Yes,from early childhood. As did all the women in my family. I used to answer the phone before it rang often. I thought everyone could do this until I went to school and found out otherwise. I have had many other experiences that leave me with no doubt.

Kind Of !!!... But I also believe that you can spook yourself!! too?? ... have you ever had a moment of something's brushed past you Or the touch of your hair??? I know right.!!?? Yuupp GO FIGURE 🤨

For myself I've never been much on paranormal ghost and spirits, but my son which is grown already 40 ,has his own paranormal ghost hunting thing him and his friends they have equipment for hunting spirits goes every where ,has his own website ,I just don't know

no noooooooooooooooooooo

Paranormal is real without a doubt. I have premonitions but not the clarity to see exactly what will happen. I woke in the night to a dream of my Mother being tossed every which way. When I called to check on her, she was in a terrible accident that happened at the exact time I dreamed it. I told my brother in law not to go to the river one day and he did not believe me. His car broke down just outside of town and had to be towed home. Disbelievers have to have it happen to them before they change their minds. I don't waste time arguing with them.

I believe it, once I saw the lady who has passed away who used to live here. It was something I was not afraid of, but interesting.

Yes I do believe in it. I myself have seen and had many experiences with the unexplainable from a child up to even now. I tune into it very well

Paranormal is real. There are a lot of non believers who think of unexplained phanonminon and try to scientifically prove an explanation. And there are people who are linked between realms that was passed on through heritage. These people may be able to see speak or feel spirts. It's all in your belief. For instance take God for example many people believe in him as if you were physically able to see him feel him and conversate with him but the reality of it is simple. He is there in our beliefs. In our faith hes is not evil or scary but he is not tangible as you and I are. If you believe in ur heart that there is an after life then you are one of those that believe in spirits if you believe that there is a creator but not spirits then what are you manifesting in ur head contradicts each other I guess thats for you to decide. What are you a true believer or a scientific theory kind of person. Edited 20-Aug-24 03:50am

If you are really attentive to what is going on around (and behind) you you might be surprised how often things don't always make sense...looking up occasionally is how you notice UFOs..(my entire family has seen them at least 2 or 3 times now)...if reality is there at all ....we only have a limited grasp on what is going on....we have terrible vision, pathetic sense of smell and brains that make up for the gaps and lie to you...nah..that didn't happen...you didn't smell that..there couldn't have been someone there...that person hasn't just walked past me twice...that car was always red...with at least eight or 9 alternative realities operating together as well..(which is what quantum physics needs to exist apparently) it is amazing that we can make sense of any of it... ...and we have ghosts and some very nasty other visitors wandering around too just to make things more interesting.... I've experienced plenty of weird stuff...including 4 possessed houses...one of which was not by anything human..took part in an exorcism that actually worked...so yes..I suspect that all of that is very real... and there is loads more out there that most of us have no idea about....

I believe it

I occasionally see shadows moving on the deck and think floaters In my eyes but since I got my two new cats I’m thinking Spoooky!!!! because they both jump up and my Coco glowls. So …..they can stay on the deck, I’ll be inside…….lol

I absolutely believe that peoples passed spirits are around and have had things happen that no one can explain.

I’ve had two encounters with a spirit or angel (?) one in the late ‘80s and again in 2016. I try believing I only imagined them but, well…the event in 2016, I totaled my car, I hadn’t a scratch on myself.

Something in between. I sometimes I get messages prior to that same thing happening it’s fleeting & just seems to run through my head . & it happens. That’s all

I had a friend that died and I kept his dog .. always loved the dog . I had organised for a puppy of my own.. had the puppy about a week when things started to happen…. His dog wagged her tail and looked at the wall , puppy was so frightened he was trying to hide behind me .. I think my friend was making sure I was looking after his dog .. I really do .. ..

I am a skeptic, But have had a couple of things happen that were certainly extra sensory

I believe in spirits but not paranormal really

Had a dog once who used to stare ar our Nan's chair after she passed, and then wag his tail, but wouldnt venture into the room. animals see things we dont, though we might sense them. Never upset us, used to say Hi, you scaring the dog again.Edited 25-Feb-24 22:06pm

What alot of rot

I believe I can definitely fer and see things. I have an ability to know when things are happening, even when others haven't told me they were. I don't understand it always, but I embrace it.

yes I do as I believe that the energy which is the essence of life never dies but changes form. Maybe this in some way is paranormal activity.

I absolutely believe in the paranormal. Had many experiences in the family home I grew up in.

