You can never know where it is most prominent until you encounter it

My ghost cheated on me. He is haunting my neighbor...

What should I do???

I feel used...


Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.

I frequently go to a closed down school because I can use it to build stuff or work on things that I would normally not be able to do in my apartment. I've been there at all hours of the day and all hours of the night. It's in the middle of the mountains and is a Taisho era school. Driving up to it at night with my headlights on, I can tell it has that tetxbook haunted house feel to it (and looks like something out of resident evil 4). Someone else who goes there is a carpentar, and sometimes her machines turn on for seemingly no reason... Also, one night I was loading some tatami into a room and for the first time I had the distinct feeling I wasn't alone. I was holding a big tatami mat (one of the bigger sizes). It's not like the new kind with styrafoam and stuff in the middle. If it had anything in the middle it was like solid wood. It was mostly grass that they actually make tatami out of. It seemed so heavy... but I had that weird feeling that I wasn't alone so I didn't wanna walk too quickly with it in my hands. Once I got it to its destination and set it down, I went to grab another mat. The feeling was gone. As I walked into the room with the other mat, I saw two lizards crawling out of the mat I had just carried before.

I totally do not believe in the "paranormal" and think there are always reasons for these things. I probably subconsciously knew the lizards were there by their smell and breathing and slight movement. The machines turning on without reason are probably due to electricity flowing into them. It's nothing to be afraid of. In fact, I would argue that it's a way to make money for some people. I think that there may be some people who believe really strongly in the paranormal, but I think that has to do with chemicals in the brain. If you've had a lot of relatives pass away recently, then you're bound to be looking for answers or trying to communicate with them. That's where the money taking and schemesters come into play.

My wife believes in ghosts and stuff a little bit... so I think she doesn't like the place I go to (when I go at night)... but frankly, I would be more worried about the wild dog that got upstairs at around midnight one time when I went there. There are also bears and things, too. In the cities, you have a bunch of weirdo people. Whether you live in the city or a more country area, there are always more important things to worry about then the "paranormal", which may or may not exist (evidence?). Frankly, I am a little let down in how seriously a lot of Japanese believe in this kind of stuff!

I don't believe in the paranormal, but I do believe that demons/angels do exist, being that I was tormented by a demon for years. But I don't believe that spirits can walk around, etc., but I mean, if someone can claim they see it, welp, by all means, believe what you believe... I just have never seen any such thing, but have heard a voice so evil it makes any horror movie seem like Barney...I'm dead serious...

No pun intended lol

Frankly what I find incredibly scary is the fact that even though we are now well into the 21st centrury people still believe in the paranormal. It truly astounds me that people still believe in things like gods or ghosts or pshycics or astrology, etc.
These concepts which have their roots in the ignorance of the past, when human knowledge of the world around them was extremely limited have no place in todays age in my opinion.

Such willingness to believe in things for which there is no proof whatsoever is in my opinion a dangerous way of thinking. To believe in things on faith rather than logic and reason opens you up to believing in almost anything, I mean where do you decide to draw the line? Such thinking opens you up to being manipulated by religions, governments, cults and just about any crackpot organisation or individuals out there. When you require no proof to beleive in something is there anything that you wouldn't believe in? What for instance is more believable about the stories of Christ over those of Muhammad? Or maybe the Mormon stories of Christ coming to the US? Are they all right or are they all just as ridiculous as each other? In my opinion today more than ever with religious extemism on the rise throughout the world it is becoming more and more important that people turn away from faith based beliefs to those founded on facts and reasoned, logical thought.

The more you expand your knowledge about the world and cosmos around you the more you come to realise how incredibly amazing it is. You need no supernatural explanations to find wonder in everything around you. Science provides all the wonder you could ever want.

So demons and angels are not paranormal or supernatural?

Tormented by a demon? I assume you sought out therapy for this?
