Until I see a real ghost, I don't think so.
It's just a belief.

I believe in ghosts because in my own house which I think was haunted, I would hear ny name being called but no one was there in the house.

.Osmond_Fan

I believed in ghosts before, but I'm even more sure now.
'Cos my friend took a picture on her phone of her sofa, there was nobody there when she took it, but when the picture came through, there was a body outline.

i may be an atheist but i believe in spirits and i believe that there is someone like God....i just don't believe that stupid symbolic story the bible. Dunno about Heaven n Hell i know that demons exist for sure. You can sell your soul to them......There may be spirits wandering the earth in spirtual form....

I honestly don't know, although im naturally skeptical i have family members and friends of family who swear black and white they've seen/encountered one. These include my cousin who was in tears because she says she smelt my grandads smell (:s) and her things move about on there own ever since the ashes have been in her house. Also my dad who saw one when he was younder (around late teens) it was submerged into the floor and he could see the head. and then theres those photographs with a white glow/distortion effect which have been took during funerals...

My stance is that I feel inbetween when concerning the issue of ghosts. I mean, I'm not going to say that I believe in them but at the same time, I'm not going to dispute that they could exist. Heh, that's part of the reason why I like to watch Unsolved Mysteries because a lot of ghost/supernatural situations are covered in it.

I beleve in ghost/demos/spirits I have seen them alot pretty much at a normal bases when I stayed with my aunt

You could hear foot steps and doors would randomly close and one day we were sitting out side and we were listing to a tape not a CD a tape and it was playing the same song so we thought it was skipping so I turned it off but it kept playing so I unpluged it and yeah it was still playing I took the tape out also.......and it stoped and when I went back out side it started playing again and no one else was home except me and my cousin we were pretty freaked out. And one time I was there and I saw a black fog thingy didnt have a definate shape or anything just like fog that was black and floaty.

And my weird aunt not the one that ownes the house did a thing where you stand in a circle with candles and ask the ghost to come out and a tree crashed trew the window . Then my other aunt who owns the house got mad and yelled at her and moved.

I suppose not. I've had experiences at times that were somewhat like ghost stories, but I usually thought I was just hearing or seeing wrong, and that nothing was there.

GAH!!!I hate this topic,
but I must post ;__;

In my Creative Writing class, there are a handful of people who can see
'spirits.' Freaking creeps me out!!
This girl named Cymone, I think she's Wiccan, but anyways,
she sees them all o___o'
It disturbs me when she tells us stories. .

Or my friend Joey who has a desperate old wife in his room.
Or the perverted old man that makes Ashley's bed creak and grabs Adrianne's butt when she comes over.

My first experience, well, I didn't believe in ghosts and that. .
but when I was in Japan, I looked out my apartment window,
there was semi-transparent kids on swings.
I was awestruck but I shrugged it off.

And then, whenever I go to my parent's room,
I'd hear dancing and people whispering.
That, I shrugged off too, because I didn't want to think anything of it.
Maybe just paranoia, because I never saw "ghosts" or things like that ever again.

Until, one night I woke up in cold sweat (once in my life)
and I got up and I turned to see someone sitting in my chair, cross-legged.
There was a strong shadow, so I thought 'wth?'
But even though I knew no one in my family has a body contour like that,
I was too shook up to get up to investigate because then I noticed
my entired room was lit red.
My lamp is colored orange, and it's in the corner--blocked off by a huge shelf.
Meaning, it won't light my entire room anyway.
But the point was, there was someone sitting on my chair
and my room was lit red.
It took me awhile to go to sleep.
I thought I was just imagining it, but it felt like someone was watching me.

Probably not a spirit. Probably not.
But that's just my input in this topic.

*Yes. I'm like spiritually phobic XD*

Just demons running around screwing with people to pass the time. Making them powerless isn't that hard...alas, most people won't take the step.

Nikushimi

"Ghosts"? "Spirits"? "Demons"?

They're all just fake words used to give these no-better-than-con-artists "ghost hunters" and "psychics" jobs.

The entire idea is utterly absurd. Think about it: Why the f**k would you still be on earth as an intangible entity? If there really is an afterlife, why not heaven or hell? You can't touch anything when you're a "spirit", so there's really no point.

On top of that, all of these people that claim to be able to communicate with the dead are obvious fakes, playing off the superstitions and insecurities of their VICTIMS- yes, "VICTIMS". They act like they can hook you up a conversation with a dead friend or relative, and they give you false hope, which is totally wrong. They're a bunch of lying thieves, and if there is a hell, they will burn in it when THEY die.

