Raziel
Yes, its a poll...
dust19
I vote OTHER and am filling in RODS! I hate those things! They AREN'T REAL!
Raziel
Really? I thought rods were actually quite believeable.

Although i can't believe nobody has ever found a dead one though...

Weird.
MooseMan

priceless quote that is.

And Raziel, I posted a link a bit ago to a website that showed in depth how RODS are created, with insects, and a video camera.
djdodo
Well ... as I said before ... I believe in everything wink.gif
But anyway ... the least one is defenetly the chocakapra unsure.gif
They seem ... amm ... just not real ... or not there ... I don't know how to explain how I see it ... but they are just not that common as the others ... original.gif
TheOracle
I vote "Other". Rods and Crop Circles I find really hard to believe in.
djdodo
Yeah that is write ((TO)) ... I forgot about croup circles wink.gif
I think they are not real .. it is just created by people to foll other poeple ... blink.gif
Anirbas
Hm well I find it hard to believe in all of the so called Virgin Mary sightings! I think that a lot of the time they are blown way out of proportion and a mole hill is made to be a mountian. Furthermore one should not be looking for Mary but for God - but I will stop there cause thats a whole nother post!
uranium101
i least believe in the thunerbird, i mean, c'mon people!!!
Raziel
Yeah, thats what i voted for. They are just so lame. huh.gif
Sageghost
Thunderbird was my vote - although I don't understand why they call them that. Whay don't they just call them pteradacytls?
mandyistheshiznit
I voted for thunderbird, it seems like if they were real, they'd just be like any old bird..... huh.gif

Except like, 20ft wingspan, no feathers and...well...need i go there? whistling.gif
AlienSama
i dont believe in stuff like the moth man, and the creature from blue lagoon type creatures. those are all bull sh*t , people just make up stories and base them from
books. But to make it seem more real. I believe in ghosts and aliens and stuff though. But creatures like that? LMAO!
mandyistheshiznit
huh.gif oh sorry, any old bird with a 20 ft wingspan and no feathers..... huh.gif

I tend to think that all of those in the poll are plausible. For example those that we each beleive in, we believe due to personal reasons. So if we each had a personal encounter or claim for each of them (not claim WE do, but some have) then why can't they plausible.?

I can't prove none of them don't exist, yet i've read countless examples and stories of people who have encountered each of the above... including Thunderbirds and Chupacabra's.... very few of them might i add have ever said anything about the thunderbird being featherless.

Rods I must admit is the least beleivable as all accounts i've read about have been disprovin by trickery.

I believe our world holds more mysteries than we could ever imagine. Some will remain a mystery while others will hopefully someday come to light.

Till then... i can't disprove any of them... just as i can't disprove anyones GOD. Yet most of us believe is some higher power even though we can't prove it. So i'll give them all the benefit of the doubt.

Rods and orbs....................RUBBISH !!

ph34r.gif I don't believe in Jon Edwards. What a flake.

I'd also like to say the Virgin Mary sightings. I mean, come on! Where did they claim to see them? On windows or something?! Sure, the first one might have been real, or maybe the person who saw it was too drunk, I dunno. But as soon as you see that crap on tv, other people think It'll be fun to get the press at their house sayin' "Here's another report of the Virgin Mary being seen here and there". Also, the Tooth Fairy is less believable laugh.gif but still, it's plain ridiculous what people will say to get themselves on tv.
Sukato-San
And what the hell is with the little translucent spheres in "ghost pictures"? Aren't those just reflections of light? And what is a thunderbird? huh.gif
PurpleStuart
100% with Crosis there Rods and Orbs, both are complete drivel
PurpleStuart
odd that - out of the list above so far Sea Monsters have been voted the most believable!
GhostShark
Aliens and Ghosts/Demons are easily believable since the Universe is so big and Earth is so undiscovered....
Chupacabra could easily exist as for the thunderbirds i voted for them since where would they hide(caves im guessing) and i bet if anything exists it would be a flock of pteradons or pteradactyls that some how survived the massive extinction which killed dinosaurs....
Sea monsters are also believable to me since about 3/4s of the world is water and not even 1/4 of that is known to man...