I believe in the paranormal I am sensitive myself I have my own experiences and wake up during witches hour I can't see but I can sense spirits I can't go to a cemetery in dusk because I feel to many spirits and not all of them are good

To me the new "normal" is paranormal. The world is slowly sinking in so much misinformation and bullshit that nothing these days surprises me!

666

There is definitely life after death. I've experienced many paranormal episodes and seem to some how attract them, I see and hear and sense if they are around. Not all go to the light. Some have unfinished business and prefer to hang around.

There is certainly paranormal activity and mostly it's evil. If it says it's your mother, father, sister etc. be warned it's evil because there are evil spirits out there, but they do need an invitation. I watched a doco on Stephen King and it surprised me. He is a Catholic and very well aware of the difference between supernatural and paranormal activity. He says supernatural activity is demonic while paranormal is your ability to move things, shape things or sense things. I guess the rule is if you can speak to it or it speaks to you it's demonic while wishing the phone will ring is your thought waves.

As a child I experienced strange, mostly frightening things at home but never told anyone. I was glad to move out from the family home and the ghost didn’t move with me!

I find believe

Yes, I have had a number of experiences over the years, especially in my job as a cleaner working in different businesses, including hospitals, hotels, banks and schools. I was always able to instantly pick it up if there was an unseen presence in a building. I didn't need anyone to tell me if a place was haunted. In every case I have maintained a 'if-you-don't-bother-it-then-it-won't-bother-you' attitude, which for the most part has worked. There have only been a couple of cases where the presence was a nasty pasty. Most memorable was when I was cleaning the local hospital, and I worked a 2-hour shift in the afternoons in the community health service building to the side of the actual hospital. There was a particular corridor there that I always made a point of cleaning while there were still some staff around, as there was a very evil and heavy presence loitering there. I cleaned the toilet block at the end of that corridor one night when no one was around and someone kept knocking on the door while I was in there. It was not my imagination, but there was never anyone there when I looked. I also had the feeling of having a presence I could not see also virtually 'breathing down my neck' everywhere I went. I couldn't get out of the building quickly enough at the end of the shift, and even in the car on the way home I felt like a nervous wreck. When I got home I obviously looked white because a friend who was there asked if I was okay, to which I burst into tears. I found out later from my mother-in-law that the particular corridor in question was where the town's morgue used to be located some years before! I think that might explain a lot.Edited 25-Feb-24 17:39pm

Yes, I believe in it. We moved into an old house 6 years ago & something felt odd from the beginning, not a bad odd just spooky. Then every now and then someone would whisper in a muffled voice in my ear but I would turn around & nobody was in the room with me. It didn't seem evil at all, just weird. Then one night my bedroom door was open and my son walked past my room and down the hallway. I called out to him & when he didn't reply I followed him to the lounge but when I got there he was not in the room. I ran back up the hallway to find him in his bedroom. It wasn't him that I followed and he hadn't left his room at all. That scared me but when I calmed down I realised it was not a a threatening thing in the house. We call him Harry & he doesn't bother us but the cat is not too keen on him.

Yes I do believe. My grandpa was checking on me at times when I was in late teens. I never saw him but felt his presence. It freaked me out at first to be honest. Turns out my mum had seen him a few times too. I saw my brother's dog in the lounge for a couple of seconds. She sniffed me, wagged her tail and was gone.

My house was built on what used to be the neighbours veggie garden in one of the oldest streets in town. After moving in both my son and me would hear a strange rustling noise late at night. As soon as I turned a light on to check it would stop. I would come home from work to the TV on and the kettle boiling. One Friday night I happened to walk into the spare bedroom and noticed something very strange happening out in the street. There was a group of people being led down the street buy a guy in a long dark coat holding an old fashioned oil lamp. It turned out that when this town was originally settled people would bury their dead in their gardens, hence the ghost walks down my street. After weeks of sleepless nights it was suggested that I try to tell the (lady with big old petticoats swishing as she walked) that I was happy to share my house with her and that we were not there to hurt her, but if she could sleep when we were it would be much appreciated. 23 years later she still lets me know she is around. So I am a believer.

It all depends on what it is. I believe miscarring a child they are with you

I had a friend who lived just outside of Perth in Australia on a fairly big property. She told me that once a big UFO with flashing lights landed on her property. She saw unusual looking people get out and look around then got back in and a few minutes later it left. She found evidence the next day where it looked like something had landed - several things tipped over etc. I personally did not believe it - but the evidence in the paddock was there. Edited 25-Feb-24 15:25pm

Absolutely believe it..

I'm on the fence for this one. I've had a few unexplainable things happen over the years but it doesn't bother me either way, if it's true so be it

Don't believe in it, but entertain me.

