HAHA! Genuinely laughed out loud at that and I don't do that very often when I read something.

what you say it true tho mate, makes ya think dont it i dont know if i believe or not because i've never witnessed anything ghostly.

I started to watch the clip, and just as the info came at the start I paused it and thought "this is one of those loud annoying things to make you jump" so I went to look at everyones replys but they seemed to be about ghosts and not some annoying clip. So I started watching it again thinking "which screen am I sposed to be looking at" and then the thing jamp out, but I didn't get a fright!!!

annoying arnt they.

Maybe I'm more gullible, but I hadn't seen it before, had my nose up to the screen with the volume up at 4am & I shat myslef lol I thought it might catch a few gullible fools such as myself.
This is all actually quite an interesting read, I am sceptical but open minded.

it didnt scare me, my wifes got black teeth like the ghost that pops up so im used to it

Em. So... I am not really a believer. I sort of dont really believe what I saw even.
I dunno. Anyway, if I was to argue for ghosts, I would say that if I saw one... emm, so, if I did, my brain could not tell it from anyone on the street.
In fact, the only way I knew that it wasn't some normal guy was because he vanished.
It might have even been a normal guy, ( I sort of wanted it to be because that involves less thinking ). He might have somehow gotten in, not robbed anything, even the money, and then... got out. Somehow.
It seemed fairly impossible at the time, but... I dunno.

But, I mean, my point is, if it was a "ghost" there was nothing ghostly about any of it. There was no cold feeling, no dread, no chains or sheets.
It was a dude. Who I thought was thieving.

Therefor, you could be seeing ghosts every day of the week. Ghost dogs. Ghost fish. Ghosts all over the shop. The only reason that I thought I saw a ghost was the part that a person should/could not behave that way.

That would be the logical extension, right?

oh and where is the plane then, you know the one that did not hit the pentagon??

Erm i'm sure you could filnd a misslie that would do far less dmamage as well as one that could do far more. C'mon dude your a military boy so you must know about the yanks MOAB (mother of all bombs) and how big and powefull that was/is. Now that would have taken out half the building if it hit it in the right place. the lack of any substantial airplane parts as well as the lack of a black box leave me sceptical.

And i have no idea where that other plane is. Do you know for a fact it took of and didnt land elsewhere? have you seen flight logs for it or is your question based on "them" saying there was a plane?

You're a moderator now I see?
I say old chap.

How about them ghosts?
Its some mystery eh!

We beat Wales too in the rugger. As far as I remember.
I never take any pleasure in beating Wales though.


Edit... oh yeah. The point of my post.
"Yes it does use the phone and TV cannels to communicate sometimes but thats gets really old really quick."

Yaysus.
Does that mean it says stuff through the TV?
That would be new underpants time for me.
That would be new trousers time for me in fact.

jay-zuz Philly you ole bolloks ya, where ya been? And howya?

and yeh, they held a mocha-frappa-chocha-chino to my head till i agreed ot be a mod. no wonder this place has gone downhill a bit since eh?

And, PMSL, no he never said things thru the telly etc, he'd just change chanells turn the volume up or down or make the phone ring and when you answered it there would be nothing. No dial tone, no "sounds like its connected but the other person aint hung up properly" sounds either.

I did get a little curious about the phone thing tho and on a very brave evening sat by the phone and said out loud " I dont believe you can make the phone ring blah blah" goading him and guess what. The phone did ring. Again it was only me and my girl in the house at the time and she was sitting opposite me. This was also before everyone and their (ghost) dog had mobile phone so it wasnt her being clever.

Not exactly spooky but still very odd and nothing i can explain sensibly.

Totally unprovable (without double checking everything you see is real and not "ghostly") and incredibly implausible, but not disprovable either so sure, why not hey?
In your position I would have made the lads I worked with tell me everything they knew about this "ghost" from your story. How often will you find yourself in that position again?

For the record, I'm not completely closed-minded about weird stuff, I'm not even really a cynic. It would be a brilliant experience to witness something genuinely incredible or paranormal, and I believe I would be able to spot something like that if it happened. I haven't, and I don't really believe anyone else has, because I've never been convinced by their accounts or evidence. Everything has an explanation, it's just that "ghost" can be convenient, exciting and something to make a story out of. Maybe all the tall-tale-tellers, exploiters, tricksters, money-grabbers and band-wagon-riders have spoilt things for the few that speak the truth.
