Does any one believe in ghosts,spirits the past? If you don't U should because they're very real... like air they seem to be wanting to tell us something because they always bother. they never leave us alone they probably watch what you do. Talk about getting ure Privacy. They're just there to scare you test you see if you don't believe. It seems like they bother when u least expect them to bother. You could tell if they're around because someone or if you have somone in ure house with u they will get very angry for no reason at all then you got to prey or do what you do i shout and curse at them but not people seems like they take of after that. mellow.gif

I'm afraid it will take considerably more than simply your word on the matter to get me to believe. Do you have anything in the way of objective evidence, as opposed to speculation?

Just because you say something, doesn't make it exist.
With your logic, you could tell me bacon is actually made out of cheese, and expect me to believe it.
Obviously, that's silly.

Cheese and bacon.. I'm so hungry!! Believe me original.gif

The main arguement for ghosts NOT exsisting is that they are simply a product of the human desire of an afterlife. Just because we all like to think theres an afterlife, however, means not that there are not ghosts.

So in short, I do beleive.

I strongly believe in 'ghosts' as i was haunted for years and saw and felt many strange things. The main things i saw was an old woman, a dog and things that moved by them selves! My children had their bedding thrown off them in the night! things were put in the oven and the oven turned on. Voices and banging were heard constantly. People who enterd our house saw, felt and heard things.
This happend to us for years, we saw a local perist, who evenchally came round and blessed our house, and the weird stuff stopped (as strangs as that may sound).

If you look at anything long enough you'll see strange movement or shifting shapes. It's called eye strain. How long it takes to happen depends entirely on how good your eyes are. It's far from proof of life after death..

Omnibus, what are you on, really?

1. Do you think you stating that ghosts exist will change the opinion of everyone, without any form of solid evidence?

2. Do you have imaginary friends?

3. Do you usually stand in front of the mirror, looking at yourself?

I have believed in ghosts, but your post made me doubt them, more than believe more.
Jim_PM_Gerrity
The current, most compelling footage of the existance of ghosts (according to some), can be found at

http://www.the-atlantic-paranormal-society...untershome.html

(a link provided by Unexplained Mysteries Dot Com)

Check out Episode 105 - Eastern State Penitentiary, and the WMV files attached to that story. It depicts a figure approaching the camera, and then away in a most inhuman movement. I'm not saying that this is in fact a ghost, or that it isn't (in my experience, I believe in ghosts, but I'm certainly not putting my faith into someone else's home movies), but it's worth a look, regardless (and read the explaination regarding the footage, it's worth it, too).

Enjoy, everyone.

i believe in ghosts because after you die that cannot be the end.. well to me that is

but what if you are inrtuding on their land ? ? i think that is why they attack people and other stuff, but some ghosts are friendly like they are lost and all they need us to do is help them get to where ever they are going

I can say that I believe...in spirits I mean. But there are people who say it's all in your head...but how can they say something like that with so much proof??? The have audio, video, and photo of spirits, ghosts and other strange things. So people say that it's all a malfunction of the equipment. But how can it all be a malfunction when so many different people pick these things up??? Oh yea that right!! It's all just coincedence!!! Yea right, bud!! If you have seen what I've seen, and so many people that I know, and heard what we've heard...you'd believe...

... ... *sigh* ... ... sorry about the completely random ranting...

Why are you so caustic, Omnibus?

Maybe you'd be taken more seriously if you weren't so, in a word, negative. Then again, I can see where you're coming from with some of your retorts. Lord Kazius was making a joke (more than likely), so I can't say your response to that was really valid, but then again, Putte was pretty strong with suggesting you're on drugs, stare at yourself, and have imaginary friends (not starting a fight at all, Putte, I'm just trying to understand where Omnibus is coming from). It's quite perplexing.

Take this for what you deem it's worth. I'm not against you, nor am I picking on you, but I don't think these people are deliberately getting on your nerves, either.

No worries, Putte. Trying to figure out where Omnibus is coming from; where everyone's coming from on the topic, actually. Mind shedding some light on any of your experiences? I'd be interested in hearing what everyone here's actually seen.

If you actually take the time and listen to certain people's encounters and the differences between logical explanations as opposed to extraordinary ones than it'll really change your view on the whole matter.

Coast to coast AM is really an interesting program on the radio which lets listeners comment and tell their stories of ghostly and angelic encounters.

Now what sort of explanations can you give them in their sort of experiences. It's like deciding to walk in the park when a mugger decides to steal your wallet. You have no defensive equipment to protect yourself. Just as with a paranormal experience you weren't prepared for. There are hundreds of cases such as these, some not documented and others that are. Hell, I'm not a well-trained researcher in these sort of matters, but it really isn't hard to look out for these "signs".

