Is it possible that...

[HelenaWay]

I just had a random question...me and two of my best friends do a little paranormal investigating sometimes, mostly in a particular graveyard we've had experiences in but my question is this, is it possible for all three of us to be looking at the same thing at the same time but not all of us can see what is there? We've had this happen several times. One of us will see something and they'll point it out but the rest of us can't see it and they're like OMG ITS RIGHT THERE ARE YOU BLIND!!! lol If anyone could answer me that, it would be great

P.S. glad to be back on the board

Nice to hear from you, Helena!


I thoroughly believe that's possible. Some folks can see things others can't. And to put it in concrete world perspective, I think it's similar to having a bunch of witnesses to something, a crime perhaps, and when they are questioned about what they saw, there are as many different stories as there are people.

That is what I was thinking as well. There is a particular ghost that we like to call "the girl in the blue dress" that my friend caught on his camera on his phone, he'd see it a lot at this cemetery and for the longest time no one else could see her and she finally revealed herself to the rest of us one night, it was the coolest thing, it was a blue fog.

Very cool!


I'm not sure about the thinking that "she finally revealed herself to the rest of us..."


Do you think maybe it could be that the others were now ready to see? I don't know if a ghost can be selective about who sees it, especially when there is a group of people. I'm thinking it has more to do with the one doing the looking.

[HelenaWay]

That is a great point. I didnt think of it that way maybe it was bc the rest of us werent ready

This would fly in the face of what we understand of physics and how light works with the human eye.  To put it bluntly, no.

However, there might be another factor or ability that helps us see things others may not...aka:psychics, mediums, prophets...all of these persona's involve people being able to "see" things the majority of us cannot.

one of you may be more gifted perhaps?

It is highly possible to see something others can not. That has happened to me and a friend on numerous occasions. It may have to do with how relaxed and open a person is to the spirit world at the time of the occurance.
I had an experience where a friend saw something that caused her quite a bit of fear to the point of panic. I stood by her side and saw nothing until the very end when she said there it is and turned to move away. At that point, I turned and saw out of the corner of my eye a gray mist shoot out at us but fell short as we quickly moved away.
Later on camera an orb showed up in the photographs!
