Missing knives and forks - weird things

[Twilight Hue]

You're welcome. I enjoy assisting other people with any concerns or issues they may suspect are paranormal.



I think that's an interesting new development.



I think locking the door is an effective way to ensure that no one from the outside is up to no good and trying to mess with you.



My answer is both yes and no.

In my experience with human spirits, they can choose whether or not to make their presence known to the living. I believe the same holds true for dogs and cats. On rare occasions, I've sensed a spirit, but neither my dogs nor cats sensed the same spirit. It doesn't happen very often, but it has happened.



Based on what I've experienced and understand about human spirits, they aren't as constrained by time as we are, so I don't think the passage of time matters. In fact, I think that some of them don't have any sense of time based on our conversations. Some spirits, in my experience, only see what they want to see and have no interest in anything else, including other spirits or the living. It seems to me that some spirits would rather be left alone.



My suggestion to you is to pay no attention to how ghosts are portrayed in horror movies because they hardly ever get it right.



Most human spirits don't make their presence known at all to the living. They would rather be left alone.



I think that's perfectly acceptable. It's not always simple to deal with the paranormal.



I think that's a good idea.



It's not unusual for a human spirit to focus its attention on one room of a house or building.



I think it's a common misconception that human spirits will always stay where they die. While that is true for most hauntings, it isn't always the case.



My advice to you is to set a digital recorder on a level surface in your kitchen, press the play button (verbally indicate that you are beginning a recording session), and then silently leave the room for at least two to three hours. You must also ensure that no other person enters the kitchen or makes any noise while you are recording. That's what I do when I'm investigating a suspected haunted location. I would also set up motion-sensor cameras that record any movement in the room from different angles. If you don't have access to motion-sensor cameras, then the digital recorder will work just fine. But you must be very meticulous when attempting to record EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) or basically spirit voices. If you'd like to communicate directly with the spirit or spirits, then I recommend using a spirit box (also known as a ghost box). If it were me, I would use an assortment of ghost-hunting equipment, including more advanced equipment like my GS2 Laser Grid System (like this one), or if I suspected a child spirit or more than one child spirit, then I'd use my interactive talking bear called BooBuddy, which attracts them. I've been researching and investigating well-known haunted locations and suspected haunted locations for sixteen years, so I've accumulated a fair amount of ghost-hunting equipment. And, finally, I don't know how far you're willing to go to determine if a spirit (or spirits) reside in your home. I don't know if you're even interested in attempting to communicate if there is a spirit in your home.

EVPs and ghost boxes are just pure bunk. It's just audio pareidolia.

I like the laser grid though.

That is your opinion on EVPs and the ghost box, and you are entitled to it. But I'm not going to comment on your opinion since I don't debate about my experiences or the paranormal in general. Besides, debate isn't permitted in this subforum. FWIW, the laser grid is one of my favorite pieces of equipment.

 

[Audie]

Trail cams are motion sensitive.
I wonder if they could they pick up a ghost/spirit movement.

Should be able to see forks floating away

 

[We Never Know]

Should be able to see forks floating away

True

Fair enough.

No requirement to address my views on some of toys and gadgets as I'm very skeptical on what is being precieved to be paranormal. Who am I to say your not having fun with it? ;0]

I'm just a skeptical person and not impressed at all by some of the toys being used. I happen to like controls and a more scientific approach.

Yet I certainly do like the laser grids, so not all of it is useless for investigating things like the paranormal and other things of a strange and unexplained origin.

I used to watch Ghost Hunters on sci fi years ago, maybe decades, and some of this sounds familiar. They did succeed in detecting ghosts, but after a while it became the same old thing over and over again. I already told you about the ghost I saw when I was young. I wanted a little more confirmation, and I was satisfied, so I moved on. I remember EVPs on that show. I don't really remember laser grid systems. That's a lot of money to try to detect a ghost. Maybe that's new? Maybe they had that but I don't think they did.

