George Gunn said he captured pictures of a ghostly apparition while out walking along a footpath in Outwood, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Mr Gunn, a member of Outwood Community Video Club, said he thought the figure looked like that of a Roman soldier. He said he had heard tales of ghosts being seen in the area. But he added: "I still don't believe in them."[/b][/quote] Full story is available here, as is a video clip of the alleged apparition. Why was the cameraman filming this particular patch of pathway? If the joggers couldn't see the ghost, I doubt he could. | |

| SB Master | Maybe it was Octavian. We all know he killed Cleopatra.

__________________ The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

| I dont believe in ghosts either, but ghost stories and movies are thrilling. I still wanna spend the night in a haunted hotel someday, just to see if it will scare me.

| SB Master | I went to Port Arthur in Tasmania recently to check out the place the majority of the first convicts from England resided and when 36 people were shot in 1996 and...I don't know if it was the fact that It was an incredibly beautiful day but I didn't get any feelings of eeriness, unhappiness or spiritual anything. My friend even locked me in one of the untouched jail cells in pitch dark and I still felt nothing. This is also the place they host ghost tours at night and there's hundreds of people who've seen/felt something or whatever, I didn't even get a FEELING. Everything weird I can describe is easily explained by water pipes and power surges haha. I do believe in the spiritual world though even though I might have a mental block up I dunno.

| I used to be all agnostic about ghosts and theorized that if some people could be a conduit for spirits and contact/see/hear them then perhaps some people could "block" ghostly shenans and then it is possible that spirits are real and I could just be a walking ghost black hole to explain why I get no ghost action. Now I just think it's all bs though. The power of the human mind to trick itself (and others) is profound - that's one thing proven to me every day while the ghost thing only comes up when my sister comes over and turns on ghosthunters. | ||||||||||||||

| I don't disbelieve in "ghosts". I do believe that there are things we cannot explain. When someone tells me that they have had an experience, I believe that they have experienced what they say they have. There are people who are very intune to places and things that may have happened in a place in time gone by. ESP plays a large part of unexplaned happenings. Power of suggestion may do the same. Many photos of aperations are light sources or double exposures entering the film. We all have the ability to know and feel things, but very few have developed the ability to tap into this. I would use the term energy before I would say ghost. But this is just my opinion as I have never had an actual experience. Last edited by Narrowrule; 02-24-2010 at 02:49 AM.
