      To be totally honest … not if I put my logical thinking hat on because they need to be clealry explained to me but is some case as everyone else I don’t everything so I could translate that as supernatural … Saying that super natural phenomena happen 🙂

    “Supernatural” means something that isn’t in the normal rules of nature. On that cold analysis I would say I accept that there can be supernatural occurrences. If you ask me “Are there ghosts?” I would say “Rubbish!”.

    Then let me tell you a story……….

    My first wife is a very sensible woman, a very professional nurse who used to work at the Manchester Royal Infirmary (this is many years ago). She was working nights and was in an area of the hospital that was made up of temporary buildings when she saw a man in the corridor wearing a top hat and evening dress, smoking a cigar at about 1.00 am. When she asked him if she could help him, he turned, looked at her and walked through the wall of the prefabricated hut. She lost it totally and ran into the doctors’ mess and told them what she had seen. Bear in mind, she was not given to nervousness. One of the doctors on duty took her into one of the inner rooms. It was covered in old photographs of consultants of bygone times. He asked her to look at the photographs and there, in a photo from 1926, she saw the man she had seen in the corridor. He had been a consultant in the hospital and had committed suicide by jumping off the building. He would have landed in the courtyard where the temporary building stood where she had seen the “apparition”. Nobody had told her of this but his ghost was reputed to walk the area.

    So. Do I believe in supernatural occurences? I would still say “No!” – but I don’t doubt what happened that night. I can’t come to a conclusion- but remember that scientists didn’t believe in ball lightening for many years. Science relies on repeating experiments and “supernatural phenomena” are typified by their non-reproduceability so science can’t cope with this. The other problem is that there are too many con-artists in this area preying on the gullible but my ex-wife is anything but that and the above story is true.

    Thought provoking. Don’t have nightmares though.
