What is the main unexplained happenings that evolved from humans? Zombies, vampires, or ghosts?

Probably ghosts, since the idea of ghosts is pretty much universal throughout all cultures. While there are some mythological creatures that have a lot in common with our idea of zombies and vampires, these ideas aren't quite as universal and offer differ between cultures too much to truly say that something is, say, a "Chinese vampire" or "Aztec zombie." But ghosts are pretty simple, since the main concept is simply that of a dead human spirit and the particulars may vary widely even within this culture. Like I said, you can find that pretty much anywhere.

I think that even if that happened, it would be covered up, or people would find a way to rationalize it so that they would't have to believe that there really were vampires.  \n\nPeople only believe what they want to believe.

I believe in ghosts, only because I had an encounter with one.   I woke up in the middle of the night once, to feel someone sitting down on the edge of my bed.  There was NO ONE there, but there was something moving, and putting pressure on my bed.  I also felt as though I was not alone in my room, even though the door was closed and locked from the inside.  I closed my eyes and I either fainted or fell back to sleep- but I know I wasn't dreaming.  When I woke it was gone.

GHOSTS? Yes. In the summer of 1977 a ghost took up residency in my electric fan. It was very entertaining. Had a penchant for ABBA tunes and sang to me in a weird electric voice. It lasted for just a few months then disappeared. I still miss the ghost.  \nWITCHES? Yes. I went to elementary school with a girl whose father was a Warlock. Nice guy but those big bushy eyebrows made him look scary.  \nKELPIE? Yes. When I was very young I saw a "pony" swimming in a bayou in Baywood, Louisiana. I ran home and told my Grandad about the swimming pony. Grandad asked me what color it' eyes were. Red I told him. Grandad became excited and told me it wasn't a pony at all. He called it a Kelpie. He said a Kelpie was a water "imp" that took the guise of a horse to entice innocent folk into the water with it. Once the victim entered the water the Kelpie would return to it's true demonic form and drown the happless swimmer.  Grandad forbade me to return to the bayou ever again and I never did.\nBLOODY MARY? Yes. I remember some years back I was dining at a truck-stop. A drunken trucker was dared into saying "Bloody Mary's" name three times. He did. After the 3rd time he excused himself to use the bathroom. He never returned. The cook went into the bathroom to see if he was ok. The bathroom was empty and quiet except for a broken mirror over the sink. No trace of the trucker at all. I heard his Semi stayed parked at the truck stop for 4 days before it was towed.\nVAMPIRES? Yes. I saw one years ago as a spectator at a carnival. He was a pale, bald, bony man dressed in black & gray. He was wiping his mouth of what looked like ketchup. He caught me watching him. I felt uncomfortable and turned to walk away. As I did I faced a Fun-House mirror. There was no reflection of the strange man. He was right behind me! Surely there would be a reflection! There wasn't. That's when I realized he was a vampire. I ran through the mid-way until I caught up with my friends. I never told them about the vampire because I knew they would never believe me. \nJACK the RIPPER? Yes. There is documented proof Jack the Ripper existed. The question is who do you believe he was? Some Historians say he was a respected Surgeon others believe he was a prominent member of High Society while others claim he was a member of Brittain's Royal Family. Me? I'd have to go with the Surgeon theory because of the proffessionalism of the knife wounds. Experts claim the wounds were very precise and were administered with expertise. \nCANDYMAN? Yes. The legend of the Candyman is just a variation of the "Bloody Mary" legend. They are one and the same theory but the Bloody Mary legend is much older than the Candyman .  \nBLACK CAT THAT CROSSES YOUR PATH? Absolutely. A black cat has no supernatural powers ......unless it is a "Familiar" sent by a witch to cast a spell. A familiar is an animal (cat, owl, rodent, wolf, etc.) charmed by a witch or other sorcerror to cut-off or "cross" an intended victims path. By doing so the essence of the spell or curse will possess the victim. Folk-lore has it....since the animals were small or at least not very large they were only capable of containing mild spells like clumsiness or "bad luck". Fortunately A cursed black cat is the only supernatural element I have not encountered in my strange and very eventful life (aside from Jack the Ripper that is!)...So far!

I highly recommend that you read "Visits From the Afterlife" by Sylvia Browne.  She explains all about ghosts and spirits.  It's fascinating!