Face it- when you die, you die. No spiritual or demonic being is going to be lingering over your shoulder, because he/she/it is dead. Dead, and gone forever.


If there's truly an afterlife, it's gotta be MUCH more amazing than just floating around in a world you can't touch for the rest of eternity.

1. You have a friend who is Wiccan? Then of course her stories would freak you out. Wiccan's are satanic, and in fact, if I'm not mistaken, "Wiccan" and "witch" are synonymous. She's prob'ly some Emo freak with angst. Is it really so amazing that she's that weird and demented? Anyway, she doesn't "see" them. She prob'ly tells you those stories to either make herself seem "cool" or to freak you out.

2. "Desperate old wife"? I dunno 'bout that, but as for this "perverted old man", maybe Ashley's just a lez-bo and grabs Adrianne's butt when she's not looking. o_O;

3. The Japan thing, now, is as simple as the "Haunted House" ride at Disneyland: THEY WERE REFLECTIONS!!! You probably saw the image reflected onto your window by some kids on swings with light being shined on them, bouncing back and making them seem "transparent". It's like... Okay, take a flashlight, and go to your window at night. Make sure the lights are off. Then, hold your flashlight under your face and turn it on. OOOH!!! Spooky transparant ghost in the window! ...Oh, wait a sec, that's just YOU.

4. Dancing and whispering? The whispering could just be your parents, and the dancing is most likely your neighbors.

5. For that final one: A DREAM. Best I could explain it as, anyway... >_>;

I have never seen a ghost. 4 years ago my father bout a summer house, from the bank. Some old lady owned it and she died a lone in there; she did not have any relatives.
One day some staff started to fly around me, it was a black and small with out any form or shape, there was about 10 of them (I was alone, big surprise) I hear sounds like a wisper. Also I heard some sounds from the roof like steps in the attic. We just bout the house, so attic was locked and absolutely empty, I have checked it right after that.
So now I do not really know what is going on, but my geuss it's posable that ghost exist.

Do you believe in them? That old spirits still dwell on Earth?

xxx [color=red]I beleive in spirits not those weird things they show in the late night horror movies.An incident was told to me by a catholic priest-a certain youth was possessed by a"spirit" after he performed some strange exercises &used "magical" incantations.(inspired by harry potter).the only "spirit" I beleive in is "THE HOLY SPIRIT".

Nice attempt

1) Um, one. She isn't a stereotype. If she is, it'd be a drama geek.
But just because she's in 'drama' doesn't mean she's going to act everything
and she doesn't EVER want to BE COOL. She's different. I'm like her.
We're trying to defy society's labeling.
On some things I believe her on, and some I don't.
But I will someday join them and see if they're true or not.

2) Ashley is a bimbo blonde. She can't stand homosexuals, and Adrianne was standing in a corner.
I don't really believe her stories, but if I ever go to her house
and someone grabs my butt,
I'm gonna yell at whatever is behind me (the wall, or the "ghost" guy)

3) No. There isn't any light outside except the moon.
The swings were covered by leafy treetops, but eh.

4) No one was home when I heard those things.
To me, I still believe I was hearing things. So that's the only reason I can come up with XD
Our apartment, you couldn't hear the neighbors.
Yes. They were quiet neighbors.

5) I woke up. And I WAS awake because my heart was racing and I had trouble sleeping.
But, the most logical explanation was that I don't wear my contacts to bed.
That'd explain the figure, but not the red light of my room.

-------------------

to me,
I don't believe in a Heaven or Hell.
Because we all "sin" and all that, so we might as well all go to Hell.
I think there is an afterlife, and I think spirits that are supposedly here
are just here because it was not "their time" to die.
That's just my belief.

.A.J.P.

I heard a story of this band on the TV that had seen some scary feces like ghosts. They were at this one house, and one of the guys were in the shower, and supposively he saw a headless man pass by, and he looked in the hall, and nothing was there. It was interesting.

Don't say I'm insane, but I thing I've seen one. took a picture one time, and you could see in the background of the picture a fuzzy wite shadow in the background near the clouds, but it was very visable. I Also belive I've seen ghosts haunting me in my shadows, mainly because sometimes I see shadows, and something about them don't look right, and it looks like something extra was there, like a arm.

Life is weird, you can't blame anyone.
