James Van Praagh ~ Ghosts among Us

[rainwrap]

The undisputable TRUTH is,psychic ability is REAL,and nothing the nay sayers say,will ever change THAT.

[SunStridar]

Want to know the truth, then type this Into Youtube: Derren Brown Interview (1/6) - Richard Dawkins. Trust me, one of the best Interviews you will ever watch.

[amlet26]

Wow James actally helped me. I lost my grandfather a couple of years ago. By reading that very book i was able to be with grandpa again.

[ebrobaru]

You were 3 when that experience happened to you. And yet you believe it was real? By teh age of 3 you already knew the difference between the real world and make belief? Did you have all the information then? DO you know?

[6081995]

Brazil, where I live is the place where the spiritism is stronger, over 2 million people follow the teaches of Allan Kardec. Today I am 14 but when I was 3 I had a "medium" experience, I saw my grandfather's friend taking my grandfather to the other side, the spiritual plan. Believe me, it is not bull crap or anything you may be thinking, it is real! Well, JVP says in his book "Ghosts among us" or "Espíritos entre nós"(in portuguese) that sometimes a medium can miss but mostly they are right.

[dianehosler]

He is amazing, have you all seen his film about his real life and how he fought his talent before he accepted it all which was a fight to him. As I always have said, for the believer no proof is needed, for the non believer no proof is enough! I dont care if you dont believe, thats your prerogative!

[ebrobaru]

MissChristyVera, you can say he is not a fake nor a fraud? And on what do you base your knowledge?

[SweetChiliNinja]

Derren Brown explains how this "communication with the dead" works and it's not at all supernatural.

[MissChristyVera]

I won't call anyone stupid, I know people are curious about this kind of thing. I can say that James Van Praagh is not a fake or a fraud. They're not "ghosts" they're spirits and either people are chosen or open up a certain channel. Do research before you jump to conclusions.

[angelsssssssssssss]

Aliens,UFO,ghost,god,demons,po­ltergeist and other phenomenon can't be proven. Just because there is no prove it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Science doesn't prove anything. There is no such thing as prove in Science.

[ebrobaru]

"Science doesn't prove anything" mmm , what? That´s what science does all the time. At least it comes up with very plausible explanations for everyday events.

[angelsssssssssssss]

Meditation does increase your sensitivity level. If your sensitivity level is high than you are aware at some subltle energies around you and if your sensitivity level is very high than you can see auras,telepathy.clairvoyance,r­emote viewing,and the OBE. Nobody sensitivity level is the same everyone sensitivity level is in a different level.

[ebrobaru]

Too bad that none of these can be proven

[foundoutthat]

well then why are you here? ebrobaru

[angelsssssssssssss]

I have seen a ghost only 1 time in my house. I'm not a medium but i don't know how my senses just went beyond to see a ghost in that time.

[OctoberMoon89]

i have read his book and have tried to communicate and it works!

[ebrobaru]

Communicate with ghosts?

[daniellimag]

I just read Talking to heaven, it`s really really good! I believe!

[rainwrap44]

I too have had spiritual and ghostly encounters. To this day I get some kind of contact once in a while. I say to those that are open minded and can see the truth of that which can't be seen,Pay no mind to the nay sayers.

They are spiritually not advanced and it may not be for them this lifetime to recognize and understand that spirits and other worldy beings are REAL.

[ebrobaru]

How about proving it?

[sportsnut6]

I wanna ask him if there are some books of him on Russian or Bulgarian or Swedish language on the bookmarket???? Wanna learn more of him

You are best living medium after Vanga!

My congratulations! I love his talent!

[Tihbialdunav]

I just read Concetta Bertoldi's book "Do dead people watch us shower" and I just love the humor and simplicity of her style. As for Van Praagh-her friend-yes, his books are translated into Bulgarian and Russian. Search for "Разговори с небесата"-Елрид -книжарница за езотерична литература. Успех:-)

[sportsnut6]

Never heard about her? Who is she

The problem s in BG this book s always gone. I can not buy it!

[sportsnut6]

You are stupid. I have both Near Dead Experience and was in Heaven and after that i have contact with my dead relatives, friends, neigbours. I believe in him! He is just better than me, since my dead people contacs me nighttime. I learn things wich later became true.

[ImDeadAtBirth]

he is such a hot moustached dad.....

i wouldn't mind finding me one like him...

even for the people who don't totally believe him - his message is a good one of hope and maybe brings comfort to those who have lost....

[nuttybar9]

of course theres ghosts among us i know for a fact there is as ive seen them before and i also saw a big hairy thing standing in my bedroom window when i was about twelve but i never did find out what it was i think it may of had something to do with religion as i saw it after i put some relogious posters up that a catholic school had thrown out p.s. if your wondering i am not catholic but like any item that has to do with religion.

[Twilight23Girl]

mabe. anone CAN make up stories ...i need to actuall SEE him do it. his book is kinda cool hough

[Twilight23Girl]

i'm reading this book right now! i have a different perspective on life

[RussellUpsomgrubb]

What a crock of shit- this asshole preys of people vulnerable with grief. There's no heaven, no hell, no afterlife and no god. It's all made up crap.