Superstition and mysteries.

There have been a number of strange events reported at the totally unique Winchester House for many years and they still continue to be reported today. This Haunting makes the top ten in the USA , Number 4 Haunted House in America.\n\nIn 1884, a wealthy widow named Sarah L. Winchester began a construction project of such magnitude that it was to occupy the lives of carpenters and craftsmen until her death thirty-eight years later. The Victorian mansion, designed and built by the Winchester Rifle heiress, is filled with so many unexplained oddities, that it has come to be known as the Winchester Mystery House. \n\nSarah Winchester built a home that is an architectural marvel. Unlike most homes of its era, this 160-room Victorian mansion had modern heating and sewer systems, gas lights that operated by pressing a button, three working elevators, and 47 fireplaces. From rambling roofs and exquisite hand inlaid parquet floors to the gold and silver chandeliers and Tiffany art glass windows, you will be impressed by the staggering amount of creativity, energy, and expense poured into each and every detail.\n\n\nMany many psychics have visited the Haunted house, most have come away actually convinced, that Sarah Winchester and many other tormented spirits still wander the Great maze of rooms. \n\nIn the years that the house has been open to the public, employees and visitors alike have had one to many unusual encounters with ghost. There have been the sounds of haunted footsteps; etheral music and many a banging doors; too often one hears mysterious echoing ghostly voices; several unexplainable cold spots; strange moving lights and orbs in ghost photos; witnesses have seen doorknobs that turn by themselves... and don’t forget the scores of people who have their own claims of phenomena to report but just are to afraid to do it.\n\nTour through 110 of the 160 rooms and look for the bizarre phenomena that gave the mansion its name; a window built into the floor, staircases leading to nowhere, a chimney that rises four floors, doors that open onto blank walls, and upside down posts! No one has been able to explain the mysteries that exist within the Winchester Mansion, or why Sarah Winchester kept the carpenters' hammers pounding 24 hours a day for 38 years. It is believed that after the untimely deaths of her baby daughter and husband, son of the Winchester Rifle manufacturer, Mrs. Winchester was convinced by a medium that continuous building would appease the evil spirits of those killed by the famous "Gun that Won the West" and help her attain eternal life. Certainly her $20,000,000 inheritance was sufficient to support her obsession until her death at 82!\n\nThe Behind-the-Scenes Tour is a guided tour which takes guests into areas which had been unexplored for over 75 years. On tour you will learn how Mrs. Winchester's 160-acre estate functioned. You will go into the stables, dehydrator, Plumber's workshop, the unfinished Ballroom, and one of the basements.\n\n\nYou will also learn about Victorian architecture as your guide points out the many features used in the building of the Winchester mansion. Safety hats will be worn on the tour. The Behind-the-Scenes Tour is limited to those 10 and older. Sorry, due to safety concerns, children 9 and under and babies are not permitted.\n\n\n\nThe Winchester Firearms Museum\n\nThe "Gun that Won the West" is the main attraction in the Firearms Museum, one of the largest Winchester Rifle collections on the West Coast. See the collection of guns that preceded the famous Winchester Rifle, including B. Tyler Henry's 1860 repeating rifle that Oliver Winchester adapted and improved upon to produce his first repeating rifle, the Winchester Model 1866. Learn about the Model 1873 which came to be called the "Gun that Won the West."

A lot of magical phenomena now have scientific explanations.\n\nExample: Most of the witchcraft of colonial America can now be traced to a rye grain fungus that caused hallucinations and other symptoms that were diagnosed as witchcraft at the time.

Hell, I believe in BOTH. :) Ghosts are energy manefestations of human beings. Our brains function on electrical energy. Energy itself can neither be created, nor destroyed. Therefore, after death our brains energy has to go SOMEwhere. I believe Ghosts are that leftover, undestroyable enegry. \n\nALIENS: There are untold countless planets in the universe. Of those, billions are capable of supporting our form of life. It's a mathematical certainty. Of those, how many have actually spawned life that became intelligent in the manner that occured here on our own Earth? I'm not a gambling man; but the existence of intelligent life besides our own, in the universe, is a sure bet. There's too many planets out there for US to be the only ones. :) \n\nAnd if you're going to go at it from a religious standpoint, Jesus DID say he had other flocks, besides this one. There are scads of references in the bible, that are obviously alien in nature. God created the UNIVERSE. Who's to say he did not create OTHERS in his own image? :) \n\nAny way you cut the cake, the odds of us being alone in this Great Expanse, are slim and none.

