Communicating with the dead

You in danger, gurl!

Ask them to visit in dreams is your most authentic bet .

My elderly father said never mess around with the devil, and I haven’t!

Everything we know about the brain and consciousness makes the 19th century concept of communicating with the dead absurd.

R4, is a rigid atheist dullard

Grandma, can you hear me?

Yeesss. I can hear you.

Grandma! Why did you leave me out of your will?

I was afraid you’d piss the money away.

Oh really? I’m not sorry for shooting you then!

Do spirit boxes work?

My grandfather was very good at this, unfortunately it drove him insane (it usually does) and ultimately killed him. I would suggest, with what I know about my grandfather, suggest in the most emphatic voice to not get into this.

And what is the story behind that, R8?

Have you ever seen a pebble put on top of a gravestone? It is a Jewish custom said to allow a soul to visit Earth again and know that people are thinking of them. I guess the souls have a place to stay inside the pebble? The pebble is supposed to be removed once the visitor leaves so the soul knows it's time to go back.

Houdini and his wife Bess worked during his lifetime to unmask the frauds involved in this industry, which was huge at the time. In the event of either of them dying first they had a plan to communicate with a secret word. Bess never received that word, pretty much proving that it was impossible.

I know this man. Just as an aside, he is openly gay, and married with a husband and at least 1 child. It has been awhile since I have talked to him.

Anyway, I know him, not through this work., but through his previous work as a therapist.

He is one of the nicest and most interesting people I have ever met. And he helped me tremendously.

As I said, I have not done any work with him as a medium. But I can vouch for him being a very sensitive and deeply in tune individual.

Bunp

How old are you OP, given this has been an all your life kind of thing?

Armand, you in danger, gurl!

cpr was quite helpful.

Try the Ouija board again, sometimes it takes a few tries.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO THERE !!! You are nessing with stuff you dont know about and will bring terrible spirits into your life. You must know how to protect yourself and how to get rid of it once you bring it across. If you must play with fire you need to read extensively about it first... dont be stupid.

^^^^^ yes

I watched Vincent Price in the Masque of the Red Death, and that convinced me to stay away from witchirinoooos!

Message, gurllllll! Don’t do it!

*Nessa!!

We don't know her.

Real classy-base people!!

OP is going down to Boogaloo to kick it up, and he’s going to find out…

Will the evil dead get us for reading this thread? Are they connected to my WiFi?

OP, can I have your stuff?

Not your pentagrams and such, you can keep those.

What are the horrible spirits that get unleashed? Aristocrat Vodka? Four Roses Whiskey?

I’m waiting to communicate with the living before I branch out. It’s going to take a while.

I guess eternity is so boring that spirits in the afterlife jump at the chance to play weird games with giggly kids and con artists.

I always thought we were having a good time.

OP, put down that planchette right this minute!

Zzzzzzz….

You cannot communicate with dead people, OP.

That’s why if you want to talk something through with someone, ask questions, whatever, do it NOW before one of you drops dead, because that’s happening, no matter what.

Life and communication are for the living ONLY, OP.

Is the ectoplasm in the room with us now, OP?

R30 looks like a supercunt!

R32, AfterShock.

r40 looks more like a cock with that haircut.

Over forty replies and no one has posted this?

When I was a teenager me and my friends tried communicating with the dead using a home made ouija board. I cut little letters out on cardboard and we used and placed our fingers on it. The cup went from letter to letter. After one weekend our phone wouldn’t work on one room and my room smelled like sulphur. My mom didn’t know about the seance and I remember her cleaning my room trying to find out where the smell was coming from.

See!?

My elderly father took my sainted Southern mother to see The Sentinel on one of their first dates, and she was so horrified she was sick in the bathroom. When he was telling me this story, my elderly father added, “And I had just bought that dinner!”

Be careful. You could get an attachment. Every time a friend or family member passes, including pets they always come to me in dreams. Immediately. Some only once, others more often, and for a while. Be open to it, but if you activity invite things in you usually end up with very unpleasant things.

I'm not superstitious but I had an experience with a Ouija board once in high school that still scares me to this day. My two friends and I received an answer that none of us could have possibly known and were able to verify it a few days later. We all were scared shitless and never messed with it again.

