David Farrant- Psychic investigator.

For Cuddles

Well, hello again Cuddles. Where have you been?!

You seem to be the only one saying that Cuddles, unless I've mised something.

Even your 'sceptical eyes' should tell you that the name of this thread (which somebody else started) is "David Farrant - Psychic Investigator" not "David Farrant - Skeptical Investigator".

I would have thought that it is totally within the subject. Perhaps not in line with your opinions or beliefs, but that really is a different matter.

I'm sure Cuddles is saying what a lot of us are thinking who haven't already given up on this thread. If you want your ego massaged with adoring fans and fellow believers and to remain unchallenged then there are plenty other forums for that - most of them set up by you it seems.

Much as I hate to bring the voice of skepticism back to this skeptical forum, but do you suppose we could have some evidence for these theories while we're at it? This discussion is all very nice, but it really doesn't have any place on this board.

I'm actually suprised that Mr Farrant is continuing to post in this forum, given the rudeness and hostility shown by some posters.

Critical thinking does not involve simply popping up and grunting 'Evidence!' every time someone makes a comment, or puts forward a theory.

I personally am attempting to establish and understand Mr Farrant's thinking and standpoint (in a civilised manner) before I dig a little deeper. It is important for me (and I would hope for any professed critical thinker)to know exactly what Mr Farrant (or anyone else) believes and understands before taking the discussion further.

The fact that some mistake a subject matter interest and common courtesy for 'ego-massage' speaks volumes about the failings of those people.

Rrose; as far as I'm aware, Mr Farrant has not started a single thread on this board to date; perhaps you should pose some intelligent or critical questions yourself instead of posting what amounts to standing behind Cuddles and saying, "Yeah!".

Perhaps, before making remarks about others, you should read David's other posts and see that we have been attempting to discover what he believes for some time now.

Do you have anything constructive to add to the discussion?

FOR SMVC

I have seen many theories that 'ghosts' are a result of 'emotional imprints' in areas where strong emotions have been 'discharged' - usually as a result of violence/death. I have also read that certain locations or materials (rock/stone etc) with 'the right' magnetic fields can allegedly act as a 'psychic recording device' for strong emotions. Do you agree with this theory?

Very loosely, I think this could be a strong possibility. But I would be very cautious in saying that if such (strong) emotions can be released by a living person and remain ‘entrapped’ in the atmosphere in some way after the death of that person, that these would not necessarily retain the ‘intelligence’ they had when the person was living. In other words maybe, these would only be unintelligent or ‘replayed’ sensations or recordings. Of course, it is possible (I believe anyway) that such ‘impressions’ might be caused by highly emotive states (the example you suggested being violent incidents maybe leading to death), and might actually be ‘stored’ or conducted by certain elements; such as that of stone or water.

That is putting in ‘ultra-simply’, of course. But forgetting actual ‘death’ for a moment, does this not go on all the time with living people. For example, sometimes it is possible to be in the presence of somebody who is feeling extremely depressed, angry or agitated, and to pick up such a sensation without any looks having been exchanged or without any words having been spoken. You can actually definitely ‘feel’ this (or at least many people can), but I would say that it is nothing ‘supernatural’, merely a question of receptivity or awareness.

But the point is perhaps, that if such impressions can be sensed or ‘picked up’ between living people, why should it appear so unusual that such ‘lingering emotions’ (albeit without a ‘living’ or ‘thinking’ mind behind them) could not remain after the actual state of physical death?

After all, we are all subjected to the feeling of ‘love’; for example, and if there were not this attraction between kind and kind, none of us would be here (at least in this material world as we know it). Surely, none of us could deny the powerful emotion of love between people (or between a parent and child),; but then maybe this is a feeling or emotion that many people just take for granted, without giving it much second thought.

I suppose what I am trying to say is, these emotions are a part of life, and I see no reason why in some instances these do not remain.

Maybe there is a strong argument for suggesting if we could really understand Life, we might come a little closer to understanding the state of death.

I hope this makes some sense to your question. At least, I have answered you as truthfully as I understand it.

For now,

David (Farrant)
 
Mr. Farrnat, I know this question may sound weird, but do you believe that some, (not necessarly all) "ghosts" may actually be living beings that share our world but not our dimension? I believe another word for them would be "crypto terrestial." And, if so, that they could account for some of the strange visual, vocal, and olfactory manifestations that some people witness? Or, in your experience, would this likely not be the case?
 
