why does cameras pick up and "see" paranormal activity that we can not see with the unaided eye, and why does sound recorders somtimes pickup the sound of demons and ghost that we cant hear with the unaided ear. (just curious)

Same with animals.  They sense paranormal while we are oblivious.  If you want to see something wierd?  Look through your camera lens at night while holding it up to a street light - watch the jagged lights run up and down ..spoooookkkeeeee...gotta love it

I see, if it is a human spirit, the person the spirit was in live.  They are kind of washout like a old photo that as faded.  If it is inhuman I see it in its true form which usually not a pleasant thing to see.  By the why I never ask for money when helping out in a haunting.  I turn it down when it is offered.

I strongly do. Its not dead people we hear but demons. When we die we sleep until judgement day. Ghosts are demons in the guise of humans. \nEVP is a very good phenomenon to see is a demon is lurking about. Just take a voice recorder and set it up in an empty room. Come back later and carefully listen to it.

Do Ghosts really exist??\n\n\n\nNo one actually knows if ghosts really exist. The only evidence we have are photos and claimed sightings. Most of the photos are of poor quality or are not convincing enough. The sightings may be true but there is no evidence to say so. People have there own ideas of what ghosts look like, from human shaped figures to small objects. Even though there is so much material to say ghosts exist there is still no actual evidence. Until there is some scientific evidence to prove that ghosts actually exist, the legend about ghosts will stay a mystery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n@ w w w . c a s t l e o f s p i r i t s . c o m\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTHE GHOST OF HAMPTON COURT?\n\n\n\n\n\nArticle from DAILY MAIL - UK\n\nBy David Harding, Metro\n19 December 2003\n\nTo the sceptic it may simply look like a fuzzy CCTV image of someone in a long coat walking through a doorway.\nExperts say the long-coated figure could be the best proof yet found that things really do go bump in the night... and the day too.\nThe mystery surfaced two months ago at the 16th-century palace, once home to King Henry VIII.\nSecurity staff heard alarms ringing near an exhibition hall, indicating fire doors had been opened. But on investigation they found the doors closed.\nPerplexed, they examined CCTV footage, and that is when it got spooky.\nThe cameras showed the heavy doors popping open but no one there. Then, suddenly, the long- coated figure appeared and slammed the doors shut.\nThe guards were told the same thing happened at the same time - about 1pm - the day before.\nTo add to the mystery, the doors also flew open at the same time the very next day. But the ghostly figure has been spotted only once.\nThe suspected spook has not just been sighted by CCTV. Australian tourists also claim to have seen a ghost near the exhibition area. The palace, in West London, has ruled out its guides as suspects because they do not enter that part of the building.\nPsychologist Dr Richard Wiseman said the spectre, nicknamed Skeletor, might prove to be a significant discovery.\n'It could be the best ghost sighting ever,' he said. 'I haven't seen anything that would match that at all.'\n\nHENRY AND A HISTORY OF HAUNTING\n\nThis is London\n\n19 December 2003\n\n• CATHERINE HOWARD\n\nThe best known haunting at Hampton Court is by Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife.\n\nCharged with adultery in 1541 and placed under house arrest, she broke free from her guards and ran to her husband to plead for her life. The guards dragged her back and she was executed. To this day, it is claimed, a woman in white can be seen floating down the Haunted Gallery.\n\n• JANE SEYMOUR\n\nHenry VIII's third wife, who died in childbirth in 1537, is said to walk through the cobbled courtyard carrying a lighted taper.\n\n• LADY IN GREY\n\nSibell Penn was nurse to Prince Edward, Henry's only son. She died in 1562 and was buried in Hampton Church. When the church was pulled down in 1829 her remains were disturbed and it is said she returned to the rooms she once lived in.\n\n• THE WOLSEY CLOSET\n\nThe room has a 'strange atmosphere'. A phantom dog has been seen and heard here on more than one occasion. \n\nCNN NEWS REPORT\n\nPalace 'ghost' caught on camera Friday, December 19, 2003 Posted: 1:54 PM EST (1854 GMT)\n\nLONDON, England (AP) -- Are there ghostly goings-on at Henry VIII's palace, or is that hazy image of a fellow in fancy robes just a bit of Christmas cheer?\n\nClosed-circuit security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, the huge Tudor castle outside London, seem to have snagged an ethereal visitor. Could it be a ghost?\n\n"We're baffled too -- it's not a joke, we haven't manufactured it," said Vikki Wood, a Hampton Court spokeswoman, when asked if the photo the palace released was a Christmas hoax.

