>>17502893
>1. How old are you?
50
>2. Do you believe in ghosts?
yes
>3. Do you believe in an afterlife?
yes

yes, lots, too much to explain.
>5. Do you personally know anyone who claims to have experienced supernatural activity? Explain.
yes, many people.

too many to list.
>7. Do you believe ghostly phenomena to be caused by:
>A. Spirits of the deceased
yes

yes
>C. Electromagnetic interference with the human senses
I believe research studies have shown this as a possibility.
>D. Over exaggeration of normal explainable occurrences.
possibly
>E. Other _______
1. 24
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yeah, spooky happenings in a cabin, noises and feelings in house.
5. Yes, mom is superstitious and dad has stories from small town
6. Probably 4 or 5
7. A and B
>How old are you?
>27
>Do you believe in ghosts?
yes
>Do you believe in an afterlife?
yes
>Have you ever experienced supernatural activity? Explain.
yes-general phenomena (doors opening, lights flickering, knocking on walls, voices when no one is there, footsteps) shadow people, I've seen a barghest, seen a black entity creep into my closet once, it kind of goes on.
>Do you personally know anyone who claims to have experienced supernatural activity? Explain.
yes, the most recent would be my roommate would constantly hear me talk/my door open and close, footsteps through the hallway, even the dog thought I was up or home, but I wasn't. mind you I worked third shift, and my mate always got these experiences between 9am-12pm or so.
>If you have, how many experiences have you had?
I don't even keep count, I get a lot of weird shit now and then
>Do you believe ghostly phenomena to be caused by:
>E. All of those answers, really. it tends to be one or more of those things, depending on the time/place
>>17502893
1. How old are you?
24
2. Do you believe in ghosts?
Whatever entities they actually are, yes.
3. Do you believe in an afterlife?
I'd like to think that it exists, but there is no way to know. Mediumship and blood magic also isn't necessarily proof, because entities could easily pretend to be someone/something that they aren't.
4. Have you ever experienced supernatural activity? Explain.
There is a house in Jonesville, NC that I used to live at where all kinds of unexplainable things happened. I can't give the address, since my father with COPD currently lives there. Handprints would appear on the walls, and footprints on the ceilings (in fresh mud, overnight - and in a child's size, with none living there). Electronics would have voices come over them/etc. Just a lot of weird shit. Glad I moved, desu; it wasn't really 'scary' but was definitely strange. I don't think whatever they are = harmful, but I don't understand why some things would happen. At the very least, it's not like the movies and such.
5. Do you personally know anyone who claims to have experienced supernatural activity?
Not really, everyone seems to disbelieve in it, aside from family/friends who experienced things in that house.
6. If you have, how many experiences have you had?
I can't really remember the number of times, but it was over the course of a few years (same place).
7. Do you believe ghostly phenomena to be caused by:
A. Spirits of the deceased
B. Psychic or emotional echoes of previous events
C. Electromagnetic interference with the human senses
D. Over exaggeration of normal explainable occurrences.
E. Other _______
Tbh, it could be a combination of things or any of the above. We can *try* to explain it, but it will take a fuckton of studying it to find any kind of proof (if it ever happens). I'd, personally, say E. It would have to be some kind of entity or lapse in timelines. Uncertain, but that is how I explain it to myself. I couldn't tell you what it actually is.
>>17502893
1. 31
2. Yes
3. Mixed opinions
4. Yes
5. Yes- two of my friends who were in the car with me
6. I've had two experiences- during a road trip, two friends and I saw what we think was a UFO. Personally, I've seen a spirit during a ghost hunt in college- no photo proof, unfortunately
7. B
>>17502893
1. Yes
2. Tentatively
3. Tentatively
4. Yes, a few occasions. Just strange happenings, the most direct thing that's been done was having my bed moved upwards while I was on it.
5. Yeah, whole family. I didn't realize how much they'd experienced until very recent years where it's begun to become a more prevalent topic of discussion among us.
6. About four or five
7. B, sorta. I believe it echoes the person, not just the state they died in like some "Grudge" shit
>>17502893
1. 19
2. no
3. no
4. yes, had my bedroom window tapped several times in one night, I thought it was just me but the next day my siblings and my mom told me they heard it. and I saw a ufo once if it counts. Also my neighbors say that my house is haunted, and that they saw a ''ghost'' with blue and red eyes in my backyard.
