Do you believe in ghosts and why?

My brain says they don’t. They absolutely can’t.

But nobody in my family can explain who the man was who would sit and smoke a cigarette in the chair by my bed when I used to sleep over at my grand parents as a child.

I believe in the paranormal.

I've been looking into parapsychology lately, and it is interesting.

I stopped being a materialist a couple years ago.

Perhaps ghosts are an aspect of conciousness, I don't know.

I no longer think people just cease to exist.

Yes. Its part of my culture. Though I have never seen any like you do in the movies. Usually its just feeling a presence like somebody else is in the room. Though when I was a kid I had some health problems that Doctors failed to diagnose. So my Grandmother insisted on taking me to consult the ancestors. I spot somewhere out in the bush. She built a campfire and said we had to wait. It took a long time before anything happened. I was half asleep. But I remember multiple voices and could see the shadows of people against the car. But when I turned over to look at Grandma she was alone by the fire...

I was at Curlew Job Corp and one night. Was chatting with two others. We suddenly saw a apparition come down the aisle, then turn.

We went to the area, three possible areas it could have gone. TV room (Nope) bathroom (nope) then the locked furnace room. I swear I saw it go into the door. That's one.

Some weeks later, I was awakened by being punched in the back for a week. There wasn't anyone around when I looked. Several suicides happened there I was told.

I acknowledge their existence but prefer to ignore, cause they effect u only as much as u believe in them 😅 cause it's a mind world beyond this physical body, so it's all mind game, don't give it all attention n power over u, best to ignore and keep going your way. The more u believe in them more horrifying n Mysterious it becomes in ur head n then they can overpower u.

Yes I do believe in them, we have them in our house, we call them Haints here in the southern US. We live on or near a Civil War battle ground and believe they are from that era.

I do because I've had many, many paranormal and supernatural encounters throughout my life.

I don't.. I believe they are demons masqurading as the Ghosts or decieced people..

I saw [i]something[/i] one night. I don't want to say it was a ghost, because it had an outline, something like a strip of energy with specks of colored lights inside the strip. Inside the strip of energy it was dark. The shape appeared to be that of a human male, with a large beak of a nose, a deep chest, and a wasp waist.

It walked [i]through[/i] the closed door from the basement, across the hallway, and into the bathroom.

If I didn’t that would be akin to not believing in myself 👻

Do you?

I believe in evidence, not say so anecdotes. Clearly define what exactly a ghost is and how this is known

yes because I experienced the preence of one

No, I don’t believe in any afterlife, when you’re dead you’re dead

i do. but i also think shows like ghost adventures are complete BS

No because I’m capable of rational thought.

If I see one I will beleive 🙂

Can't say I've met one.

Nah

No because no matter how hard they have been looked for for thousands of years the evidence is still no greater than anecdotal and psychological.

I do, and always have. I had their existence confirmed for me after a weird night in a house that had a reputation for being haunted.
