UM-Bot 10,438 #1 Posted November 14, 2020 By: BloodshotEyes | Location: USA Quote I've seen and heard unexplainable things for many years. Mostly it happens in the few nights surrounding the full moon, I don't know why. The subject of my post, though, begins a little over two years ago, when I was on my honeymoon.

buer5337 25 #3 Posted December 9, 2020 okay so i don't think the shadow person is evil or out to get you i think next time you see it wave to it or say what do you want nicely and maybe if you want to be left alone now if it doesn't leave that doesn't mean it hates you or anything it could be simply observing you or checking up on try giving it a name say hi to it now i only refer to it as it cause it doesnt really have a gender Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be like me saying all people who tell stories of paranormal expetences suffer from mental issues, in other words true believers will believe make believe, hallucinations, delusions etc as real. It is about mindset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think skeptic is the right word. Skeptic implies a willingness to see possibilities. To move forward with caution, and follow where the evidence goes. Many of the folks here who call themselves skeptics, are really cynics. It wouldn’t matter what kind of evidence arises. They not only will never consider any possibilities besides the one they come up with, they can’t even tolerate others believing something they don’t. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what of those who believe and want to see/experience but never do? How what makes others more special than them or more likely to have these experiences?

I don't believe the people's minds are open enough. Edited February 26 by openozy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does this work you have to see/experience to truly believe but you can't see/experience if you don't believe? I seem to be constantly confused on this site. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally do not know any hard core sceptics, I know people that do not believe in the paranormal but are open to the possibly and others who believe, some of which claim to have had experiences. No one I know who stated they had experiences has ever told me they were sceptical before.

However there have been a lot of mundane explanations for various phenomena. It seems that the believers are quicker to deny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im thankful for the many years I’ve been part of this site. It’s turned me into what I believe is a true skeptic. I usually look hard for other possibilities before I even consider the paranormal. I have a neighbor who is into the paranormal like big time. I find myself talking her out of believing crap all the time. Well I try my best anyway. Just the other day she was showing me this show, paranormal caught on camera. Many of the clips we have discussed here. I tried to explain to her how most of them were BS.

Back when I had my experiences, the paranormal wasn’t part of my life at all. I didn’t care about any of it. I was basically forced to believe, through experiences at the time I would have been more than happy to have never had. Today I’m grateful I had them though. Especially seeing how rare it really is for many people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And by all accounts I should be a believer in the paranormal and a whole lot of spooky mystical magical stuff. I guess I was more dedicated in questioning my experiences that others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
