Seriously, has anyone seen ghosts or has any real ghost or any other strange stories.

It's strange you mentioned hummingbirds...
One of the last gifts my mom ever gave to my grandma was a hummingbird feeder. My grandma can't bear to put it up though, she says whenever she sees a hummingbird she thinks of my mom. However, there have been a few occasions when I am really down and thinking about my mom that I have noticed hummingbirds around me. At one point I was sitting on a hill in the park near my house, crying (might as well be honest), and I noticed a hummingbird a few feet away from me. As soon as I saw it, it launched itself into the air and started doing loops - it would fly up about 20 ft. in the air, dive downwards, and do these giant loops over and over again. It was such a rediculous sight that eventually I started laughing and even cheered up a little bit.
Again, I'm sure it's nothing but a coincidence, but it is interesting how people experience similiar things under these circumstances...

Ya, strange. Actually, I mentioned about the hummingbirds because I wanted to know if anyone else had the same kind of experience. I wasn't expecting that it would be you coz that would've been too much of a coincidence, but strange things do happen, I guess. I've heard about moths or butterflies being messengers for dead people but I've never heard about hummingbirds being one too so I just wanted to confirm it. All I can say now is that if we can find just one more person who has that kind of experience with hummingbirds, maybe there are ghosts afterall. I forgot to mention but what's more strange about these hummingbirds is that they came again on about two more ocassions - both on death anniversaries of my dad! That's why I wanted to share this story - I wanted to know if anyone else had that sort of experience, just to confirm. Now I'm much more convinced.

Yeah, I've seen them on more than a few occasions when I'm thinking about my mom. However, I think about her often, so it could all be a coincidence.

I just remembered, have you seen a tv program "Crossing Over" hosted by supposedly world famous psychic John Edward? If you haven't, this could be what you need. The tv show format goes something like this: there
are about 100 guest, ordinary folks though, in the studio audience and the host John Edwards walks by them and 'looks' for a spirit related to one of those in the audience and when he supposedly finds one, he supposedly talks to 'him or her' and ask the relative in the audience about the 'person' whom he describe in detail and what 'he' (spirit) has to say about them. And when the person or sometimes the full family in the audience confirm the 'authenticity' of what the spirit of their relative says, usually an immediate member of the family, Edward invites them to the stage for further dialogue among the three of them - the spirit, the medium (Edward), and the guest(s) from the audience. During the dialogue, you'll hear from Edward who claims to speak to the spirit about supposedly some secrets only the spirit and his/her relative guests are supposed to know. You'll see their utter amazement at the messages Edward is supposed to covey to them, where sometimes the guests get really emotional and go into tears...

I've always watched that show with amazement, while thinking if it was real or if they were putting me on. I could be naive but I didn't see any reason to doubt him as he, and the program itself, looked credible. But again I could be a naive fool. One time, they even invited a celebrity guest, though I forgot who she was, who went through more or less the same process - her confirming that the spirit is that of one of her family member and that what the spirit says is true on most part... Well anyway, no matter what, the issue here is whether he is real or fake and whether the picked guests from the audience were planted or not, though again, innocent me didn't find any reason to doubt. But rather than listen to my lousy discription of the program, you should try to get the video of the program and see for yourself. I myself was always totally amazed. But again I might be a bit naive. In the meantime, you can try to find some of his shows on the youtube, just type 'john edward cross over' on the youtube search bar and maybe you can find some . But one warning though, try to avoid those info's trying to expose him or destroy his credibility, especially anything from skeptic.com at least until you've watched all the episodes because I don't want you to be clouded with doubt when you watch the show- there are always skeptics in any field and you just can't avoid that; it's just part of life. And if you've watched all the episodes, then, and only then, you should read those skeptics stuffs if you must, though I wouldn't encourage you to because anyone can find faults about anything if he wants. I'd rather you decide for yourself than let others try to convince you otherwise.

Here's one sample info of the show:

I've seen him before and honestly I am very skeptical about mediums and things like that. There is one medium in Canada who does some of his readings over the phone, I would be more inclined to believe someone who did it without seeing me and being able to read my body-language etc.

[Salty]

Yeah exactly, he's more than likely very skilled at cold reading, they did this on an episode of southpark. People also tend to believe things that they want to be real. Like knowing your parents are happy and still around, giving you comfort that there is an afterlife.

I like to watch Physic detectives ,the real life docu ones.
One lady led the cops right to a door and said "he goes through this door I've seen him."
Sure enough out of a whole large city ,that was the murderers place.

Another one found a body in about a 20 sq mile of bush and scrub ,right down to the surrounds and what color he was wearing.Turned out he had a heart attack and fell off a pathway .SHe picked that he was dead already and that it wasnt a homocide.

[Salty]

Yeah I love those shows as well, I think to some extent all of us have some ability like that, just not nearly as pronounce. Like when we have deja vu, I know I've had some really boring dreams (like could actually happen in real life) and then weeks of months later I'll have the feeling that this has happened before. And the thing about those is that they aren't gaining any benefit for themselves by doing it, unlike those show hosts which get big deals, they are doing it to genuinely help people.

Ya, but for me, the only way he could be fake is if those 'guests' of his are planted and conniving with him. It's almost impossible for him to know some intimate secrets which only the guest and the spirit are supposed to know, and he does supposedly reveal them often in his show, which is simply impossible if the guests are not conniving with him. You can try it yourselves and invent a story of supposed secret knowledge try it on some friends; I won't be surprised nobody knows what you are talking about even when you get 100 friends, maybe the 101st friend might say,'ya, that's right, how did you know!' if you're lucky. Many people have tried to discredit him but I'll only believe them if they can copy exactly what he does in a way they say he does. Otherwise, their opinion don't mean much for me. But of course, the possibility of connivance and fraud are always there. Anything can happen in the entertainment industry, including, as you all know, in boxing. So we can't be naive about that.

Yup, I've read about some of them on Reader's Digest and they even get citations from the police department itself. I wonder why scientists deny their existence.
