Once while on a road trip I slept in my car next to a lake. I woke up late that night and went to go to the bathroom and looking out at the lake i saw what looked like the glow from a buey or a boat but upon looking closer i saw that it was coming from beneath the lake's surface. It seriously creeped me out
This. I never quite understood those shows, but some of their "explanations" for ghosts can be hilarious.Brokkr said:
Yes, i believe in ghosts.. Cause i have seen ghosts two times..
First time i saw it was when me and four of me friends where driving along a road in the middle of a forest, just as we went around a corner, all of us saw the shade of an old woman wearing a white night gown, crossing the road and walking into the forest then disappering.. Everybody was shocked and just stared at each other, all asking the same question; Did u guys see that??!?!?
That was really creepy..
And a couple of months later, driving down the same road, i saw it again. But then i was alone in the car..

I do. My father had to stay in a rehab facility (physical) after falling down the stairs. One night, while on a group outing, the receptionist got a call. The lady on the phone had a German accent and sounded static-y. She specifically asked for my dad, and she said that she was his mother (my grandmother). When he returned, the receptionist told him that his mother had called. There's only one problem with this. My grandmother died exactly a year beforehand. The receptionist quit her job.
I know this sounds like total BS, but I swear that it is 100% true. So in short: yes I believe in ghosts.

Yes. Here's a funny story for you.
The house my family lives in now was built for us. While this was being built, we moved out of our old home to a rental house called "The Villa". The Villa had what we liked to call a second upstairs. I don't mean it had a first floor, upstairs was the second floor, and the second upstairs was the third floor. I mean the second floor was divided into 2 unconnected areas on different sides of the house. The second upstairs consisted of 3 rooms: 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The toilet in the bathroom would always flush on its own, and my brother and I had a joke that it was a ghost with a bladder control problem.
Anyway, my bedroom window stared into the window of one of the bedrooms in the second upstairs. One night, I'm just looking out the window, when I see what looks like (and you're not going to believe this) A GIANT ORANGE TUFT OF HAIR FROM ONE OF THOSE WEIRD TROLL DOLL THINGS. The rest of my family was asleep, and I rubbed my eyes and pinched myself a couple times while looking to make sure I wasn't dreaming before it disappeared.
Weird, huh?

no i don't. but my friend saw a funny skate board dead with a black person holding a flame thrower and behind him were kkk members and it said "i ain't afraid of no ghosts!"
No, I do not believe in ghosts - I believe in science. I do respect people who do believe in them, and I do not claim to have the final answer. I do, however, personally lean up against following scientific discoveries whenever the question of ghosts is brought up:
There is a centre in the human brain devoted to handling with whatever "supernatural" ideas this brain may think up, if it's God, ghosts or something entirely different. Having an epileptic seizure located in this part of the brain can make a Christian person believe they've heard the voice of God or something similar.
I do not believe that anyone claiming to have seen ghosts (or -having- seen ghosts depending on how you look it at it) suffers from epilepsy, but I do think that this centre can receive excessive stimuli and so conjure things before our eyes. This would be why people are more likely to see ghosts in the night, while being alone, preferably after watching a horror movie - all these factors of unease stimulate the "supernatural" part of the brain and people starts seeing things. Do note, however, that I am no brain-scientist-whatever, and I may be speaking bollocks here.
Another point of mine is that the brain is made up purely from fat and enzymes, and our thoughts and emotions are chemical reactions, and as such I find it unlikely that these chemicals should form spirits or ghosts after the brain ceases to function.
My view is as good as anyone's, though, and should anyone come up with a convincing reason for believing in ghosts I would rethink my beliefs again.

I do. Not because I've had experience with them, but because it's a choice between that and not believing, and I prefer to think they do for some reason.
For those who say science is the reason why you don't believe in ghosts, you're wrong; it's your cynicism. Unless it's been disproven, no matter how low the chance is according to the current scientific model, you cannot state science as the only reason for your lack of belief.