I can’t get over the gullible suckers who believe you can actually summon demons with a party game aimed at horny teens looking for some giggles. Does it come with a leather-bound grimoire of magick sigils and instructions on casting the circle of forbidden names using conjuring spells to evoke the Kings of Hell while smearing the blood of the sacrifice over one’s stark naked body? I thought not.

DARK MAGA

R18 They hate to be called out, you know. I did a reading on your behalf, and I advise you to cover all your mirrors for the next 48 hours. Be alert, but not too alert. Things should calm down by Sunday.

Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like you, OP?

I've never even bothered an attempt at honing my abilities. It happens when it happens, and I'm fine with that.

Just kicked a nutcase who said he sees ghosts, out of my life.

How fortunate for the nutcase!

This is complete nonsense, and my deceased mother Martha is here to tell you so.

FUCKING QUEERS!!!

Beware ungodly dorksided garguile slychic stuff like this, OP. You'll be tainted!

Ouija boards are complete nonsense. Look online for the experiment done with 4 strangers who were using one and got all these answers to their questions and SWORE they weren't moving the planchet. Then they blindfolded them and asked them to do it again. They got complete gibberish.

When my bf was alive he thought my being into the paranormal was ridiculous! he would have loved nothing more than to destroy my books on the subject of the dead. When you're gone your gone!" Now that he is gone I am so skeptical. But I have gotten signs that are so "him" or ways that he would know that would get my attention. When he died I stopped believing in a lot of things. Some things I just can't explain away as coincidence. He liked the song Personality by Lloyd Price one night on a Canadian radio station I listen to, that song came on six times in a three-hour rotation. still like to do things for special days like his birthday. I attempt to communicate in hopes of catching some EVP's. I have gotten a few but Can I say I know they are from him no I can not. I am thinking about getting a ghost box like OP.

Interesting r48, what was it you found out? Can you share?

There is no afterlife. Enjoy your life here. There is no there, there.

I think it's fabulous. Keep it up OP!

Ask your loved one's who have passed for a sign. Keep an open mind.

Sometimes…dead is bettah.

What’s a ghost box?

Is a ghost box like a jar you would use to catch a bug when you were little?

R18 and R19, can you recommend some reading on the subject?

Another question for our otherworldly scholars out there: which religions specifically forbid communication with the dead?

Is echovox an Amazon product?

Christianity!

Hey, Siri....

There most certainly is an after life

I think the spirit of my dead cat is in communication with my current cat and is encouraging her to crap on the floor like she used to do.

R48 - when I was in high school these twin girls I was friends with suddenly were mad at me and stopped speaking to me. I asked the ouija board why they were mad. My cousin controlled the board. The answer was, "they saw a cig". My cousin and I were confused as hell. A few days later I finally confronted them and it turns out they were in fact mad since they saw me smoking a cigarette.

Another time another friend and I were messing with the board in a park. A spider started crawling on me (Im terrified of them). We stopped and my friend took the board and left it in her car. She got into a car accident the next day.

I do believe in the afterlife and that we are all connected and return to spirit. If you are open minded you can "ask" for signs from loved ones. But as far as the ouiji board and trying to talk to the dead I stopped messing with those things.

Greetings from my greedy pussy!

If people could communicate with the dead, surely many of our questions regarding the afterlife and god himself could be answered. We do not have any of these answers still after millions of years, so as far as I’m concerned it’s a big nothing.

also most people who die painfully or of some awful diseases probably can’t wait to rest eternally- I doubt they will be thrilled to be summoned back to what was probably their personal hell hole.

If there is nothing after we die, then Life is one big fucking joke and a waste. What's it all for? The good times, the bad times, the grief, the joy, the love, the hate, all that energy. And for what? Where does it go? What's the fucking point? I cannot imagine not existing. Scares the shit out of me.

Well, the great thing about not existing is that you are not aware it’s happening. Like the time before you were born.

