Paranormal has been a subject of lots of discussion but no solution. If a fraction supports its existence another fraction would deny.
Many people feel that something strange is happening but not sure what is that exactly. Thais an abstarct feeling in most cases. But there are conctrete evedences that a cow giving birth to a goat and similar unnatural thing.
Similar thing I discovered some weeks ago that a branch of banana coming out of its body not from the actual part of the tree that we usually see. Here people are superstitious that this sort of occurence is not good for the family and all blah blah.
I too was surprised to how come this happened after all.
Do you believe in such paranormal occurance? Please share.

When Science fails to proove paranormal happenings, it is a no no. I have seen with my own eyes a paranormal phenomenon that left me gaping. I am not a Hindu, but a Zoroastrian Parsi. However, I heard something which left me disbelieving. There were stories going around that the statue of Lord Ganesha was drinking milk from whoever offered it to him. I totally disbelieved it, but wanted to have a first hand experience of it. Amidst much of pushing and long queues, I ended up in front of the statue of Lord Ganesha with a bowl of milk. I offered it to him, keeping the bowl near his trunk, (He is the elephant headed God )and to my utter amazement, the bowl became empty. I was left flabbergasted. I waited aside to see somebody else do the same, and yes, the milk disappeared. I went around the statue, trying to find out some trick, some suction pump working, and being of a Science background, my mind was sceptical, but I could find nothing to prove this happening wrong. I believe in these happenings now. As per the branch of the banana coming out of the body, it may be a seed that got embedded and is now sprouting. Do not belive people who say its a bad omen. Enjoy the fruti.

Perhaps there was a tender root/shoot that became a concealed sapling and is now yielding fruit from there Rajib.It has not been allowed to take its natural path and though retarded it has attained maturity and has enough space to flower.Therein the banana branch would also come out. If you enquire in a nursery they would provide you with an accurate scientific answer.THere have been pregnancies [in fallopian tubes and the like--these are abnormalities thAT stunt the growth of the foetus or even abort it or haVE some dangerous effects on the female body.We just submit to the will of God in thsoe cases.This time we will just eat a less plump banana instead. THat is the bad thing for the family--namely that this time the owner of the banana has not had a good yield from this bunch.Does not matter;next time he can buy a good plump variety and eat that. THere is no need to be superstitious about it and some people do spread these kinds of superstitions disrupting other people's peace.We will just believe in God and erase these superstitions and give the explanation that I gave.

Hi kalav,
It seems to be holding water what you have said. Though I have no exact knowledge this is unnatural and abnormal thus. And being superstitious I am not but I heard some women taking that this is bad omen and could bring harm to the family and all.
Thanks for the response.

Ya, superstition can be very bad. If there is negative energy usually no paranormal experience will be had anyway. I watch several shows on cable about this. Nine times out of ten there is nothing and it can be explained. But sometimes there is something there. I am one of those people that with this type of thing I have to see it before I believe it. I have seen several things.

Perhaps you will see enough to believe it. Until then you will be skeptical. I have seen things and I still have questions.

Hey krajibg! I do believe that somethings just cannot be explained!
So therefore I do believe in the paranormal! I don't know it I
would categorize a banana coming out of the body of the tree
as paranormal or just a fluck of nature! Something being
paranormal is alot deeper than something out of nature!
I don't even know if it means you are superstitious! I just
know that there are things that happen that can't be explained
and that definitely point to occurences that are possibly
paranormal! I have no doubt that this exists! There have been
too many unexplained visons, ghosts and other things so why
wouldn't we believe that there could be restless spirits?

Hi Opal,
Yes, I know that the banana coming out of its body is not exactly in the perimeter of paranormal but it slowly tends to become such when people would look at this and make story that this occurrence is not good for the whole community and what not?
About other strange thing happening I too have had some experience.

