Not really no, although I do on occasion wonder about things when I can't find any logical explanation.

I believe in ghosts and magic, to a degree. I think the reason why is that it aligns with my spiritual/religious beliefs. It's more of a 'feeling' than anything logical.

That said, if something is shown to be scientifically true, I'm not going to refute it.

Magic is cool and I believe in it.

Besides,I believe supernatural events. For example, a female student from my school suddenly became raged and attacked anyone like crazy. The girls tried to stop her but she became more aggressive and bite them( not cool ).

Finally, the teachers managed to calm her down and they believed that some spirits had gone into her body.

I don't really believe in that stuff, but I kind of want to, just because it would be so cool. As long as you're not attaching too much meaning to it, the idea of ghosts and whatnot is really fascinating. I've always loved the idea of having any kind of psychic powers (as you might have guessed, lol) but since there has never been any legitimate proof of such existing...well, one can always fantasize, haha.

I don't believe in ghosts, demons alike as I haven't seen them with my own eyes. Bar the obvious depictions from various media. -rolls eyes- Although I would love to see them, really. (:

P.S. I do believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life forms, ironic much, no?

I don't think the two are comparable, unless you believe that fairies are actually from space.

I don't believe in anything supernatural. Because there's no actual evidence for them, and to me it seems the world does everything quite well without them. That does not take away the fact that I'm still afraid that a demon will kill me in my sleep and that I'm convinced my blanket is a strong enough shield to stop it.

It's actually great that you think they are incomparable. (': Some people said I'm contradicting myself for believing the existence of extraterrestrial life and not believing the existence of spirits. -scratches my head-

The difference is that extraterrestrial life is just life like any other, just not on our planet, while the supernatural is the belief in a whole higher form of reality. I'd say one can belief in the one and not in the other without being a hypocrite

Yes, yes I do.

There was one time when I was sleeping on the couch. I opened my eyes and saw someone standing over me in a flannel shirt. It wasn't until later when I realized this to be my dad's brother, and my uncle Larry from a picture of him. I think that he was checking on me possibly to see how I've grown or something.

There was another time when we went to this old state prison. It was defunct and turned into a museum. Well, there was this room called the Dark Cell. I went in there and became overwhelmed the whole time there. I could feel so much energy from the place. I don't usually feel that during the daytime either, so it was weird. My parents were also there, and I usually don't feel like that if they are near. :c

I also have a strong connection to my grandfather. There are times when I can actually feel his presence. My mom always told me that he could be sitting right beside me, and I wouldn't know. He passed away when I was still very, very young... but I feel as though I've known him my whole life. He's actually saved me once when I flipped over my bike and fell down the stairs once. I could have cracked my head open from falling down those stairs or ended up critically hurt (it was a pretty long flight of them), but I came out with only a rug burn on my stomach... coincidence? By the way, the stairs had a rug material covering them.

So yeah, I have a strong belief in the paranormal. I was reluctant to post here because of the amount of non-believers, but I figured I would anyway. *shrug*

Believe what you want to believe. You weren't in my shoes.

Sure, I believe. Ghosts, God, magic.. the afterlife.

Everything is energy, that's just a fact. Energy lingers, fluctuates, changes, can be measured, and sometimes even grows. Who's to say that the energy making up our world can't be manipulated, or that it can't linger after death. I've personally experienced more than enough 'supernatural' things in my life to know that there's a lot more to it than just what we usually see.

And it's really really cool.

Though I'm an atheist for a few reasons, I oddly don't disagree with the idea of other non-regular beings existing among us, I mean

To be honest I prefer the idea of that you turn into a ghost and then can just haunt around wherever you want much better than getting sent to hell or heaven after death, or anything else really

It'd also explain why I once found myself waking up on the couch when I clearly went to bed the day before so I'm at least 3% sure that supernatural thingimajis are out there probably

I don't believe in the existence of magic, or of any particular God, though they do allow for really fascinating discussions concerning the nature of reality etc. Universe's point about energy basically speaks for how I view the world - I've always thought that all energy in the body is simply transferred to other processes when life ends. I don't mean anything as grand as an afterlife, but more like a redistribution of the energy and elements that make up who we are?

I don't know, considering that it's grounded in reality and doesn't rely on objectively unrealistic claims, it's always just made a lot more sense to me.

Not at all. I have to suppress an eye roll whenever people start talking about things like that seriously, tbh. There are a few people in my family who are really into that stuff, talk about having the exact same dreams as other people on the same nights when they're in different states, stuff like that and it's just... lol.

I suppose I should insert my own opinion since I've created this thread -

I agree with Universe in this regard, especially that since everything is made of energy, there's so many possibilities. Magic, complex patterns of energy or otherwise spirits and ghosts, deities - I personally believe in things like that. I've heard so many stories from people who've experienced supernatural things first hand, over and over, and even have had my own experiences - I guess I'm a bit superstitious haha. But still, I just find that kind of metaphysical aspect of reality all very fascinating, you know?

But that's just my thought on the matter and isn't meant in any way to challenge whatever you might believe. uwu

Even the simplistic empiricism of a two year old would say no unless constantly disposed to the great conventional sophistries (not the word I want to use but can't find a better one) of society. Sadly, many of us are and will never know it. Were I never exposed to spirituality, I would have no concept of it, since it isn't relevant to reality or useful for my understanding of anything in any way.

Please, I don't want to sound condescending and I'm afraid I probably can't help you in this endeavour, but I would implore you to learn what energy actually is, and generally how the universe actually works. It is all far, far from mysterious or mystical in any way.

And that's okay! The unnecessary sarcasm and mockery aside, spirituality isn't necessary in being a part of this world whatsoever or in trying to understand it. :)
However, I'd disagree on the mystery in our universe - there are plenty of things unexplainable in our existence and I don't think its a worthless or irrelevant pursuit at all in trying to explore these parts of our vast world and space.
These are all matters of opinions however, so I'm not sure as to why you'd find it necessary to address any of these expressed views with an approach in trying to prove absolutely anything or anyone correct or wrong - especially when things like spirituality are subjective in the first place.

I've never experienced anything supernatural, I'm an atheist, and I don't believe in ghosts or magic. Although I do believe that there may be a possibility that some form of ghosts exist, as there is so many alleged ghost sightings. As well as the possibility of aliens from outer space and things like psychic powers. Now, I don't think aliens are watching us now (although I do believe in the existence of life on other planets) or that there are actual psychics out there or that someone's spirit could actually exist and haunt an area, but I try to be open-minded about it as there is so much still unknown about the universe.

I haven't intentionally been sarcastic or mocking. Brash, though, probably. My comment on "the empiricism of a two year old" is literal; maybe I shouldn't have started it with "even".

That may be interesting, if you can tell me what some of these things are.

Pardon me, I know you weren't talking to me but I wanted to point out a couple things on the matter that are still a mystery to humanity.

1: The origins of life on earth.

2: Whether or not there's a way to travel faster then light to reach other planets in other solar systems.

3: Whether or not there is a forth dimension.

4: We don't know if time travel is possible.

5: We don't know if the universe had a creator or a big bang or even if it had a real beginning before time and space.

6: And we don't know what really happens after death.

These are some if the unexplained mysteries of the universe. I agree with you on the matter of the whole 'energy' thing, but there's more to the universe then what we know. I'm not saying it's all mystical, and I'm not a spiritual person, and I know we're come a long way as a race delving into the truths of it all, but it's very likely that our discoveries are far from over.
