I still can't believe people believe in ghosts/the paranormal in 2015.
I'm sorry, I thought this was NeoGAF

Not ghosts, but a creepy story. It was posted the other 'Ghost-Age' topic I linked on the previous page. If you've got a spare half an hour I recommend giving this excellent story about a pair of cavers a read: http://www.angelfire.com/trek/caver/page1.html
Yes Ted's caving adventure is one of the best things I've read on the internet. Loved it when I read it like 10 years ago, still love it today
Forgive the very stupid question, but I'm assuming it's meant to be missing the final entry, and it's not a broken link? I was reading it quickly before leaving work and didn't quite give it the time it probably deserved, but then I didn't think it would take so long to read when I started.
ExactlyJust watching Marble Hornets. Creepy stuff; very atmospheric. I'm ten files in so far, but I'm assuming it's meant to be, right?Slenderman

My uncle is a certified ghost hunter.

That started out quite intriguing but was laughably ridiculous by the end. Ted is obviously popping wheelies on a motorcycle made of bullshit.
Edit: Ah... it was always a work of fiction
... how could you think it was anything but fiction?
Twist: he is the ghostany updates ,OP?
But why would they retain the clothing? Makes absolutely no sense.
Here's a famous one. There are experts in photography who have already determined there was no Photoshop going on here because the picture is so old. In b4 matrixing argument.
Here's an experiment for you guys.
But a Ouija board and send your Friend down to a cemetery with a camera. That way you aren't like oh my mind just wants to see it and the person in this video just wants to trick me.
I wasn't at my house since jesus fell off the cross because I have to take care of my parents dog (they are on vacation or something). tbh I'm pretty glad atm to sleep somewhere else..urgh
My grandfather slapped me several times as a child. most of the the time he punched me at the back of my head or he grabbed my arm to toss me around. He was normally a calm person but when he went nuts, he was totally off the wall. He never screamed though or something like that.
He was a true and terrifying patriarch of the family. Everyone feared him and kept distance.
He suffered from polio as a child which scared him for life. He was maybe 5.1f at most and had a huge hunch (from polio). He basicly looked like Quasimodo (minus the face). You would think such a tiny and "crippled" man has no strength but in fact he was strong as hell. He worked for decades as a lumberjack but without anysort of machines or even chainsaws. all by hand.
You want to know how evil he really was? Get this!
One of the cats at our farm had babies. I think 4 or 5. you know, those supersweet kitties with the cute big eyes.
I was playing with the kitties (I was around 10 at the time) when suddenly my grandfather came and blabbed something about the cat mother not being able to care for it's babies. So he grabbed every single one of the kitties and threw(slammed) them, in front of me and my younger brother, repeatedly on the concrete till they died. I will never forget the screams of the baby cats, the blood and their shattered bodies all over the place.
Is that a step above or below a certified bigfoot hunter?
Up hill Battle... Only yay they'll be love is to experience it themselves and even then they'll use a excuse they found after searching the dark corners of science websites.Eyewitness, photo, and video evidence? All worthless. What's left to believe?
When thinking of paranormal phenomenon, it's hard to think of any way proof can be brought forward that is completely convincing. If an entire group of people see a ghost or UFO, then there's immediately people crying, "Oh just group delusion. Its psychology affecting everyone at once. Or it's a big hoax"
If someone takes a photo of said phenomenon, "Oh it's just photoshopped"
You used to be able to think video would surely be enough to convince. But now it's "I can do the same thing with After Effects, etc."
Even so called experts who analyze photo and video can be duped if the fake is good enough.
So what is there left really? What possible evidence can someone share with you that a thing is indeed real, short of inviting you over for tea with Bob the Alien who likes to anal probe people?
If aliens and ghosts are real, personally I think it's only going to have to take something the size of an Independence Day event to convince people.
Pretty much.Eh, I don't believe but they're still fun stories.

Lions are real. People have captured lions into controlled environment, I can walk into a zoo and see one for myself, no one denies the existance of lions.
Why can't a haunted house be turned into a tourist attraction, walk in there and see a ghost for yourself? No one has ever been able to get a ghost to show up and have other people see it on demand.
I want to see a haunted house where I can basically walk in, and have a ghost show up on demand. Not some "ohhh the lights are flickering, ghooooooosts" bullshit.
Yet this seems impossible. I guess ghosts as a whole basically are.
Well, there's two problems with your post. The first is that we actually know HOW to trap a Lion. The second is that ghosts are basically still people and can do what they want when they want like any person, and just aren't going to appear when commanded to like a trained animal.

My grandmother was really into all of this 'weird and wacky' stuff Runes, Crystals, Tarot etc. and was convinced ghosts existed. She promised myself and the other grand kids that when she passed on she'd come and visit us to prove it.
Neither myself or my siblings have had any visits it's been 10 years and counting, so if as you say they are still 'people and can do what they want' why wouldn't she have come back.
Actually why hasn't any spiritualist come back to prove it?
Ah so only camera-shy pranksters are allowed to turn into ghosts, that explains a lot.
I really enjoyed reading this topic. Anyone else got any more ghost stories?
Well yeah, I kind of do, but I'm not sure it qualifies as a ghost story or not....
A friend I went to high school with who grew up just down the road from me had a bizarre experience a little over a year ago. He had just got done eating lunch at his parents house on a Saturday afternoon with his mom and dad, his sister, and his then girlfriend. They were sitting at the kitchen table talking when his dad noticed his sister (my friend's aunt, her name was Tammy) standing in the doorway to the hallway, out of the kitchen. They were all startled to see her, joking that she snuck in. Tammy just smiled and said that she just stopped by to say goodbye, and that she loved them. She waved and turned around and walked down the hallway out of sight. Everyone laughed as they thought she was being funny in a "just got here got to go bye" kind of way, so they asked her back to the table to help clean up leftovers. After a few seconds passed and there wasn't any reply or sound, Sam (my buddy) got up to go see where she walked off to thinking she was just in the living room waiting or something, but they couldn't find her anywhere in the house. The doors and windows were all closed, there wasn't a car outside, it was like she just vanished. His dad called her phone but didn't get any answer.
About two hours later they found out that she had died in a horrible car accident early that morning at roughly the same time they talked to her in the kitchen.
Really fucked up, as they all saw and heard her, and Tammy seemed as real as ever to them. The whole neighborhood talked about it for years afterwards. I know the whole family very well, I even knew his aunt Tammy a bit. Sam and his family are pretty down to Earth people, the dad was a farmer for most of his life.
I have no idea what you would call it though. Mass delusion? A ghost? Mental telepathy? If it was just one person who saw it I'd question it alot more but all of them witnessed this. This coupled with my time at Covatta's is why I firmly believe there is something to "ghosts". Even if it's not dead people walking around or spirits, there is some phenomenon at work here that we still haven't explained.
Sell your soul to the devil... Or at least that what I hear.No one has explained why people get superpowers when they die. I want to be able to explode cupboards n' stuff.

Great story, but what's the bolded part about?
I talked about the haunted restaurant I worked at for many years a few pages back in this thread. "Haunted" in that I can't explain all the crap that used to go on there regularly.
Feeling in the mood for some creepy shit and I'm shortly going to be on my own in the office for a couple of hours. Anyone got any good scary stuff I could read, or scary TV shows/films on YouTube I could watch?
Surprised at the amount of non-believers! I'd say the possibility can always be there, however unlikely.