[Twilight23Girl]

wow thats what u believe in! no one knows for SURE what happens when ur spirit leaves your body. im not saying ur wrong im not saying your right. but i am saying your wrong to try to make everyone believe what u think. -RussellUpsomgrubb

[RussellUpsomgrubb]

Think whatever you want. I believe in things that can be proven with facts. Show me some concrete evidence of everyone's afterlife fantasy.

"Religion is all bunk."

"I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul.... No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life our desire to go on living our dread of coming to an end."

- Thomas Edison, American inventor (1847-1931).

[KiittyCupcake]

there is proof that the afterlife exists

[ebrobaru]

Where?

[KiittyCupcake]

well have you ever had an oobe?

[hyonchingonchon]

i second what kiitty cupcake says.

[KiittyCupcake]

:) :)

[otissss]

He can contact just less developed souls which 'fly' near the Earth level. More developed souls are soon far away. So his view of astral world is based on that reason which is lopsided....

[number1asset]

why do they always have to play some spooky song to make you scared of arriving to death? that creates skeptical thoughts to encountering the otherside.

[lilysasaki]

I believe he has some sort of psychic power. But I don't believe he is accurate 100%. To say he's fraud is not fair, but to believe him 100% is unreasonable either. Just like no doctors can cure all illness no matter how great they are.

[Einhorntochter]

his radio interviews on youtube. This video is not long enough to get to know James van Praagh...

[ebrobaru]

One thing is to talk to you about life after death. About ghosts and spirits. That´s just pure speculation which can´t be proved either way. At least so far. And you might find it comforting.

But from that, to actually believing that indeed he does speak with the dead, that he communicates with them, that´s a huge leap.

He may be a good writer. And I am glad that his books have helped you. But rest assured, he can´t talk to the death. Nobody can. It´s just an act.

[Einhorntochter]

I totally do and I have no doubt in it. I've seen enough in the world to believe in ghosts and spirits - and he was the first author I read a book about life after death. He helped me understand why my cousin died with 19, by telling me that there is a plan for every person on earth. Well, anyway. I started to read more about ghosts through him. He has a lot or humour that I like a lot. Everyone has his/her own belief - and I believe James van Praagh. Before saying anything else, listen to ...

[Einhorntochter]

I have the book - and it's incredible - it is great and it helps me to learn about life after death... I have a lot of his books - I love them all!

Thank you, James!!!

[ebrobaru]

So you believe he is real?

[ManDinner]

Can some one please explain to me why (some) American's believe so many incredible things without evidence? America, you have the best scientists in the world, MIT, NASA, a world class education system etc etc, how can (some) people believe in such bollocks, psychics, UFO's etc? Is there something in your water supply? I don't get it; it's always puzzeled me. (No offence meant to the many rational Americans)

[cajunhornet60]

tony dow has all the answers.

[pitbull103]

Alison Smith from the JREF has done a great job of investigating these so-called ghosts. She has found no good evidence to support their existence. She does not say they are not there, but the evidence is thin, to say the least.

[ebrobaru]

jlosunday "The truth about what ebrobaru?? That Im childish because I believe in my sons psychic ability ?? That hardly makes me childish.."

No, about being told that there`s no such thing as psychic. For sure your sons have many abilities and you should develop them and encourage them. But please stick to reality. If you start promoting this nonsense with them, they will grow in believeing in woo woo and superstitions..

[jlosunday]

OK.. i think we misunderstood eachother..lol I dont promote anything, I was at first dismissing what he was saying thinking it was just his imagination. when he started coming to me with names & information about deceased people that he had no way of knowing about (even I had no knowledge of at the time) thats what convinced me he had a special gift. As his parent I just listen to him & try to protect him from ignorant people in the world.. TY

[ebrobaru]

jlosunday I´m sure that you were surpised that your kid started coming with those names. But, maybe he also said a lot of other names and informations, but since they doesn´t mean anything you just dismissed it. It´s ok, that´s how human nature works. We tend to remember the hits, and forget the misses. Nothing wrong there. But just think about it, what´s more probable? That your kid just says a lot of things and it is you that keeps connecting the dots?

[ebrobaru]

Or that he has some supernatural power? Think about it. I´m sure he has a lot of great natural abilities that need your nurturing and support. But psychic is not one of them.

[pitbull103]

I predict that Van Pragh is gay, not that there is anything wrong with that. This man is a charlatan, con man, cheat, and fraud -- and that's reprehensible if you're gay or straight.

[abbellalove]

I love james van praagh. He helps me to know that my daughter, mom, sisters, and more loved ones are waiting for me to climb off this carnival ride called earth.

[ebrobaru]

aeon23 "I think it's kind of amusing how the "debunkers\skeptics" behave. They hardly ever leave civilized comments. It's always..."idiot, liar, dumbass etc."

You got it exactly backwards. "Believers" always just resort to things like, "don´t mock what you can´t understand" or "you don´t know everything"

[volumedealer1]

Spirits and Gods

All imaginary

[ebrobaru]

FRAUD

[Phych101]

If you don't believe in mediums and the spirit world. Read the wonderful book Your Eternal Self by R. Craig Hogan, Ph.D. You we learn the indisputable truths as it is all very real!