I’ll be in heaven!

r79, this used to bother me too until I remembered Carl Sagan's "We are the way for the Cosmos to know itself." In other words we are here precisely to experience ALL of it until we die. There is no afterlife. We are here as the result of star stuff and we will die and go back to being star stuff.

How would he know?

Ive read up on some near death experiences. Several mention seeing a big powerful wheel, with a sensation that the wheel was representative of All That Is/God/Consciousness... with multiple panels on it showing multiple versions of reality you could enter. Trippy stuff.

Tilly? Is that you?

Noooooo. It’s Diana Piss here.

Ethel to Pussywether. Over Pussywether.

I find EVP interesting.

Pussywether?

Yes, this is Pussywether. WTF do you want?

Oh, are you comfortable where you are?

It’s hot here.

Oh my, Pussywether! You went there!? Bad girl.

If any of you get Discovery +, Josh Gates did a wonderful several parts series on Death and how other cultures deal with it. He talked to several people who survived near death experiences and it was really fascinating. All of them said it made them no longer fear death.

R46 I loved “The Sentinel.”

r83, I don't know...maybe it has something to do with him being one of the most intelligent, brilliant men in our history? I'd trust him way before I would trust some antiquated version of a "god" who promises that you get to fly around with wings and see all your dead relatives in some made up place called Heaven.

He still doesn’t know.

Tilly is that you?

Fuuuuuck youuuuuuu!

I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!!!

Read “Journey of Souls” by Michael Newton. You will never be the same afterwards.

Dying people communicate with the dead.

I’ve got the drizzly shits

I went to a medium a few years ago. It was in downtown LA. There is no way he knew anything about me. And I went not really believing one way or another. But in our two hour session things just blindsided me. He knew things. There was no way he could have known about the people who loved me and are now gone. His name was Brett San Antonio. He is a fantastic medium. Now that I had a loss in the last few months I want to go back. Anyway he has videos and stuff on YouTube and I get it that people don’t believe but he helped me when I needed it.

Did you just walk in for your appointment, r97 or did you set it up first? Because if you set up the appointment and then went, he had plenty of time to do some online work to find out a lot about you.

I've been trying to communicate with my dick for years and so far, nothing.

How is it different than communicating with the DL

[quote]I went to a medium a few years ago. It was in downtown LA. There is no way he knew anything about me.

He never heard of Google?

The dead have a better sense of humor R100.

OP you cannot communicate with the dead unless you think dreaming about them is. However dreams are entirely created by you! Thus you are scripting both sides of a conversation.

R103, is a sad “ realist “ who believes this 🌍 and the empty solar system is all there is . Dreams and just sensing their presence is more than enough . 🤗🦋

I’m not sad- not at all. That’s your projection.

R98. Good question. He did indeed have my name. And my last name. I get it. But one thing he did not have was the date of my Mother’s birthdate for example. And she had no online presence at all. And many other things. What Brett had was only my last name but when you go to his website he doesn’t even require that. He said something to me that only someone who died in my life would know. And he said other things too. But that one thing - which is to tell my Mom Happy Birthday sorry it’s two weeks late - when it was literally two weeks after my Mom’s birthday was really profound.

r105 with just your name, you can find out SO much, including your mom's date of birth and death. People pay background sites to do this all the time for employment or other reasons. Sorry that you felt it was profound.

You need to hold a seance!

Why can’t they hold a seance with the lights on?

What’s the difference?

Hmmmmmm?

Ethel to Pussywether

Why would the dead respond to a ouija board and not say, just someone chatting shit to thin air?

Shameless plug for Brett San Antonio by posting himself at R97

If you’ve ever known anyone who was a “medium” or claimed to communicate with the dead, it doesn’t take long before you realize they all suffer from mental illness.

It’s not possible to contact the dead, because people cease to exist when they die. Did you exist before you were born? And you won’t exist after your die either.

A very close friend visited a 'fortune teller', I don't know what they call themselves. But anyway, the stuff my friend learned was INSANE and has all come through thus far.

Lowered Expectatia.

Do not fuck with a Ouija board.

My Aunt Audrey said that her father had started talking to her in her dreams.

My Aunt Pauline said - bullshit, dad didn't even talk to Audrey when he was alive!