Hello my friend krajibg Ji,
All paranormel happenings are "un-natural', till we understand their process. Recently a Kidney was transplanted at Vellore, where donor (mother) blood group was A+ and patient (Son), was O+. Apperently, it looks like paranormal,where we nevr expected it to happen,but when explained systematically, we accept it wholeheartedly. So one has to understand theory behind it. Whatever is happening around us, it has great theory. Let us remove doubts to make paranormal "NIL".
May god bless you and have great time.

Hello Jee,
You are absolutely right. They are so complicated that our mind can not reach the point and we label it as para normal.

Yes, the banana has come out from a rather odd place in the stem. I don’t know whether to believe or deny paranormal activities coz I have never experienced any. Mostly I have an open mind and is more inclined to scientific explanations coz I know just how superstitious people can be. However, by paranormal, I mean certain activities or presence around us, for which we have no explanation. I would have liked to feel a similar presence, or you know, how people speak of being possessed by discontented souls? Have you ever witnessed any such thing?

Well yes. Paranormal is the unknown. Things we don't understand. But this does not mean it has to be something bad.
I think in the case of the tree, that a seed from the banana tree got inside and started to grow. Sure unnatural, but not impossible. A stray seed so to speak. hahaha!
I never heard of the cow giving birth to a goat?
But who knows, maybe a goat is the father???
Like with mixed humans. There have been white couples, who have gotten a dark child.
Many husbands have left there wife's, because they thought the wife to be untrue to them. But the fact was, in the generations before, there were also dark people in the family.
I think, there is always and explanation for these things.
But, when we people don't understand, we start making up our own conclusions.
We tend to make things more difficult then they are.

HiMargajoe,
You have a point. All the paranormal or unnatural happenings take place probably due to wrong combination. The banana tree however has the remotest possibility to have got a stray seed for the body does not accept such thing. But still it happened and there must be a cause.
Thanks for sharing.

I believe in it but I think most of it occurs as a means to confuse people. Those who are with God are happy and have no need to return to earth but demons and unhappy souls trapped outside of "heaven" want to make people doubt their faith and lead their spirits astray so that they can't find their goal after their bodies die. So they visit the earth and fascinate and terrorize people and try to lead them away from the truth. That's just my opinion.

Hi there,
Do you really believe things like this? I know many people interpret the odd things thais way. Now as there is no scientific argument over these matters we are left between belief and doubt.
thanks for sharing.

Many of us prefer to see with our own eyes before truly believing in something. Paranormal or supernatural events are not witnessed by many people, hence we have more disbelievers.
I believe in the supernatural which is also called the paranormal even though the two terms do not have the same exact meaning. The event you mentioned is more of an extaordinary nature. Nothing strange, nothing supernatural. Some people may say I am dismissing things because I do not understand. The fact is I am a part time ghost hunter. I have seen many things.
all the best,
rosdimy

Hi rosdimy,
Yes friend, that is true. As people have not had the first hand experience of these things they are caught in the whirlpool of belief and doubt and yes what I have upheld is a unnatural thing and there is nothing supernatural about this. But unfortunately people make a cake out of it.

Honestly I think many things people think of as paranormal are simply normal things that are just misjudged. I must say though that I believe we still have a lot to learn about the world we live in! Many recent discoveries were once thought to be paranormal such as multiple universes! While multiple universes obiviously have not been proven there is enough evidence to back it up so that even the best scientists believe in it. Also Time travel has now experimentally been proven to exist at least with travel to the future. I believe there is much more we can still learn about the universe!

Hi there,
There is logic in what you have said. Some of the paranormal things have now been accepted as normal but still there are some which even the science has failed to realize and hence confusion prevails.
Thanks for sharing.

I am just curious about such things. What I am also trying to figure out how those crop circles happen. And who would forget the most bizarre thing about the Bermuda Triangle which up till now has no solution about missing aircrafts and other sea vessels traveling near that part will be a goner.
It is really interesting to know when they try to make a documentary out of it. And up till now, i guess no one has figured out the real answers why.

Hi there,
You are right. These odd things have been haunting the civilisation and no answer as such have been inferred to be true. The Bermuda Triangle is still a mystery.
Thanks for sharing.
