Its ok if no one believes, I would understand if you didnt trust some random guy on the internet

Wont give too much details but it boils down to:

-family buys new house in the country, no neighbours

-old owner was apparetly into occult, had loads of black magic books stored under my room

- weird stuff start happening: locked doors banging, people talking in the middle of the night, baby crying, footsteps

I endured it for a few years unil things became really worse

Went to my grand parents house, when I come back my 8yo sister is terrified and tells me stuff that has been happening to her, (I thought I was the only one affected) so then I talk with the rest of my family and they had been having the same kind of sh*t (only not as bad as me) but wouldnt talk about it because they thought that everyone would think they were crazy

We ask to a priest to come and bless the house, and we never had any problems since

For a moment, take a bite of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil

pulls out a shiny golden apple with "ΤΗΙ ΚΑΛΛΙΣΤΗΙ " written on it

The shiny golden apple hums the mantra,

"All Affirmations are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true, false, and meaningless in some sense"

How are all these entities....

True?

False?

Meaningless?

True and meaningless?

False and meaningless?

True, false, and meaningless?

To the glory of God! Let it be known that The Supreme and Ultimate Reality is The Righteous Judge of all, The Determiner of all realities, the Lord of All Worlds, The Righteous Sovereign. There is no greater authority, no sculpted idol of man, fabricated image, or created thing that can undermine The Truth As It Is. The Uncreated Creator of all things, The One who has always existed, continues to exist, and will forever exist. There is no salvation, no redemption, no justification, no peace apart from the grace of Almighty Reality. The object of our worship, the focus of our faith, bless The Holy Name. May that Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth guide all those love you into being ever mindful of your statutes and conscious of your mercies. Amen

Do you believe in ghosts, spirits, angels, demons?

No, although the stories of superheros & supervillains (or demi-gods & demons) are deeply bound with my life and worldview--from stories such as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Marvel & DC, DBZ, The Illiad, The Inheritance Cycle, ect. ect. ect.

So, in some sense, yes--as my vision of the world is guided by such stories, characters, ect. (amongst others)

Side: no

I don't believe in any of this. I think it's possible that their are beings that exist in other dimensions or on other wavelengths, and that their is a very miniscule chance that humans could somehow catch a glimpse of one in some unusual circumstance and that some of the accounts of ghosts, spirits etc. are the effect of this.

@Daegonius

Don't you think it is more likely that people are simply hallucinating and/or lying?

I view "ghost sightings" (and such) on par with Big-Foot, Loch ness Monster, UFOs, Alien Abduction, ect. ect. Essentially, as plausible as anything found on History Channel's Monster Quest tv series

Side: yes

Yes, people lying, hallucinating or being stupid is much more likely, all I am saying is that there is a minute possibility this could happen. I have reached the conclusion that everything on TV is entirely fake when bit concerns UFOs, ghosts, bigfoot etc.

If any real sighting occurred of some unknown entity which is usually only visible in other wavelengths and it was mistaken for a spirit, demon or whatever else then it probably would have happened a long time ago, happened multiple times, and whatever they where seeing is probably extinct or very few in number right now. This is very hypothetical in nature and unlikely, but if it was real it could be the reason human cultures have a universal belief in unseen spiritual entities.

Side: yes
