lekkie073: really, i thought they said the had the ability to disappear, or turn into birds and fly away?. . .Read Lord Luggard's book and his testimony of what he saw , he narrated how one juju priest REALLy believed he could turn them into some kind of animals when they came cos he was hiding some criminal inside his shrine which was a sacred place. . .After reciting his incantations, the juju preist was arrested and locked up. Nothing happend. people tie animal skins and charge towards them, all that chaaged towards them with the animal skins tied round their waist ended up dead or seriously injured. . .People should STOP watching Yoruba films, nothing portrayed there is real or ever happens in real life, it is pure FICTION, people just believe that because they see something on TV it must be real even when its in a home drama series or movie. . . 1 Like |

FOLYKAZE: @bolded: Therein lies the trick, and indeed, it's one of the oldest tricks in the book. The first "jazz" test is done with a real bullet on a poor animal to convince observers that what they are about to see is for real. The gun usually only contains just that ONE bullet. When the time comes to test the "jazz" on a real person, they shoot with blanks. Now note this: If someone is randomly selected from the crowd of observers to wear the jazz or shoot the gun, that random person was really not chosen "randomly" -- he/she is a part of the show. If there are other observers with their own guns to test and the "jazz" still seems to work, believe me, they are ALL a part of the charade. If mazaje is really serious about your challenge, you are only going to get a foolish man killed. I very much would love for this to be tested and the video recorded as evidence, but I just cannot bear the thought that someone will die in this whole exercise. Unless mazaje chooses to shoot him where he's likely to survive, that's somewhat cool by me. Really, I wholly recommend that you guys watch the movie "The Prestige" and learn how great magicians and illusionists are able to completely deceive people right in front of them, that they would leave those people SWEARING that what they just saw is beyond natural. |
Re: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by Nobody: 12:50pm On May 01, 2013 |
mazaje:you cant become a believer without your deliberate decision. Its in the bible. Romans 10:9-10. For most pple, christianity is a religion. But its more than that. Its a new life. A relationship with God. Ps:the bibilical prophecies have come true, or are coming true. We see them coming true everyday. The bible even talked about the character of men in these last days. Men would become God haters, unbelieving romans 1:29-32. Thats why we pray u believe. Its simple faith. |

Bearshare: Not again please! I posted the explanation of this trick on this forum 3 years ago, but for your sake and others', I'll post it again. Here you go: There are two basic methods , 1) Clothes are designed for fast removal 2) They are not removed but drop (flap down) to reveal the garment underneath and the inside of the lowered part. It's a combination of these that makes it complicated, together with the fact that they are specially designed, very very light stage costumes in silk so that when you start with say 10 layers on it appears normal. An example of each method: 1) The clothes are not buttoned or zipped , would take way too long. They have loop and eye fixings and these are held together with a thread that runs through the paired up loops. The thread simply need fast removal and the clothes fall of, drop down... whatever. The fastest 'hands free' removal is to have a 'ring' on the top of the thread and this is hooked over something on the 'cover' i.e. the umbrella, screen, sheet etc and when you walk away or this is removed it pulls the thread and gravity does the rest. (Note; lead shot in hems would make it drop faster!) 2) Imagine a dress with the top half is a different colour on the inside and you wear a matching top underneath. If the top is separated at the shoulders, it can now flap downwards and become the skirt , showing the inside colour and the new top. Instant change. Combine several of these to change designs, sleeves no sleeves, high neck, low neck , and that's it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . For the glitter trick, they most likely used a technology where the clothes are made with either LCD sensors or small triggers that work like human muscles. For the LCD, a person offstage could simply signal the outfit to change color and design. With the muscle-like triggers, clothes can either be released or--more commonly--draw up or down to give the illusion of a different piece of clothing.

Toluwarni: Firstly, I would like to address the authenticity of the video you posted. I watched it carefully and analysed it several times. The production of the video is highly suspect especially between 1.56- 1.57. The bird landed on the red carpet and the next second its on the concrete floor. Can you explain. Secondly, here is my own explanation of what may have caused the bird to 'fall' http://www.avianweb.com/seizures.html http://www.mickaboo.com/newsletter/jan12/art6.2.html 'Stress: Some birds (particularly budgies) are susceptible to "stress seizures" - also referred to as " cardiac racing syndrome" - and most of the time, they will come right out of it once they calm down. For birds that easily stress out, a stress-free environment should be created as much as possible, before any major change, some homeopathic remedy (like the Rescue Remedy for Pets) might be indicated to help a pet deal with stresses.' |

AMvanquish: Hmmmm! Read some pointers here. Some have really been some food for thought. But i'd like to share an experience with y'all i had back in my high school days. Prior to that incident some 13-15 years ago, if any one would come n tell me about anything supernatural then; i would just shove ur story in the trash can. i am a"facts" n "seeing is believing type". smh. Here's your point in a nutshell: 1. I witnessed something I had never seen before in my life. 2. This thing I witnessed was so strange, I couldn't explain it. 3. Therefore, it is supernatural. It's funny how for those of you who claim, "I never believed in these things, until I witnessed so and so with my own eyes", the things you claim changed your minds are no different from the very same things you supposedly used to dismiss as nonsense. This is indeed a pointer to how fragile our minds are as humans, and how much tendency we possess to lean towards mysticism when faced with uncertainty and fear. Dude, indeed the things you saw were no film trick, but guess what? NONE of what you described suggests anything supernatural. What you just described above seems like the typical case of an individual with either Autism or Asperger's syndrome. People with these conditions are known to exhibit impulsive behaviours and abrupt mood swings. Those with Asperger's especially, are often known to have bipolar disorders. In more severe cases, these syndromes are accompanied by bouts of epilepsy and sleeplessness. This could explain the red eyes. As for the change in voice, many people suffering from Autism and Asperger's are known to mimic different voices, often times uncontrollably. There's no "someone" speaking through their voice, it's just a sorry condition they have to live with. Regarding his "Hercules moment", some of these people have also been observed to have unusual physical strengths, despite looking frail. That Skinny Kid had no "spiritual attacks", he was just a poor sick boy who needed lots of CARE. |

mazaje: Unfortunately, I won't be visiting Nigeria this summer. I'd very much love to personally record the whole thing and upload the video here on Nairaland so that these people will stop inundating us with falsehoods. |

Toluwarni: Obviously the bird was killed and the video edited, if you can see you will notice that the bird flew and landed on the red carpet suddenly the bird was on the floor without the carpet dead. . .The video does not have the bird flying and landing dead on the floor as a result of prayers and the chants and noise the people were making. . .The bird landed on the carpet next thing it is dead on the floor without the carpet. . . 1 Like |

I'm beginning to tire out. Since this thread hit the front page, it's been really difficult keeping up with the numerous nonsense flying in left, right and centre. I really hope that some people here have learned one or two things from our posts explaining those things they think are voodoo. I leave the rest to you guys now: jayriginal, dare2think, mazaje, musKeeto et al. I'll continue to monitor this thread and chip in when I think my input is required. Cheers. |

Purist: This thread is really interesting; Freethinker vs atheist. Who we win? I don't want to comment before but seen your quoted post make me comment. Somebody said a skinny boy "whenever the spirit came upon him, he will begin to do unusual things i.e carry heavy things. Yet you said "He sick and need to be taking care of" How do you define your own sick? I mean if someone sick. |

Re: What Are Your Views On Supernatural Occurrences? by Purist(m): 2:06pm On May 01, 2013 |
Emusan: From that guy's story, the Skinny Kid, I suspect, had/has a severe case of autism or Asperger's syndrome. People with either one of these conditions exhibit most of the behaviours he described, including carrying heavy stuffs. And yes, while these conditions have no permanent treatments yet, they can be managed properly through medications and therapies. Skinny Kid needed to see a doctor, not a bunch of Alfas reciting ineffective Quranic verses to his ears. |
