Was Paul McCartney's death really covered up?
The whole "Paul is dead" conspiracy could've just been a way to earn more popularity.

Will things work out with the new love interest I met yesterday?
Ok im going to trigger a lot of you by saying this BUT I liked both Halloween remakes, I honestly dont see the fucking problem with them, have you seen the other remakes? I know you did, I know they are pure shit, I know it hurts you as a horror fan, I know.
Look im a huge Carpenter fan and sure I would have liked a more suspenful remake BUT I actually like what they did with the Myers character, think about it, what made the original work? The killer had no backstory, no emotions, NOTHING, he could be looking at you through a cracked door, and that is his thing BUT think about it, what makes the remakes work (at least for me) ?
We have seen Michael and holy shit he was like us! Sure his family was rednecks but he was a regular kid, one day he couldnt take the abuse and he snapped. Was he truly evil? Zombie makes us question the killers we love, "real" Halloween fans cry and insult Rob Zombie because they just want a killing machine.
You get that, but you will also accept the fact that there is no such thing as "pure evil", it shows you that people can snap and THAT is truly horrifing, think about your brother, the dude you know from all your life suddenly snaps and kills your entire family and doesnt speak again.
You dont even want to imagine that, because thats some shit that could happen in real life.
You see Myers is USA, his inocence was lost and he did horrific things and people seemed to love him like a rock star, this theme is expanded in the sequel showing us what Dr. Loomis would look like in the real world that is also played by a real life rock star made famous by portraying a sociopath killer. Dont you see? Zombie is placing a mirror at the audience, he wants us to see what we are, we are the "monsters".
In the remake Myers is portrayed as a loner, probably suffering from schizophrenia and ptsd. He seems to kill only when pushed to a certain point, also we learn that he has compassion when he look at a little kid, and the kid asks "are you a giant?" while the mother grabs him a bit weirded out. Michael just stands there, whos to say he isnt smiling under that mask?
Who knows he might be alright if he wasnt pushed every 5 minutes by some asshole.
Rob Zombie gave Michael Myers life, you can continue hating it but I will remind you that all of your loved Carpenter classics were received as SHIT back in the day, so I believe the remakes will become a cult classic.
Out of all the horror icons, Zombie made the most respectful remake and actually kept the legacy alive if only for 2 movies.
Oh and one other thing, Freddy vs Jason is better than both remakes combined.
I still have mixed feelings about going so deep into Michael's character. Michael's childhood scenes were actually pretty well done and it makes the audience more invested in Michael and Myers family as a whole.
On the other hand, Michael's ambiguity and mystery in the originals was also intriguing. Less is more, so to speak. What the originals lacked in detail and polish they made up for in campyness and charm.
I obviously prefer the originals but as far as horror movie remakes go, Zombie's movies weren't terrible. They were mostly good enough to pass... They went way overboard with some plot points though, like Michael's visions of his mother with the white horses and shit, and Dr. Loomis' personal life and writing career... It lost focus too often.

i see where you're coming from but here's the real issue for me is that he shouldn't have done what you're saying he did and called it "halloween."
michael myers was a specific character that people liked for a specific reason, one of those being a major lack of backstory.
this remake could have been an updated version (better special effects but story unchanged) that brought the halloween story back.
instead, he was selfish. he took an already established character and inflicted himself upon it. 70s michael did not have a redneck family. he had a decent, middle class family and that added to the horror of how he became so sick.
this was explaining away the "monster" inside of michael and making a weak social commentary on the point that "if you're shitty and fucked up you're going to raise shitty and fucked up kids" which everyone already knows.
now, if he had been able to bring the middle class family that michael really had into his remake, i would've said go for it. instead, he just made a shitty version of the family in house of a thousand corpses, except their kid was now michael myers. even cast his fucking wife AGAIN. it's ridiculous.
he totally changed the premise here and took it to ridiculous places. he made the family trash but the entire movie is full of trashy people. everyone is exaggerated because rob zombie doesn't know how to create non cartoon characters. i get that it's his style but it also really takes you out of the horror because who gives a shit if some caricature of a human being gets murdered.
he also relies heavily on shock value. maybe the original did that to a certain extent (most horror movies do) but it was much less exaggerated. zombie just doesn't know how to keep people's attention without trying to disgust them. disgust is not scary, it's shocking at best. we don't go to shock movies or disgusting movies, we go to horror movies for a reason. he's just not good at subtlety.
Is Luck a paranormal factor?
I seem to have really bad luck doing normally harmless tasks to most people and I want to explore the concept. For example
>pouring a drink from a pitcher
>it splashes just the right way that a droplet splashes into my eyes
>wrap around towel in the bath
>it contorts itself and whips the only breakable object on the bathroom countertop