Was Audrey a cunt?

[quote]Do not fuck with a Ouija board.

Mediums are grifters. They make their living off of people's grief. I think that's one of the most evil things you can do, but then again people gladly hand over their hard earned money to these charlatans.

R114 here. My friend's medium/fortune teller/ whatever da fuck they call themselves, revealed my friend's career, future husband, a friend of hers who was secretly pregnant- all came through.

Or true ^^^, whichever way you look at it

El Diablo!

You need to book an appointment with Hollywood Medium, twink Tyler Henry. .. It was either this or Helix Studios.

What bad things happen if you use a Ouija board?

What say you, Oda Mae?

^I got the following from an Amazon review of a Ouija board:

Never play alone! Never let the spirits count down through the numbers or go through the alphabet as they can get out of the board this way. If the planchette goes to the four corners of the board it means that you have contacted an evil spirit. If the planchette falls from a Ouija board, a spirit will get loose. If the planchette repeatedly makes a figure eight, it means that an evil spirit is in control of the board. If you should get an evil spirit, quickly turn the planchette upside down and use it that way. The board must be "closed" properly or evil spirits will remain behind to haunt the operator. Never use the Ouija when you are ill or in a weakened condition since this may make you vulnerable to possession. The spirit of the Ouija board creates "wins" for the user, causing him to become more and more dependent on the board. Addiction follows. This is called "progressive entrapment." Evil spirits contacted through the Ouija board will try to win your confidence with false flattery and lies. Always be respectful and never upset the spirits. Never use the Ouija in a graveyard or place where a terrible death has occurred or you will bring forth malevolent entities. Witchboards are so named because witches use them to summon demons. The very first Ouija boards were made from the wood of coffins. A coffin nail in the center of the planchette window served as the pointer. Sometimes an evil spirit can permanently "inhabit" a board. When this happens, no other spirits will be able to use it. When using a glass as a message indicator, you must always cleanse it first by holding it over a burning candle. Ouija boards that are disposed of improperly, come back to haunt the owner. A Ouija Board will scream if you try to burn it. People who hear the scream have less than thirty-six hours to live. There is only one proper way to dispose of it: break the board into seven pieces, sprinkle it with Holy Water then bury it. If you must use a Ouija board, make your own. Arrange the letters and numbers, into a circle so whatever is trapped within that circle can't escape. If you place a pure silver coin on the board, no evil spirits will be able to come through. NEVER leave the planchette on the board if you aren't using it. Lecherous spirits from the Ouija board will sometimes ask young women to do rather . . . ah, odd things. Ignore them and always remember that your Ouija partner (i.e. boyfriend) has nothing to do with this. Three things never to ask a Ouija board: Never ask about God. Never ask when you are going to die. Never ask where the gold is buried.

Oops, sorry about the shitty formatting at r127

I’ve seen two separate mediums in the past two years and they both brought through dead grandparents who I wasn’t close with. Growing up my family was dysfunctional and my grandparents all seemed to dislike us because they were unhappy with my parents being married. I wondered why they’d bother talking to me but growing up with my extended family seeming to resent me really messed with my head. I lived most of my life wondering what I had to fix about myself and feeling like everyone hated me as soon as I met them. Maybe they had some regrets?

No, r129. They were dead. The dead do not feel regrets. Nor do they want to talk to your ass.

R127 In other words, don’t use a Ouija board if you’re on psychedelics or have a mental illness that makes you prone to paranoid hallucinations.

My sister was putting my 3 year old niece, Claire, to bed when Claire suddenly asked how many people currently live in their house. "You, me, and your dad," was my sister's reply. With the hair on her arms standing up, my sister then asked how many people Claire thought were living in the house. Claire pointed up to the ceiling and said there was an older woman there and then, as though listening to someone speaking, Claire struggled to pronounce her name. "Her name is Noh-in-ee and she is throwing hearts at me." My sister was truly speechless.

Our great-grandmother, Thelma, was affectionately known in our family as Noy-nee and died almost 40 years ago. She was from Pittsburgh and had a bit of a Yinzer accent; she pronounced her nickname Noh-in-ee. My sister lives far away from family and no one had ever mentioned these names to my niece before. My niece loves hearts and, incredibly, her great-great grandmother seemed to know this and used it to communicate with her.

