Paranormal Activity (Movie)

Loved the movie.  Hated the ending.  After seeing the plot, dialog, exposition, and pacing unfold so well, the ending just seemed off to me.  Did some research, and if you can believe wikipedia, the ending showing in theaters right now is not the original ending of the film as it has screened the past two years, but rather, one suggested by Steven Spielberg after the movie caught Hollywood's eye.  Bleh.

As far as real life goes, people say that certain people are more sensitivy to supernatural stuff than others.  Personally, I think in this day and age, if UFOs, ghosts, Bigfoot, or the Lochness Monster existed, one of the 6 billion people living on this planet would have captured proof of it on their cell phones. 

I think that the human mind is more mysterious and more powerful than any supposed supernatural forces out there.  I would be much more willing to believe that certain people are more capable of projecting supernatural like events into reality than others.

But what do I know.  To this day, I swear to god I saw Santa Clause when I was 7.

Age 10 or 11...   Fairly decent shape appt complex.   2am? in the morning.
(very dark outside.  Well past midnight)

 Went to go get a drink downstairs.  Went to take a step down the WELL LIT (bright)
staircase.  (Probably an 60 watt bulb, with off white walls... so very well lit)

 On the 4' * 8'  landing, there was an old lady rocking in a rocking chair.  Could see
thru her... but details were very clear as a traslucent white (much like you see in film).

 She was about 12 ft away from me.

 I of course was stunned, like a deer in headlights.  Heart skipping beats, then racing.
Searing Terror.   (Funny I was so scared considering it was an old lady!  But you
never expect to ever see something like that...)

 Pinched my hand..  Felt pain... she was still there.
 Slapped my face... felt pain.. She was still there.
 Bit my tongue.  Tasted Blood...  She was still there.

 Seconds felt like minutes...  But I know I was staring at her for at least 60 seconds..
if not more.

 I thought about trying to talk to her...  But quickly recalled the moment in Ghostbusters...
where the old lady "blew up"...  and with that, I left a trail of fire behind me as I cowered
back into the safety of the bedroom covers.

 Never saw anything like that again.
 Never did any drugs.
 Didnt drink till age 25.

 I remember it like it happened yesterday.

Xiaou2:

 There are rare cases where ghosts have been captured on film.  However,
most will look at the pictures and just claim they are fake.  And heck,
I agree that most stuff probably is faked.  Today, with things like photoshop
and green screens..etc..  almost anything is possible.

 Seeing / Hearing / Feeling... is believing.  Especially when these things happen
frequently... and never used to happen before.   Also, I believe more in
integrety than any reality tv show.. or unknown person popping up some
supposed evidence.   I know people who are honest, whom Ive known for
years... who have seen and experienced similar things.  Who have nothing to
gain.. .and more to lose by confiding in me their experiences. 


 When I saw a ghost, it was well before the cell phones..etc.   However, even
IF I had one... I would have been too scared to even open it up.  When you
see something like that..  you are stunned beyond belief.  Overcome with shock...
you feel like you cant even move... no matter how you try.

 Also, not everyone can see them.  That does not mean they are not there...
or that they can not move things..etc.

 I liken it to Radio.   Most people are tuned to a perfect   99.7   .The spirits may
exist on Station 87.9     .Some spirits can see our station... and some of Us, can
see theirs, by tuning into their frequency.

 We are usually the gateway or amplifier.. that can give them power.   Its my believe
that anything strong enough to actually move something... is a team effort.  (Several
entities working together) 


 Also, remember that consciousness goes well beyond the mind.  Everything... down
to microscopic levels.. seems to have formed into an all too perfect dance... which
comes to form our total being.  We thing in terms of large scale.. often ignoring
what makes the small stuff tick.. and what could have created all the rules and
regulations to make that small stuff do its work so elegantly.  Pure chaos can
not account for all of this.
 

 Reality is a lot stranger than we usually give credit.

shmokes:
Xiaou2, do you think that you are unable to experience pain or taste blood in dreams?

isucamper:
X, I'm not saying you didn't see what you thought you saw, but as soon as you jump into the realm of the supernatural as a form of explaination, how can you be so sure that what you saw was a ghost?

Maybe what you were seeing was an unintentional mental projection from you or someone else? 

Maybe there was a small rift to a parallel dimension and what you saw wasn't a ghost, but a living breathing person that exists just under the fabric of our own dimension? 

Maybe your mind was being controlled by a telepathic prankster? 

I guess my point is, even if you think you've seen a ghost, it doesn't prove ghosts exist.  In fact, to me, ghosts are the least likely explaination for these sorts of happenings.  If ghosts existed.  There would be billions of them.  Trillions.  They'd be all over the place.
