Ghosts

For a few weeks before my Granda died he was mostly bed-bound. He kept staring at the bottom of the bed and asking who that boy was with no-one there. He was still mentally aware and had his wits about him, but it freaked me out.

I've had that sleep paralysis thing on a few occasions, weird thing that can really freak you out, the way I'd describe my experience was like an unmovable weight on my chest while in a semi-conscious state on my back in bed, I could hear myself meekly crying out for help.

That kind of thing is very common. It's called the third man syndrome/factor, and is open to both supernatural and natural interpretations:

I've heard many stories of people  dying looking at  or calling someone by name who  have already died.

Opening the window  after someone dies too to let their spirit out.  Some could sense the  restless  spirit in the room if  the spirit is trapped and can't escape , or so I heard it said. How the restless spirit    behaves in that instance  , I don't know

Also, heard many occasions of  a knock at  the door or window, around  the same time  that someone died.

Likely a memorial card salesman.

In the middle of  the night??

Now you mention it , those  sh1tes don't be long sending their memorial card brochures to grieving families. Remember after my dad died , probably within  a few days they had sent stuff to  the house. B@stards.

Also, heard many a story about  an extra pair  of feet being wiped behind the last person  on the mat entering  the house, but nobody is there.  Apparently it's another signal  of a death.

Was going to suggest it would be an interesting one to have a poll about, until I saw there's already one there. Have you all voted? Would be interesting to know the split between believers/non-believers.

I would suggest a third option of not sure

Have heard unexplained knocks and voices. Has a strange correlation to coming off a good weekend on the beer.

Why do people always see hooded figures, or a woman all in white? Why is it never an EMO kid,a milkman, or an old punk rocker?

Have seen comments on other forums that people do see modern day ghosts but because they are contemporary dressed they don't stand out as a ghost. Our minds our conditioned to think ghosts look like they should come from the Victorian era etc and not modern day, and that's why those ghosts are obviously noticed a lot more.

Didn't arch-physicist Prof. Brian Cox I think state that ghosts, if they were a form of energy, couldn't exist, that it was impossible.

Do atheists believe in ghosts?

Because they all go straight to hell when they die.