I don't believe in any of that rubbish, it's just peoples' minds, mostly, playing tricks on them.

Yes , I do believe in good and bad spirits among us. When I was younger in my teens I was sleeping in my bed with my door open a bit.I had my closet door open which was on my right side and I saw that closet door closing and I saw a figure looking at me and I couldn't move at all .Shortly after my bedroom door slammed shut and the windows curtains was moving outside the window which was opened as well .

Yes and I do not know the answer to your second question but I quite often hear my now dead Great Dane walking the house to make sure everything is safe. It can not be any one of the 3 current ones we have because they are all curled up on beds sleeping but Jack had a distinctive walk mainly because you could not trim his nails and you can never mistake that walk. He's just looking in to make sure everything is OK and doesn't make a nuisance of himself

Yes, I believe there are good and bad spirits Living in this world with us. When I was younger, I used to feel someone sitting on our couch beside me, but I couldn't see who it was. Also, I used to smell cigarette smoke. when there was know one around sometimes, I could smell perfume that I wasn't wearing. When my daughter died, I could feel her with me.Just the other day a friend came for a visit she said to me Oh!! I thought I saw a black cat walking behind you we don't have a black cat anymore, but we used too she passed away about seven years ago. I said maybe that's my cat that passed away. Maybe she has never left me.I used to feel. and see things. that weren't really there these days i don't ,proberly because I get frightened.

a friend once had surgery on his stomach. during the operation the doctor called out loud,QUICK we are losing him.seems he was alergic to the anesthetic.he survived and next day doctor checked on him.Alf told him exactly everything that happened and what was said by all in the room.he also describes who was standing where and doctor was amazed at this Edited 28-Aug-24 14:03pm

Nah!

I knew a lady that lived in a haunted house and her ghost was a little girl and she would move things. Was a little frustrating for the family friend because she would put her book down she was reading to do some thing like answer the phone and her book would be gone to say the other side of the room. A cheeky ghost she had. When my Pa died I had a smell I couldn't explain and it followed me around but then it faded and was gone. I was pregnant with my second child when that had happened and I had an overwhelming feeling my baby was healthy and every thing was going to be fine. Pity I had no picture for the rest of my story as I would have done things a lot different if I had. Some believe and others don't so I guess it is up to the person and wether they are open to that sort of thing.

I have no religious beliefs, do not believe in the existence of some other-worldy being we give a name such as Jahweh, Allah, God, Deus etc. to. If there were such a being, as we are taught as children and it is still bandied about amongst adults, a being whom we are told is Omniscient, Omnipotent, All-Seeing, All-Hearing, All-Knowing, All Powerful - use whichever terms to describe he/she/it as you wish - then why does this being allow people like Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung and all the other despots down the millenia to do what they did and still do today? This has been explained by some when they tell us tat this being when it created us gave us Free Will. It is so powerful it has the power to take Free Will away from us, it has the power to strike them all dead, it had, and still has, the power to stop the Murder of 6.4 million followers of Judaism, the other 7.3 million who were also exterminated in those Death Camps set up by Hitler, to stop the reported murder by Stalin of 25 million Russians and citizens of the old USSR. Today's Dictators, be they Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Cuban, the Taliban, ISIS, the likes of Netanyahu, Hamas would not be able to do what they are doing today. Yet people today still believe that this being will come to their aid, despite the fact that it has never actually done so in the past.Edited 25-Feb-24 12:37pm

Sorry, no. Everything that goes on in your mind (that's where all this stuff lives, isn't it?) is controlled by chemicals. The interaction of these chemicals is what helps us recall events from both our live memory and our imagination as well as all kinds of combinations and permutations. I've been visited by "phantoms" periodically for many years. It's always someone I have actually known. Sometimes the 'vision' is very frightening and other times the encounter is quite calming. Fortunately for me, I know these things are just brain inventions and wo't cause me any harm (except a few skipped heart beats).Edited 25-Feb-24 12:35pm

Yes I do, bad and good. I have had a few people I loved in life pass, and pets…occasionally I feel them around me. I think there is no real explanation for things we don’t understand

