Most would say hypnosis, but he showed everyone, be basically asphixiated him self with a plastic bag, so he hardly had a pulse. then tricked his body with his mind to remain in that state buy not panicking!!
he felt nothing cos he was almost dead and hardly bled cos his heart was pumping like twice a minuite!!!
he can also count quicker than most computers. a woman put a load of coins on a tray, think it was like 107. then he got to look at it for 3 seconds. and told her there were 107 on there. he did it numerous times, with different numbers. its not a trick, he is just very fast at counting!!
As for you being sceptical, its good that your open minded, i think with all the ghost and spirit stuff, you need to experience it to be certain.
if you think about it in the bigger picture, why is it not possible for a soul to exist out side of a dead body? i would go into it but some sod with no sence other than hard rational reasoning will prob rip it to shreads.
yes the mind can play powerful tricks. but there are somethings that just cant be a trick of the mind. like the bathroom in my old house. used to be a bedroom before we were there.
id be going for a pee (night or day) and you would feel/know someone was in the room watching you. and a lot of times especially in the evening. id be peeing and you would get this punch in the back, like someone trying to puch you over.
now the feeling someones there yeh you can say that is the mind if you want, but being whacked in the back

thats when you KNOW this stuff is for real!
Well as for telling about the darker stuff, im afraid theres some stuff i just cant go into, as it is really heavy and dark, its taken me years to accept the some of the things ive seen. Problem is if you come across an evil spirit, they can stick with you for a while. it when they start playing in your dreams it gets scary.
A few things im willing to say
In one of our old houses, when i still lived with my mum, i was 16. it backed onto a series of 2 small fields, probably about 2 acres each. surrounded buy woodland and hedging.
our gararge which was detached from the house backed onto the edge of the smaller field seperated buy a ditch and small copige woodland area about 60m2 in size. I kept my beetle i was restoring out side round the back, i was always on edge when i went round there, just got a scary feeling. put it down to me being stupid thinging my mind was tricking me and watching to many horror movies.
I used to take my mums dog for a walk on these fields, fine for a few months, then one day i saw this tall black figure in the distance, it was flash/ split second. i just put it down to a black bird or a fox etc diving in the hedge, and ignored it.
about a week later i began to have this reoccouring dream. of 3 black dogs running in the smaller field. other times the dream would be the dogs and in the middle was a manor house white with black details.was all a bit blury
heres some pics if found to try describe how they looked

but with a mouth like this

the dreams would get more intense, and vivid, id keep seeing this fiqure in black hooded clothing. it would flash in my face.
then i started to see this body in the woods burried in the ditch at the rear of my gararge. and it is here the black dogs would run to. most of the time it would be a rotting hand. it was real scary, but more sad i guess.
now when i took my mums dog out id notice he would avoid 'that' corner of the field and if i went near it id go stone cold even on a hot summer day. every now and then the id see this black fiqure lurking at the other end of the field. it got so bad i stoped walking the dog.
In my last dream the night before we moved house. again i was being chased but it was the dogs and the man i kept seeing. he was not happy with me.
i managed to wake up and for some reason i sat bolt upright. for a second was glad i was now awake, to then see this figure at the end of my bed, leaning towards me.
this is what the fiqure looked like
again ive found an image, but its nowhere near what it was

with a face like this
i was shitting it, and for 4-5 seconds i was frozen solid with fear. i managed to move my arm and grab the light switch. then he sort of swirled and dissapeared.
i just sat there like a zombie in till day light. for a few years i completly blanked all this and decided i was a nut case or had smoked too many drugs.
a few years back i was in my mums village doing a job, and got talking to the old boy who i was working for. he was a local historian, who collected photos and data about buildings in the area.
thought it was a bit boring, untill i saw the picture of the field and the 16th century manor house, and the black guard dogs

. turned out about 100 years ago it burnt down in a mystery fire.
ive never investigated if there was a murder recorded there. and im still none the wiser on the body link, but i have a feeling someones buried there. im just to shit scared to find out.
there is one more event i can share, but will have to tell you tonght as im megga late for work!!!
