Ghosts of Japanese Tsunami Victims Trying to Get to Destroyed Homes

[Papoon]

I would be skeptical, even cynical about this, except...

Shortly after the tsunami I was composing music in my home studio in Australia, in the January after the tsunami, and an extraordinary and strange thing happened. Suddenly, out of the blue, I was hearing shrieking from what sounded like hundreds of people. After a minute or two I got vague visual impressions of people floating in the space around me. Then I felt the presence of a dear friend I have known since early teenage, who I had not seen for a few years. At one point I could see him in my peripheral vision. We have shared altered states and out of body experiences, even at great distances and spontaneously, in the past. It seemed to me that he was asking for my help.
As it happened, he was dying of cancer at the time. I did not know that he was close to death, we were in different cities and had not made contact for maybe a few years.
It was not until much later (months) that I decided to do google searches etc to find him, or see what I might find.
I found a page dedicated to his memory, as he had passed in the April after the tsunami.
Make of that what you will.

Can you show me ANY evidence?

Re-read the OP as one-millionth of the anecdotal evidence.

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

Yeah this is not evidence.

With this level of "evidence", unicorns, bigfoot, and every religion is correct.

 

[George-ananda]

I'll go 'yes' on ghosts, 'no' on unicorns and 'something paranormal' on bigfoot and 'yes' the major religions come from the same core of truth.

So your picking and choosing.

Also no they do not come from the same core truth.

 

[George-ananda]

Ghost stories are plentiful in Japan. The stories related in the OP remind me of the vanishing hitchhikers motorists in America have reported encountering. A good friend's uncle has a vanishing hitchhiker story that he claims happened to him while in San Francisco.

Yes, it is not a single culture reporting this.

A prejudiced and unwarranted insult is your only response.

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

A prejudiced and unwarranted insult is your only response.

I am saying that you already believe in spiritualism therefore making you predisposed to make such a claim.

 

[George-ananda]

Good for tourism. Who dosent like a good ghost story?

I do not think this will cause tourism to Japan.

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

I do not think this will cause tourism to Japan.

Yeah it will, look at the tourism "hauntings" bring.

 

[George-ananda]

So your picking and choosing.

No....analyzing the evidence on each case.

 

[Taylor Seraphim]

No....analyzing the evidence on each case.

Any evidence for why you think of any of those things as true?

 

[Gambit]

Judgement call and I disagree.

What do you about some of the TV paranormal shows (e.g. "Ghost Adventures" and "The Dead Files")?

 

[George-ananda]

Any evidence for why you think of any of those things as true?

No sense repeating myself about analyzing evidence for quantity, quality and consistency. But I just did repeat myself.

Please provide some proof.

I think some of the shows are of good quality and point to the existence of forces unknown to current science.

Yeah how else could they get views

 

[George-ananda]

Please provide some proof.

Where do I ever say anything for or against can be proved. I said it is beyond current science. I believe in ghosts beyond reasonable doubt.

You have no idea what I do or don't believe, or what kind of experiences have informed my world view.
