I'm pretty sure I saw a ghost when I was seventeen. Have you seen anything?

Also- if someone could direct me to where I can get my username changed, that would be super!
Happy fitday!

    Nope. Never seen one, heard one, felt one, etc. Science hasn't supported any entities of paranormal activity nor have any actually been captured and authenticated.
    Ghosts, spirits, souls, etc. are just something that people WANT to believe in so that there's an explanation of unexplained events that may happen in their life.

    "Superstition is the religion of the feeble-minded."

    That'd be a no from me as well.

    No - I don't.

    But I also won't say Bloody Mary three times in the mirror, either.

    I'm a conundrum ;)

    I love my science.... but seeing is believing.. and I have been through some things science has no explanations for... how do you explain 3 people ( including myself ) seeing a woman walk through the wall.. in your own home? we had nothing to drink, no drugs, there was no toxic substance around us, we were not delusional... the wall was solid.. she was not a figment of our imagination... so yes I definitely believe... always have since I was very young. : )

    I like to think she's more of an angel than a ghost but I've seen my grandmother many times since her death.

    What about Candyman?

    I can do Candyman, no problem.

    I really am terrified of the whole Bloody Mary thing though.

    I guess that while I don't believe, my mind is always open to possibilities.

    Yes, but in the sense of a parallel universe, not "ghosts".

    Have seen several throughout my life, including a little kid in my current house. I'm also part of a paranormal ghost hunting team. :)

    The proposition that these alleged " supernatural entities" have measurable and detectable "energy" along the electromagnetic spectrum is laughable and absurd. Why should we assume that something, which is vague and undefined and which breaks all physical laws, could even be measured by instruments -- which are calibrated by those very same physical laws -- bear any meaningful physical evidence? LULZ. To the ghost hunters and those that believe the fiction of the ghost hunting TV shows, keep titling at windmills -- you're not doing science, but theater.

    Don't believe in ghosts or any of the supernatural stuff seen in most movies. :#
    However, I do think that there are "things" we don't normally see, that are sometimes seen, completely natural to our planet.

    Yes. I grew up in a haunted house. My friends from high school still talk about the freaky and unexplainable things they would experience whenever they spent the night at my house.

    Yes, I do believe in things science can't yet "prove." The emphasis is on the word YET. Just because we haven't yet perfected the technology doesn't mean we won't.

    That's indoctrination. You probably heard that story when you were really young and impressionable.

    That's how the church gets them too.

    And atheism.

    And if you really think about it...we're all "indoctrinated" in some way or other.

    I see where you are going with this, but if something resists or is incapable of falsification, then science will never be able to show if it likely exists. Proof is a matter for mathematics anyway.

    Also, science is predicated upon scientific naturalism and something that is not predicated upon the same criteria has no chance of ever being shown the likely-hood of its existence. This is an epistemology schism that can not be resolved by appealing to ignorance.

    Its all, or nothing.

    I don't believe in ghosts. But there are some things considered paranormal besides ghosts that I do believe in...due to my own experiences. That's all the detail I'll go into on that. :)

    Atheism is a negation. Therefore, negative statements generally require no proof, i.e. evidence. Sorry, but retreating to a false equivalence does not offer you the cover you seek for beliefs that demand evidence complementary and as rigorous to the claim being made.

    Ghosts demand high quality evidence and none of that exists.
