VS007;103170It was almost midnight, I was walking my friend back home after seeing a late night movie. My bike had broken down and with no autos on the road at that time of the hour, we had no other option but walk. It was the month of november and was getting cold and foggy. She was kinda scared as we knew we had to cross a graveyard.

What happened next scared the living Jesus out of us. Till date we are not sure if was real or just our fears playing tricks on us. Here

Where is the video ? pulled-away? I have some events to share. Life is full of some unknown happenings, mysteries, bad brain signals unwinding in sleep, 6th sense, bad dreams, scariness, fear, para-normals unexplained incidences happened in our own life and many times, whar we do not understand, we cal it as, it?s not normal?. Hey ! Paranormal. I remember in my 7th class, I was at tuition and was sitting on stairs and studying and suddenly I remember that my tuition aunty will come and ask me to go home early and when I go there, there are guests in my home.
It happens with every one.

Read Edward B tichener's book' a text book of psychology' published in 1928

Its a false sense of familiarity, its an error of brain, sometimes we get the glimps of a situation before brain sends the complete perception to conscious mind.

Whatever we see gets stored by brain as perception, sometimes brain hangs and we see the glimps before construction is completed. It happens for few seconds, a partial perception.

Hope u got my point what i mean to say.

^ I guess in this situation "normal" is the reality we live in ( as a result of the laws of physics and quantum mechanics )

Paranormal - is the imagination of the human mind or the influences of mental illness, chemical unbalance or drugs..

In short - we have a universe where there are limits to what can happen - why we can out-rule a lot of stuff ( like magic, ghosts, afterlife, gods and all that sort of fairytale stuff )
But our brain experiences the world based on a combination of senses and predictions and is therefore susceptible to present us for experiences that seem real to us in the moment ( or is stored falsely, but recalled as real later ) and that brings those with lacking understanding of the world to question it..

What many forget is that none of our experience is reality directly - it's always processed and affected by a ton of stuff - so in short you cannot trust your senses at all..

There is NO green dots - just the mind playing tricks on you! Now look the picture below and concentrate on tic for 30 sec.. Oh Yeaaa ! What u c ?



Nothing paranormal has ever been documented as it cannot happen in reality - but of course like with dreams it doesn't have to be real for people to experience things - but it's all in the mind!

Are these 'weird experiences', because it is happening to a good number of people, as evidenced by claims made in this thread, still be called paranormal, when in fact because they have become common occurrences already, they thereby fall under the category 'normal' (in the strict sense of the word).

Precisely because they are already common they need not be recategorized as paranormal.

The question of the reality of these experiences is altogether a different matter.

This is all abnormal. Let me describe my paranormal story in my next post. Thank you for patient hearing.

Something did not work out... the previous post did not show up ! - It happens, we are in the paranormal post-thread, m i RIght ? Haalo, Administrators we are missing a post here. PLease put my first post back.

Sandy My co-worker had told me this her's story, a month ago..

" My mum was a bit psychic and was really into all of that. She had premonitions mostly. Before she died we had a conversation and I promised that after she died I'd see a medium, in case she wanted to say something. It took me a few years to build up the courage, but one day by chance someone mentioned this woman that a was supposedly a good medium so I bit the bullet.

I consciously made sure beforehand when arranging the meeting that the medium could know nothing about me. I rang from a work phone to organise meeting, I only gave her my first name, I even parked my car down the street so she couldn't see my number plate.

A lot of personal things came though the medium, things my mum knew about me. For example she said 'not to be afraid of flying as you'll be fine'. My mum knew I was terrified of flying.

But what floored me was when the medium said "Mary and Peggy say hello". Mary and Peggy are my dead grandmothers. Peggy's actual name was Margaret and so 'Peggy' wouldn't have shown up on any records, but Peggy was what everyone called her. I bawled my eyes out, was embarrassing, but I was just so shocked.

Another time the medium was saying that mum was excited and patting herself and saying 'grandmother, grandmother'. At the time neither myself or my brother or sister had children. Later that week my sister rang up and said "guess what?" and I said "you're pregnant?". "

It's just one of the many mysteries we have to live with. I think that people that dismiss these things out of hand are just as bad as those that try to rationalise it. None of us has solved all the mysteries of existence yet, still a way to go. I think that once it is explained it could be quite prosaic, some weird space-time thing. Just have to live with the mystery. Which, I actually hate mysteries, I want to know all the secrets of life and the universe and everything. "

But this had happened to me, and it's true real incident..

My great aunt lived in my house when she had a fight with her daughter - she took my bedroom. The stress from it was so bad that she suffered a heart attack one day - inside the bedroom.

She survived it and was able to go back to the Philippines. She died a few months later. The day she died - I was on my computer browsing these forums when I got a whiff of the perfume she always wore.

I didn't even know she had died - didn't find out til the next morning.

Now my dear R2IC forum friends, before you thank me,.. wait a minute...

No, I'll decline thanks, I've had too many discussions like this. IFFF....You're hell bent on invalidating something neither you or I understand. It's pointless. It's like god, I don't believe in a god, but whether I believe or not is irrelevant, I can't prove or disprove it and I don't feel the need to debate it. You say that I was scammed but cant explain how mediator managed to scam her grandmothers names. So, neither of us can defend our position.

You can tell me this though please, if you want a conversation. If the universe supposedly represents all space, yet it's expanding. What is it expanding into? More space? In which case the universe doesn't represent all space. And, if the universe has an edge, what is on the other side of the edge. What is the nature of space in other words. Is it finite or infinite, and how can anything be either finite or infinite? Finite things have an edge, on the other side of which is...something. Infinite makes your head want to explode. Everything has to finish somewhere? Numbers are infinite, I get that, but space?

Unknowns are many, paranormals are many, you need to use 6th sense, leaving that freaking DEjaVU aside.

tejasvee;103516Not directly related to ghosts, but kind of tangential to this topic.

There is one famous person I have heard, not met though. He is Selvam Siddhar who was in headlines after donating $5 million to Shiva temple in Atlanta.



http://www.rediff.com/news/2005/nov/25selvam.htm

I occasionally get his literature in mail and one of them caught my attention (Siddhi Magazine). The magazine contains Atharva Veda in his interpretations, various spells, testimonials (like the thousands in here http://www.hindutempleofgeorgia.org/Feedback/), motivating for donations and most importantly, how Siddhar cures various problems one might be going through.

I can expect the kind of responses from familiar members :emsmiled: .. but what I wonder is how can so many people be false (testimonials)? I even asked my mom once if these spells work..we heard a lot of Kerala Atharva Veda experts in my childhood - we called it vamachara in Karnataka and never went near them. She told me to keep off these.

By chance I saw this post and googled for this guy. This is what I found.

"Annamalai Annamalai — also known as both Dr. Commander Selvam and Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar — was convicted in August on federal charges including tax fraud, bank fraud and bankruptcy fraud. He was sentenced Monday to spend 27 years and three months in prison."
