Thais and ghosts or better still spirits---they are afraid of ghosts but not necessarily of spirits.
So my spirit friends have been very useful to me---I want to tell the thai to do something---No he tells them through me.
Some people may think I am wrong to use their beliefs but believe me it has made me a lot of money and enabled me to get some marvellous sex along the way!
everybody has been happy (especially me)
Long live the three spiritrs that I talk to and who dispense advice and keep me safe and get me laid free by some of the most gorgeous and superstitous women on this earth.
And if there is a next life---m friends will be there to helpagain

Good post. Science can only prove, through discovery, the existence of something not the absence. Therefore anything that hasn't been proven is subject to the realm of possibility. Mankind has an infinite amount of things yet to discover and who knows one of them might be the existence of a spiritual presence. God, UFOs and the like included. For those things that have yet to be proven, I for one don't totally reject the possibility, but can from my experiences and the amount of research that has turned up nothing, assess the probability of discovery. The eventual discovery of ghosts and god rank pretty low IMO. UFOs somewhere in the middle and WMDs in Iraq close to zero but the possibility they exist cannot be totally rejected.

I am not afraid of ghosts, and I bet it would be a lot more fun to meet the life-version of a mighty Gorgonesse.

I can understand the concept of why people want to believe in ghosts.
And I can even understand the concept of displaced souls wandering around the universe scarring the crap out of us mere mortals, but I never understood why ghosts have clothes. Do shirts have souls too?

That's superstition.

I don't think it is the 'soul' one can sometimes see, it is an image resembling the physical appearance, which includes clothes.

Until you ask them about it in detail. Then it's pretty easy to demonstrate that what they thought they saw wasn't a ghost.

Well that explains it all. Its perfectly rational for ghosts to have clothes then.
What is it? not the image of their soul we see, but the image resembling their physical appearance , -- which includes clothes of course. Perfectly logical explanation, especially for the ghosts who would otherwise be naked.

If a bloke dies after being married to 3 different wives during his lifetime (and assuming the ladies carked it rather than a messy divorce and property settlement), who gets to stay with him in eternal bliss forever in the afterlife?
Would the two ghosts who missed out find a new root or wot?

Would you expect to see the souls of people when looking at or for ghosts?
Why would ghosts "otherwise be naked"?

Who says ghosts get to stay with each other, and what makes you believe it would be forever in 'eternal bliss'?

You seem to have some peculiar expectations of ghosts.

How many people who claim to have seen ghosts have you interviewed, then?

^Some mysterious answers from our resident ghost expert.

All questions evaded in typical ghostly fashion.

Stroller, I think you have earned your extra ghostly dick because no one could be that silly playing with just one.

I just showed how silly your question and underlying assumptions are.

You didn't expect any more specific answers, did you?

Next you'll demand I'll explain whether ghosts wear a suit & tie on bank holidays and why or why not.

This is no joke!!
Has anyone ever experienced spirits in there house? Our house has something that is making us both ill even the animals are not behaving the same.The obstructions are stopping Buddhist thoughts and practice we are Mahayana Buddhists and yesterday did a pureification practice and during and after felt so ill and tired which is abnormal. The Temple is the next step i think, but the previous owner on the last visit would not enter the house which i found strange and the wife asked were we sleeping well not a normal thing to ask i think. Serious replys please as someone must have experienced this before. Thanks.
