You take the starting point based on science that these things can't exist. Of course I can't explain the various odd things that happened in the house because I wasn't there, but I can simply work out what it wasn't.Chizz said:
Do you have a suggestion as to what might have caused the various odd things that happened at the house and elsewhere?MuttleyCAFC said:Yes it is complete Brian Ollocks. If it wasn't they would be f*ng everywhere!0 -
Interesting. Because a 'scientific' approach would be exactly the opposite, ie taking all evidence into account rather than commencing an investigation with a preconceived conclusion.MuttleyCAFC said:

Don't know of any ghosts1 -
I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those street 'magicians' off the telly 'levitating'.Chizz said:
It could be, yes. If levitation is one of those "ordinary things".seth plum said:Could it be that the alleged happenings are ordinary things that people choose to call odd?
So I suppose levitating isn't ordinary as it takes a lot of practice.0 -

On a series note I have personally seen what I believe to be a ghost or some such thing that I can't explain.
Doesn't mean I believe or don't believe it's just that as a reasonably sound of mind person (stop laughing) I cannot explain what I saw2 -

A good technique for the rear facing levitation is a slit in one leg of your trousers, some velcro tape, shoes you can slip off like crocs and a block for one leg to stand on.seth plum said:

As Vince has lived there for the past 20 odd years I'm blaming him.Chizz said:

I just read a bit about this. She said her family thought it was her doing it, and her dad asked her, "Is it you?" And she said no. And he said that was good enough for him.
Now, you would think that would be a funny question to ask if you'd seen a chair fly across the room of its own volition2 -
If ghosts existed, then they would need to be made purely of energy, since by their very definition they can't be made of matter. But if they were made only of energy, they would quickly dissipate, because the second law of thermodynamics proposes that energy is always lost to heat. Now I have to take scientists' word for the details of the second law of thermodynamics which I am happy to do.

The chair might have been tied to a magicians 'invisible thread'.

My mum, her siblings and parents have genuine terror when they talk about the house when they lived in in Tanzania. Some crazy stories from that house. They moved out when found out it was on a tribal burial ground amongst other ghost stories. Grandparents went back a few years ago and learnt that two subsequent owners were the same, left and the house has been borded ever since.Cant say I've ever experienced a ghost, i think sometimes its trick of the mind hallucinations etc...5

If you read what I posted, I didn't provide an explanation for what happened, but merely stated it couldn't have been a Poltergeist because there is no such thing. That is not excluding different explanations, just one explanation.1 -

Although I find incidents like this and people's experiences incredibly interesting, we live in a world now where 3.6 Billion people apparently have a smartphone, so I am sure there would be mutilple indisputable recorded evidence of such things if they did happen.1

To be honest, I am only sharing it because you seem interested in it enough to comment on it.Chizz said:

The bigger story here is why was a journalist in bed with a teenage girl?Chizz said:
Brilliant. Thanks for clearing that up. Thank goodness someone's been able to.North Lower Neil said:

A teenage girl, living with her family, in Battersea, in the 1950s, was subjected to a harrowing haunting, by a Poltergeist.MrOneLung said:Never heard of it
It was extensively covered in the media at the time, but the story is less well known now.
Objects moved. The Poltergeist caused knocking and other loud noises that could be heard by neighbours. The girl levitated. The house was set alight, hospitalising her father. The Poltergeist communicated with them, via a ouija board and written notes.
Journalists reported on the story and were convinced there was paranormal, inexplicable activity taking place.
The Poltergeist activity continued when she went to work, resulting in her being sacked. And it continued at the house, even when she wasn't there.
The teenage girl was doing it herself.
Glad to help.
Just a few minor bits to clear up though. How did she move furniture during the night when a journalist was in bed with her, holding her hands and feet? How did she scrawl words across the width and breadth of the ceiling? How did she levitate? How did she predict the harm that was about to happen to the actor? And how did the noises and movement of items continue when she wasn't there?8 -

Because she took up the family's offer to spend a night in the house and chose to sleep in the bedroom, with her boyfriend outside the room, on the landing.Todds_right_hook said:
