Can All Weird Experiences Be Explained?

[nailit]

I'm generally sceptical of the paranormal and view with suspicion the claims of psychics, spiritualists and the like. However I personally know many people who have had some very strange and inexplicable occurences.
Can ALL strange experiences really be explained by science, psychology etc?

jake; Then I'm forced to ask; Why and wither evolution?

Khandro - “... I have said we know how it happens but we don't know why...”

It is a function of life itself. If living entities were incapable of creating new cells then they wouldn't exist in the first place.

khandro - you really do struggle with comprehension don't you...?

not sure what else i can say - it happens because it has to or we die - its that simple

nature has ensured we survive in anyway possible, and that mean being able to recover.

Ok I'll add to this, I'm going back to the 70's, my partner, myself and another couple always ate together on a Sat' night. One week one of us decided we should try a home-made ouija-board. Away we go, we were getting answers, and someone asked the other woman's Grandma who we were allegedly talking to if there was any other way of contacting you, the glass then spelt out leave glass alone after that the glass untouched by anyone continued to answer questions for over an hour, I have no proof of this but all four of us are still in contact and often refer to this, but have never repeated the experience.

Of course it did.

And I'm now off to capture a unicorn with this rope I have made from plaited Yeti hair.

Baldric -

So for over an hour, you, your partner and your two friends were asking this disembodied entity questions. This entity was then answering by telekinetically moving the glass.

What did you ask it? Did you ask it about the existence of heaven, hell, god and satan? Did you ask it about the specifics of how the soul continues to exist after the physical death of the body? You had an hour to unlock the mysteries of the universe and you haven't given us anything!

I suspect I already know the reason for the lack of detail in your above post but I would love to be enlightened by someone who has spoken directly to the dead.
