Has anybody experienced any of the above? What do you think of them? Real? or a trick of the brain as the skeptics claim?

I have seen many light enomelies and have hundreds of photoghraphs of orbs.  Some orbs are a reflection of light on dust particles but others well, your guess is as good as mine.  They have been attributed to ghosts (my closest guess), fairies, you name it.  I have seen ghosts and tried to take a picture only for an orb to be shown in the picture, nothing like what I've seen.  I'll try to dig out a wonderful one of orbs on two different layers at Fort Amherst.  Incidently the room actually had two different floors although only one of them is now there and from where the picture was taken both floors were originally visible.  I'll probably comment on astroprojection and near deaf experience another time.

You have seen ghosts? I hope they are nothing like the ghosts we come across in horror novels and movies. I have never seen ghosts; so can't tell for sure if they exist. But, if they do (they must if you have seen them), surely they are like living people? Thanks a lot for your response. It was quite informative.

I believe out of body experiences are real, I've not yet mastered them, I'm not a calm enough person.

Try it sometime, I can usually feel a part of me lifting and just as I'm about to lift out of my body, it just falls back into place like elastic is pulling me back.

The more I've tried the technique, the further the "elastic" allows me to move.

Hope that answers something for you mystiqueroses

When I was little I had an out of body experience. I was about two years old and I still remember it as if it was just happening. I was raised Catholic and this happened on the day I was baptized. It was also the day Mt. St. Helen's erupted (May 18th, 1980). Anyway I remember it very clearly as if I was watching it from above. I have described it to people who were there down to the lighting and what I was wearing. But to this day I have never experienced anything quite like that. I have astral traveled in my sleep but other wise I have not been able to do it intentionally or have I noticed doing it unintentionally while awake.

Anyway just thought I would share.