I believe that the phenomenon we call ghosts and hauntings does exist.  There is no doubt in my mind that people in every culture, every country, and every time have experienced events they cannot explain.\n\nThe real question is "What causes ghosts and hauntings?"\n\nTo that question I willingly will say that I just don't know.  I can tell you that in order to exist on earth, ghosts must obey the laws of the universe.  If they obey the laws of the universe, they aren't really paranormal, rather just not yet with an explanation.\n\nThere are several theories that are actively being studied.  Many paranormal investigators / ghost hunters feel that ghosts and hauntings can be explained by some combination of these.  Some of the more common ones:\n\n* Ghosts are the souls of deceased individuals trapped on earth for one reason or another (this is the theory I have the most trouble with myself)\n\n* Ghosts are a psychological or physical event caused by exposure to abnormally high levels of EMF or spikes in the earth's electromagnetic field\n\n* The phenomenon is caused by an energy imprint left behind when the human body dies.  This energy somehow interacts with the environent.  Some people who come into contact with this energy may experience events associated with hauntings (i.e. hearing voices, seeing apparitions, feeling of being watched).\n\n* Hauntings are a type of recording on the environment and when the conditions are just right that recording will replay.  This is called a residual haunting.\n\n* Ghosts are a psychological event caused by various mental illnesses (I also have a problem with this theory as it would imply that a very significant number of people world have hallucinations caused by mental illness - and that just seems improbable to me).\n\n\nThere are also several different classifications of hauntings that are being studied.\n\n\n\nJaime Henkin\nPresident, Baltimore County Paranormal Research

1) It could be demons, because scripture is obvious that they do interfere in human events. One might ask why demons would go around making strange noises, etc.... Well, my mom personally watches ghost channels on tv and I've seen how its turned her against Christianity, so if the demons want to turn people away from God, apparently they do a good job acting as ghosts. Naturally when you think of demon you might think of some horned beast that wants to go around killing people, but that is not their mission; their mission is deception, and ghosts apparently do deceive people away from God.\n\n2) It COULD (in at least some instances) be your eyes or your mind playing tricks with you.

Have you ever seen the movie Poltergeist? You seem to have lots of weird stuff going on around you , maybe the cause is paranormal.

Wow that sounds so interesting. Love ghost stories. Had a few really strange occurences in my life with the paranormal also. If yo dont believe in ghosts, sorry for you. I know what I saw.

Can you find the question and post the URL in so we can check it out too....  \n\n\nBut personally.. no kittens cant be haunted. \nSure animals do sence ghosts and beings around a house.\nBut if they are freaked out by it then that is different..  \nbecause if they are im sure anyone would pick up on some weird things happening as well.  either cold shivers..  things moving about.

Actually, the person who responded previously is wrong.   There is evidence which suggests there is something to psychic or intuitive power. They often help detectives in murder cases where there are no leads, which is a good thing.   \nStudies of the top psychics under impartial scientific analysis have shown that they DO get it right more often then their non-psychic counterparts, but it doesn't mean they ALWAYS get it right, just more often then the rest of us.     So much so that even our own government wanted to use those who had psychic power as spys, I think they call it remote viewing? anyway they cancelled the project because it was too unreliable. UNRELIABLE, not fake or untrue, they didn't deny there was something there, they just couldn't control it and rely on it for accurate information. the government obviously knew there was an amount of "psychic power" or else they would have never started a project like that in the first place. \n Do they talk to dead people? I don't know, I think many of them are mind readers. There is a lot more to what meets the eye than many of us are willing to admit.  People who are religious of course call anything which is mystical and outside the barriers of organized religion demonic.  \nHundreds of years ago, if you told someone they get sick because there are microscopic "bugs" that get into our bodies through our breath and multiply, they would accuse you of being a heritic or maybe a witch, you cohort with demons, because it is the devil which makes them sick or whatever other ignorant barbarism they attributed to illness.  \nBut it was a fact that applies now as it did then: just because you can't see something with the naked eye does not mean it's not there.  \n It is human nature to say when we don't understand something which is a mystery that it is totally fake or it is demonic.   I don't think it is either. I think it is somewhere in between the material world we see and the world or worlds which we can not.

The concept of spirits or ghosts is an archaic, lame explanation for unexplained noises (things that go bump in the night), likely an early attempt to satisfy the need to explain/understand the frightening unknowns of the universe, dating back to a time when most believed the earth was flat and the sun revolved around us.  While plausible scientifc answers have emerged, many feable minds stubbornly cling to the ancient mythological explanations passed down from generation to generation. It's fun to toy with the idea of ghosts, but those who truly believe reveal their stubborn ignorance.

i have seen something odd twice. the first one when i was a child. i woke in the night and for no reason felt compelled to go into the kitchen and look out of the window, when i did there was a round light in the sky which was stationary. after a few seconds it zig zagged with incredible speed,, 3 or 4 times bfore shooting off. i was facsinated at the time and could not believe my eyes, and for many years i doubted my own experience until one day i read about someone who spoke word for word about what i had seen in a magazine and i have never doubted myself since. this is true and those doubting thomases out there will always scoff, but i say to them scoff away it is of no consequence to me. i would love to know of any other genuine sightings.