R132 - I hope your sister had your niece exorcised as soon as possible.

Ouija boards are the biggest load of bollocks.

'Invented' in the 1880s in the US. So how the fuck did ghouls and goblins outside the US and before this period manage to communicate?

R113 To not remember our existence doesn't mean to not exist.

Every night we sleep and we have no coscience, but we exist.

When we were infants we existed but i doubt people remember their own birth and the first 3 years of their lives, and we existed.

The trouble I have with the "near death" experience is that it's just nearly dead...not really most sincerely dead. They just stood at the cliff's edge, they never jumped. I believe what happens after you jump is and entirely other order of experience, and then awareness lapses into the nothingness of death.

Ouija is simply a device that summons another type of spirit from beyond this dimension. You don't wanna mess with it because it is much smarter and more powerful than humans and has no good intentions towards them.

There doesn't need to be an afterlife. The mystery of life is that it is so magical and REAL and after all it's all we have. The Christian Church promulgated the afterlife idea because it makes slaves more tractable if they believe in a sweet bye-and-bye that will be sweetest for the saint that tolerates the most abuse. It's for SUCKAS.

Parker Bros has no good intentions toward you people, and that is fact, not conjecture.

R135... wow... that's so dumb.

"Communicating with the dead" is easier than trying to get Harry hard these days.

My creepiest and scariest ghost story for me happened about a year ago. It really was more of a posession than a ghost story. I was helping another nurse with a patient that had lived a very hard life. It had numerous things going on with him from cardiac to renal failure. You name it, he had it going on. This man was very much afraid to die. Every time his heart monitor beeped, he would just go into a rage screaming, "Don't let me die! Don't let me die!" The other nurse and I found out why he didn't want to die. About 0200 his cardiac monitor starts alarming V-Tach. We both rush into the room. I am pulling the crash cart behing me. When I get to the room, the other nurse is completely white. This man was sitting about 2 inches above the bed and was laughing. His whole look completely changed. His eyes just had a look of pure evil on them and he had this evil smile on his face. He laughed at us and said, " You stupid b****es aren't going to let me die will you?" and he laughed again. We were kinda frozen. I did reach up and hit the Code Blue button and when I did the man went into V-fib. He crashed back onto the bed. We started coding him, but after 20 minutes it was called. 5 minutes after the code was called several of the code team is in the room cleaning up when this man sits straight up in the bed and says, " You let him die. Too bad." and then begins laughing. The man collapsed back to the bed. We heard a horrible, agonizing scream ( actually every patient in the unit that night commented on the scream), and then you could hear "don't let me die" being whispered throughout the unit. Everyone of the nurses that night was pale and scared. No body went anywhere by themselves. By morning the whispers of "don't let me die" were gone. The night shift nurses had a prayer service in the break room before we left for home and then we all had nightmares for wee

To be fair, r140, you do sound like a stupid bitch.

R141- Wow. If I have a fuck about what you think that would have hurt. Thankfully, like everyone else, I don't.

Gave. Still don't. ☝️

WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE NURSES???!

It doesn’t matta!

Ghosts, zombies, demons! That explains the nursing shortage.

So he was levitating above his hospital bed?

Clear your mind and be open to being visited by someone who has died. At first, when my mom who passed many years ago, spoke to me it was a bit strange, but all she said was, "I'm here." She has since added a few more words, but just "hearing" her say, "I'm here" was fine with me. A few other people have contacted me, rather randomly, but I acknowledge them and they visit me from time to time.

Didn’t any of you see The Entity? You have to be careful with this sh*t

Just read your horoscope in the newspaper.

It’s safer 📰

R140.....what a load of absolute bull

the ouija board does not connect you with "the dead". The dead do not exist. The ouija board allows some entities, let's say, who/that are not "the dead" to communicate with you and manipulate and use you. These entities will impersonate dead people you know. Its not the dead people - again - because there is no such thing. These entities are almost always up to no good.

Imelda Staunton, The Crown.

^ Wrong thead. So sorry. But thx for the W&W.

When I was a teenager decades ago, a few of us kids tried to play with a Ouija board. We sat there with our fingers on the thing for about 1/2 hour. Nothing moved, Then one of our other friends joined us and the board started spelling out a message but one of the words was misspelled. I noticed that the misspelling was the same way our latest friend misspelled it before. I confronted him and he denied it at first but finally admitted that it was him and not the Ouija board.

How completely absurd. There are no spirits. There are no ghosts. There is no afterlife. Those promoting this kind of thinking are hucksters, part of an industry that preys on naive and lonely people.

[quote] Clear your mind and be open to being visited by someone who has died.

douche and lube up as an offering to show you're open to receiving the holy spirit

and whatever you do

do not look under the sheet

do not look under the sheet

as you can see you have a multitude of answers OP but if you are serious you need to find someone that can show you how. If you have not grown up being able to do this all along then you need to know some things.

For all those skeptics, it always makes me laugh because once you die you'll say, oh it was real ad you will have missed out on so much because you didn't believe. Are there crooks? of course, there are crooks in every line of business.

Can you hear me praying

Anything I’m saying

Even though the night is filled with voices…

[quote] once you die you'll say, oh it was real ad you will have missed out on so much because you didn't believe

So, ,you'll be burning in the pits of eternal damnation and torment with the rest of us for your grave sin here, no doubt. But we shall be in good company!

"once you die you'll say, oh it was real ad you will have missed out on so much because you didn't believe."

What have I "missed out" on? Do tell. Is it that I haven't asked my dead grandma how the weather is wherever her spirit is floating around?

r161 Knowing that granny and all of your ancestors were watching over you,

watching you defile yourself and others, and know all too well what's in your browser history

Is there nothing else to do in the afterlife but watch the action here? I hate reality tv I’m sure it hate that for eternity!

Also if I am observing this life from the “afterlife” will they bleep out the curse words and censor the sex?

r163 Well, heaven has an extensive waitlist and many believe you gotta give a B to the big J to even get thru the door. And hell is already above capacity, so yeah, pugatory.

r164 It'll be like cinemax in the 80s and 90s. You'll gert glimpses but unless you can convince a host to put their hands upon the static screen of a tv and pirate the station... there won't be enough of a connection to get the premium view.

a shame couldn't find a clip of Frank's personal hell in Hellraiser II

before fraus died, there were no trannies.

what you are missing out on is that there are those on the other side that are always helping you. When you think you are alone you are not but you don't get any benefit from it because you aren't open to it.

Are you going to hear them talking to you? I doubt it, but I can guarantee that you have missed out on signals that they have given you to let you know that they are there for you.

Of course there is life after death otherwise what the hell would be the point? and there is no damnation (hell) just levels, the better you are, the higher level you are on.

💩 shoes thread.

Good grief, R170.

The better I am at what, r170? It's hilarious that you think there is a hierarchy in the afterlife. Are spirits really that judgy? And who is doing the judging? Is this something I have to sign up for while alive?

I hereby agree to be a judge of spirits when I die and will sentence you to haunting a nice, suburban neighborhood if you are "good" and a dilapidated former asylum if you are icky. At least there you get to be investigated by the guys from Ghost Hunters and can throw out tiny orbs of light to be captured on their cameras and called anomalies! Or you can just whisper "get out" because you're happy to be alone.

r170 That's right and if you're willing to make some payments, I've got some properties in heaven to sell you if you want to meet the afterlife in style and comfort!

you'll see, some of you sooner than others..............

r174 Been there, done that... all I got was a sunny disposition to spread goodwill and cheer to all!

I couldn't find a decent flat in Kolkata and the DL has as much shit, so, here I am donating my time to you lepers of society.

When you die, you'll be lost to the annuals of time... but perhaps a piece of you will live on in the form of a leaked porn tape or people will discover your posts in some grand archive and cancel you and all your descendants, relatives and any, all, associated with the life you onced lived in the future... May you be a blight upon all of humanity for generations to come. May you haunt the dreams of children, be the boogiewoman of a more enlightened age and sow terror upon the once peaceful world it became

It's funny when people believe in stupid shit like this. They are so terrified of dying and they also think they are so special that they should somehow have eternal life and of course, a lot of them are mentally ill.

