I was wondering if anyone else had an interest in the Paranormal. I watch many videos that are based on the subject. Large amounts can be discounted as hoaxes. But occasionally, you come across videos you can't simply explain away as video editing, strings, or extras. The interesting thing is, that plausible videos often exhibit similar paranormal characteristics, despite the paranormal tropes differing between cultures.

I usually check Nukes Top 5 as he usually collates the most interesting videos, (though sometimes clearly hoaxes)

 
Never seen anything personally, but I think it's pretty likely that there are things out there that defy physicalist categories, even if it's not exactly clear what that would be like. I rather like ghost stories and things like that.
 
I've seen some shit, but

no one will ever believe you.jpeg

and honestly the amount of sperging (calling me a liar, mentally ill, drug addict, delusional etc) I've seen over the years if I ever try to discuss it makes me not want to bring up anything personal.

There's a lot of fake stuff out there, but some of it is real. I think a lot of the fake stuff is so when something real comes out, it's harder to know if it's real and you dismiss it as just some bullshit.
 
Humans (and other animals) have an innate tendency to ascribe agency to natural phenomena. It's a holdover from the days when avoiding the bush that seems to be rustling a bit too much for it to be just the wind could be a matter of life or death. This combined with a tendency to latch onto spurious correlations results in superstitious thinking.
To the latter point: I believe it was a study done on pigeons where they were fed completely randomly. It didn't take long for them to form a set of "superstitious" behaviors where they would engage in increasingly complex rituals when they were hungry. The standard interpretation of these findings is that these pigeons thought these actions would result in them getting fed because they happened to get fed when they were doing them despite it being totally random.

Anyway: my point is it's all bullshit. Your mind's playing tricks on you. It may seem compelling when you think of the odds of certain weird things all happening together by coincidence but given how many such coincidences could happen, it would be odd if none of them did.

Nah. Ive seen straight up demonic shit. Ain’t no pigeon dance here. I appreciate the effort though
 
I don't believe in ghosts, but our loved ones still provide for us after death - because energy cannot be created or destroyed. The food you ate or the lightbulb you sat underneath once flowed through a person. We eat and gain warmth from their dissipated energy.
 
I enjoy spoopy content just because it's fun. Caspersight is a reaction channel and breaks up the monotony of the videos he watches. Easy on the eyes, nice clean Brit, family man (but can be kinda annoying but not in a grating way to make him unwatchable). Just rambo it, mate!

My phone is powered primarily by natural gas as far as I know. It's the outgassing of dead foliage from buried swamps that existed some 300 million years ago. This was long before man set foot on the Earth.
 
Your brain has a million ways to lie to you. There has yet to be a single piece of compelling evidence of ghosts or anything of the sort.

Do you think real police departments would consult mediums if it was all just one huge LARP? But twats like yourself don't care about what is true or not, you just care about making yourself seem smarter than everyone who knows better (which probably includes your own family I would bet) after making mid-wit comparisons to studies of the tiny brains of pigeons like any of that data is fucking meaningful (may as well studied flies or protozoa). Might as well just flip on a TJ Kirk video. Why would anyone want to relay their personal experiences to someone like you?
