So its a case of this ?
What do you hope to achieve ? Do you think that by posting a few links we will say , "Ah ok I'm obviously mental ?"
Just admitting there's a strong possibility you're mental would be a keen start.What do you hope to achieve ? Do you think that by posting a few links we will say , "Ah ok I'm obviously mental ?"

One of the lads got dragged out of his bed by his foot - moved out the following week
Sleep paralysis is a glitch in the brain which occurs in an estimated one in three people at some time or another. It is when you wake up and the brain has failed to suspend it’s ‘dreaming’ state or reinstate your motor skills, so basically you awake to find yourself simultaneously experiencing total body paralysis and vivid hallucinations. It’s very interesting and, I can assure you, absolutely terrifying- especially the first few times.
So I was never physically dragged out of bed by my ankle. I did ‘experience’ it though. I had a sleep paralysis episode, the strange apparitions, the total inability to move, and when my brain switched on my motor skills again I must’ve flung myself energetically out of bed. My brain hallucinated the ‘dragged out of bed’ part, but until some months later when I diagnosed and understood my sleep paralysis I would not have been able to explain these episodes.

I had a series of crazy sleep related episodes spanning a year or two a few years ago including one similar to your colleague, on a number of occasions waking up and being physically restrained and unable to move or vocalise in combination with either dark figures in the room, or swathes of inexplicable dark ‘clouds’ moving around the room. I was experiencing ‘Sleep paralysis’ a.k.a. ‘night hag’ or ‘old hag’.

Yes I've had that myself once or twice, its pretty frightening. I also hear bangs and voices myself when waking up but they are the same kind of thing.

The guy in question didn't really believe, he knew the history of the house but thought that the rest of us were making it up or winding him up, he spent little time there as his girlfriend lived nearby so only really slept there when he was working nights and had no real spooky experiences before that night.
It genuinely terrified him and he moved out as I said , its entirely possible it was a figment of his half asleep brain, but it didnt happen to me

Again I repeat, explain the colour blue to me
What more do you want to know, apart from what is in that long wiki?My experience of blue? Doesn't matter. If my experience of blue is different to what we know about blue, then that's my mistake. Maybe I'm colour-blind.

You just don't want those explanations to be true, because you want to think something special happened to you, not something humdrum.
You’re the special one.You do critical thinking
No one else does, they can’t. Thats why you know you’re right. You did critical thinking and told yourself so.

Stories won't work, pictures won't work, videos wont work.
So what is the point of challenging people on this thread, what would work for you for evidence?
You guys are being the opposite of scientific, starting off by trying to disprove everything you can is retard-science. trying to work out what could be proven and how is where you need to start.

Someone's already said that and it's a nonsense. Post some genuine photos and videos and we'll see. It would be genuinely amazing to see. If people keep on posting clips from TV shows and movies, it's like shooting fish in a barrel... with a cannon.Stories won't work, pictures won't work, videos wont work.

Stories won’t work unless backed up, it is why we have legal eagles in trials, people memories and all that. They might be right or wrong and they might be telling some great big fat fibs.Stories won't work, pictures won't work, videos wont work.

Pictures are interesting, as are videos. But they are part of a process of capturing light that is pretty well understood. Whilst someone might say ghost, another might pick on the combination of lenses used in a camera, quite a few in some, various coatings and have another explanation that can be proven.
Coupled with some rather realistic physical requirements that is the universe all around us, there are some rather fundamental issues that need to be invented for the ghost to exist.

Above all, the first question of science is is it plausible, and what might the mechanism be.
Human experience is subjective and error prone, Vs something that goes against every known law.
It makes sense to assume the former rather than try to create a hitherto unknown and untestable branch of science.
