Theres a lot we dont understand and that many cant 'see'. I think its a thing that some people are tuned in to and others aren't. The guy on holiday with the 13 repeating 3 times? please get a grip if your phone number added up to 13 would it freak you out even more??
However I know a very modest and unassuming guy who is able to see stuff if he concentrates, and has seen fatal road accidents and been able to tell the police how many have died by the number of white lights that flash upwards, solved a USA murder investigation by writing the guys signature, and could tell you if you had nicked a fiver from your granny earlier that day. He sees spirits all the time when he gets into the correct groove to do it.
So don't knock it, its just we plebs cant do it that's all. Most of us have lost the gift.

Is he whats known as a 'Seer'?

I've heard of one. He told a friend with quite staggering accuracy what somebody else was upto (someone the 'seer' didnt know at all) over 300 miles away.

Again - a very unassuming chap by all accounts.

Before they happen? If not, why would he need to tell the Police how many people have died? If it is before can he give a location and stop it happening?

solved a USA murder investigation by writing the guys signature

Wow - if true I'm amazed this is not worldwide news and a book and a major film etc. How has he dealt with all the publicity and requests to solve other murders? When his powers were put to some sort of rigorous scientific testing what was the result?

No he can't and no he didn't. He has a gift for making it look as if he can.

What if the sightings of big cats are actually people seeing the ghosts of big cats?
Well cats have 9 lives. Which makes me wonder, the cats that died in the Chernobyl nuclear accident, did they have 9 lives, or 18 half lives?

Oh well then, I take it all back. That's proof enough for me.

Yes he's written a book but that was about a very well known UK murder.
He only got into it in middle age because he thought he could help people. And does. I went to him on recommendation from a friend as I had a badly slipped disc and we got chatting.
What is normal to him is totally out of my comprehension. It was only when 'interrogated' he would mention eg a party last night where when he arrived there was an old man on the stairs telling him to 'fk off as well' and he smiled and the host said what are you smiling at. He didnt even tell her, but told me it was typical of a spirit being annoyed at people in their house.

Staggering, isn't it.

I'm beginning to think you and I are a thimble of reason being poured into an ocean of gullibility.

C'mon guys, this isn't Mumsnet, where silly women seem to swallow this tripe hook line and sinker.

I have a benevolent spirit that lives in the wardrobe, occasionally it leaves money in the pockets of jackets and trousers I haven't worn for some time, the really weird thing is it also exchanges it from Roman sestertii into modern currency (mostly).

I'm posting this at 11.57 on 06/01/15 under the influence of the same spirit - spooky stuff.

What's the book called?

As for that last point, I'm sorry but read that back to yourself. Honestly, its hardly proof of anything is it?

My ex had a severe bi-polar disorder and would, on occasion, be convinced about things that hadn't happened to her - people she had seen and conversations she had had - they didn't actually happen.

Once she was convinced she had been made redundant - a year or so later she was. Hardly makes her a 'seer' or anything does it? No, she was mentally ill. See what I'm getting at here?

Also, you didn't answer my previous questions. If this guy can solve murders why isn't he all over the shop doing it? He should be on the news all the time.

Or, if we were to speak to the Police I wonder what they would say about him?

ooooh shivers went down my spine then.

Actually my favourite from earlier was the guy who had dropped £2 under a fruit machine in a haunted pub but when they reached under to get it he found two £1 coins!!

Coins under a fruit machine, who would have thought it!!

I'm kind of more interested in how someone in that situation thinks; "oh it must have been a ghost somehow transmuting my coin into two different ones for reasons unknown" rather than 'my coin has rolled off in to a corner and I have found two different coins'

I mean how do even operate in the real world if you think like that?

I think I need to go to the pub!

As I said its something we have all lost and I personally think its part of the brain we normally have no use for but did once. I was so anti this type of thing but not any longer. His book was about the Soham Murders and one of the girls fathers went to him as he knew him anyway and unfortunately was told that girls were dead days before they were discovered so it was all very sad. There was other info too which was bang on but couldn't be revealed at the time. The UK Police use psychics occasionally but its not mainstream, I was told a couple of months ago by a copper that they had used a psychic on an old missing person case in Suffolk and she described a man made feature near where the body was - the police recognised it but at the time were unable to progress due to the old 'cost versus likely outcome' as there were no suspects and the victim was scum anyway.

Near me on the A3 at Burpham in Surrey, a few years ago someone driving their car at night reported seeing headlights veer off the road and in to the undergrowth on the side of the road.

Police were despatched to check it out but could find nothing, until after a bit more searching they came across a car that had crashed approximately a year earlier, still with the driver in the car, he and been reported missing a year prior.
Interestly enough, I went to school with the guy who was driving that car. A really odd set of circumstances!

Regarding the existence/non existence of ghost I read a passage in a book last night, “The Holocaust By Bullets” in which the author presented his position on the argument. In the late 1980’s he visited a building in Poland occupied by 3 families who were living apparently untroubled by anything supernatural.
Nothing unusual you would say, however this building had apparently been built on the foundations of what had been ‘Bunker 1’ at Auschwitz and the place of death of approx. 110,000 people.(figure from the above mentioned book) Surely if ghosts exist there would be evidence at such a site.
If I remember correctly a house was also built on the site of Treblinka once it had been cleared and a local family installed, again this would be a test of the theory.

The ghost probably worked in the pub in life and thought he was asking for change for the pool table.

Several years ago I was sat in a doctor's surgery waiting to have a frozen cucumber removed my my anus. I got chatting to the bloke sitting next to me (well I was just squatting to avoid jamming any more of the cucumber up) and it turned out he was in there to have a load of cherry tomatoes removed from his japper.

Crazy coincidence.

What evidence do you have for this belief? How did we come to lose it? Surely having it would have given those who had it an evolutionary advantage over those that didn't, so to say it's something we had but lost flies in the face of evolutionary biology.

Those who had it in the past would be better able to predict danger and more likely to survive. Therefore more likely to reproduce and pass the mystic gene to the next generation. So how did this ability get "lost".

Interested in your explanation and how it ties in with the science of evolutionary biology.
