Do You Believe in Ghosts?

louisey112

Personally I am a non-believer, but never had an experience to believe otherwise. My boyfriend on the other hand claims he and his family actually saw a ghost - a woman dressed in all black - walk right through their living room .. he said they all thought it was a friend of their mom's and when they asked her who it was, she didn't know what they were talking about. They all went to the room where that lady walked to and there was nobody in there. Kind of freaky. If you've ever had a ghostly encounter, please share!

My eyes have played some crazy tricks on me to the point where I thought I saw ghosts, spirits or what not. Then I realized that there are no such thing as ghosts and that it was just my eyes playing tricks on me.

SmartWhatever

Yes- I believe! There's a ghost in the house where I live now. He turns the faucet on in the bathroom, bangs things around upstairs and has even touched us all at one time or another among other things. I see him several times a week.

I do.. ive seen weird things, lots of friends and relatives have as well.

Why cant ghost/spirits exist?

Laces_0ut

No. if they existed we'd have proof by now.

JenStyle30

I believe in them... I love love love the show Ghost Hunters!

statickey

Yea I believe!! I've never really had an experience, and don't want one, But I have very close friends And family who have told me of their experiences. I love ghost stories.

stepharega

ScatteredThoughts

Nope

therottenrook

Yeah, ghosts don't exist. Neither does Santa. Or, the Lochness Monster. But, people believe anyway.

My mom passed away unexpectedly in 2007. I was crushed. About a week later, at 3am, I woke up to wind whipping around my room, curtains blowing like crazy. I looked at the foot of my bed, and there was my mother, standing there. She was transparent and didnt move or say anything, but she was there. A few days later I spoke to my brother, who lives about a mile away from where my mother and I lived. He was telling me that a couple nights before (the same night I had my experience) that he woke around 3am and the wind was blowing all around his room, he didnt see anything, but he woke his wife and said to her " my mother is here". It was crazy that we both had an experience like that on the same night. We also both realized that even though the wind was blowing our curtains all around, etc. Our windows were only open a crack, not enough to make the wake us on a normal night. lol It was actually a good experience for me, made me feel like my mother is still here with me! So YES! I believe in spirits!!

I believe anything is possible. Given the small percentage of brain power humans actually use, the countless unexplained things that happen all over the world daily, and all of the unexplored places, etc. You just never know.

its a myth that we use only 10% of our brain.

The myth's durability, Gordon says, stems from people's conceptions about their own brains: they see their own shortcomings as evidence of the existence of untapped gray matter. This is a false assumption. What is correct, however, is that at certain moments in anyone's life, such as when we are simply at rest and thinking, we may be using only 10 percent of our brains.

"It turns out though, that we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all the time," Gordon adds. "Let's put it this way: the brain represents three percent of the body's weight and uses 20 percent of the body's energy."

Oh if its from a scientist then, it must be 100% factual. My mistake.

If you have better supporting evidence for your view on the subject, please do share.

huh? im just telling you that its wrong to beleive we only use a small part of our brains. its like saying we only use 3 teeth to eat. we know thats not true.

ElizaRoche

No. if they existed we'd have proof by now.

there are LOTS of videos and pics from all over the world... That you try to find some logical explanation to everyone of them, well thats different.

JennyLisT

Nope. If you want me to believe something exists, I need evidence.

Oh, yeah- you mean those people who dedicate their lives to research and have a much more complete view of existing research. I'll take their word over people claiming they had a nighttime visitor that no one else saw.

The very first thing that should have came to every ones mind especially on Sunday is GOD, Jesus Christ, the holy spirit. Where is your faith people. I believe from the depths of my soul in the holy spirit. I know Jesus Christ died for our sins. Is this your ghost maybe not but it is the spirit after death. Even science says energy can not be destroyed. Billions of people of this world believe in some form of religion and God. Are you such and atheist that you will go against this common highly documented phenomenon? Perhaps you will find out one day but I know where my soul and my families souls are going after death. I have more faith in God than I do in myself!!!!

i just dont think those vids hold up to scrutiny. if a video did come along that was real i think it would be verified by numerous groups. and it would be the top of every news program.

energy is not destroyed but it does change forms. so the energy in our body dissipates through decomposition.

if there is a soul my guess is that its not energy as we know it. of course thats just a guess.

My thoughts exactly (except for the soul part). I believe that the energy from our body breaks down with the body.

I really am that much of an atheist. I like knowing that the atoms making up my body were once bits of stars.

Non believer. But like to hear others stories.

Yes, but only in movies.

Find it milding amusing that people get cranky when asked a simple opinion question. No right or wrong answer, just what do you believe.

Anyway.. I do believe. Had a ghost in the house I grew up in. My mother used to ehar a woman weeping heavily throughout the house. Could hear low, awful moaning at night. I heard man laugh, woman scream. Bells would ring throughout the house. It was eerie.

In the apartment I shared with my hubby up until about 2 months ago, I always used to have this sensation that someone was standing next to me. One time felt someone touch me on the neck. For about a month before I left, things were falling off the wall. Never told anyone about it, especially my ex who doesn't believe in such things. However, told him about it after I left because he is going to move and I basically said good, the apartment is creepy. Turns out that he often got the sensation of someone standing next to the bed and one time thought he saw someone going out the window but of course no one was there. His sister visted us in November, she said she felt someone hit her in the back one time and his mother, who visited in December, used to feel like there was someone in the bedroom with her, running their fingers up and down her arms (she was staying in our bedroom where he felt someone was standing next to the bed). It was the first time either one had visited us, he never said anything about his experiences, I certainly never said anything about mine to them as they are from Africa and don't speak English.

As I said, its been two months that I moved and since then I have never had that sensation of standing next to me in that time.

I have tons of stories that family and friends told me but those are the ones I personally experienced.

yeah...dont know if there is a soul. would like to think there is. would love to think there is some big adventure after this life.

and i too love to marvel at the fact that the atoms in our bodies were once inside stars. we are all billions of years old!
