Do You Believe In Ghosts?
Cats: Most Popular, Paranormal, Uncategorized|There are people who do not believe in ghosts, but they admit having seen them. I found a social network that focuses on the Paranormal and UFO sightings. Are they the same thing? Even if you are not a 100% fan of the paranormal, there is a lot of information on these sites for writers.
There are things that modern scientists can’t explain. The Social Network about Paranormal and UFO is working to bring together everyone who has an interest in or knowledge to share on the topic.
I was on the site reading about the shadow people (black ghosts). It amazes me that I get the same reports from people all around the world. It is hard to ignore the information. I think Tina combined two different types of entities. She did forget one explanation - a power source that bends light.
I like her report - I just wish she were talking about something she has experienced. I’ve talked to several people who have real experiences and seen real things. I find amazing stories within the realm of the paranormal. Like they say ‘truth’ (even one person’s) is stranger than fiction.
So, if you are curious? A shadow person is ‘most reportedly’ a dark human like shape without form or defining factors. It seriously does look like light is being bent. I’ve never had anyone say they move - or have any explanation for them being there. The people I’ve talked to do not see them out of the corner of their eye - or see them briefly. One person has seen them for several minutes, always in the same room. Do you have a story to share?

Ok, you’re freaking me out. LOL. Seriously, I have seen and experienced a lot of bizarre things that make my arm hairs rise just recalling them. I dabbled a lot with Ouija boards in my teen years and love getting scared out of my wits with a good horror or thriller movie.
Scary books I cannot manage because they become so vivid to me that I can’t finish them or shake the images in my head. I guess that’s the sign of a good horror novelist. I got so freaked out reading Stephen King’s “It” that I couldn’t read it. I tried four times to get past the first 30 pages and gave up. I watched the movie without a problem a year later but the book petrified me to my core and created Coulrophobia in me.
Anyway, I started a horror novel once about fifteen years ago about a haunted house and put it aside. Checking out your source above might ignite my fire to pick it up again or dabble with something new.

I am the same. I LOVE Kenneth Branagh’s version of Frankenstien (movie). But I have to curl up with hubby and watch it from under a blanket.
De Niro was a perfect monster. I think that everyone has experienced things - we just don’t admit it.

Oh, yes, I believe in ghosts. I’ve had a first hand experience with the ghost of my brother. I didn’t see his spirit, but I felt him guiding me, telling me where to find him. I wrote about the experience in the anthology Mamma Mia: Good Italian Girls Talk Back. The short story is called Down Three Steps.

I most certainly believe in ghosts. I’ve had several occasions where I’ve smelled a man’s cologne with no known source for it. I’ve experimented with a Ouija board, too, and had quite an experience. I just don’t know how anyone can NOT believe - there are so many dimensions of space and time. It’s utterly fascinating. Although I don’t write paranormals, I tend to always have ghosts show up in my books as tertiary characters!
