Do You Believe in Ghosts?

When you read these experiences, you see how people refer to the kids being able to see them easily. That's because kids don't have their filters built up yet. Their minds are open and free. So, they an see and hear hem easily. Our heads are so stuffed with crap it takes extreme moments for us to see them, even when they are right there all the time.

Ghosts, or probably spirits, visit us in our dreams a lot more than we realize. It's easier for them that way because our minds our open. So, when you are dreaming that you were talking to a loved one n your dream, they is a high probability that you were. That my opinion anyway.

I sure hope that is true. Normally my dreams are easily forgettable except for the dreams that have loved ones who have passed on in them. And then it is so lucid!

And yes, I believe in ghosts and spirits, I have had many unexplained experiences with the paranormal since I was little that leads me to believe this.

yes.

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!!!!

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes

I personally do not recall seeing one but I can sense/feel spirits around when they are letting me know that they are there.

My son has seen one. Often children will see them more as their minds are more open to what's around them then adult minds are. I know he saw one for sure because we were liviing in my grandparents house and he saw a lady walking around on the anniversary of my grandmothers passing. No other way to explain it away as she passed 30 years before he was born so he never knew her.

If I had any of this off the wall ish happen in my house, so help me God, I would burn this place to the ground. I don't play with any of this mess. Scary woods, ghosts, freaky noises and creaks...hell to the no. I'm out!

You would hate my house. Lol. Some of them follow me home after investigations I do, so it takes a while for me to get them to calm down and abide by the rules or get them out if they won't listen. And I also live in a house where four people died inside, and no it doesn't freak me out lol.

maybe ghosts are just time travelers from the future having a laugh at our expense.

From what I've gathered not really. Some think we are the freaks walking around with stuff they have never seen so they refuse to interact with us because they don't like our "gizmos" others realize they have been dead for a while know it's a different time/era and its ok. Some refuse to think it's anything but they last year they remember. I have yet to find one that says he is from the future. I've always got past ones, or ones that realize time has moved on and so they have adjusted with it.

I do without a doubt.

I saw my grandmother when she passed on before they called to tell us she was gone. I was getting ready for bed <I was 10> and got into bed and noticed something in the corner. I looked and realized it was my grandma looking like she used to before the cancer got bad. It was so odd, to this day I can still see it....she was standing there smiling at me with a sort of glow around her. She smiled at me, and did our little "I love you" sign that she always did with me <a wink and a blown kiss>. She said distinctly "I love you Shai...tell your momma I'm ok." Then she was just gone, like someone turned off the light. I jumped out of bed and ran to my dad and told him. He said it was just a bad dream. My brother <who was 6 at the time> came in a min later and said "Daddy, Grandma was here and said to say she's ok." My dad just looked at us and thought we were nuts. Within a minute or two, my mom called us to let us know that Grandma had just passed on and that Dad needed to stay with us kids while she and her siblings got the arrangements made, My Dad just looked at us while he was on the phone with Mom, and told her what we both saw. Needless to say, she was a bit shocked that we already knew,

Several years later, my Grandad died. Again, we kids were home with Dad while Mom was up north with the family at the hospital. Again, I was in my room and heard a noise behind me as I was doing homework. In the same corner of my room as before, stood Grandma, but this time she was with my Granddad, with his arm around her shoulders and smiling at me. Grandpa just looked at me and smiled, and said "I don't hurt anymore honey..." They both smiled and were gone again just like 4 years earlier. Again I stood there in shock, and went to my dad and told him that I thought Grandpa had just died. He looked at me for a min and said "Well, lets see if your mom calls." Lo and behold, the phone rang within a few minutes and it was my mom saying that Grandpa had just passed on. Apparently his last words were " I don't hurt anymore honey...."

For a stranger story tho...we had a huge monster fat orange cat named George. Absolutely beautiful cat... and everyone loved him. He ruled the house with an iron paw.... no one messed with him He ended up getting sick and having to be put down when I was a teenager. However, after he was gone (and actually to this day), people still come up to my mom to ask her about the huge orange kitty in her window with the white feet and bib. I have seen it myself in my old bedroom where the bed will hae been made, and there are a trail of paw-prints on the blanket leading to the pillow, and in the pillow is a big divot that looks just like a cat had been sleeping there. No other kitties got in that room, the door is always closed unless I am there. George's favorite spot to sleep was my bed on my pillow. Its been 20 years since he passed on...but he is still hanging around the house. My mom got new furniture a little while back, and all the animals she has now were standing around the one chair staring at it. We laughed cos we figured ti was the whole "new chair" bit that the cats and dogs were scared of. As we watched tho, we noticed that none of the cats EVER got on that chair, and the dogs would give it a wide berth, and eye it nervously. We finally figured out that it must be George who took over that particular chair when we had our little cousins over to stay for a bit <only 3 years old> and they kept talking about the "big orange kitty in the chair". We haven't had an orange kitty since George.

It's not a matter of belief. It's a matter of concluding that no evidence exists to give us even a reasonable suspicion that entities such as ghosts exist.

Every sighting of a ghost can be reduced to purely psychological phenomena: people's eyes playing tricks on them in the dark; people working themselves into highly frightened, and therefore highly suggestible states that make them believe a car's headlight in the distance is an apparition carrying a lantern; and so on.

IF we had lots of documented activity of ghosts and the like, as well as a way to independently verify and scrutize the documentation, AND the activity could not be more easily explained as photographic trickery and the like, THEN we might be able to reasonably say that such things as ghosts MIGHT exist.

I say "might" because entities such as ghosts are so at odds with our understanding of the natural world that it would require some compelling evidence to demonstrate their existence. The burden of proof is necessarily high because if ghosts exist, their existence would through into chaos our observations about how the natural world works.

Personal anecdotes, especially from those who are worked up into highly emotional psychological states, do not meet this burden of proof.
