Do You Believe In Ghosts?

[Fox1789]

i do, and i had an experience a few times in my life one recently happened in a wooded area where i live. A friend and I where walking in the woods when we started hear something that sounded like a pack of dogs we jumped into his truck and it sounded like there where dogs surrounding the whole truck, and nothing was there. Then, my friend beeped his horn a few times and turned on the truck, when the headlights went on we saw a pair of shiny eyes like a deer but the eyes belonged to something that was shaped like a man and it was a greyish color.. we put the truck in reverse and sped out of the woods

I refuse to believe, because if it's true, I'd never sleep ever again.

I think there's a logical explenation to most things in life.

 

[Aardvark]

No, no I do not.

 

[Billybarbara]

I have seen a gohst but it might not of been real the mind is a funny thing.

 

[Clemenstation]

NEGATORY.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Of course I do, there has to be some other plane of being. I don't think this is the only way we live, I think there should be another way to live on or perhaps other people who just live in alternate plane.

Honestly, you can say whatever you wish to prove or disprove, its up to the discretion of the person. But yes, I do believe in the supernatural.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Yes, yes I do.

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

Oh, absolutely. I've run into some before, though fortunately they were all benign apparitions. Most of them really aren't that bad if you don't go off screaming.

 

[Xvito]

No.
No I do not.

 

[Brokkr]

Nope. I am always amazed whenever I am flipping throught the channels on the tv and run across one of those "Ghost Hunter" shows where they have people who act all serious as they explain how they are hunting ghosts.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Not at all. No gods, werewolfs, vampires ghosts or smurfs. I beleive that there is a rational explanation for everything. If something is unexplained then that does not mean it is supernatural. Or that god did it or whatever. It means that we have yet to find the cause.

 

[Fronken]

Nope, seeing as it hasnt been proven in any sense of the word, i dont see any reason to believe in it.

Take mediums for example, all they are doing is using a technique called "Cold Reading", so people talking to spirits has been proven to be bullshit.

Ghosts however, hasn't really been disproved yet, though all the tv shows about it sure do come close to proving there's no such thing as ghosts, for example, take one of them, doesnt matter which one, they'r all as lame, when they sit around in an old house with absolutely no light what-so-ever, meaning they are in complete darkness, Then they say they hear things and see things moving, Explaining this is very simple:

When in a very quiet place for extended periods of time, the human hearing becomes more delicate, picking up sounds one would normally not notice, meaning they are able to hear the wind even through walls as well as bugs and stuff inside the walls, making them believe they hear ghosts.

When in a dark place for extended periods of time, 2 things will happen:

1, you're vision will become more keen on seeing even though its dark, making your eyes more sensitive.

2, Human instinct will kick in, the most basic of all our instincts, the survival instinct, that makes the mind portray things that arent real, and make out patterns to resemble danger for 1 reason, to make us get out of there, dark places is the best place for predators to hide, meaning we humans arent very comfortable in complete darkness when we cant see our surroundings, that all dates back to when there were actual dangers out there, like tigers and lions and stuff like that.

So no, i dont believe in ghosts seeing as 99% of it has been disproven through either science or genetics/dna research.

Knocking on my window. Shadows behind me in the mirror. Doors opening. I see people when I am at one end of a hall.

 

[Madshaw]

I don't realy, i won't say it is impossibal but i wont say i believe it either

 

[MarsProbe]

Ghosts? No, I'm afraid not. It's not my belief that people linger around in the living world once they've died, regardless of the circumstances of their demise.

My senses (usually the sense of sight) have played tricks on me the dark countless times, but there's always been a perfectly plausible explanation for it. It may look like a ghostly figure now, but in the morning, it'll just be the clothes you left hanging up in your room...

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Our brains naturally look for human shapes in our environment, so something out of the corner of your eye may be mistaken for this.

I don't believe in ghosts. It shares the argument against past lives that people only see picturesque stereotypical ghosts. When has anyone ever seen a stone age ghost? or a ghost from the less popular parts of history?

 

[GreyMorality]

Ya I believe in ghosts. Most of my family thinks theres one in our house. It always acts up when we renovate something. About a year ago we were rebuilding our back porch for about a week he would knock stuff of the wall every night. Also I know for a fact that the old man who lived in the house before us died in the living room.

 

[L.B. Jeffries]

No, but I also believe that time isn't real so when something awful happens it leaves an intense void in quantum physics and causes places to feel unnatural. Precise overlaps in the variation of perception allow people to go so far as to watch events reoccur but with their own impression distorting the event to make it now center around them.

*shrugs*

I want to believe, but unfortunately I'm conditioned to not believe in something unless there is evidence to support it. I had this discussion with some friends a few nights ago, and they all ripped on me shamelessly for having the belief that can't be backed by evidence.

I am now trying to get them to do a seance with me, just to for once and for all prove it.

but yeah.. I really want to be able to believe in it, I have even seen some things that look like they could confirm it, but that's on television, and you are meant to take that with a grain of salt. So until I have a first hand experience that can't be explained I'm gonna have to go with no.

SCIENCE! SCIENCE I SAY!

However, let's say for a moment that ghosts are real. When someone dies, they sometimes stay on this earth as an echo of themselves. Why, then, would they stand around in dark rooms scaring people?
I personally think the human subconcious is crazy powerful, and chalk most supernatural occurences up to that.
