead don't talk; they're dead.

[johnny7]

'Zactly. We send out radio signals into space everyday... hoping to get a response from ET's who are thousands of light-years away. These 'ghostly' transmissions might fall into something akin to this.

Ghosts and UFO's are perfect answers for human's who lack the information to explain the unexplained!

[Cowman]

The voices told me to post this.

[johnny7]

"Boooool Sheeeet"

Actually, that's as rational an opinion as calling these 'sounds' dead people.

A couple of years ago, a coworker and myself headed out of the office for lunch. Right over the tree-line, I saw a slowly moving, metallic sphere and stopped dead in my tracks. So did my associate.

Instantaneously, we both turned our heads to see if the other saw it.

We quickly turned back to see it again... and it was gone.

All I know is that I saw something that looked 'wrong'... 'outta place. My coworker saw it... but right away... he was 'yellin UFO!

Thanks for the post. An open mind is a wonderful thing.

Nephilim -- only complete idiots play around with them.

[johnny7]

You 'talkin Ouija boards?

[Zechariah11]

Ouija boards, automatic writing, crop circles, white noise, etc -- you name it. The Nephilim are the offspring of intercourse between fallen angels and women. They are angelic/human hybrids judged in Genesis 6, confined in Tartarus, and depicted on stone tablets in Egypt and elsewhere. They are mentioned in the Scriptures in Judge and extra-Biblical texts like the Book of Enoch.

" Judge" = Jude
