View Full Version : Do you believe in...

Well this is little question for everyone. It may have been asked allready, but I am too lazy to dig to see if it has been asked.
Well do you believe in anything unexplainable? Like UFO's, sea seapeants, ghosts, vampires, or anything else that can't be described.

Personally I have a small belief in UFO's, maybe because I am easily fooled, but I don't know if any of you saw Fire in the Sky, well when I saw this I was really young, and it probably traumatized me for life, but I asked my Mom about it, and she said she remembers around that time seeing bright lights, because it was near the forte apache rez. where she lived, and my Mom is not a liar, I know. So ever since then I have this weird fear of UFO. Late at nights I find myself freaked out about it. Generally only if I am extremely tired. And something has sparred my interest in the topic.

Who knows, maybe I am going looney.

I believe in the supernatural and things like that. Sure. I don't know about UFO's and stuff, but I do think that there's more to this universe than what we know. If we only use 10% of our brain, what can we do with the other 90%? Who knows? The truth is out there...

Damn, Fire In the Sky is easily the scariest movie I've ever seen.

By UFO's I'm assuming you mean Extra Terrestrial life forms that come to our planet. Unidentified Flying Objects happen all the time, well, anytime someone sees an object that is flying and they can't identify it (is it a bird? A plane?). Anyhow, I guess its possible for there to be other beings out there, but why the hell would they come here? Actually, I'm rather skeptical that there's any life outside out planet. Yeah, I know potentially there's like billions of other planets out there, but life is a very fragile thing. Conditions have to be very unique in order for it to exist. Yes, I know that humans, some bacteria, and cockroaches can live just about anywhere, but those lifeforms had to evolve from something more basic in less harsh conditions and then evolve to live in other conditions. As for the famous quote from the movie Contact ,

"Wouldn't that be an awful waste of space?"

Perhaps, but not if we move off this dust ball.

Sea Serpents, perhaps, but only in the sea/ocean. There's an awful lot of water out there and we have a habit of discovering species that we either thought didn't exist or went extinct millions of years ago (Coelect amp), even big-assed ones (giant squid. Almost every biologist now believes they're out there, we just haven't found a complete specimen). As for creatures like Nessy in Loch Ness, once again I'm skeptical. Unless Nessy herself is millions of years old, she'd have to be part of a population. This means about 200 other creatures living in the same lake. This presents a few problems 1) you'd need a food base large enough to support all these animals and Loch Ness has notoriously bad fishing 2) Plesiosaurs (the dinosaur that Nessie would most likely be if she exists) was an air breathing animal, meaning she needs to come up for air eventually. So with 200 other animals, we'd have sightings every few minutes. And if she was warm blooded, as many scientists believe dinosaurs were, she'd be spouting out warm air in the form of vapor spouts much like whales, making sightings even more noticable. On top of all this, Loch Ness was completly frozen over during one of the Ice Ages. Blood is a liquid. Liquids expand when frozen. So when you freeze blood, it expands and breaks the vessels, killing any animal not evolved to take that kind of abuse (a certain kind of Siberian frog freezes solid during harsh winters and thaws out in spring).

Ghosts: Well, seeing as how ghosts would be spirits, this is a spiritual question needing a spiritual answer. I'm pretty sure my religion states that when someone dies thier soul (spirit) either goes to heaven, hell, or purgatory. None hang around just to bug us. So, no, I don't belive in ghosts.

Vampires: I think this is another spiritual question seeing as how vampires are supposed to be damned creatures of hell. Well, once again I'm going with my religion so some of you may disagree, but we believe in demons, so if a vampire is a demon, then I guess I believe in vampires.

You didn't include Big Foot or Yetis, so I'll add them to the list. As usual, I'm skeptical, but why the hell not? As recent as last century the giant panda was discovered after many biologists said it couldn't exist. Snow leopards (Himalayan neighbors of the Yeti) are rarely seen because of their small numbers and camouflage, so why not Yetis (actually Snow Leopord cries are commonly mistaken for Yetis)? I'm more skeptical about big foot because I think some yokel would have killed one by now and brought in the body. As for the naturally dead bodies in the woods, did you ever find a dead bear in the woods? Probably not because of scavengers, so I guess unless somebody shot a Yeti, tracked it, and found it, no one would necessarily have found a body by now.