Does it count if you talk to someone whose career is dead?

People like R174 are mentally ill and no different than fundie xtians.

Near Death experience archive.

R152, I'm a Nigerian prince with restricted access to millions of dollars. I need you to send me 25k and the government of my country will then release those millions to me. Those are my birthright and I will share them with you.

I would always get the same message.

What about people - and there have been hundreds and hundreds - who are dying yet say they see their husband, father, mother, etc in their hospital room. They feel at peace and feel as if they are getting a message. How is it possible that So Many People in different parts of the world have this same kind of 'dream'? Is Everyones mind playing the same tricks just to give themselves a feeling of peace? I try to understand. Is there Any reality to this?

R182, it's not that mysterious. It's the brain shutting down and memories flooding.

Why are there always assholes such as R176 who post on this site to be abusive and needlessly denigrating of others who have a different view? How damaged they must be to try and insult everyone into their ridiculous ideas of what they believe is”higher” intellectual thought, as if to do so were the height of wisdom. No ideas are worth considering except what they believe is “scientific,” yet somehow, others are inferior for considering the alternatives and sharing stories. This isn’t even counting the trolls who ape this behavior.

^*believe are, in two cases.

"How is it possible that So Many People in different parts of the world have this same kind of 'dream'? "

Freud answered this in "The Interpretation of Dreams". There are countless examples of people from across the ages and locations all having the same dreams. Holy shit, tonight a fair few of us will a dream about losing a tooth or falling from a height and waking up with a jolt. It's not rare.

So I'm thinking Grandmother was off her nut when she claimed her sister tapped on the picture window in the living room, as a way of letting her know she was 'there'.

Granny read Wuthering Heights one too many times R187.

R188 She was a total Leslie Thomas fan, I'd believe her deceased sister tapped the window before I'd believe she was Bronte fan.

Zing!!! R189

Consider this r184. How is that poster any different than an arrogant self-righteous asswipe telling people that they will be sorry after they die and realize they were wrong and they are stuck on the bad side? They do not offer anything except their belief in their own opinion. They don't know but act as if they do. Like as I said above, no better than smug xtian fundies.

Consider this, R191: Your “argument” is an example of false equivalence and has no bearing on the subject at hand. No one other than you introduced the spectres of “arrogant self-righteous asswipes” and “smug xtian fundies” to the discussion. They have no relevance. Yet, you invoke them to prove that you, by way of their supposed existence, have every right to be an arrogant asshole when stating your own opinions, which you don’t. Abuse is abuse and only the weak-minded person would point to others to justify himself. Do everyone a favor and stay silent from now on. You are outclassed and offer nothing of value, other than existing as a good example of how adults are not supposed to function.

r184 because extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You cannot assert something to be true just because you "experienced" it. It has to be verifiable and so far, no one has offered any evidence other than claims of experiences.

"Abuse is abuse"

Mary! Grow a pair. This is the DL.

R184 told it like it T.I.is! I take my dreads wig off for R184!

Again, R193, irrelevant to the topic discussed.

I have, R194, and they’re bigger than yours. Fully formed adults understand the power of kindness, which there is plenty of on DL, just not in your world :)

P.S. I see now that R193/R194 are the same troll, among other posts. I could have addressed them as one, do forgive me.

R184 is a troll and is clearly outclassed. The adults are talking and if you can't stand criticism DL is not for you.

Sometimes I think it would be more enjoyable than posting to the DL

R198, it’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I see you are imitating my language at R192 to condemn me at R184. Thanks for proving the old saying right :)

I still don’t know why the patient didn’t want to die. Did he have an address on his gown: Straight to Hell?

Often I find it's the same as posting to the DL

Is a ghost box a female phantom’s vagina?

[quote] which religions specifically forbid communication with the dead?

The Episcopalians. Everyone else says it’s fine.

R204 - That's not correct but given the vast amount of misinformation, lies, and general stupidity that's posted on this website it really doesn't matter.