I absolutely believe there is far more than humankind can understand. I have come to the conclusion that religion is something that man created. While much of the Bible is true, it was written by men who each one had a different version of what they experienced and believed. Also, at that time, we have to realize that women were little more than property so they are not honored in the Bible which I think was man's doing--not God's! The principles are all good and give us a good guide to righteous living, but the details are contradicted. To me, those details don't really matter. It's the overall message of love and how we should live a good life with love for God, ourselves and everyone because we are all part of the divine God who created us. Some people are more sensitive, and i think I could be if I had some guidance, but I'm not sure I want to know everything or that God wants us to know everything. If He had wanted us to know all the answers, He would have told us. However, there would be no room for faith if we knew all the answers. By keeping secrets from us, enables us to believe because of our own will and to learn from life how to be better souls. He wants us to love Him without Him presenting Himself in such an obvious manner. To me, it is obvious that God exists, but too many others refuse to see! The signs are everywhere, and once you believe, your life is so much better, and you are so much happy with love in your heart. I have experienced some paranormal activity, but it didn't seem to really affect me like I thought it would. My ex-boyfriend's house was haunted, I'm sure. At night, it sounded like empty cardboard boxes being thrown around. Then, one night I heard the same sounds coming from the living room. I had one foot on the floor to go look. Then I decided that I didn't want to see what I might see and put myself back into the bed! Then one day I saw a woman in the house, and when I saw her she went around the corner. There was no way out of the house without us hearing her. No one was there, but she was as solid as a real person. The odd thing is that the dog and I were asleep on the couch, and the dog had gotten awake and was looking at this entity also. The dog did not react to any of this. I'm still confused about what happens when we die. Mediums say our loved ones are in heaven, but ghost hunters talk to them in the cemeteries, and they say they are sad, scared and stuck! Also, mediums say there is no hell. We just reincarnate to learn what we didn't learn in this lifetime. The pieces of the puzzle don't fit together. Are they speaking to loved ones or demons! I do believe that demons exist so there is probably a hell. There is an opposite for everything. My friend believes that aliens are demons. That I'm not sure of. It makes sense to me that we would not be the only beings. I do believe that the world is currently going through a big change, but I'm 71, and may not see what's coming. Sometimes I think that the world has been destroyed perhaps several times over the eons, and we've started over again to evolve. How else do you explain the technology that has been found from eons ago! I believe that life will never end but will go on and on in one way or another.

Yes

sometimes its those mischevious faeries.. ;)

Great question !

It exists... Things move,toys make noice,objects fly and black shadows are out there. They fees of are negative and scared energy.

There are realms and principalities out there...Best left alone i think...

No I do not believe in this

some people of more of a second sense to these things. i don't dismiss them at all but there are those who use this as a way to make money out of those who are in desperate need of comfort

Yes, I do. Am very psychic and sometimes pray that I would not feel any foreboding events... a bit unsettling sometimes.

Seems to be that more people believe than not believe. For me, I have witnessed things and am left with no other option than to state, yes I do believe.

😵

Yes have had my passing Dad hug me so tight I had to wake up for him to let me go and he has spoken to me in one word Hello during the day . He had a huge shock when he died and it was unexpected but I was there to support him .

Yes. I have had quite a few experiences. Each different. One was a few years ago,I accidentally fell asleep face down. ( dangerous for people with Narcolypsy ). I heard a woman's voice telling me I had to get up.I couldn't move. I felt heavy and so tired. I asked her name and if she could help me. She said her name was" Announci 77" and lifted me up. I looked down and saw my body on the bed. After returning to my body ( which felt strange) I eventually was able to move ,with her insistence and got up. Huge headache,dizzy,and tired,and she was gone. I remember her name,tried to look it up on name lists( none came close). After an hour of searching I gave up and just googled the word Announci. 1 reference came up as an old Latin word for an angel/ herald. I consider myself lucky regardless of who / what she was,probably saved my life as I would have suffocated if I stayed laying where I was.

NO.

I'm a big believer and I find this topic very interesting I've seen things and things happen in my home and in photos

Vanessa I do believe in paranormal activity.

Yes I believe in it and yes I have experienced it.

Yes I do believe in paranormal activity. And have experienced it in the past.

Maybe there is something out there my son did not believe but he slept over his now wife parents place and things happen over there he cant explain heard running up and down the stairs and drawers opening he did not stay there again

There is certainly something

My mom passed away last September and I can still feel her presence in the house that we shared.

I have seen a few things, people, pets. Most corroborated by others with me at the time. I've also had a few Very beloved pets pass over the recent years, that I can feel 'jump' into bed and walk across me, as they normally did. All current pets were accounted for at these times!Edited 25-Feb-24 09:11am

in the immortal words of Davey Jones ,im a believer, and have had quite a few encounters, i was cleaning a hotel on my own and I heard footsteps [multiple] on the above floor, I originally thought I had burglars so I locked the door and set the alarm, but it didn't go off, so I resumed cleaning only for it to happen again, so I called the police and locked the door they were there in under a minute and searched the building found nothing red faced I apologized only to resume cleaning for it to happen again, I have glasses fall of shelves as well as people or shadows stating in the park just staring at me for hours not moving, only to find the park previously was a cemetery and the building where I would here footsteps was a morgue converted in the front bar, i stayed for 2 years but it got the better of me

I have had a couple of occassions where no logical explanation exists

Some people have very overactive imaginations.

