    Look, trust me, the wind cannot blow my door open no matter if it's latched or not, even if it looks closed and not latched, it can't swing wide open.

    The reason I ignored the bigfoot part is because I forgot what the name of the footage was called. I never ignored the sleepwalking part. I don't sleepwalk okay?

    Well of course it's impossible for it to have a natural explanation if you ignore all the facts. Doors are large. They have huge surface areas. An even wind across the whole surface would apply much more force than you'd think. It may be heavy, sticky or whatever you want but that doesn't exclude wind being a possibility. Opening and closing it yourself may require a lot of effort, but that's because you're applying force to one area in order to move the whole door. The wind on the other hand is applying a force to the whole door, not just one point, so it doesn't require as much force as you're putting in.

    I'll believe that you don't sleep walk if you answer this one question. How do you know you don't sleep walk? e careful when answering that question. I'm not asking whether you do, or think you do, or not, I'm asking 'how'. 'In what way' or 'by what means' also fit.

    Lastly, don't ever try to say anything like that again. It just shows how utterly stupid and illogical you're being in this discussion. If you can't prove it, don't resort to inappropriate and pathetic insults. You've been warned, don't do it again. If you do, you won't get off so lightly.

    -Do you believe in ghosts?
    _Nah, they´re a whole bunch of liars!

    No seriously, I believe in the human´s need to believe in such things. Human nature + a bit of ignorance = ghosts, gods, Santa, Fountain of Eternal Youth ...
    Truth is most people want/need to believe in their own (or their cultrure´s) fantasies. That´s why they usually do not think logically about their own beliefs.

    I didn't ignore the facts, your just making stuff up now! Seriously, I've said it so many times! It's impossible for it to open! You need a significant amount of force to open it, then get it past the part where it gets stuck. I've tried to open windows when the wind was blowing outside but the door didn't open. It didn't even move. I also tried to lean on it with as much of my body as I could, but I found that it didn't open even when I just leaned on it with my body.

    Look, my brother sleeps in my room as well but he sleeps really late, at around 2:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. If I was sleepwalking he would've told me.

    What did I say? The bigfoot part? I just forgot what the footage was called that's all...

    I wasn't making stuff up. If something is pushing something else over a large area, it doesn't require as much force per square centimetre than pushing something in a focused area. Opening a window wouldn't always be enough. It would have to be under the right conditions, etc. First off, the wind has to be blowing at the right angle and wind strength is always variable, but just as another quick example, it's warmer during the day meaning that the hinges, etc, would be swollen and harder to open.

    Why are you suggesting that it's only possible for you to sleep walk between about 10:00pm and 3:00am? He might not have even realised, he could have just thought you'd gotten up to go to the loo or something, and that's if he's even in the room at all. He could have opened it for something.

    What actually stops the door opening past that certain point? Is it the hinge? Something blocking it? Does it catch on something? Also, just checking, but was the door past that point when you woke up?

    Lastly, you know what it is you said. Don't play dumb, just don't do it again. You hadn't even mentioned bigfoot in that post.

    Darktemplar_L: Look, I cannot explain why did your door open. All information I have is that it opened during the night and you claiming that you're not sleepwalking. Same goes for the black mass. All I have is a video.

    I am sure that if you hired professional team of scientists to investigate the anomaly 24/7 there would be some more logical possibilites, but let's face it, I don't really care if my closet opened beacause of ghost or beacause of the expanding/contracting material druing daz/night change.

    Believe me, during psychological experiment I've done, we have told people that they ate cookie, although they didn't. We had faked witnesses, who claimed that this persone stole cookies. And you know what? Majority of people (75 %) BELIEVED that they stole cookie....And was sorry for that.

    Did you know that the flower scent of some saint lady (which was consider a miracle of course) was due to bacteria?

    Above examples illustrate how our brain can be cheated in a very easy way, without a lot of effort, so I wouldn't be so sure that ghosts opened your door...

    The shortcomings of science is that it can't prove that something doesn't exist, but I'm still sceptical. If there was something paranormal, we would already know this.

    I'm serious, what did I say?

    I never said a ghost opened my door! I just said that it is the only paranormal thing I've experienced before. You guys are taking things out of context! You can't open the door if it is latched or if it is closed but not latched. No matter how strong the wind is, it can't open it! Why can't you believe me? I'm not one to make up things. I leaned on it! It didn't open!

    Can we stay on topic about whether or not they exist?
