I would think only CHrisitans as its a Holy Spirit thing....but there could be something similar in other faiths.....

Yes I have. I was in the prayer room at church with four other ladies and let me tell you it's contagious! We were all praying in the Spirit when my legs went limp and I fell on my knees before the Lord. There was an overwhelming presence of the Lord like never before. Next thing I knew I was on my face just worshiping Him. One of us started to giggle then the next until we just couldn't stop. This went on for about ten minutes. It was wonderful!!!
As for others "getting it", the devil loves to imitate everything God does. It wouldn't surprise me, but it would not be a true "Holy" laughter as in being "Drunk in the Spirit".

Yes - just once in a mega church back in Sydney Australia. That was in 1996. I fell over laughing so hard it hurt. Couldn't stop and could'nt stand up. I was a walikng paradox for days after that: my body was loose and relaxed, but full of energy; I felt intoxicated but my mind was acutely aware of every bity little thing; i felt very angry at sin but also felt a profound love for total strangers - especially the marginalized; I wanted to die and go immediately to heaven but felt a need to share the Good News to people here on earth...
I haven't felt that filled with the Spirit since :(

Yes I have laughed out of spirit.......for two days straight. The best way to explain why is in a quote, he put it better than I could anyway.
“When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky”
Buddha
David, it is not a holy spirit experience, it is a spiritual experience. You really need to understand that there may just be one destination, but there are many paths to reach it.

I've heard about it..... It is also known as the "Toronto Blessing"..... Holy Laughter is the use of a demon that is a west african shamanistic rite.......
It is also called the "Laughing Revival".......
Would God have a man rolling on the floor barking like a dog?!!!
No!..... it is unholy laughter......
Some well known names have been associated with this revival......
I say, stay away from it!!!!
Some have had to fight off entities that have entered them.....
But, I cannot substantiate that by anyone I know personally......
I say, stay away from it.....

Yes, I have it often, its wonderful!
What it actually is, is laughing at Satan, so its a victory laugh in the spirit.
Pure joy and gratitude to the Lord!

I laugh alot in church, but it's cause I smoked weed. People speak in tongues at my church, but no laughing(except for me).