nice trips
For real though, nothing is random. Everything is the result of consciousness. Here's how to get into contact with that part of your consciousness. First, you need to put yourself into the mindset of, "if I did that on purpose, why would I do that?" If you're a derp, you'll spend a few lifetimes or eternities believing your higher self is trying to punish you. Or you can take the shortcut and realize it's just your higher self trying to get your attention. It tried more subtle ways previously, but it took juice in your eye for you to come to 4chan and read this post.
Everything is both preordained, and unknowable. This is demonstrably in quantum mechanics. When a particle goes a place, it's as if it was always going there. But it before it gets there, it's as if it was going in all directions. Once it lands though, everything shuffles around so that it appears to have only gone that path from the very start. So it is with the interaction between your higher and lower self. Your higher self selects realities for your lower self to experience. When your lower self experiences them, it's as if it was "always that way." But it only becomes "always that way" when your higher self arranges it to be so.
It's set up this way, so that you can have any degree of free will that you desire. If you want, you can put yourself into a state of mind where (almost) everything is predetermined before it happens. So that (almost) nothing is left to chance, and everything is consciously observed to the finest detail. Or, if you want to can have everything be random, and never have any idea what's going to happen until it does. Or anywhere in between. Just note that the one thing you can never have is actual 100% perfect prediction of the future, since in that state there would be no concept of time. Remember, if something is 100%, then it already happened, and your mind just hasn't processed it yet.
>>17874333
You are just clumsy/have bad hand-eye coordination. What you state has nothing to do with luck.
Something just happened.. I have no idea what, but it was like a glitch. Like Every thing just changed in a moment.. But like the moment was forever, and at the same time never happened.
I felt it..
>>17874291
I wasn't able to post on 4chan for 20 minutes that now felt like maybe 30 seconds if that's what you were talking about
>>17874323
same here, couldnt post. Fuck I dont know if I can post right now.
Im starting to become more self-aware, so much I swtarting to dubt anything around me is real but only a computer simulation
Like someone, somthing, a god or just higher beings programed use to learn and advance, we have started from being cave men, today we are more self-aware programs, instead of waking up everyday and do same stuff, people have become self aware enough they and re-write their own program and change their life. In the future we will become super ai computers who can manipulate reality
>>17874278
>>17874278
Kind of. There never was an outside to the matrix. The way you "exit" it is by inventing whatever entrance you want into the next one, to whatever level of detail you desire.
You could imagine it out of thin air, if you had the concentration to. But can you even eat a meal, without relying on your instincts to tell your stomach how to digest it? Can you even type a response, without relying on particle physics to mash the keys in, and a smart computer scientists who designed all these algorithms and machine code for your computer to function with? Who's keeping track of all that? It turns out thinking is work.
But, if you engage in the work of thought, you can literally summon anything into existence by just holding the image of its form in your mind. How long it takes to manifest depends on a combination of how much you need to borrow other people's intelligence to make the pieces for your puzzle, versus how specific you need your manifestation to be in order to count.
Does this mean reality isn't real? I dunno dude. It's as real as reality is. If you really try hard, I'm sure you could put yourself into an experience where you "wake up" in a matrix tube or some shit, and realize that it was all a dream all along or something. But, so what? You can keep waking up over and over, an infinite amount of times. There is no outside. The act of being there makes it inside again.
>>17874289
I dont saying we are chemicals, Im a christian and believe in higher level of consciousness.
Im talking about this very moment, that we might be dreaming or trapped somewhere but one day in our life either if we are alive or dead we will break free
So /x/philes, do you really believe in the paranormal and why/why not?
I honestly truly believe 100% without a doubt that
>>17874193
i believe that the X-files was a decent television show, up until about the middle of the 3rd season.
>>17874193
I believe the vast majority is bullshit, but I've had some weird experiences myself and there's definitely something going on.

