I don't know. I think that there are many kinds of living entities - ranging from angelic to demonic, including varieties of ghosts and spirits - that most people ordinarily don't see.

Drug experiences are confusing... You may be perceiving real spirits or experiencing chemically-induced hallucinations. (But whatever is seen in hallucinations probably really exists somewhere in infinity ... Confused

)

Guys, guys, guys.

Sleep paralysis is a common condition experienced by millions of people the world over and does not mean you are being visited by ghosts or demons. It's a dream! A freaky kind of dream but a dream! Jeez.....It's 2006 people!! It's not the middle-ages when everything weird was put down to a supernatural influence.

Science discounts the existence of the soul, which is a nonphysical element, because there is no physical proof of it. Consequently, despite their ability to explain practically all physical phenomena through relativity theory and quantum mechanics they cannot logically explain consciousness - which is a symptom of the soul.

Thus (to continue the bluff that they can know it all...) they have to try to debunk anything that suggests that there is a soul. The mind, although material, is more subtle than the brain. Although there is a correlation between mental activities and chemical and electrical processes in the brain, the mind - the suble covering of the soul - can wander from a particular body during out-of-body experiences.

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are really nothing new. Everyone has had them, for dreams are nothing less than an out-of-body experience. During sleep, we enter the dream state when our subtle body (consisting of mind, intelligence and ego) leaves the gross form and enjoys a different reality on the subtle plane. The subtle body is the vehicle which carries the soul out of the body and into another, new body at the time of death.

People who need to have everything "proved" to them empirically by scientists lack common sense. If you eat a big meal and feel satisfied do you need a scientist to explain that to you? No, just by "gut feeling" you're convinced. Similarly, (as a matter of consciousness...) if someone thinks he's experienced a ghost (which is a soul with just a different kind of subtle body ...) he -or- she don't need no stinkin' atheist scientists explaining that a scene like this one (below) is theoretically impossible...

Feeling full is not hard core proof that one has eaten everything they need to. I would think it's theoretically possible to tap into the part of the brain that rewards us for eating and some how block it. So the "gut feeling" is part of our physical system, it's not necessarily a case for faith.

I suppose that scientists cannot prove that ghosts are impossible, but you saying that proof is not necessary does not make a strong case for your point.

I have experienced these dreams as well. Sometimes they seem random, other times they don't. I believe these dreams explain why so many people believe in alien abductions, fairies, ghosts, so on and so forth.

I believe that if one is sober one can know if he (or she) has experienced something or not. Science may not be able to detect phenomena that are too subtle too be measured. Just because physical proof is absent doesn't mean that the person didn't experience a ghost or whatever...

I have found Koreans to be much more believing in succubi/incubi than the general N. American public.

Wow
I just read this thread for the first time. Its a little scary but also reassuring. I've had VERY similar experiences to many of you posting here - The Fonz, TigerBeer, SoulKitchen etc.
Very, very similar, I just don't feel comfortable describing them here.

And the two most terrifying ones occurred in Korea.

I have also had a 'peaceful' experience/vision at a hut in Jirisan Mountain. This one I do feel comfortable describing.

I woke up in the morning to see a young guy holding a coffee standing at the end of my bed, his weight on one leg, looking comfortable and peaceful. Wearing a red/blue plaid shirt and 1970's style hair-do. As I sat up and stared at him, I said, "good morning, who are you? Is it time to go?" (we had a 5am hike planned). I was the ONLY one in the hut because it was a women-only hut and there was only my boyfriend at the time and 2 old men (short hair) in the men's hut. He faded away in a few seconds.