Only true believers see these things and those who have no reason to doubt what they are seeing. That is why children often say they have seen something or perhaps feel it was a dream they were experiencing. I have no proof either way for a 'for' or 'against' - so I would never discount what someone else believes to be true.

My ex partner use to have entities visit her in our bedroom while she slept. One was a very angry man that would scream at her, one was a dog and her friend that passed in her 30s from the flu well before covid. The angry man got so bad for her we had to sage the house and then all was well.

things happen for a reason ..............Edited 25-Feb-24 08:16am

I regularly have conversations with departed relatives but that is not necessarily paranormal.

I haven't seen anything but my mother speaks to my sometimes when I am asleep she passed away last July

hi pamela...

You live and then die so love life and yourself and others.

Yes! A mischievous spirit likes to move and hide things. Once in a while you can feel a presence but nothing bad.

Yes, I don't think that I have experienced this myself. But have heard many stories of spirits being encountered. Some people definitely have a special gift for spiritual encounters. I feel that it is not related to religion or fantasy but in a space on its own

It's all just a load of nonsense and in many cases a greedy scam.

Some people are more sensitive than others. All people are different. When My aunts husband died and any photo with trees in it, you could see her husband.

I seeeee dead people

YES, I BELIEVE...!!!

My partner of 24 years passed suddenly on the 30th January. We had him lying in state at home and a fantail flittered outside the window behind him. Two weeks later a fantail flew into the lounge and sat on the ceiling pendant and continued to follow me throughout the house as I opened all the doors and windows to let it out. It wasn't frantic or chirping, I sat down back down in the lounge, said thank you and it flew in front of my face and then left. Being Maori it is meant to bring news of an upcoming death but my mum who's 75 said it was my partner visiting and regard it as a blessing. So I looked it up and the first article I clicked on was written by a person called Stewart (his name), later that day our son got the mail and there was an envelope addressed to him with a $200 grocery voucher and no return address. Probably a logical explanation but I like the idea that it's him and not conincidental.

I did experience paranormal activity when I was younger because I was living in historic apartment at time. When I put something on the table than the next thing it disappeared in which I never see the object again.

There can be supernatural activities that are truly happening in this world. Sometimes may be humans cannot understand or analyse them. I have a feeling that weekminds more or less experience such events collaboratively with their own fantasies. The strong minded people not very much interested in collecting such fantasy in their heads, therefore they don't tend to experience such unnatural events either part of religious beliefs or otherwise. 😆

As humans develop we will gain mental abilities that will allow thoughts to interact with other humans.

Scary thoughts. . .I don't believe. . .

The Bible tells us that Satan, the Devil, was "hurled down to the earth", and 1/3 of the demon angels were cast down with him! (Revelation 12: 7-12) If you ever 'acquire' an item second hand, and things get 'weird', get rid of it! Believe! There are Demons here on earth trying to turn us away from Almighty God, but their time is short, so they are getting desperate because they know! ;-D (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!) Revelation 20:1-10; 21:1-4 has a Happy Ending! ;-D Edited 25-Feb-24 05:04am

GET REAL

oh paranormal activity hey bit like the surveys on here then .....disappear before you even get chance to enter with no logical explanation

I believe in paranormal activity as I have experienced it 13 years ago with a witness next to me in a broad daylight at outdoor public place. This occasion could not be explained by science.

Could be just a dream

I've definitely experienced it in my life, it makes your hair stand up and go cold for a second... But I like when it happens, it's so rare and it leaves the impression there's more to life than what we see

Paranormal is an odd word but we all know what it describes. The practice of anything spiritual is a paranormal experience as it happens and is experienced on a different plane of existence. Certainly some phenomena can be explained but there are always those that cannot. As long as humans have existed there have always been gifted people who can commune with those in the spiritual realm, some good and some evil. These would include our prophets and our wiccans. To deny the paranormal in my opinion is a little arrogant and closed minded but each to their own. We had a witch dr in our family and he was keen to pass his gift down to my grandfather but he humbly declined it, preferring instead to heal people the western way. I feel he recieved a curse that day which was that his name would die with his sons. A century later that curse still stands.

No I do not believe in this

NO