Why are you a gypsy?

Am I going to die soon?
Hello /x/, I come to tell you about something important. I would like to start by saying this isn't a copypasta, its a true story, that requires actual consideration.
So my name is Stanley Risk, and I... am kind of new to writing, so forgive me for any mistakes. Im thirty-six, I live in a small town of British Columbia called [the town of] Nelson and I am, well... an isolationist. I only leave my log cabin two or three times a month, and I live alone with my dog, Buddie.
This story, however, isn't about me, it's about someone else.
It's about a boy named Nicholas Burgess. Well, not a boy. He was eighteen years-old, he lived around here, and went to a college called Selkirk. He went missing three weeks ago, on June 10th 2016. His friends told the police the last thing he was doing was a community project for his Sociology class that involved him writing an essay about the local town of Nelson. That was all the evidence they had on his disappearance—it was just, out of nowhere. I have looked it up on the internet, searched all over, and I haven't found anything about this incident. I guess this event is just staying in the local police station.
(Photo: Nelson)
>>17873888
So, I was hiking with Buddie one day, and I came upon a notebook with brown and red stains on the cover. It was one of those 'find Sasquatch' notebooks that had hundreds of trees, and one teeny Bigfoot peeking out of a tree. It filled me with Nostalgia, when me and my brother Stan used to try to find the sasquatches.
Curious, I of course, took a peek inside. The title block read:
Nicholas Burgess
June 9th 2016
Sociology Class
The Importance of Nelson.
It had been told two weeks ago when Nick's mother told me that no one had seen him in a week. I was only mildly concerned. "He was adventurous," I said. "It's nothing to worry about."
But by now, I had been pretty concerned. It had been almost a month. You see, Nick's dad left when he was three, and I was, kind of... an unofficial father figure to him.
(Picture: not the notebook I was talking about, just similar)
>>17873888
>>17873892
I read the text the first page of the notebook. It was mostly in notes, not very professional because he was going to be the only person reading it.
Basically, he said that he was going to someplace in the middle of Johnston woods—pretty near to my house—where he had been told than an strange old man, trapped in the past, lived.
It was about a forty minute hiking trip, and when he got there, he saw the condition of the house was... unpleasant. He knocked on the door, and a short, old, black man named Levi opened the door. Nick asked for a last name, and Levi just said, "bah."
He told Levi that he was looking for some cool history or anything interesting, and that he had a suspicion that he might be the right man to ask. Levi responded after ten seconds—yes, ten seconds—of silence, that there was an old trail that led to a place no one had ever been before. Nick asked him to lead him that way. Levi said yes, and began to walk, and Nick followed behind. Apparently, the trail started out normal, but as they traveled, the trees got weirder and the mist got thicker. It took them about half an hour to get to their destination. Once they got there, Nick looked down at the valley just a bit ahead of him, and saw the junkyard Levi was talking about. Then, Levi said to Nick that he had to tell him something. Nick asked what, and he told him that there was something... off about this place, something he could only explain as paranormal. Nick had said that he never really believed that kind of stuff, so it wasn't a surprise that he went there anyway. He did, however, get a bit freaked out when only about thirty to forty-five seconds after he set off towards the old junkyard, he turned around, and Levi was already completely gone.
>>17873893
Let me guess, a sasquatch got him.