5. yeah my mom has seen people walk through the hallways in my house thinking it was me or my siblings, only to discover that she was alone when she saw it. Also what I told about my neighbours
6. about 3
7. c and d
1. 30
2. yes
3. no
4. no
5. a few friends who claimed to have seen shadow figures, some friends, family, and coworkers who claimed to see ghosts
6. n/a
7. All of the above, the more harder to explain cases are probably some phenomenon we can't measure with our current technology
>>17502893
I'm taking a psychology class, and for a survey to be truly representative of the population, there must be random sampling. Posting a survey on a paranormal board is not random sampling, as most people on this board believe in some form of spirit or ghost thing, which is why they are on here. There is a higher saturation of believers here than on other boards and websites.
DO NOT use the results you get from this survey. They are not truly representative of the population. When your college sees your source for the survey IF you use it, they will laugh in your face.
1.23
2.yes
3.yes
4.yes, ranging from clairaudience to interacting with superphysical entities - you know, seeing spirits and trying to work stuff with them
5.yes, some people doing out of body-things, others claiming mediumship, some clairvoyance
6.i dunno, more than i care to count - also it'd be difficult to really draw a clear line as to what counts as supernatural - say you do a mantra for a specific deity and visualize this, at what point does the experience become supernatural if you a. feel the deity is subtly hinting at something or b. the visualization takes on strange, unwilled twists like words or symbols appearing outta nowhere or c. you are taken out of your physical body to visit krishna in krishnaland - where do you draw the line between "supernatural" and "natural", when dealing with ultimately intrapsychic stuff? just saying, it ain't necessarily so simple
7. e. because it's perhaps not a single cause that can be attributed to all phenomena you categorize as "ghostly". jung had some fancy word for what happens when cumulated psychic tension is suddenly released... also spirits b real, and there are many types and sorts, not just the dead people, and sometimes they do things
>>17502893
1. 20
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. No
5. Yes, a friend who claimed to hear the voice of a ghost through a ghost-locating app. This is pure absurdity, of course.
6. None
7. E. Wicked people who were not good enough for Heaven and not wicked enough for Hell are bound to Earth as disembodied spirits until the end of the world
1. 37
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes. I have met a woman claiming to be a White Spider member, and I have seen her levitate small objects with her mind. I checked for wires, and none were present.
5. The aforementioned woman and a ghost-tracking team.
6. Two. The levitation, and ten minutes of blindness that occurred after being "cursed" online. My doctor couldn't explain it.
7. A
>>17503214
It's not for my masters thesis or anything. It's just a bullshit assignment for ENG 2010, so it's not a huge deal.
>>17502893
>It's short
Follows up with 7 questions, 2-3 of them being essay questions...
>this ain't for a grade? Fuck off
>1. How old are you?
25
>2. Do you believe in ghosts?
Something like that
>3. Do you believe in an afterlife?
In the sense that time is not as linear as it appears, yes this is a possibility
>4. Have you ever experienced supernatural activity? Explain.
Yes. I never noticed much until after playing with a ouija board at 13. That sparked a lot of activity around my home; I would describe it as poltergeist activity. Sometimes the behaviors seemed more obnoxious than intelligent
>5. Do you personally know anyone who claims to have experienced supernatural activity? Explain.
Yes! I live in the South (USA) and everyone here has had at least one creepy thing happen. It's not an outright topic of conversation but usually people will open up to me about it once they know I won't dismiss their experiences
>6. If you have, how many experiences have you had?
It really depends on where I am. Honestly can't quantify. Innumerable at my childhood and precious residence. Absolutely none where I live now.
>7. Do you believe ghostly phenomena to be caused by:
Truly to me it seems to be a consequence of all these possibilities. The only energies which seemed fairly intelligent or familiar to me were of my cat and dog. All the rest seemed random and really quite disruptive. I think most ghosts are like astral parasites which can latch on to emotional imprints of actual happenings, leading to an appearance of an identity. Aside from that most happenings seemed like nonsensical bursts of attention seeking. So maybe an entity of this nature gets something out of scaring us, maybe our fear and confusion is tasty to them
That's my best guess even if it does sound silly.