As for any films or eyewitness accounts, it's possible that every single one was the result of hoaxing, liars, and over-active imaginations.

This is by far the most reassuring statement about ghosts. I do believe in ghosts, and it scares me to death (mainly because of movies...if i didn't watch scary movies i think i would be sane! :D ) I do think there is some paranormal being lurking around in my house becuase there are so many...WEIRD things happening in that house. But my siblings and I decided it's a friendly ghost because it hasn't done anything to us yet. I think ghosts have some unfinished buisness at hand, but you know what? Reading that just comforts me that there are noooooooooo ghosts! :D :D

I don't really believe in any of that. At least not in today's commercial sense.

I don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe that dead spirits walk around and scare us. The same goes for vampires, witches (again, the green faced, warted old had of modern day's perception, not people of the Wiccan faith), or any other monster.

It would be incredible small-minded to believe that earth is the only planet with life on it. I think that there's some life out there somewhere. But i'm not too sure about flying saucers picking up farmers and landing in fields, only to be covered up by a secret government agency.

So, call me a skeptic.

I believe in other life out there but not in the ghosts, vampires, etc. I'm sure when one scares the crap out of me will though.

Back to extra terrestrials and UFOs the universe is a gigantic place and there's no way we're the only life forms in it.

I've always loved this type of stuff and for a while was investigating evidence on Big Foot and UFO's/Aliens. Overall I think the universe is far to big to not actually have something else out there - esp aliens. Also there is a lot of stuff on earth that we have yet to discover - I mean the bottom of the oceans have yet to be explored so who knows what could exist beyond the light - it's entirely possible that a complete civilization could live there and we'd never know because of our inability to explore the area.

I think my favorite to learn about though would be aliens. With scientists discovering water on Mars it's completely possible that life could be sustained elsewhere and may have actually existed already on planets very near us.

As for ghosts and vampires I think it depends a lot. I could see vampires being children of the dark and for some reason I think the possibility of ghosts existing is extremely high - I mean my religion talks of spirits and while they are supposed to go to heaven or hell there could always be circumstances that prevent such a thing from happening.

The need for people to believe in something, to me is far more likely and often more likely than, IMO, any of the above.

Not saying I don't believe there could be life in outer space, but I don't think people have seen it. Again, for experience, people's need to believe in UFO's is far more likely than the chance they have seen them.

Consider:

The size of our galaxy
The size of the universe

compare that to:

the duration of the universe
the duration of the galaxy
the duration of planet's existence.

Furthermore - and this is the crux. Compare all this to length of our civilization compared to any of the previous factors. Any fact collecting TZ will tell you (as I'm not a number cruncher) that our civilization has had a pin prick of an existence compared to this planet, nay the universe.

Point being, that in such a vast area, over such a vast period, we consider the chance of a vistor coming by our tiny planet in it's so far tiny period of civilization likely?

I don't think so... People's need for UFOs is more realistic.

Ren

Personally, I beleive in UFOs as being just that; unidentified flying objects. I saw one. Do I think it was a space craft? No. Just some sort of earth air craft I've never seen before or since.

Ghosts: I think they're demons. Yes, demons. Being a Christian, I beleive in God, Jesus, Heaven, Hell and demons. There are a lot of supernatural things that some people don't understand and choose to call something else.

Sea Creatures: My "pet" wacky beleif. I like to think I'll see one myself. I even beleive in Lake Monsters, even if it is far from likely that such large creatures to could exist in a lake...

Vampires: I don't really know about vampires, so no, I don't really beleive in them.

Bigfoot: Sure, they could exist. I dont' think they do, but I won't be incredulous if they find one.

My opinon... that's all.

UFOs: Sure. But are they aliens? Not neccesarily. Like Ren said earlier, for all I know it's Boeing testing out some new jet, not Irken Invaders.

Sea Monsters: Sure. The Cealocanth was supposed to be dead for 65 million years when we found one in 1939.

Vampires: Not like Bram Stoker's, but (crazy) people who think that Blood gives you a little kick in your step do exist.

