What causes the ability to see paranormal things?

It is not a confirmed fact, but it is believed that people can see paranormal things for a few reasons:

1. They've had a past experience in their life that changes the way they think, allowing them to see paranormal things

2. People who are very observant can pick up on paranormal activity

3. Some people are just simply gifted with the ability to see paranormal things

4. Others decide they want to see paranormal things and meditate, asking the divine to allow them to see such things and after much practice, can.

James Van Praague has an excellent book out on the subject.

Did giants exist?

No, giant humans have never existed. Neanderthals, who lived in Europe until tens of thousands of years ago, were massively built and far stronger than our species of humans, but certainly no taller than we are.

What is a paranormal medium?

The term "medium" as applied in a paranormal context means a person with specific abilties. A medium is usally thought to be able to communicate with "discarnates". A discarnate is the name for an intelligent entity that has no physical body. The term parapsychologists use for this ability is "After Death Communication" or ADC. Persons who claim to be "psychic" generally are thought to have abilties including thought transference among living individuals (telepathy) or seeing, hearing or knowing about events (clairvoyance, clairaudience or clairsentience) in the present, past (retrocognition) or future (precognition). People who believe in survival of bodily death, such as Spritualists for example, say that mediumship proves that survival in fact occurs. While many examples of interesting "cross-correspondences" have been documented in which a single discarnate seems to have sent similar or related messages to several mediums that do not know each other, there is a logical problem proving mediumship and survival. It is possible that mediumistic communications are the result of ADC. But, putting aside fraud for the moment, it is also possible that precognitive or retrocognitive clairvoyance, clairaudience or clairsentience could also explain mediums' abilities. Suppose that had a deceased Aunt Edith. You went to a medium and you were told that your Aunt Edith was speaking. Suppose further that the medium told you some details about Aunt Edith such as a pet name she had for her husband which you did not know at the time. You checked after the sitting and discovered this was in fact correct. How might the medium have known this? Again putting aside fraud, the medium might have been in contact with Aunt Edith. However the medium might also have witnessed the moment that Aunt Edith and her husband Uncle Fred agreed on this word or the moment in the future when it was discovered from some other living family member that this information was correct. While the alternate explanations are almost as astounding as the notion of After Death Communication, they cannot be fully dismissed. To control for fraud in laboratory experiments, the sitter and medium are allowed no contact and do not even know each other in any way. Statements from sittings are often combined and sitters are asked to score the statements. Success occurs when a significant number of statements belonging to the correct sitters are recognized by those sitters from a larger comingled collection of statements. Guessing is controlled for by calculating the random chance expectation of guessing and determining if the medium's performance has exceeded that expectation, which in general it does.

Do presbyterians bless houses?

Presbyterian churches typically do not have a specific practice of blessing houses. Instead, their focus is primarily on communal worship and spiritual guidance within the church setting. However, individual pastors may offer prayers or provide pastoral care to church members in their homes if requested.

What is the spiritual meaning when unexpectly seeing a robin bird?

I don"t take much stock in ornithomancy . A robin or Thrush is of course, a sign of Spring. Robins are migratory birds- which might explain the term Round -Robin for an exchange circuit of stamp collectors- rotating sports assignments, etc. It is a good sign that the weather is normalizing.

How do you die if you burn a ouija board after it screams?

you end up in a mystical world of light until you starve and get devoured by unmercyful demonic spirits

Can you throw away an ouija board?

no... its probably best if you ignore it, keep safe.. i made up this silly ghost story and my friends thought it was real and went and did it, here the story (made short)

I was messing with my mates on an ouija board having a laugh, then one of my friend just passed out, i tried to throw it away but the spirits in the ouija board kept messing with our heads and we kept having 'near death experiences'. the ghosts were posessing us and driving us cray, on of them died.

and after i told them the story one ACTUALLY went and tried it out.. and got posessed and tried to kill people.

so i wouldn't :|

How do you make the ouija board?

Ideomotor effect. Basically, the body moves according to the intent of the user(s). To get a spirit board working you (or at least one of the users) has to expect the pointer to move.

Once you and some friends get the pointer moving you'll notice that it quickly spells easily recognizable words and misspells any words that you would misspell.

For more fun, have someone change the orientation of the board while the users are blindfolded and then record what they spell.

*another answer you may be interested in*

This is only a point of view, you can listen, you don't have to. I personally wouldn't recommend using a Ouija board, even "just for a laugh".They can be dangerous. The Ouija boards usually only contain demons, adverse spirits, and poltergiests,which as we all know are very bad. Incorrect use of a Ouija board, can result in very frightening experiences and occasionally,possession. People move houses after "playing" with a Ouija board.It is also rare to contact good spirits,loved ones, and angels..Play it at your own risk. All my luck if you choose to use it.