I know that, just haven't seen anyone that old anytime recently on 4chan, especially not on a role playing board.
>>17503418
kek
>>17502893
1.34
2.No
3.No
4.Multiple cases of synchronicity, objects seeming to move of their own accord, dreams predicting real future events.
5.Yes. Too many examples to share. Ghosts, aliens, ouiji boards, tarot, horoscopes, all sorts of stuff.
6.Too many to ennumerate, but none of them significant enough to single out.
7.B, C, D, and E.
>>17502893
1. 26
2. I'm not sure.
3. I'm not sure, but I hope there is one.
4. No.
5. Yes. My says that when I was a baby, a weird undulating frilled snake-like creature about a foot long floated into our house through the living room window. It moved kind of like a fish, like it was swimming through the air and was slightly translucent. It "swam" down the hallway and into my room. Then it swam through the glass of the window there and just flew away.
My dad claims to have had an epiphany/enlightenment moment when he was in university where he viewed the world around him slowed down and explained in extreme detail by God.
6. None
7. Mostly, I believe supernatural events are over exaggeration of normal explainable occurrences. However, I'm willing to believe that something supernatural may exist, although it may be unknowable or undetectable to science somehow.
You should make a surveymonkey account and do it that way.
>>17502893
1. How old are you? 23
2. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes
3. Do you believe in an afterlife? It will be whatever it will be, not too scared though.
4. Have you ever experienced supernatural activity? Explain. When I was a little, I lived in a haunted how, we found human remains in the sandbox outside, and for some reason only my brother/mother would hear the little demon running down the hall. It posed as a little girl, but it wasn't. I had experience of feeling like I am being watched, and it would play with my pokemon figurines.
5. Do you personally know anyone who claims to have experienced supernatural activity? Explain. My mother has seen a little girl spirit in a church with her boyfriend. She also has had bad experiences with the house I talked about before, she was touched physically by it one morning, and it was cold and sapped her energy. She heard the running of a kid outside her room as well.
My mother also has a friend who was a white witch, and could cleanse houses of demons, or spirits. Even though she fiercely believed that all spirits are demons, I believe not all of them are, but maybe they are different kinds, not evil, but chaotic.
6. If you have, how many experiences have you had? 2 including my old house, but the other was in my moms new apartment. One night the entire house started to shake, and it wasn't earthquake or hurricane. Also the energy in the room was electrified, nothing ever happened, but it was an amazing non frightening experience.
7. Do you believe ghostly phenomena to be caused by:
A. Spirits of the deceased : Not so much
B. Psychic or emotional echoes of previous events : some of them yes
C. Electromagnetic interference with the human senses : Sometimes it can be
D. Over exaggeration of normal explainable occurrences. : its called debunking, and I and my mother have debunked anything that couldn't have been just objects rattling with an old house.
E. Other : I want Yokkai to exist (fuck that video game)

Sorry OP, I'm agnostic. From God to ghosts, I have no idea and no opinion beyond a passing interest.
>>17502893
All of my answers are no.
1. 25
2. Yes, as in they are real.
3. Very much so.
4. Yes, I am a Christian.
5. Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Church
6. Daily, pretty much 24/7. I think that much of the atheist propaganda which downplays the supernatural is propaganda. These are only my personal thoughts, however.
7. Probably all of the above. I also, based on experience think that "ghosts" have something to do with the evil of the world, and the hell. I think that when Christians die, they do not die, but are still alive which is different from being a ghost.
All things are through God though.
Visit St. Augustine, Florida! It's a very haunted city! (really)
>>17504224
St Augustine is fun. I wanted to move from Tallahassee to there for school. But head up to Savannah. The vibe there is less touristy and a little more dark.