Ghosts: I don't know if they exist. Why would they? Or better yet, why wouldn't they?

Just had a word with my Seminarian friend and apparentely, ghosts do exist, just not how many people think of them. He was told by the priests who teach him that if a soul is sent to purgatory, it is possible that we can see them as apparations (sp?). The example he gave was if a priest neglected his church, after he died he may be senteneced to clean his church for some time in purgatory. Somehow, sometimes we can see these souls because they're working off their sins in our world. Of course, people get scared when they see such things, even though the ghosts have better things to do (i.e. getting into heaven) than bothering us.

So I've changed my answer, yes, I do believe in ghosts, but I'm still not afraid of them.

If there's a steady paycheck in it...I'll believe anything you say.

UFO's

There's too much evidence, too many coverups, too many testimonies...not to. They can't all be weather balloons.

sea seapents

As in Nessie? Somewhere in this world there might be prehistoric ones left over, but I doubt it.

ghosts

I believe in them. But not as most people do. I think ghosts are...how to put this...manifested psychic energies from the past. It's why ghosts walk through walls, and up invisible staircases. I think it's a "recording" of past events. I also believe in true ghosts, spirits with unfinished business.

vampires

I know for a fact that vampires exist. But they're just regular humans who drink blood for kicks, to feel freaky. Actually, blood is supposed to be good for you. Is there a Dracula somewhere? No. There was something scarier than Dracula could ever be, the man he is based on...Vlad the Impaler. I don't believe in the undead type, no.

The Mothman

This is real. It's a psychic manifestation that occurs shortly before disaster. Thousands of people have seen it.

I saw this thing on Unsolved Mysteries about a girl who had special powers. I don't mean like that little kid from The Twilight Zone, but close. Sometimes, when she was hanging around the house, appliances would go nuts and objects would move on their own. For example, the TV might start flipping around channels by itself, even if it was unplugged. Or the light switch would turn itself on, even if it was taped down. And whenever the girl went out to take a walk, the phenomena would stop.

They got a reporter and photographer to come over and interview the girl and make sure the whole thing was real. During the interview, the girl sat in a chair next to a table with a phone on it, and the reporter and photographer sat on a couch next to the table. At one point, when the reporter and photographer looked away for a second, a blanket jumped up off the ground and landed on her head, but neither one of the two men actually saw it happen. So the photographer decided to capture the next strange event on camera. He put the camera up to his eye with his finger poised over the button. The interview continued, and he remained in this position for a long, sustained period. When he finally put the camera down and looked away for a second, the phone receiver shot up off the phone and shot across the girl's lap, leaving it hanging from the cord. Then the photographer got an idea. He raised the camera to his eye again, and after a while, he lowered it to his lap, but made sure to leave it aimed in her direction. Then he looked away, and sure enough, the phone receiver shot across her lap again. This time, he hit the button and captured the moment as it happened. Unsolved Mysteries showed the picture, and it certainly looked real. The receiver had cleared her lap, and the cord that attached it to the phone was in a perfect straight line below her raised arms.

I suppose she could have been faking it, but it's possible she had a form of telekinesis. Unsolved Mysteries has featured stories about other types of phenomena as well, from houses haunted by ancient ghosts to a guy who had detailed memories of a past life which checked out with historical and personal accounts. But usually, they do stories on criminals at large and missing persons. It's a very entertaining show, because they re-enact everything with lookalike actors and have Robert Stack do a creepy narration. You can catch it weekdays on Lifetime.

As regards UFOs...

I believe that there must be hundreds of planets in our galaxy that are capable of supporting life. However, I doubt that many, if any, of those planets have intelligent civilisations.
Look at the history of our own world...
The Earth is several billion years old but it's only in the last 100 years that a high tech civilisation has emerged. Chances are, in another 1,000 years it'll be gone. All civilisations eventually crumble...
So what's the chances that any nearby planets will just happen to be going through that short period when intelligent life flourishes?
I reckon that most planets would have a lot of animal and plant life, but probably no species that have built cities and have space travel technology. Maybe some did in the far past, others will in the far future. But at this exact moment?
Maybe one in this galaxy other than our own, two at the most.

