The ghost's point of view

I saw the other day a movie (I will not say publicly the title so I will not spoil it for anyone who sees it) where we saw the reality from the ghost's point of view.

Does anybody know anything about this?

As anyone heard about it? Are there any theories about it?

I'm going to try not to ruin it too:

You mean the one with those three and the smaller two and the lonely one and the curtains and the creepy old lady and then "Woah! Surprise!!"

If so I love that movie. It is the best fiction work describing that possibility IMO.

Yes, that is the movie I was talking about (I think), its a very good movie.

Have you ever heard something about that, not counting that movie?

Many times paranormal researchers give you that point of view in one way or another. Especially as it concerns phenomena that stay attached to a given place - which was heavily hinted at in that movie in both the cases of the wife and husband (if it is the same movie). The most interesting part in that movie is how the proposal they offer really fits into the sort of perception that is at least more common (especially in that final bit where everything is unravelled - brilliantly done in my opinion).

Many times I've heard of hauntings that stick to one given place repeating certain actions - for example closing or openning doors, turning on certain lights, moving certain pieces of furniture back to a specific location. I think the movie tries to approach these cases and offer the other side of it - and in a plausible way. (If, of course, one admits that these cases are in fact ghosts )

I don't know much about these kind of phenomena though - others here will probably know how to answer your question best.

EDIT to add:

Also, in the cases where physical attacks or chaotic/aggressive behavior are reported it could be also said that the ghost is just as scared? It is of course speculation though on a subject that is already obscure itself.

Could you u2u me the title of this film as id like to watch it 'what dreams may come' is a brilliant film btw if youve not seen this.

Why the secrecy over the title of the movie? You've already given away the twist to the plot. The movie is called "The Others" with Nicole Kidman. It was made in 2001.

I was just assuming that if I could talk about the movie and answer the question posed without actually revealing the name of the movie any member that hasn't seen it and read this wouldn't know it was the movi we were talking about whilst seeing it. Like... I can say "I saw a movie where a guy dies in the end", harmlessly I think but if I go "I saw the movie [insert name] and character [insert name] dies in the end", there's bound to be someone going, "Oh... thanks..."

Sorry if I sounded silly doing it.

Hey - SPILL! You won't ruin it if you tell us the title of the movie.

Tell me the title, I'll rent the movie, then I'll tell you if that's about right or not.

That movie was great! Very well done and what a surprise twist at the end. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

I think it's hard to comment on the movie because until we die, we'll never know the truth. I suppose its possible, but it was actually a pretty grim outlook. I'm hoping there's more to "life" after death than that.

While you're at it, write a review.
Hahahahahaha

I love movies that have the crazy twist that blows your mind. The Sixth Sense was one. Another really good one is The Skeleton Key with Kate Hudson. I won't give away the details but that one rocks!

I never know what other people think, so I try to avoid situations where I could upset someone by saying something as easily unsaid as the name of a movie.

I see we have that in common, I also liked those movies.