Georgia is a very peculiar state, lots of land that time has probably forgotten. i've been there more than once, spent some time in downtown atlanta

>>17504262
My family there are all into ghost shit and urban legends. Turns out the more religion you have the darker thing become.
1. 19
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes; I personally don't remember but my mom recalls me being around 2 years old having a full on one-sided conversation in the backseat of the car. I wasn't talking to myself, I was pausing with appropriate amounts of time between what I was saying. Mom asks who I was talking to. I say my grandfather (he had recently passed). Mom's friend in the passenger seat starts freaking the fuck out, eventually we get to where we were going and get out of the car. I pull my mom aside and tell her that my grandfather told me to give something to her. I hand her a dime. My grandfather used to collect dimes.
5. My grandmother has seen and heard echoes of my grandfather walking down the stairs of their old house. My mom has heard echoes of our old cat jumping down from the bathroom sink. My dad had a dream shortly after one of his friends died of getting a phone call from his friend and the friend saying he was happy now and thanking him for his friendship when he was alive.
6. Just the one. There miiiight have been one when I was in girl scouts (camping one time we all believed we made contact with and sent to the afterlife several children rumored to have burned to death) but I think that was just our imagination desu
7. A and B
24
Yes
No
Not really
I'm not sure if it counts as supernatural, but my sister swears up and down that our gran brought herself back from the brink of death just in time to see her first great-grandchild born. Also she says another of our relatives claimed to be a psychopomp, who say our gran over to the other side when she passed.
N/A
I believe that ghosts are impressions left by the soul. Some places have their owners personality stamped in it so deep, that the impressions last even after death.
>>17502893

2.Yes
3.Yes, but not heaven and hell
4.Yes, some would dismiss it, but it was real to me. I worked at an old motel on the side of route 33 in Ohio. I worked the night shift from 6pm - 6am. I worked alone no one around for miles, I would constantly hear someone call my name, and lights go on and off by them selves. Same with doors, they would open and close without anyone being near them.
5.Yes, my mom says she has seen my grandma a few times since her passing. I don't bring it up too often because it really upsets her.
6. I would say a hand full. All in the hotel I mentioned previously.

3. Same as above.
4. By definition, nothing supernatural exists, since nothing exists outside of nature, but yeah, I've dealt with some weird
shit
5. Yes, whole family and a few friends. Religious experiences, and local urban legend stuff. I don't believe most of it.
6. That time I woke up alone with a three-legged stool balanced on one leg in front of me, an incident of missing time when I was a kid and spent 'all night' (it felt like 5 minutes) staring at an owl oustide my window, and another time I saw a UFO above the same house where the stool thing happened.
7. A mix of C and A
OP what exactly are you using our info for? I mean it can't be very useful asking here. And if you were doing a real survey you could just ask people around you. I mean autism speaks but you don't seem to have it. I'm assuming that you're in college here. If you're underageb& then I understand reaching out this way
1. 21
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Yes. Not anything super intense, just feelings in old houses of being watched and seeing shadows in the corners of my eyes.
5. Yes. I have two friends who have medium/sensitive capabilities and a friend who lives in a haunted house.

4. No.
5. Yes. My mother (who is mostly rational and isn't the kind of person to make stuff up), several other close relatives, some friends. My paternal grandma who lives in the mountains is also locally known there as a white witch, can see ghosts, and can accurately predict a baby's gender without technology. I'm not close with her though. I can't even speak her dialect.

2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes, i was outside in the driveway of an old mansion that was said to be haunted with a handful of other people. Started with slight noises from the bushes and the stones on the driveway which i dismissed as the wind, then a lot of the people including me began hearing children giggling in the bushes, one of the people checked the bushes but there was nothing to be seen, then the temperature started to drop and rise like crazy causing me to sweat and freeze at the same time, i started to get really nervous and looked around and when i looked into the windows of the mansion there was a tall black figure standing there, it disappeared, then i heard the single most horrifying noise i have ever heard, i cant really explain what it sounded like it was just horrifying, i felt someone pushing me hard and i fell to the ground, then i felt something entering into my mind and i felt paralyzed or that i was'nt in control of my body for a minute or so where i began hearing noises in my head, the others said i lay at the ground murmuring gibberish and twitching with a blank look in my eyes. The only thing i remember from that short time was a lot weird noises in my head and that i wanted to kill everyone. Then i just sat up again and felt normal, everyone looked weirdly at me with a scared and concerned look in their eyes. They decided to leave but for some reason i wanted to stay a little longer looking around, then i heard someone running in the stones in the driveway with no one to be seen, i panicked and bolted, then we all got the fuck away from there.