If UFOs exist I think it's more likely that they are either time machines from our own future or beings from a parallel dimension.

In relation to whether there is a soul or an afterlife - well, that is speculation - we have no proof either way what, if anything is beyond the mortal coil.

But for ghosts? Again, people need to believe in an afterlife. In something else. They need it. We all need to believe in something. Ghosts? Again, people's need to believe in life after death is stronger than any proof I've seen in the existence of ghosts.

For me it falls into the boundaries of experience, human motivations and past history.

As a religious point - in regards to an afterlife - that is something that has to be judged on your personal belief. But Ghosts, Pixies, Goblins, Telekinetic powers... these are all things which to me, have no foundations in the world we live in.

The past has shown how many foundations on supernatural belief was earthed in science. Certain medical conditions were deemed supernatural - epilepsy was commonly misunderstood.

The slow decomposition and expulsion of air within the body would sometimes move the corpse after it had been buried. People would think it was alive - and then when staked, the effect to the body would make it look like it was gasping (again I assume air expulsion). These lay credence to Vampires and the like. My point being that while not generally believed now, it just shows how superstition in the present could seem laughable in the future.

People have been proved to have seen and heard things that they wanted to. In a recent controlled test with a psychic who was apparently mediating with the dead, the person who was being read came out amazed at the intimate facts he/she was told. Video taped evidence showed that the psychic hadn't mentioned some of the details the person claimed to have heard. The person heard what she wanted to hear and sometimes people see what the want/or expect to see.
Sometimes what we ourselves have thought we have seen can simply be as inaccurate. We can't always trust are own eyes and ears.

Take Houdini. He went on a crusade to locate a medium who could help him contact his mother. He disproved every one.

I'm not trying to find examples to argue against, just trying to place some foundations to my point. That people believe what they are told. That if it's unusual, we believe in the supernatural context rather than the obvious one.

We see an illusionist. We don't know how he does a trick but because he is an illusionist we don't believe it's magic or supernatural.

Take a supernatural event and despite the fact we could apply the same logic as we do to the illusionist we are more likely to believe that this something beyond that something we have just simply not understood. Take also the fact that we see illusionists first hand perform amazing feats and conclude it's a trick, yet a ghost story we've in imperfect detail, third hand we accept as real.

That's the problem for me, We accept what we want - or even need - to believe in without really looking at the likelihood that it's explainable - even if we don't know the answer.

Nothing is inexplicable, only unexplained.

I do think there are other forms of life (no I don't mean bacteria) in the galaxy but, I doubt they'll ever have the technology to abduct people or even visit earth.

As for sea serpents, I think there are many species that are not yet discovered, I wouldn't be surprised if they do exist.

UFOs/Aliens: From what scientists figure, there are thousands, possibly millions, of galaxies here in this universe. For each galaxy, there is usually at least one, if not more, star powerful enough to support life. Within each solar system, there is at least one planet that has water....so figure that out of the millions of possible planets, there's gotta be at least one that can have sentient life forms. Whether they are the "UFOs" that we see is up for grabs. Yeah, I believe that something happened at Roswell, but I also believe that the military is keeping more than little grey guys away from us. That, however, is an entirely different subject.

Yetis/Sasquatch/Big Foot: I'm divided on this. Part of me says that it's probably a bunch of people going around in oversized feet (like in the cartoons) and making tracks. They want to keep their legend alive for another generation. Another part of me says that they exist, and they have their own rituals for getting rid of the dead. I think there is something out there...that something may be just some guy in a Chewbacca costume, though.

Loch Ness Monster: Same thing as for the Yetis: it is either people keeping the legend alive, or a species that can keep a secret very well.

Ghosts: Ghosts were once people whose spirits didn't go to the afterlife right away or came back to finish some business. Poltergeists are usually harmless, and most are kids. They just clown around. These are Casper-type ghosts. Some are just here because their death wasn't what it seemed or want it to be solved. Others want to warn us and help us with a situation. Then we have ghosts that are out to do bad stuff. They are the ones who caused the "good" ghost's death or want revenge or something. So yeah, I believe in ghosts.