Yes, there are ghosts- but we don't really know what ghosts are, that's the problem.\nAs I see it there are 3 kinds of ghosts-\n1. Spirit of the dead trapped here- classic ghost\n2. Psychic residue from traumatic event - this ghost is like a tape loop that plays over and over\n3. Window in time where we can see the past or future.\nThere is also poltergeist activity, which is thought to be the \nuncontrolled emotional energy of a young girl in the vicinity, and is not really a ghost.\nI don't get faced with ghosts all that often but I just talk to them, as if there were a friend standing next to me instead of just a cold spot in the empty air.\n ADDED:\nIt runs in my family, my mother and grandmother had great intuition...\n\nI've noticed in studying near-death experiences that people see what they expect to see-if they are religious they see angels, if not they see the earth spirit in some sense...\nand many see loved ones who have died previously (even if the near-death person didn't know that person was dead). What I'm trying to say is that some very confused dying people may not\nrealize they are dead, or they resist dying so strongly that they get trapped here. This is considered the "classic ghost", and I think this is actually very rare.\n\nI think the more common ghost is the "residual emotion" ghost. This ghost has no consciousness, it is just a energetic replaying of the traumatic event again and again. While these can be truly scary, I think they fade eventually with enough time and work.\n\nI think ghost-ness could happen to anyone on the wrong day. Faith won't save you, neither will science. The classic ghost often just needs help to realize they are dead and move on, or some are doing something they consider to be very important amd are not ready to move on. Lots of classic ghosts haunt places they lived, and they stay to maybe to warn others or to keep an eye on  their beloved home.\n\nThe residual ghost is not an entire soul, just a soul fragment or echo, usually caused by a violent death. So my local hanged-man ghost is just a recording of what happened, that soul  is not there any longer but the house is still badly haunted by the negative emotions set loose there.\n\nI actually think the reading of the Tibetan Book of the Dead is very powerful, it's a guidebook on how to release your hold on the dying body and merge with the universe. It's read during dying, and for several hours afterwards as the soul lets go and travels to its rightful place.\n\nI've learned some protections through my own shamanic practice, and I'm learning more through my friend's new learning set on Witchcraft (white, by the way). She is actually much more religious than I am, my friend the witch, and I am expecting to learn the Sephiroth and a bunch of other stuff...\nUh, get on with it already- Okay... For instance, I am blessing graveyards in my area right now.I take some time in my car to envision my helping spirits and to see myself putting on a protective cloak. Then I walk around the property, and on all its roads. Along the way if I feel anything I welcome it and I breathe it in. Then I get in my car, I go home,and I sit and meditate and feel everything I picked up breathed out and envision it going into the ground to be absorbed by the planet. Then I see myself taking off my cloak.\n\nAnything else? I have felt dangerous things, I have sometimes avoided these things or gone forward to tell them they should tell me what they are. I know the website of an experienced ghost hunter where she warns of certain types of hauntings as being, she feels, non-human and very dangerous. I haven't had that feeling but I do not normally go wandering graveyards at night with instruments and cameras.Maybe I should, it might be fun. They do a protective prayer before they enter and when they leave.\n\nI have a lot of theories but of course we only have so much proof-\nThere a

I don't believe in ghosts, but I do know what I saw wasn't human. Me and a friend were driving on the highway when suddenly a large 10 ft white object floated over the median and into my lane. I swerved to avoid it and got a weird feeling about it. I thought maybe it was a trash bag or some tarp or something, but it looked smokey.. almost like fog, but yet it was in a defined form that looked like a being. I asked my friend if it was a trash bag, and he said no it definitely was not. I saw what was that? And we both had a period of silence. We both decided that it had to of been a ghost. This was out in the middle of nowhere, I belive near some battlegrounds. I've also had another experience with the same friend. We were both working on our computers when suddenly there was a loud CLAP to the left of us. It sounded like someone clapped right next to my ear. Inquiring what it was, we never decided on anything logical. I tried to calm myself saying maybe it was something electrical, or mechanical, but there was no logical explanation to be found. Very very strange.

As an amateur ghosthunter, I can tell you that ghosts are real.  I have photographic evidence, and am working on sound recordings.  I think a lot of it has to do with a person's 'sensitivity' to such phenomena.\n\nGo here to see some excellent photos; I have a few in there under "submitted photos".\n\nhttp://www.kentuckyshadowchasers.com/photogallery/index.html\n\nThere are some good EVP's here:\n\nhttp://www.kentuckyshadowchasers.com/gate.html?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1\n\nAlso, look for any investigation of the Villisca Axe Murder house in Iowa.  It is extremely active.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I try to rule out any possible mundane explanation in photos and such before I start looking at paranormal angles.  But it does exist.

Wow, it almost sounds like something is following you.\n\nOne of my ghost stories is from New Orleans (where ghost stories are born). My friend and I were staying at the Hotel St Louis. At about 3am, the alarm on my digital watch started going off, but I didn't even know how to set it so I knew I hadn't done it. \n\nThen, we went out for breakfast (there were only 2 of us in the room) and came back and the deadbolt had been locked from the inside. We had to have someone from the front desk use a special key to open the lock. He had to lay on his back and unlock the door from a hidden lock under the door knob.\n\nMany other experiences, there, too. Luckily all were friendly.
