Do You Believe in Ghosts?

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.

    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.

    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.