I made some words bold to show you Im not joking

Can you transform into an animal?

No, as far as I know, you are not able to turn into an alien, in sims 3 or sims 2. In sims 3, so far they do not have alien abduction like they did in sims 2. I predict they will add that later though, probably upgraded.

How did Jim from ghost whisperer get back into his body?

Okay,,

Jim never got back into his own body. he went into Sam Lucas's body. The reason you see him as Jim, is (story-wise) because that is how melinda sees him. but really, it's because the man that plays Jim plays a main character and it would be all too drastic if they cut him off and replaced him. And the viewers would get frusterated seeing Melinda with another man.

What do you do if there is paranormal activity in your home?

a poltergeist is a ghost wich throws crockery and tumbles furniture *answer to your question* To get a poltergeist to leave, you can simply say "In the name of Jesus Christ and our Holy God, I command you to leave, you are not scaring us." It should take a hint, but if it refuses to leave, you may want to call a paranormal investigator and a medium in to help, good luck :)

Difference between superstition belief and scientific explanation?

AnswerSome say that all religions are superstition, with the possible exception of philosophical Buddhism or philosophical Daoism. But not all superstitions are religions.

For a superstition to be a religion, it must involve a consistent belief in one or more gods or controlling spirits, and usually involves worship of some god or spirit. So superstitious belief in ghosts, or in the luck that comes from certain numbers or from walking under ladders, does not constitute religion.

What is a shadow walker?

It is one that does not choose a side between dark or light. They walk the grey path.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The Shadow Walker is a person who "walks the line between Light and Darkness; yes. BUT they Also possess the power of each side, and yet hold no ties to either side. They are confused by some for being Witches, Devil Worshipers- whatever you can name, which is considered "Evil," that is what they are considered.

However, there is also the fact to consider that they possess the Power from Spirit, which so few can attain and comprehend, along with the attitude they carry is inexplicable, by those considered to be "normal."

If you cannot understand the limitations and limitation-releases of the Spirit, then there is no point in trying to understand the Real Shadow Walker, because it will go beyond your understanding in every way.

If you wish to truly understand the Real Shadow Walker, then it is best to Speak to a Real Shadow Walker, instead of debating Truth and Lies, versus Fact and Fiction, over something of the matter. Trust me, when I say, that unless you truly Know the Shadow Walker, then you will not understand it completely. The only way to Know the Shadow Walker is to Be a Shadow Walker.

That's difficult to say. A person who has stayed behind after death may cause activity because they are angry, upset, poking fun, or trying to tell you something.

What kind of paranormal explanation is there for your room shaking?

First off, make sure the couch is level on it's feet,and the couch structure is solid. Look to see the floor is securely attached to the joists and floor isn't warped. Notice,if any,natural phenomenom that might be causing shake(proximity to railways,heavy industrial traffic,seismic activity?). If not, then it could be some type of poltergeist activity is happening. Eliminating whatever natural causes that could contribute to situation narrows down the possible explanations as to why. Poltergeists seem to have a rather strong physical connective to our reality,hence;door knobs turning,objects thrown around,the typical stuff. Be cautious,if this situation starts to become more intense and uncomfortable,DEFINITELY contact an outfit that can assist you and arrive at a conclusion. Don't provoke it and don't be afraid,just be determined to be rid of it if you don't like what's happening.

Why are ghosts supposedly scary?

In my opinion,most ghosts aren't scary. They're just human, but dead. However, they can still be scary. First of all, some ghosts were horrible, cruel people in life and stayed that way after their death. Those are the ghosts who are more likely to hurt people. What makes that worse is that most people cannot see them nor can they kill them. Also the ghosts that aren't even human, aka daemonic, are definitely worth being scared of, but they are least likely to encounter. Unless things are really creepy, don't worry about ghosts. Like I said, they're mostly human.

Another Opinion

I may be laughed off of WA for this, but there is a story in the Bible about women who did just that. They weren't referred to as "ghosts," however. Read it for yourself in Genesis chapter 6. Here is verse 4:

Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

The term "sons of God" is used in other verses in the Bible to refer to angels. Demons, according to the Bible, are fallen angels. Genesis 6 indicates that one of the reasons that God sent the flood that Noah survived on the ark, was because of these illicit relationships that these women were having with demons.

What humans now call "ghosts" the Bible calls demons or evil spirits. They are not disembodied humans, they are angels who sinned and are now following Satan.