Lost Cosmonauts, or Phantom Cosmonauts, is a conspiracy theory alleging that Soviet cosmonauts entered outer space, but without their existence having been publicly acknowledged by either the Soviet or Russian space authorities.
Proponents of the Lost Cosmonauts hypothesis concede that Yuri Gagarin was the first man to survive human spaceflight, but claim that the Soviet Union attempted to launch two or more manned space flights prior to Gagarin's, and that at least two cosmonauts died in the attempts. Another cosmonaut, Vladimir Ilyushin, is believed to have landed off-course and been held by the Chinese government. The Government of the Soviet Union supposedly suppressed this information, to prevent bad publicity during the height of the Cold War.
The evidence cited to support Lost Cosmonaut theories is generally not regarded as conclusive, and several cases have been confirmed as hoaxes. In the 1980s, American journalist James Oberg researched space-related disasters in the Soviet Union, but found no evidence of these Lost Cosmonauts. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, much previously restricted information is now available, including on Valentin Bondarenko, a would-be cosmonaut whose death during training on Earth was covered up by the Soviet government. Even with the availability of published Soviet archival material and memoirs of Russian space pioneers, no hard evidence has emerged to support the Lost Cosmonaut stories.
She always needs it.
So I'm intrigued by this Jewish magic /x/, and I've heard it contains anything from the deepest secrets of the universe to something a bunch of crazy old dudes made up in a cave, to something involving the dead sea scrolls.
As a Christian, I lend it a bit more credence than new age stuff, however.
So can anyone explain to me just what Kabbalah is? How does it conceive of the universe, the world, ourselves? What does it have to do with magic?
ask madonna
>>17873885
which one
>>17873800
I'm studying Kabbalah for myself, it is very interesting and worthy.
Kabbalah itself is the group of Jewish teaching which try to explain the true nature of the world, the Creation; how to find one's path in life, how to reach the Creator, how to improve your spiritual life and some more stuff.
If I'm honest myself I've grown a lot since I started reading about it; if you're interested in it I think you should at least give it a try
Are there any good spooky movies out there? Like truly scary, not the gay pop-up shit. Just watched sinister 2, Although the first one scared me a little bit, I did like the story and stuff, but again, its the popups. But both sinister movies gave a good atmosphere and story regardless of the "horror" part.
Predestination
It doesn't have ghosts in it- but the time loop stuff is spooky as fuck
There are literally thousands of "good spooky movies" out there, many of which I usually share with people and enjoy discussing.
But I'm so sick of seeing these threads every single god damned day that all I'm going to give you is a fuck you, find your own fucking entertainment like the rest of us.
The Witch
I've always been intrigued by water and forest nymphs but sadly there isn't much sp00ky stuff about them. I'm talking like stories that argue their existence, or the existence of something like them. Does /x/ have anything like that?
And no, this isn't some type of sexual fantasy, I'm legitimately interested in things like this from ancient mythology, that harbor that aura of mystery.
Nymphs are the ancient Greek spin on the idea of local gods/spirits, the idea that a local river or a certain special tree has its own divine, spectral significance. You can find this all over pagan Europe and the broader Mediterranean.
You might dig into goings-on in Britain. They've got a lot of old local things. I remember we once had a thread where someone's family estate out in, I think, Scotland was potentially being haunted by a local god. It might have all been a hoax, but the basic idea is there.

>And no, this isn't some type of sexual fantasy, I'm legitimately interested in things like this from ancient mythology
Yeah, sure. You know exactly where this thread is going to go.
Never encountered anything close to a spiritual, alien, or demon being. I don't solidly believe in anything. Is it possible to encounter or experience something greater, god, spirit or higher intelligence? Its it all just fiction?
Meditate,fast and philophise and the universe will notice and show you something great

They're physically real. If you want to have personal contact, here are some rules to follow that will increase that probability:
- Don't volunteer information about your experiences. Let them introduce the topic first, and only if everyone in the room is "red pill" about it.
- Remember that those three words you just used are labels. Every person is different, and if you want to have contact, you ought to treat them as individuals.
- Mutual benefit's the universal economic principle. Figure out what this contact can do to improve your life, and what you can do in return to improve theirs.
- Don't lose your dignity. It's good to be human. In some ways we're immature. In others, we're absolute masters of this realm.
Basically, you need to be able to sit on a sofa with a glowing 4-dimensional orb of impossibly complex detail, watch a show together, and eat snacks like you're just casually chilling with any friend. Also, no touch unless invited. Be that kind person, and you'll certainly get your contact opportunity at the moment you least expect it.

Oh hey, that upscaled version of the MTG machine god I posted to /g/ a few months back!