yes, a few actually. Friend A has told me that she has reoccurring dreams where she is abducted by aliens. but this seems to be a more ghost-centric thread, so i won't really go into that.
Friend B has a nephew (about 5) who has supposedly seen/spoke to their deceased grandfather. The grandfather died before the nephew was born, and his family never really talked to him about it. However, it the middle of the night, the nephew would just suddenly sit up, and start talking, as if he was having a conversation. when his parents asked what he was doing, he just said that he was talking to Grandpa WhateverHisNameWas. this happened a few times. another time, he randomly started talking to no one when he was alone in the family room, and his mom was in the kitchen. again, when his mom questioned him, he gave the same response. she decided to tell her that grandpa was "no longer around" but right after she said that, a picture of grandpa that she kept on the wall FLEW off.

2. I believe it's likely that "inter-dimensional begins" pop in and out of our reality from time to time.
3. Not in the traditional sense. I think there is a chance that our consciousness survives death. What that necessarily means - I'm not sure.
4. I had spontaneous out-of-body experiences (with vibrations as a precursor) from ages 19-23.
5. My parents claim that three "ghosts" visited them in their bedroom in the late 90s. My mother saw them first-hand, and my father claims to have dreamt vividly of the same ghosts that same night.
6. 5 or 6 out-of-body experiences.
7. E. I think emotion probably plays a big part of it, as in, if you have the right mind-set, you're more susceptible to paranormal experiences. If ghosts are indeed real, I think they're beings from an alternate dimension, whose vibrational frequency is slightly higher than ours (i.e., they seep in and out of our physical world - perhaps after death our consciousness survives to their dimension?).

2. Hell yeah.
3. Hell yeah.
4. Nah.
5. Yup, my aunt. Actually two of them.
First aunt: a window opened as if it was pushed by an angry adult. No wind whatsoever, nobody around. It wasn't long after my father died. She owed him money.
Second aunt: felt somebody stroke her shoulder in the middle of the night. She woke up the following morning to find her father dead.
6. See 4.
7. I don't know obviously, and I think nobody knows for sure. But I believe they're spirits of the deceased and, in some cases, demons.

2. no
3. no, human beings tell stories about that because they are scared of death
4. yes, poltergeist type shit, shared sightings of unnatural things we could not explain, and a couple of noclip incidences
5. I dated some crazy chick who said spirits speaking latin or something gathered in her bedroom at night and thought she could talk to trees. she said trees felt warm to the touch and told me I was an ancient spirit born into human flesh (????)

Mostly D, but I also believe our minds are designed to see things that aren't necessarily there.

>4. Have you ever experienced supernatural activity? Explain.
Unsure if supernatural or just a temporary mind break.
Tldr version is: woke up at 3am with amnesia, basically thought I "was" the number 3 before I even looked at a clock.
Everything was just so unreal, didn't feel right at all, just completely disassociated from body and mind.
3 hours pass, 6am I finally start to "wake up" and remember who/what I am.
>5. Do you personally know anyone who claims to have experienced supernatural activity? Explain.
No, the majority do not waste time on such trivialities as they only seek to be entertained.
>6. If you have, how many experiences have you had?
3, this is a very important number to the experiences.
All involved the number 3.

I've experienced "supernatural occurrances" but they can be explained away fairly easy.
I know plenty of people with supernatural stories. I'll repost a green text experience from my mom having to do with angles.
The only experiences I've had were in dark rooms or basements where the mind tends to play tricks on you.
Ghostly phenomena is caused by the mind playing tricks and infrasound.

Should be said that it's her story, but with a few things changed. The angel part is real. But the song part isn't. The man she saw outside of the store didn't speak to her at first. But when she saw him on the side of the road he was smiling over her. I thought the song she was listening to at the time of the accident was too good to pass up embellishment.