A laser grid has been utilized in paranormal investigations for quite some time.

I definitely believe in a spiritual world that exists beyond this world so I know he is there. I just did not think his spirit could go back and forth from that world to this world, until @Sgt. Pepper informed me of that.

Based on my knowledge and years of experience, I believe that earthbound human spirits can come and go from this world to the spiritual realm and vice versa as often as they'd like. It's my belief that these spirits go through either a spiritual portal or a spiritual vortex whenever they want to travel between the physical world and the spiritual realm. Furthermore, I believe that there are earthbound human spirits everywhere, and they can go wherever they like and, often times, stay in a location for as long as they like. To be completely honest, I think that all of the Christians' earthbound spirits have refuted what the Bible says about the afterlife. I won't elaborate further because I don't want to derail the thread from its OP or disrupt it by triggering a debate. FYI, I've already explained my personal viewpoint on the Bible's teachings on the afterlife in another thread, so I'll post these links instead (Link 1 and Link 2).

 

[Sgt. Pepper]

@Sgt. Pepper is our resident expert on paranormal occurrences. She has 'seen it all' so to speak so I think so she can explain to you what she thinks is going on in your house.

I never experienced anything paranormal until my late husband passed on about a year ago, but since then I have had my TV in the bedroom turn on by itself at intervals of about two months with no explanation as to how that could happen. When the Comcast Cable technician came over and I explained what had been happening he said he had no explanation so it must be paranormal. This TV is in a wooden cabinet and the doors are always closed, and he could not get the TV to go on with the remote control unless he opened those doors. The last time this happened was on June 12.

I have also experienced other things such as the TV in the living room changing channels when I did not touch the remote control. I also experienced things gone missing, a wash rag I was using and a dust pan. There is no explanation and these items never turned up.

My late husband and I agreed that whoever was left behind on earth would communicate with the other one in the spiritual world and I think he is trying to get me to do that. My counselor agrees I should try to communicate with him because I really need closure, given the circumstances of his death are not fully known. After I communicate with him I will probably file a complaint with the health care system who was responsible for his care and I might also file a lawsuit, but I need to communicate with him before I do that.

I don't know if I will ever sleep in that bedroom again as there are too many sad memories associated with it. It is difficult to even go in there but I have to scoop the litter boxes and open and close the windows for cool air. I also decided I was not going to sleep in the bedroom with the TV going off and on because I like to watch TV before I go to sleep and I don't want to mess with that TV. I have eight cats and the cats like that bedroom so I leave it open for them.

I had been sleeping on the couch in the living room for the past year but finally purchased a Day Bed and a sleep number mattress for the living room and I just had it delivered this weekend. I do what I have to in order to survive this great loss and I decide what to do as I go along!

It's fairly common for a recently deceased person to visit their loved ones soon after their death, either visually or in dreams. For your information, this article contains a few accounts of people's encounters with the spirits of deceased loved ones. It has happened to me since I was a child, such as when I saw my great-grandfather immediately after he died. I told the story in another thread a while ago, which you can read here (2nd and 3rd paragraphs). While it isn't uncommon for children to see spirits (as detailed in this article), my abilities to see, hear, and feel the presence of spirits grew as I did. As I previously stated, I also have mental mediumship (see my post here; sixth and seventh paragraphs). I never told anyone about my abilities when I was growing up, so I'm sure you can understand how difficult it was for me. It was a very lonely and confusing time for me. But I'm relieved to say that it's not as challenging for me anymore because accepting the reality of paranormal phenomena is more widespread and prevalent in today's society (see here).

 

[fantome profane]

I'm a huge horror fun and I've seen the conjuring, Annabelle, insidious etc more than 5 times,

I am also a huge fan of horror and supernatural fiction. But I really hate those particular movies, those movies glorify people who are just most despicable con artists.

Like you, I don't believe in the supernatural, and you don't need to in order to enjoy a good ghost story, anymore than you need to believe in vampires, or werewolves or zombies.
