Um dont think i went to the vaults. Did greyfryers graveyard and the tombs and went to some place thats under edinburgh city...some ladies close or something. All of which were not very scary at all,just a bit smelly.
Would like to go to the vaults by the sound of it.
Was here i went. http://www.wyrdology.com/edinburgh/greyfriars-cemetery.html I read that the tomb the take you to isnt actually the one the poltergeist character was burried in as that one was too dangerous,whats the point in that?
I spent about an hour sitting just outside the locked gates to the Covenanters' Prison and felt nothing weird what so ever.

Incorrect. A good scientist will take everything to be incorrect until proven otherwise. If the inverse were true, we would all be riding around on unicorns showering the pixies with gold speckled cuddle dust.

im with him, you're a bit messed up.Hxc said:
but i cant say much
as that new research says one joint and you're 40% more like to get messed up. should mean that my brain will be the death of me 
i havent had any ghostly encounters though i would like to, my friend has told me bout one not real but funny story. he was having a party and one of his friends got pretty drunk, they went to the toilet and walking back down the hall and saw my friend who they thought was a ghost and managed to wet themselves after going toilet cos he was so scared. lmao
A few times when i've slept on my mates (jay) sofa i've seen "something" moving across the room. This isn't out the corner of your eye kind of stuff this is looking straight at it and pow there it goes... real as seeing a black cat run across the floor. Now his sofa is at the front end of his lounge, which has an open plan dining room attached to it. This "thing" on the odd couple of times i saw it moved across the other end of the dining room from me, so probably a distance of around 15-20feet. While i could never make out any detail on this thing the only way i can describe it is as a black shape that is around the same height and build of a primary school child and moves at about the speed of a child running. S**** me right up i tell you.
Now one night me and jay were talking about the scariest things we'd ever experienced and i proceeded to tell him the story of what i'd seen. Now having never mentioned it to anyone for fear of them ripping me silly saying i was a scared little girl i was completely speechless when halfway through the story he proceeded to finish it off and describe the exact same thing he'd seen sometimes. Apparantly there are times when the dog, usually completely happy and playful, will turn into this vicious growling, snarling animal and stands facing the end of the dining room. On a couple of occasions its sat there growling but been so scared it wee'd on the carpet.
That evening jay decided he'd tell his mum that both of us had seen it on seperate occasions and we thought the house was haunted. And this is were it starts getting weird. When jays sister (gemma) was a child, she used to sit in that end of the dining room and play with her imaginary friend called jack. Her mum just thought she was playing pretend like a lot of kids do and thought nothing of it, but she'd talk to him and used to tell her he was upset because they hadn't given him any food when they had dinner at the table. Bearing in mind a the time we found out about this gemma was 19 and all she remembered was that her mums friend used to drop this small child called jack off so he could play with gemma.
Anyway, there was a lot of talk about this and we all had a laugh about it until jays dad decided to research into the houses history a bit more. In some old newspaper record and some websites there was the story of a young child who'd died in the house, more specifically in the dining room
. Aparantly his dad had killed him accidentally and then been so upset he'd taken his own life by going out and jumping off a nearby bridge. Needless to say its freaky as hell and i hate crashing on the sofa to this day (despite being 20 
). Although i havn't seen the shape again since we talked about it i have seen the dog go mental on an occasion, and let me tell you this... i have never seen a dog act like that before. Its like it was trying to scare soemthing off, but at the same time being so petrified that when it had finished barking it lay down near us on the sofa trembling and whimpering.
Now i don't know what to believe, but i know its more than coincidental and i know its creepy as hell thinking about it.

I don't blame everything on sleep paralysis. But sleep paralysis is well documented and with those 3 experiences I had the side effects of sleep paralysis like not being able to move. Also remember that not a lot of people know what sleep paralysis is.
Of course there's things that can't be explained, but until grants are set up for research. I'm not going to blame ghosts. It's too easy just to blame ghosts etc.
I've also seen a hovering snake, due to no sleep for almost a week.
Trouble is for 98% of the paranormal, religious experiences and alien abductions can be easily discredited. But as I said there's a few cases that cant but not many.

Wrong actually. A good scientist takes everything as unproven unless it's been tested with a valid hypothesis. Absence of evidence only equals evidence of absence when you have a full and valid testing process that will yeild the evidence should it exist.
Would a good scientist with a box in front of him assume the contents of the box is empty without any testing? No. That's as bad as assuming the box must contain a specific item.
Don't confuse faith in logical positivism with logical positivism being part of the scientific method.

That depends whether the cat's dead or alive, it's nature of course being unknown, or both
