long ago people thought comets were signs from the Gods. we know thats not the case anymore. anything that is unexplained now will someday be as simple as that.0

No such thing as ghosts, or spirits, or zombies, the dead do not come back to life on any form. Once death occurs, kaput, you're dead.
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”
― Albert Einstein
Dr. Reynolds asked Einstein if he believed in ghosts. Einstein confessed he had never seen one, and added, "When twelve other persons have witnessed the same phenomenon at the same time, then I might believe."
From: Charlie Chaplin, My Autobiography, Simon and Schuster: New York, NY (1964), page 321:
thats the thing if they really were common enough that a bunch of people on this site have "seen" them or their evidence then we would have scientific proof of them by now. we dont.
I've seen a large white rabbit riding a bike and people walking past my window on the 8th floor of my apartment. Needless to say, I don't 'believe' in either of those despite seeing them with my own eyes. There are always other facts at play. Seeing does not always equal believing.0 -
With out a doubt
too much freaky (but good) **** started happening soon after my dads passing for me to write off as conincednece, missing him or wishful thinking
interesting things are still happening but not as often as before0 -

Arthur C Clarke hypothesized that some of these ghost images we see are actually a neurological event happening between our brain and optic never.
using Occam's razor what is more likely...its a neurolgical event or a ghost?0 -

exactly...long ago people thought when someone was acting weird it was demonic possession..now we know its mental/psychaitric disorders that cause it.0 -

But if there's no life, there's no energy, so there can be no transference of energy.
And no, clowns don't apply either.0 -

Another absolutely crazy book is called Someone Cry for the Children. IF you can find it, READ IT. That book is absolutely insane!! I had to read it during the daytime with my dad in the room. (I read it when I was about 14)0 -

I forgot, this s the Internet. Only studies and facts else you can't play here in this sand box.
Too bad the few ruin it with constantly having to be right instead of saying what they have to say and moving on.
Oh well.
lol says the person who DIDN'T say what they had to say and move on.
or should we all have just said yes or no and left it at that.
if the OP wanted for people just to list ghost stories they would have asked for it...instead they asked if you do or do not believe.0 -
Now I'm watching a show on netflix about animal ghost stories since I've watched all the other ghost story shows lol. I love ghost stories!!! Let's hear them people.0

With the popularity of ghost and possession movies, do you believe in ghosts or supernatural stuff? Have you experienced something that you can't explain? What are your experiences? Do you have pictures?
Yes I have experienced The Supernatural experience of Redemption, Sanctified, Justification by totally unmerited Grace and that thru Faith--not of myself nor anything in this world, but is a Gift of God by His Holy Spirit and have supernaturally received Salvation from sin...I believe in, trust on, rely upon The Holy Ghost. He is my Comforter. He points me to Jesus and Teaches me all things of The Lord and Jesus shows/teaches me of The Father God. Because God is a Spirit, I worship Him in Spirit and Truth. The Pictures I have are His Word. His Word is worth a billion pictures and though I do not fully understand the mysteries of God in totality...I Seek His Face and study His Word to know Him more and more. This surely is not exactly what you were asking about--but I wanted to include my experience with The Holy Ghost and to let you know that God is no respecter of persons and will reveal Himself to anyone who humble themselves, pray, seek His Face and turn from their wicked (which means twisted) ways--whosoever will dare to call upon The Name of The Lord and Seek Him with their wholeheart--He will be found of them. God has not given us a "spirit" of fear, but of love, joy and a sound mind. {{{{Hugs}}}}

Check this out--These are some Words from Jesus, that talks about The Holy Ghost:
John 14
King James Version (KJV)
14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
I shall bite my tongue.0 -

In...simply to say that I agree with this post and to watch how quickly the thread will disappear because of this post.

Now I'm watching a show on netflix about animal ghost stories since I've watched all the other ghost story shows lol. I love ghost stories!!! Let's hear them people.
First one:
I was home by myself at my aunt and uncles house one night. I was waiting on my friend to come home and I heard the screen door open. I was standing in the kitchen at the refrigerator and I saw him walk right past the door was leading to the kitchen and go to the his bedroom. I said hey and he said he was tired so I didn't follow him or bother him. Thirty minutes later, I saw a car pull into the driveway through the living room windows and I heard him tell them good night and close the door. He walked into the house, smiled, said hey and sat down next to me. I asked him about coming in earlier and he swore to me over and over that he had just got home.
That is one of a few strange occurrences that happened at that house.0 -

Actually, the subconscious knows a lot. Simply being hit on the head (or other head trauma) can cause people to be able to recall the weather on every single day of their life since birth. And that will always be more impressive than being able to spit out a few lines of a language you don't 'speak'.0 -
Nope. No verifiable proof, no reason to believe. It's as simple as that.0
-
I do believe...have lived in a very haunted house...and I would say that that boy is just trying to get attention when he tugs on shorts girl.0
-
Are you sure about that?
well i guess it is hard to prove an absolute negative but there are no scientifically proven cases of someone learning a language they were never exposed to.
most of them are hoaxes or the result of amnesia.0 -
No such thing as ghosts, or spirits, or zombies, the dead do not come back to life on any form. Once death occurs, kaput, you're dead.
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”
― Albert Einstein
But if there's no life, there's no energy, so there can be no transference of energy.
And no, clowns don't apply either.
That doesn't make any sense. Energy transfers. This is physical law.
Explain it then, cause right now you're not making any sense to me. If there is no life, there is no energy, so how can energy transfer if there was no energy to begin with. The only way that it makes sense to me is if through decomposition then bugs turn that into energy or the body becomes compost for vegetation.0 -
interesting note: scientists have recently been able to implant a false memory into a rat. so in theory in the not too distant future we could implant an entire language into someone just like downloading a file. along with any other information.
exciting times!

It could be possible, especially if you heard the language when you were a baby being spoken. Sometimes I have dreams entirely in Spanish or Portuguese, and I'm not fluent in either one of the languages. If you're talking about something like Tongues though, naw. That's just as spooky as ghosts, spirits, zombies and clowns.0 -
I don't mess with stuff I dont want messing with me...I believe if you dabble with crap you conjure things up and bring bad things upon yourself....I wouldn't even keep that picture much less..stay in that house...I try to think positive, stay positive..thumbs up all around lol..Im creole sooooooo yall can mess with what you all want.0

TOPIC: Do you believe in ghosts?
Yes!
unashamed (1 part of God's being is a spirit or "holy ghost" or "holy spirit") I believe in evil spirits as well. spirits take on as much power for a person as you pay to it, ignore it, i think it ignores you0