Vampires: I do believe in both kinds. The vampires who are just people who like to drink blood do exist. You either meet them or hear them on radio or television. The undead vampires are out there too. There just aren't that many of them. And all that garbage about garlic and silver crosses? Go watch "John Carpenter's Vampires".

I believe that all of this paranormal, weird stuff does exist...but to a logical limit.

I believe that Big Foot and all the other varations are some kind of ape that science has not discovered.

I do think the Nessie does exist. Just like my thought on Big foot it is just another speices that is not discovered and classified yet.

For ghosts I would have to almost get into my regilion.

Vampires are nothing but, freaks who like to drink blood.

I believe that ghosts are manifested psychic energies from the past. If enough psychic energy collects in one place, it manifests itself to us. It's why ghosts walk through walls, and up invisible staircases. Often, the old building plans show staircases and doors there. I think it's a "recording" of past events.

I think that it's likely that aliens are out there somewhere. Though I dunno if they'd be any more evolved than bacteria-like life. I mean, assuming that space is infinite (which I do), then whatever happened to create life here must've happened elsewhere.

But UFOs, ghosts, etc....no, I don't believe in them. I'm very analytical and skeptical, and don't believe what I hear unless there's some solid evidence.

Actually when I went to school in Arizona we had free lunch and breakfeasts everyday. but thats off the topic.

Well this is something kind of odd, and many of you may not believe me but my uncle moved into this one house, one of the previous owners commited suicide in the basement with a chain tied around his neck. He didn't tell us this when we went there, but every morning at 6:30 AM, something started to rattle(sounded like a chain), me and my sister were curious, but never asked because we thought it was mice or something like that(we were staying inside the basement), but the day we left we decided to ask, and he told us that one of the owners there had committed suicide in the basement at approx. 6:30 AM, and he showed us newspaper clippings of the mans death. It was really creepy, and there was no way our uncle could have snuck in there and rattled a chain.

And this is another one relating to ghosts or whatever you like to call them, my parents were gone, my Dad was in Barrow, and my Mother had gone down to AZ, and since my bro. worked at the Valley Hotel(a very old hotel in the valley, hence the name valley hotel), he set me up in a room there. Well for my night there I heard somebody screaming and yelling all night in the room next to me, and random things were falling in the bathroom( I think that was due to a earthquake though), but anyways I told my brother about the noisy man in the room next to me, and he checked the records of who was staying in that room. Then he looked at me strange and said, "there was nobody there." Again I was creeped out. The manager then told me that there have been various complaints about noisy rooms and nobody actually staying in those rooms, she said there is believed to be three different spirits roaming the Valley Hotel. Allthough I don't really believe her, she always seemed to drink too much.

Sound creepy enough to me! I'd have to say that I like to have facts and a lot of evidence for anything spooky, supernatural,etc. But I do quite beleive that there are things out there in space that we have yet to discover, and that there are many things strange enough about our own planets. Ghosts and unexplained sightings of creatures I can beleive. Field cropping not as easily. I love beleiving in Unicorns and fairies, etc...though really when I think about it I don't think I actually beleive most things along those particular lines do exist...well, maybe unicorns :rolleyes:. When I get right down to it, there are many things that no one has really been able to explain for whatever reason, and although for some people that means disregarding the fact that it could be real and exist, it makes me beleive in it even more.

Field Cropping - as in Crop Circles? I believe they were proven to be fake so your lack of faith in them maybe well founded. I recall several farmers and fakers showing how they were done in the eighties.

Yet, still people refuse to believe that this could be the case with some of the bigger ones.

Despite being shown what they once had thought to be inexpicable was just unexplained, they don't see the parallel with their belief in the larger circles....

No, I don't really believe in aliens, ghosts, strange creatures, crop circles, or anything like that....

And to answer The Guard's question, yes I'm a Christian and I do believe in God. :)

Yet...

I do not believe in anything that is strange unless there is absolute evidence that cannot be overturned in any way. In one word, no.

But I wasn't the one that said that, so you can't really use that against me...

That's surely an unfair question (or should I say, the way you used it :) ), as no one can prove or disprove the existence of that guy.

However, some people who say they have seen a UFO or a Ghost are attempting to offer proof - in the end it comes down to do you believe them? (The answer is, no! :D )
