Thread: Santika Ghosts

why is any and all evidence of ghosts totally ludicrous? why are all photos blurry and simply debatable? why arent there people with genuine accounts of ghosts. all those shows about ghosts and paranormal have been debunked. no one has seen a ghost. everyone has heard about it though....from a friend.


with all the mysteries of the universe, theres a 3 day rule for dead people? seems a bit like culture and imagination.

we search for answers. our mind leads us to beliefs and sometimes visuals which are a reflection of our thoughts.

with all the history of ghosts, sightings, etc...not 1 shred of hard evidence. not 1.

ooh, except blurry photos

never seen a ghost myself, so am pretty agnostic about it. guess that Santika would be the most likely situation for ghosts (souls, spirits) to appear, though, since lives were cut short so fast and at such a young age definitely before their time should have come.

...but no ghosts for those who died slowly? they dont have eternal spirits?

just a theory I've heard that in those situations (like santika), the souls are confused and still attached to the situation here so hang around longer rather than quickly following the light up to wherever like most souls do. just a theory

The Thai need to believe in ghosts is beyond me. I ignore it lest I scream.

The three day thing corresponds to the thai buddhist practice of burning after a several day period.

Has anyone slept in a rural village when someone has died that day? Were the dogs noisy, or quiet?

implying that animals talk to the dead?


is that only thai animals, or does this happen in other countries as well?...and... is it only rural-based spirits and not urban ones?

the less educated a culture is, the more it believes in supernatural thingymajigs.

ding! ding! ding!

I feel like Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense as ive never seen owt! I am not rejecting the idea of 'pees' as Ive felt the odd presence back in the UK (had to sleep in what was the old morgue in an old TB hospital for an outward bound week as a teen) but I just don't see dead people.

ehh, heard the stories, too. dont forget those same people "feed" buddha on a regular basis for good luck. so...

if you want to believe bad enough, you will find "evidence".
