just made a light-hearted topic into a scientific one, sorry! For kicks, I'm sure you guys have all heard stories of spirits taking over bodies ... people acting weird and unnatural, completely unlike themselves, and then coming out of these episodes without any memory of what has occurred. My dad also tells us a story of a girl that lived in his neighborhood when he was young who would be taken over by a spirit, she would get angry, and behave completely unlike herself. In fact, her voice would change into a man's, somehow indicating a male spirit that had entered her body. As a child, I would get scared of these stories, but now I just roll my eyes. I'm sure my dad is not lying about this episode, but there are scientific explanations to explain these things. In fact, did you know, that is Dissociative Identity Disorder, where people display multiple identities without being conscious aware of these identities, sometimes also experience a change in their voices, which clearly explains this phenomena of spirits taking over.
I certainly did not intend to write this much. Apologies to those who bothered reading it. ;-)
Well, there is always a rational explanation. Paranormal activity is basically activity that is currently beyond scientific scope. Eerie, bizarre, inexplicable, absurd, irrational - occurrences that make no logical sense. The only thing is we have not found plausible or logical explanations yet.
My dad and grandma tell a lot of ghost stories too. My great grandfather apparently used to hunt witches. He and his sisters could see witches at night dancing around the well in the courtyard. They claim of seeing possessions, exorcisms and all that jazz. As a child, I would get creeped out. Now I just laugh it off.
But, to go back to not so normal stuff -
Whatever happened to the Romanovs? Where are the missing bodies?
Did the Philadelphia experiment take place?
What about crop circles?
Who built Stonehenge and the Pyramids?
Whats up with the Terracotta army?
Is there an El-Dorado
