That's what you THINK it says. In the original Hebr-arabi-greeky text it says something far different than ye suppose. But schooling to learn all that stuff can be very expensive - so instead SHEPSMOM can just by my little book : "How to exorcise trunks for dummies" for 19.95 plus shipping. Simple, fast and affordable.

Lots of questions,

How much did it open? How old is the house? Did you hear the handle move?

Its probably nothing. Doors open and close all the time by themselves.

BTW, this is coming from someone who believes in Ghosts.

And your list isn't anywhere near complete! The OP didn't tell us whether any of the windows in the bedroom were open at the time. If they were, then maybe the wind is responsible. I know, I know: wind is a lot less exciting than a ghost. But sometimes I can't help having these kinds of thoughts.

Not even necessarily "otherworldly" or "supernatural", just currently unexplained. It is amusing that some random anonymous person who doesn't even know me (or apparently know anything about the subject) is going to tell me what I saw (or didn't see). Whatever...

It's amusing that some random anonymous person is going to tell me that supernatural things exist, when in the entire history of humankind, there has never been scientific proof of such a thing, and said random anonymous person insists that he has evidence to prove it...but when called on it, refuses to produce said evidence. I wouldn't believe you if you said you saw Santa Claus, either.

Whatever...

When did I say I had evidence to prove to the world that supernatural things exist? You can't call someone on something that didn't happen. Did you even read my posts?

All I have are the experiences of my family and myself that are very out of the ordinary. I don't know what is going on at my place, but it sure as hell isn't mass psychotic hallucinations or hoaxes. The OP seems to feel he/she is in the same situation and I sympathize with them. That's it.


Then you come along and start denouncing everything that doesn't fit your idea of reality in your little world. You present no proof of your position other than your own opinion that everyone who says something unexplainable hapened to them is mentally ill.

Well, you're welcome to your opinion, but it falls short as an explanation in my experience. I couldn't care less if you belive me but you have no right or business telling people what they did or didn't experience. You were not there.

So... since we're all on the suject of proving intangible things, prove to me you aren't and indignant troll.

Uh huh.... you know, my next door neighbor when I was growing up repeatedly saw a demon in her closet. For months & months, she would wake up screaming & her family would come in & pray for her but it kept getting worse & worse. It was a pesky demon & would just sit there on her shoe rack. Must have been a trainee because it wasn't ready for opening doors yet.

Then after 3 stints in the mental hospital & a good dose of medication for her chemical imbalance, she never saw that "demon" again. Funny isn't it?! I guess demons don't like minds working in a rational manner & move on.

Well of course you would have to know the difference between a chemical imbalance, and demon activity. Tell me, is a chemical imbalance the reason some heavy physical objects levitate in the air while others watch?

phelps

Science is the study of repeatable natural phenomenon. Of course you're not going to get scientific evidence for the supernatural because almost by definition you can't. You're almost certainly not going to get scientific evidence for set-theory either as infinities don't, probably can't, occur in nature. I doubt you can use science to write down every lost work of Sophocles either.
