Do you believe in ghosts?

I remember a ghost story my Mom always told. Her uncle was a pilot in WWII. He was training in Texas. He came from a farm in Northern Minnesota and had lots of brothers and sisters (my grandmother was one). One day his mother was alone in the farm house because all the men were out in the field and the girls were helping them. My great grandma heard someone walking around upstairs in the boys' bedroom. She went up to see who was there, but ....no one. This went on all day. A few days later she got notice from the USAF that her son had died in a plane crash while in training. It was the same day that she heard footsteps upstairs. They say the dead return home before leaving.8

Because I'm considerably shorter than you.
That could be an advantage 😜

The aliens will be robots.

Okay, yeah.... there is a very high likelihood that aliens (if they exist), in first contact, would be mechanical entities.
However, the mechanical alien(s) would need to be somehow produced from an intelligent lifeform, amiright?
And.... no alien ghost robots (although that would be pretty cool too.)1 -
I want to believe because the obvious implication that it there is existence of an afterlife, thus meaning that we can see our loved ones again. I'm not mortified by the notion of the eternal nothingness for myself or others, but for the longing we feel for those who passed whilst we continue living. I just cannot bring myself to believe in it.beagletracks wrote: »I think it’s scarier accepting there is nothing after death. Just nothing.
That's is actually really irrational to think of it that way. Yeah, you can have a fear of missing out when confronting the finality of death but when it actually happens there is literally NOTHING to feel and no way the feel anything. Like I said before, I think its more painful for the people left behind. That doesn't mean we should all just commit suicide either and life is valuable. Its kind of a paradox, I know. I enjoy the experiences, feelings and sensations that I have during my life, and the people I meet and how we influence each other's lives. but there is a kind of peace in death and its not something that should really be feared. Akin to a dreamless sleep, which we have all the time.

Heavy subject and think I just contradicted myself aha

I'm on the fence. I've had some experience but it could've just been sleep deprivation. I've done a few ghost "hunts" in 3 different cities, one was in an abandon sanatorium and didn't find anything. Was very disappointed.0

Yes. I believe the idea is that through evolution, organic life becomes inevitably intelligent enough to create strong AI. Which, in turn takes on the job of traversing space to connect nodes of solar systems...looking for material needed to sustain the AI.
By the time the AI reached another viable node, the authoring organic life would have long since gone extinct (because of the vastness of space, and time involved to travel).
In a way, the alient robots would BE the ghosts of the alien civilization.1 -

Do you want to share? @FabulousFantasticFifty0

A thousand years ago, I worked as a PA on one of those TV ghost hunter shows. Everything was faked for the cameras since time is money and we've got a schedule to keep. Younger me got to play the role of 'mysterious footsteps upstairs' and 'strange wall tapper.' The grip guys rigged up a cool trick where a large bell rang in the middle of a snow-covered yard without leaving any footprints in fresh snow. The 'ghost voices' were prerecorded in by the audio guy who had disabled the recorder's 'record' function. Spoooooky!7

I honestly don't remember. It was just a paycheck. I think it aired on ABC Family around Halloween.2 -

Sure, I'll share....
Gonna be kind of long 😉
Some years ago when my two eldest children were little, I had divorced their Father for about 2 years and lived on my own with the two girls, two and four years old. It had been a very stressful time in my life as I was struggling to support my children alone with no help from their father, and trying to study as well as start my career. On occasion, I would go out with the Ladies from work, but it was usually me to volunteer as the designated driver, so I never drank. On this particular night the girls were off with a babysitter and for the first time in my life, I was alone overnight. I came home around 11:30, read, watched tv, walked around the house for a bit not knowing what to do with myself, and finally decided to go to bed. I wasn't able to sleep so I decided to lie down in the girl's room. I had just turned off the lights and lied down and closed my eyes when I felt like somebody was standing right over me, I quickly opened my eyes, screaming "Who's that?!!" and saw a tall glowing figure definitely shaped like a man! As soon as I had clear view of him he just vanished! The weird thing about it is that even though I had been startled by his presence, I felt no actual fear, in fact.. I came to the realization that whomever this was, he was there to let me know that I wasn't alone. This had to be 34 years ago, and to this date this memory is so vivid in my mind that I can close my eyes and still feel the same feelings I had that night.
Another weird experience I've had is buying this old little Victorian cottage up in the mountains in a little town called Green Mountain falls in Colorado. I had started renovating this home complete down to the bones, pretty much rebuilding it. Our family dog Muffy would always stare up at the corner of the kitchen every single day and just stand there and stare for sometimes hours, no barking or anything concerning. I could never understand what the heck she was doing. This went on for many years at that home and peaked my interest, so I did some research and learned that if there is not a threatening presence, yet a presence in your home, pets will often display this behavior. A couple years after moving out of that house Muffy had to be put to sleep after being hit by a car. I had major guilt with this and lots of regret thinking that maybe I should have given her the chance by letting her have the surgeries to try to fix her. But at her age 16 years, and the fact that she could suffer in pain for the rest of her life, or even die on the operating table, I decided that it would be the most kind and loving thing to let Her Go peacefully. 😢 After having this dog for so many years she was like one of my children and this was the hardest decision I had ever had to make in my life time.
After putting her to rest and having her cremated, she was put into a beautiful little urn and I brought her home. I was devastated and slept on the couch right near her urn, her final resting place! I felt like I could smell her burned ashes so strong! My guilt was so intense that I didn't sleep and all I did was cry for 3 days. By the third night I was so exhausted and fell asleep on the couch. Then I was woken up the next morning, sun shining in the window warming me, birds singing and a lovely little nuzzling at my cheek. I open my eyes and there was Muffy just looking at me smiling her cute little smile that doggies do, she was beautiful, her coat perfectly white and brushed, (this dog that was always matted and hard to keep up with) she looked perfect and happy and Young. I then fell back asleep and woke up feeling like all of that guilt and regret was completely gone. I honestly feel that this was not a dream and Muffy was there and wanted me to know that she was okay and she was happy and healthy and perfect the way God had made her. 🤗❤️
Thankfully, I have never experienced any scary ghosts, but still feel like these qualify as ghost stories. 😊
I have a story about
Believing in Life from other planets as well, if anyone ever makes thread about that 😉 ... and no, I'm not a crazy lady who's into The Supernatural and Unknown Phenomenon. I just someone who had experienced some crazy things! 😋6 -

My roommates insist that our house is haunted.
But I've lived there for 274 years and never once met a ghost.1 -
The only ghost I have ever seen is my husband on a beach. Dude needs a tan.

Yes!
I haven’t seen a ghost but know a few people I think are reliable sources who have.
I have had a weird experience staying in a resort house with a group of friends. We found out after the house was haunted when we asked about the odd things that happened.
The ghost was a young woman who died shortly after witnessing her fiancé fall through the ice on the nearby lake as she watched him walk across from the dining room window. She etched her name in the window which is still in the dining room hanging after being saved from a renovation by the current resort owners.
We stayed at that resort for a girls’ weekend 4 years in a row. We all felt a sense of unease in the house and no one ever felt comfortable in the dining room alone though we didn’t know why at the time.
One night we brought up that we all felt it was haunted. As we talked about this the exit sign above the common room door started flashing and buzzing. It then stopped and never did again while we were there.
That night in one of the bedrooms a heavy fireplace grate fell from the hearth to the floor. My two friends staying in that room struggled to lift it back up together. They said it had to weigh about 100 lbs. The front desk clerk said it had never fallen before. She told us that the cleaning staff often reported hearing footsteps or the sounds of “someone” in the dining room.
So while we didn’t actually see anything that place definitely has a weird vibe.