[JohnEdwardIAF]

the indisputable truth is that it is all very fake.

[findelkind666]

what does a book prove???????

[SeanSennett94]

read his book

[aeon23]

I think it's kind of amusing how the "debunkers\skeptics" behave. They hardly ever leave civilized comments. It's always..."idiot, liar, dumbass etc.". They behave in very much the same fashion as someone who's religious beliefs are brought into question. It's humorous that they feel the need to post a negative comment. If you don't believe in it, then don't pay attention to it. You don't have to watch these videos. If you don't like this stuff, look at something else. It's really simple.

[Simon0]

I tend to believe James. i.e. i dont think he is a fake.

[cashfan123]

same here i beleive him also

[christinebutterfly]

I love the book that is way I have a show called "Ghosts Among Us" cause I have spirits in my house.

Thank you

[crystaloceans]

i Loved your book ghosts among us.

thank you for such a great read and for being such an amazingly kind and warm down to earth person.

[sweet666hez]

I absolutely Love your book & thought it was kinda neat when I was watching an episode of Ghost Whispers & saw the Professor pick up a pile of books & "Ghost Amoung Us" was on the top of the stack. I am looking forward to the new season of Ghost Whisper & also on getting more of your books.

[tinyindigostar]

What an amazing person he is.... whether you believe in mediums or not(It took me awhile to be convinced), I highly recommend this book, it literally does change your life halfway through the book. It gives a lot of things more meaning.

As far as speaking with the dead goes, I don't see it as a trend(there are "mediums" out there who give the real ones a bad name, ugh!), I see it more of a way to find closure or comfort.

[Jeffieboi]

I have a question for any psychic who might be watching this...Are we allowed to know what happens when we die? Like, are we supposed to? I totally believe in all this stuff from psychics, to spirits, the list goes on. I always felt that we were supposed to know what death is inbetween lives or after our last one...not during a current life. Does God consider that cheating or does he say it's okay?

[ArlynRain]

Hello All.

I am a fellow Pychic Medium, And was amazed at the information James has put in his book. We share alot of the same values, and beliefs abou the other side. He is truly amazing, and im sure will produce more amazing material in the future.

-A.

[virago1776]

ArlynRain - There are three possibilities with people like you:

You are a liar, you are a fool, you are mentally ill.

It doesn't really matter which, you are still a fake.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I'll get thumbs down by all the irrational, small minded idiots who need to believe in this silly trash but I don't care.

It won't make you and your ilk any less fake.

[Urzaran]

Believing in something bigger than yourself doesn't make you small-minded. Denouncing people who do and berating them for it makes you the small-minded one. Calling people names doesn't make you sound smart. Now granted, I do not believe every person who says they are a psychic/medium, but I believe that there are legitimate ones.

[virago1776]

Believing in this stuff makes you childish.

Adults should be able to face the world as it is without such crutches.

[Urzaran]

...and flaming people for having different beliefs from yourself is childish. Especially when you wait a damn month to respond.  Good going.

[virago1776]

I'm not on your schedule, I'm on mine.

And belief in the supernatural is childish.

In the not too distant future all people will look back at folks like you and shake their heads in wonder at the irrational things you believe.

And the wonder will be all the greater because they will know the available evidence was clearly against you yet you believed anyway.

And there is no Santa Claus though many children believe with all their hearts that there is.

But then children will believe anything.

[virago1776]

I'm such a smartass sometimes and this is no way to conduct a debate.

But I have witnessed first hand the damage these people can do.

They prey on the gullible and needy and are in the same class as faith healers and witch doctors.

Check some of the Youtube vids with Randi regarding faith healers and psychics.

They are dangerous people.

[jlosunday]

You know whats really childish to me?! People like you leaving comments and insulting people & there beliefs.!!

[ebrobaru]

Why are epople being insulted about hearing the truth?

[jlosunday]

The truth about what ebrobaru?? That Im childish because I believe in my sons psychic ability ?? That hardly makes me childish...

[virago1776]

It makes you more than that.

It makes you not only childish but also an irresponsible fool who will teach his son absurd falsehoods that cultivate magical thinking and gullibility leading to an inability to reason and a tendency to fall for any scam that comes along.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

A father owes his son more than that.

[virago1776]

I just assumed you were male for some reason.

I see by your profile that you are female and a mother with more than one child to screw up.

Sorry for the mistake.

[virago1776]

They can't face the world without their illusions and as history clearly shows they will do whatever it takes to destroy anybody who challenges them.

They have a need to believe because they can't face the world without it.

And of course anyone who exposes those illusions for what they are is always the bad guy and deserves to be burned at the stake.

[virago1776]

I'm not the one conning childish and vulnerable people out of their money with fairy tales.

[Skulldini]

my dad passed from this earth on 7-31-2008,i would love to have a session with james.i have read all 3 of his books.alot can be learned from mr. van praagh

[WiiRock77]

He forgot to mention his encounter with Abraham Lincoln. That was an amazing book.

[AndreaMNarciso]