For Minervia

I still intend to get back to your last question, but with regard to the current one that other forms of being may . . .

actually be living beings that share our world but not our dimension? I believe another word for them would be "crypto terrestial." And, if so, that they could account for some of the strange visual, vocal, and olfactory manifestations that some people witness? Or, in your experience, would this likely not be the case?

I am sorry, but my answer to that must be 'no'. I am not implying that other 'alien life' does not exist. Indeed it might do; I am only saying that if we can't understand life on our own planet properly first, then how could we possibly be expected to understand it anywhere else in this vast Universe?!

We simply can't. Except perhaps to rely on science fiction which is not all that reliable at the best of times!

For now,

David
 
For Minarvia

For Minarvia

Sorry for the slight delay in getting back to your first question, Minarvia. Without checking back, I think you asked about poltergeist activity.

This is a difficult one – for here anyway!

Having said that the sheer volume of documentation and other reports about such activity is overwhelming, and dates back for centuries.

Basically, such activity is said to involve the mysterious movement or breakage of objects; unexplained drops of temperature at ‘cold spots’ in a building; levitation of objects (even people); direct effects upon electrical systems or appliances and reports that people have been involuntary ‘moved’, even pushed over.

Such activity is mostly clarified as being the results of the activity of ‘outside spirits’, although personally I do not necessarily think this might be the case.

I won’t go into this too much here, but I think much of this activity is caused by otherwise dormant levels in the human mind that can become active when a given person is in a light sleeping state. At least, many people have claimed to have been woken up as a result of such activity which would suggest that they were not in a deep sleeping state.

I don’t really want to get into another debate over this. I only make the point because I do not personally believe that the majority of such reported cases, rather the said cause of them, has anything to do with ‘outside spirits’.

For the moment,

David
 
Fair enough, and thank you for your answer! At the moment I do not have any of your books in my possession, so forgive me if all of this has been covered in them. If, however, you can provide me with a link or two of a report of yours, or an account of a case or so that you participated in that has any of these elements involved, could you post it, either here or via PM?

Evidence? On a skeptical forum? By gum, there's an idea! Now, if we could only put this concept into practice... *searches around for the quotes and citations previously provided*
 
But David, why haven't you answered the single most important question on the thread? The one that everyone wants to know the answer to?




































What does dikkipoggy mean?

What does dikkipoggy mean?


Firstly, I don't think this is an important question at all! (Incidentally, I have already answered this question in a PM to someone).

As far as I know this is not even a word; come to think of it, it is not even an English one!

As far as I can tell, it is an old Yorkshire expression meaning that something is 'highly suspect'. I had not even heard the word myself until I saw a friend of mine using it. She is welcome to keep it!

I am never quite sure whether humour is completely going over your head, David, or whether you are just playing the straight man.

I did a google and couldn't find any instances of it other than that friend of yours (Barbara someone?) Interestingly I saw she lives in Brighouse, which is where I lived until very recently. I lived in Yorkshire for about 10 years, and never heard the word, so i think your friend must have made it up.

I do have a sense of humour, believe it or not. Believe me, if you've been stalked for years by an obsessed psycho, wearing a tea pot cosy on his head and brandishing a wooden stake, you would have to have! (But I won't pursue that here).

If you lived in Brighouse and you are not even aware of that silly word 'dickapoggy' (if I've spelt it right without reference) then that confirms a suspician I had that the word had been made up. Anyway, it doesn't really affect myself as I never use it anyway.

Yo Farrant, I wonder if you caught the MondoSkepto review of Sean Manchester's book, "The Vampire hunter's handbook". It's a tour de force. The review I mean, not the book. For example, did you know that according to the Bish, you are being controlled by the CIA? (Who knew?)

Wonderful article, Vampire! Once again this story hit my funny bone just right and nearly brought tears of laughter to my eyes. A huge conspiracy - well, of course! How silly of me to not have thought of that myself. : )
I will HAVE to get that book. So, one can order it from the UK? I've never tried that.
So, David, how's the CIA treating you? : )
 
This is the guy who's behind the whole conspiracy:
