So what do you believe?

Me and the missus have started watching just about every paranormal show we can find, and she really believes in all that stuff, that people die and can return as ghosts

I believe that there is a spirit world, but those spirits have never been human and trying to contact them could turn out to be pretty nasty.

What do you think?

Do you have any ghost stories ?

I think so, I stayed at my aunts house and around 2am one morning the bathroom door slammed shut. There's no windows in the area, later that night I seen lights swirling around. It couldn't have been from car headlights because her house is way back from the road. She went out to the store once when I stayed there alone and I heard something like foot steps on the second floor, I went up there and no one was there. My aunt didn't believe me about the swirling lights but she called me about 2 weeks ago and said she seen the same thing.

Maybe ghosts aren't really ghosts. Maybe its the 3rd dimension colliding with ours lol.

lol I've thought about that before, like watching things like Ghost Adventures, when they are using different equipment to hear voices from beyond, I was imagining a parallel universe with them in the same place doing the same thing and hearing themselves lol

The poll should sound more like: "are you naive enough to believe in ghosts.... outside of video games?" XD

Such kind of "believing" is called superstition, and I thought people intelligent enough to operate a computer couldn't be affected by this kind of things. Oh well, after all there is someone using Apple "holy" product so everything's possible in this world XD

Wait, does someone actually believe in ghosts?

Not trying to be rude here, but isn't that something to make movies somewhat interesting - rather than something that actually exists?

No -- the movies are based on a glimmer of reality. ;)

Watch Supernatural, amazing show... I have actually even seen one, and no it wasn't my brain's mistake...about 5 or more years ago, at night, when the power was out in my area, me, my sis and her neighbour friend were hanging out at the balcony at the back of my house, suddenly we saw(all three) a glimpse of a "thing" in white clothes in the corridor, if only i saw then it would me my brain playing tricks but all three of us saw it...I kinda don't believe in ghost but as a Muslim, we believe in Jinns which are one of the the creatures God has created...so i believe maybe for some reason they vibrate at out frequency so we can hear and see them for some short time...

There should be an option for people who subscribe to an agnostic view, not believing or disbelieving without seeing proof.

Not sure how to word that option without turning the thread into a religious debate, you're welcome to add the option if you can word it as such :)

I don't believe there is any kind of "spirit world", "afterlife", or "other dimension" dead people go to (think about it, if they were in a dimension we can't perceive we wouldn't see any sign of them at all).

Not sure how to word that option without turning the thread into a religious debate, you're welcome to add the option if you can word it as such :)

I didn't mean agnostic as a stance on any religions or deities. I just meant an option for those who don't subscribe to either position ('yes' or 'no'), in regard to belief of the existence of ghosts, due to there being no known evidence. But I see your point and I would certainly not wish for this to turn into a religious debate, heh.

Perhaps "I don't believe or disbelieve, due to there being no known evidence" would work as an option?

Sounds good to me :) (I don't have any editing time left so I`ll let you add that option)

Oh yeah ghost exist alright... *sarcasm*

I watched that episode and they called him out and told the viewers he was BS'ing

One hoax does not mean all ghostly experiences are 'faked'. LOL :laugh:

You should really read more. ;)

no no I know! I was meaning that it was only that one guy who was messing around, not the whole show, and they even zoomed and slow motioned it to completely show him up as a fake (He was a guest on the show) and ensure the viewers didn't think they were trying to pull a fast one on them :)

    • The fact that memory in general is so high I have to take a loan out to build a computer now is just beyond stupid. Who's really to blame here? Low supply or high demand?
    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
