Do You Believe In Ghosts?

[Erana]

I used to be a non-believer then I saw one. No-one else did until later someone ran in shouting they'd seen a ghost. Then someone else. And we all saw the same thing, a young teenage girl, in the same place. Wierd or what?

Ya know, when I stand in front of the mirror, I see a teenage girl there. In the same place, every time.

And yeah, I do think there are ghosts, but not the "OMG, I'm a gh0st. Boo! LolZ" cheezy-types.
But really, the supernatural is all around us if we are open to them. Coelho's The Alchemist would clue you in.
(Damn, I love that book. Some of the best two hours I ever spent.)

No, reason for this is why should we jump to conclusions and blame the supernatural instead of finding the natural cause?

Why couldn't there be some sort of entity out there? I mean, there are so many things we don't know, and considering that all cultures make refrence to them, doesn't that seem like there's something more to it?

Hasn't this thread been done before?

No such things as ghosts.

I do, if only because the person who doesn't believe in them is always like one of the first three people to die by their town's friendly neighborhood supernatural murderer.

it would be more accurate to say that I don't disbelieve in ghosts. In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant. So what happens to the energy matrix of your brainwave patterns when you die? Does the energy dissapate into a non-cohearent form, or does it survive in some why. I guess you could call the surviving energy ghosts.

Personally I have not seen anything to make me believe, but just cause I havnt seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I believe there are... just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean there aren't any.

All in all one person explained to me one time that the feeling when someone is following you and you turn back and you think you saw something... that's a guardian angel, which would make sense since good ghosts aren't one to be in your face while bad ghosts (aka demons... now I'm not saying they ARE demons) tend to be waaaaay in your face.

Also... I've had a strange experience that I don't find to be coincidence.

No. I find most sci-fi to be more plausible than ghosts, spirits or anything along those lines.