I have heard that cats do get kind of freaked out by the supernatural. My friend and i were playing the ouija board and her cat came and its back hunched up and it hissed at the board and ran away. I have heard that cats can see spirits like fairies, ghosts and peopel who astral traveling and dogs can see people's souls. Thats why when a dog see's someone and they start to grow'll or the hair stands up on their backs. The dog has seen the persons soul and they think/know that that person means harm or is bad!!

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'm not sure what you're asking here...do you want to know whehter any of us have encounter anything paranormal?  If so, I would have to say that almost everyone has...some either don't know that they have or refuse to believe it!

Wow, that's really fascinating! I love ghost stories and would love to see one, but I never have. However, here are some things people I know have seen...\nIn kindergarden I had a friend whose dad was in the airforce. My friend saw him one day long before he was supposed to come home from work, or so he thought. The man he saw was wearing the airforce uniform his dad wore and he only saw him from behind, and from behind it looked just like his dad. He saw him work into his parents' bedroom so he went in to ask him why he was home so early, but no one was in the room. He checked the bathroom and even under the bed and in the closet and the man he thought was his dad was not there, no one was in the room. The window was locked. His dad came home about 3 hours later and I don't think my friend ever told him about it.\n\nAlso, my uncle died of a heart attack on Halloween several years ago, and when my little sister was born my parents gave her my uncle's name as her middle name in his honor. She's 9 now and for a few years she's said that he is her guardian angel and she can see his spirit at times. When we moved into our new house, she was terrified to go into the basement without all the lights turned on and someone with her holding her hand. One day I went into the basement to get my art supplies and she was there playing with legos. I was shocked and asked her why she wasn't afraid, and she said it was because he was there.\n\nI find ghosts and spirits fascinating rather than scary, and I think it's so cool that my sister can see her guardian angel! ^^

Belief in a supernatural being is the easiest answer one can give for most of all unanswered questions raised by not knowing where we come from or where we are going to. Therefore, such belief is not explainable from a logic point of view.

I have seen things I can't explain. That doesn't mean they are paranormal.  \n3 times in my life I've seen things others might describe as UFO's.  Once I was outside playing with friends (around 14  years old) and there were these weird lights.  We started to follow them but as soon as we left our dead-end street they vanished, but when we came back onto the street they were there again.\nAnother time (I was around 22) I was at an ATM at a mall at night (mall was closed) and a very bright object landed on the far side of the parking lot from me.\nThe third time I was a very young child on a drive with my parents and a shiny object fell out of the sky and crashed. We saw debris.\nI had many enounters with a ghost at my grandmother's old house. I never saw her, but I heard her.  And she used to cover me up when I slept over. \nWhen my red lory Scarlett died in 1994 she haunted my house for a while. My husband & others also saw her.  Guests would say "One of your birds is loose--the red one" and I'd say "I don't have a red one anymore" and check--all the other birds would be in their cages.\nMy friend had a white cat who lived at her store. The store caught on fire one night and the cat died. The firemen did try to save it but the smoke had gotten it.  She got a new cat, a grey one, but people kept telling her they'd seen a WHITE cat--customers who never knew she had one that died there.  I've never seen the white cat, but I've felt it brush my ankles when I could see the grey cat from across the room.\nspellcheck dead, sorry for errors.

Vampires definitely. I love stories about vampires; books or movies. The main reason is that vampires are extremely sexual beings and that in turn makes them very sexy to me. Great example: the movie "Bram Stoker's Dracula". Gary Oldman was so amazing and made the entire idea of being a vampire not only sexy but romantic. I just love the whole idea. There is so much about them that is symbolic and interesting. For example, everyone knows that the act of a vampire drinking blood is not only nourishing to them, but a sexual experience. And when you think about it, drinking the thing that gives someone life is actually the ultimate sexual and intimate encounter. It's the ultimate way to become one with another human being. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to go and drink anyone's blood, but I just find everything about vampires interesting and exciting.
