Paranormal Activity?

Question

I live in a house that is believed to be haunted by one of the previous owners. I have done investigations for 8 years, finally last saturday we did one and we had some things on our recorder. Would you believe stuff if people told you they found evidence.

Answer 1

>Would you believe stuff if people told you they found
> evidence.

Yes, I might believe that such people were being sincere about having found what they think is evidence. But being sincere doesn't mean that you aren't in error, i.e., that it isn't good evidence of paranormal at all but instead is inconclusive, subjective evidence interpreted through the filter of biased belief and the power of suggestion.

Answer 2

I'd tend to believe you if you had lots of audio and video evidence and the activity 'caught' was ruled out as being caused by the investigative crew, electrical/pipes/house settling/outside noises or the owners of the home.

Answer 3

I would like to see or hear the evidence. paranormal investigating is alot like fishing, you don't always catch something. And sometimes what you might catch is not a keeper. You have to go into a search with an open mind and heart. Even though I can see and in some cases converse with the dead, I don't investigate from that angle. I use it but it must be backed up with something concrete in order to say it is proof positive. Would I believe you? Certainly. Do you believe what I just told you?

Answer 4

Well, personally I would not believe it until I myself would experience such things. The evidence that those 'believer' might present can be already fabricated. And for me, if a place is haunted, you can feel it for yourself, though no one has ever told you that it is haunted in the first place. They call it the sixth sense (It's not just the ability to 'see dead people'). The sixth sense may also make you feel 'the others' and imprints (memories left by the past). And every person has it, though in different levels of 'openess'. You don't really need to have special gadgets if you want to experience 'their' presence :).

Answer 5

Would I believe you? Of course not. I don't believe anyone who says, "Just trust me". I don't know what your motives are. I don't know what the evidence is. I don't know what sort of emotional investment you have in this evidence. I don't know how well you are at evaluating this evidence. I could go on. If I see the actual event and can scrutinize the evidence of such an event after the fact then I would consider believing in the supernatural.

Answer 6

Yes, but I would still want a chance to view the evidence and look for logical reasons behind it. I'm not a skeptic I just like to know the data is good.

Answer 7

Telling me you found evidence amounts to anecdotal evidence at best. The whole point of the scientific method is to have research documented, scrutinized, and verified by others before receiving any credibility whatsoever.

Answer 8

Is seeing the only way to believe? I believe in my senses, intuition, hearing and what I see.

Answer 9

I wouldn't believe it if someone told me.I'd have to see it.If there's any whining go on,it's the guy 3 questions back doing it.

Answer 10

I have no right to claim your statements are lies.
I have seen haunting first hand and I didnt believe until I saw stuff floating in the air.
Believe what you experience and leave the skeptics to their little clic. If you truly saw it, why would you need anyone else to verify it. Trust yourself. Trust your experience. Ignore the whiners.
