How many of you believe in supernatural forces?
Just curious. Personally I don't.
shareI dont believe it. But this movie must be even more scary for those who believe in it.

I don't believe in the paranormal either, but I always loved watching these kind of movies and reading scary stories. I've been reading hundreds of them the past couple of days on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1offae/what_is_your_scariest_true_story_serious/

I'm reading those stories right now, thanks for the link. It's always interesting to hear about creepy experiences when you're not the one involved!
shareYou're welcome :)
Only 55 more stories to go and I'm done reading them all, it's quite addictive.

As portrayed in this movie no but I do not discount that something paranormal exists at all. I have experienced some strange things in my life time which is not always easy to explain.
To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script -Alfred Hitchcock
thats cos you dont have the understanding or intelligence not because it's paranormal
shareI can't speak to the experiences of the person that you replied to... But, I've seen two full bodied apparitions at two different places. One was a guy dressed in military fatigues that looked like he walked out of my friend's living room wall, and the other was a young girl that was standing in the corner of a completely empty auditorium (save for myself and another person that saw her two. She straight up vanished after about two seconds of looking at her.
Look... I'm a skeptic. 99% of the ghost stories I read, I think can be passed off as something else. But, there's that 1% (including what I've witnessed) that can't be explained by conventional science and understanding. Which, by the way, is the exact definition of "paranormal." So, your statement is completely backwards... It's paranormal because it's not understood, and we collectively don't have the intelligence (yet?) to explain it.
If you think that the things you wrote are actually a rational response, then no, you are certainly not a skeptic. A skeptic would understand that there are many explanations for what you "saw" which do not require the invocation of nonsense. A skeptic would also understand that not being able to explain something does not mean you get to invoke magic.
shareMaybe he has the intelligence to understand that it is something paranormal and you don't?

OK, now i'm creeped out AF. i think the supernatural is possible, i don't quite discount it. i didn't even know about Reddit, but I do now..😨

"I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret, that would damn or save my soul"! share
I have healthy skeptical reservations, but I'm open minded enough to watch paranormal shows and take into account other people's experiences. I'm not willing to ethically pretend to know everything about life, and/or the afterlife.
shareI eleive less in the idea that human beings have figured out all things regarding the universe, life, and death. That goes for scientists, atheists, and religious people.
The science text books we have in schools today will be obsolete in 5-10 years. People change religions these days like people change clothes and nothing horrible happens to them. Nothing horrible happens to atheists for no believing, either. That tells me that we don't really know sh!t about the universe; yet each group believes they're superior to the other. Best thing to do is just wait and see what happens next.
If supernatural forces really exist, they don't give a damn if we believe in them or not.
Very well stated, sandifay. Thanks!
If supernatural forces really exist, they don't give a damn if we believe in them or not.
And if they do exist, they probably also don't care what else we might believe in. People who put their hope in the superstition of organised religion to save them and control such forces are like children thinking wolves might prove friendly. Demons would be from outside the Abrahamic faiths.
I don't know that I believe in them, as such But I consider them a possibility, terrifying as it is. I just think they'd be wilder and more savage than the music-hall monsters we can conceive.
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment. share
Well I would say that it was good, but not as good as The Exorcist. However it is by far one of the best horror movie in recent times!

Did You Know That "Hindu" Means Black Dog, Black Slave & Black Thief in Persian?
Not before I go to sleep. *beep* it..
shareI have watched too many episodes of Celebrity Ghost Stories, where people we know come forward publicly to tell their own ghost experiences, for me not to believe. Having said that, I am less convinced that demons haunt houses and people, but I have no doubt that deceased human souls do haunt at times.
shareI don't believe in any of it. That doesn't mean I can't enjoy movies about the subject.
Anyway, it's well known that the Warrens were frauds. They were old-fashioned ghost hunters and then decided to focus on demonic possession when it became popular (shortly after The Exorcist, I believe). Oh, and don't get me started on those ridiculous ghost hunting shows. How does it make sense to investigate something in the dark?