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone seeing a rod or an orb without the aid of a camera, so I figure it's something with the equipment, and these people just don't want to admit that what they caught on film was a flying insect or a trick of light.
PurpleStuart
snuffypuffer: i have many photos in which 'Orbs' have appeared which i have taken and each time it's just dust close up on the flash.
Althalus
another thing with orbs is that they are supposed to be able to be taken with a cheap digital camera, but I have a very cheap one £50 with flash built in. I have never had any orbs appear on it.
PurpleStuart
ahh, you should take more photos in dusty areas grin2.gif

hang on, saying that, thats well worth an experiment - seeing if you can 'create' orb photos using flash photography after creating dust by, say, shaking a carpet or something and seeing how that compares to so called 'orb' pictures.

I've also heard people say that orbs are created by digital camera's but i don't think thats the case - all my photos with orbs in them have been taken on film. i think the requisit is lowlight and a flash.
uranium101
good idea. laugh.gif

That's what I was thinking, other than something in the equipment. I read on a parapsychology site that digital cameras were really bad for taking ghost pictures, because they'd nearly always come up with orbs of some kind. something to do with the pixellation I think. If you want I'll try to find the link.
PurpleStuart
i've also read that before - i'm not too convinced mind you as i mentioned above.
snuffypuffer
I think it's best summed up that neither one of us puts any stock in orbs.
PurpleStuart
agreed

I voted for the ThunderBird. Although there are a few others that I don't believe in also, like the moth man, that was mentioned earlier.

uranium101
that mothman story was really wierd....
Libidinous Scourge
well i voted demons! i mean c'mon, demons (and angels) are much less believable than the others!
uranium101
says whom?
Kaj
To belive is one thing..not to know another....to know the third.
thepsychoticseaotter
Aliens...sorry but those things have been too hard to proove all the evidence is loopy for the most part. And If they do those little grey things are not here for our health.
tendo

I find ghosts the least believable. I've done several personal investigations of "haunted" areas in my state and I've never come across anything I would consider hard proof for the existence of ghosts.

Besides the obvious hoaxes, some of the evidence I was shown turned out to be laughable: reoccurring blood stains on a wall was rust from an old pipe, the voices in an old cellar were the result of a rose bush being brushed against a vent by the wind, some mysterious floating orbs were simply the reflections of headlights from cars crossing a bridge two blocks away (I won't go into the photographs I've seen). Yet, people are still convinced that ghosts were somehow resposible for all this.

I believe most ghost sightings are the result of people's imagination. Several years ago, three of my friends and I were walking at night through an old prisoner transfer facility that had been closed down and was due to be demolished (BTW, I really don't recommend snooping around in any condemned building). Naturally, the rumor was that the building was haunted, even though no one had ever died there. After walking the length of the first floor hall, we went into what looked like an administration room. There was debris all over the floor and, in the darkness, I stumbled on a 4 x 4 piece of lumber, which then knocked over an old sheet of plywood. Before I could say anything my friends ran screaming out the building. I walked out to where my friends were, hoping no one had gotten hurt. When I got to them I was more surprised than when the plywood crashed on the floor. One of them was saying, "Did you see that? A hand just appeared out of the air and pushed that board at us!"
Another one said, "No, it wasn't just a hand, I saw a whole person! He was wearing prison clothes, but you could see right through him!"

I didn't see any apparition. To this day, two of my three friends still swear they saw a ghost that night. My third friend, who didn't see any ghost (but, at first believed the ghost story), now says it was just an accident.

I have nothing against anyone who wants to believe in ghosts. But, as for myself, either I just can't see them, or they don't exist.

And much hard proof have you seen for Chupacubra, the Thunderbird, Bigfoot, demons or sea monsters ?

Actually, Aslan, aside from demons, I feel that the other cryptids on the list have a better chance of existing because they may simply be some as-yet unidentified species of terrestrial animal. OTOH, ghosts are supposed to roam in some ethereal plane that is harder to prove the existence of than the ghosts themselves.

look at me! i am a chupacabra with a lawn mower making a crop circle! sasmokin.gif or better yet, a thunderbird releasing the wrath of the rods upon the earth! salook.gif wiggle.gif i think ghost are much more believable than other things. like werewolves. cat.gif when night comes, i shall eat you all! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!...... holy sh*t, i forgot about homework! i gotta go!!!
Nintendork
Obviously bigfoot. Being that it was heard since the 50's (really), he could never walk all around the country and survive. no offence to bigfoot fans grin2.gif