There are things the general public cannot explain as of this moment, but if you broaden your scope of view of reality and the things that go "bump in the night" you'll realize something more...

As I understand it, ghosts are the physical manifestation of someone who has died in tragic circumstances... or who has died after many years of suffering from some awful grief and misery that was never resolved or reconciled while the person was still alive.

For instance - the ghost or apparition of a Mafia murder victim who has been buried in concrete at a new construction site - may in later years occasionally be seen by the office workers in that building to be gliding along the corridors looking sad and woeful that his murder had never been discovered, and that he had only been registered as a 'Missing Person'.

I've never seen a ghost, but I have been in places where I have suddenly felt an overpowering sense of prickly fear - and become convinced that a malevolent presence was watching me with great interest from another dimension close by. In all of my years this has happened only three or four times... a couple of times in broad daylight.

Interestingly, although I would suddely feel malevolent eyes upon me - I somehow knew it was not capable of traversing the gap between us to do me any physical harm. But the overpowering and chilling fear was always enough in itself to make me leave that place of dark forboding and eerie mystery.

I believe. I once lived in a haunted house ... Some say a gate way to hell...Somehting you have to see for yourself to truley belive......

I would like to say that all ghosts are not the result of death bye violence. Though I have not seen one, my wife, and sons have, usually past family members. My dead Father in law stayed around until my Mother in law past on(breast cancer). after a few months stay they seem to have moved on. No sightings in a long time now.

Of course my wife and I are in our 50s so maybe they made room for us.
Hope not. Still have things to do.
snuffypuffer
I don't really believe in ghosts, but I'd like to see one sometime. Just so I can find out what they are.

I don't know if this comes under 'ghosts' exactly - but one of the most chilling things I have ever witnessed was something shown on a television news report - and happened here in Australia about 30 years ago.

A family bought a small weatherboard cottage in a suburb on the outskirts of Sydney... and then, several weeks later - quite suddenly - this very loud, insistent, aggressive pounding and banging sound began to be heard in one of the walls.

The television news teams stuck with this story for about a fortnight - until the loud hammering sound stopped as abruptly as it had begun.

During this time they had TV cameras set up inside and outside of the home... with microphones everywhere. And each night the news service would treat us to a couple of minutes or so of this mysterious banging.

It was never a continuous noise... it was always like someone angrily banging on the wall - and then pausing for a minute or so - and then hammering away again as though to call out someone living in the house.

From my observation of the camera crews etc ... they looked as mystified as anyone... and a bit scared. I have no doubt whatsoever that it was genuine - and not some sort of stunt.

Poltergeist... was that what it was... ?

Hmm...I'd say I have a rather twisted believe in ghosts but I'd say that they aren't the spirits of the dearly departed. (I think they have a more sinister role in the spirit world) happy.gif
Loco Chupacabra
Theres this house in SanDiego that was on sale really really cheap, so many people knew it was too good to be true, my brother was going to buy it and wanted to test it for a 2 days, apparently the house was haunted with a ghost that didn't want anyone to live in there. Things would fall, doors would start banging, almost everytime you put somthing down and come back it would be on the floor or under the bed, and not to mention the house was realli realli cold, even the heater wouldn't warm the house up enough, got out of the house and didn't buy it. Anyone who doesn't believe in ghost are the fat americans or whatever sitting at home without investigating anything.

A while ago I was searching some topics on this forum, and all of a sudden on a post I saw a dirty ghost gnome! I kept on seeing him for a while until one day, it disappeared!

Hey Paolo? Are you still there... ? I saw a few spirits as I passed by the bottle shop the other day... And I swear I saw a gnome at the bottom of Aunt Betty's garden last weekend... And I see black cats crossing my path all the time.

I believe in ghosts because I have seen one and experienced a haunting a few years ago. I wish I had attempted to get evidence of what I have experienced before I moved. However I am optimistic to someday find convincing evidence that will make all skeptics believe in Ghosts because I know they are real and so do a few members of my family.
DoubtingThomas
Just a question:

I get this "when you've seen one, then you'll believe" attitude a lot. Is this really true? Do people simply write off things which they deem inexplicable as proof of ghostly presences?

I live in a brand new house, built on empty land. It's not haunted, but it sure seems that way, due to some shoddy construction ( disgust.gif ). Creaks, puffs of air, cold spots, all manner of nocturnal and diurnal sounds. Enough that when I was little, I was convinced in the existance of ghosts. As I grew older, I realized that there were earthly explanations for all the 'bumps in then night' that I experienced. Still creeps me out, but I don't go around screaming 'I'm being haunted!'

I do know some people who have had strange experiences or live in a place where inexplicable things happen (best friends GF lives in a 'haunted' residence) but I know a lot more people who are just throwing their hat in with the supernatural lot to seem cool, because they want to claim that they are 'experienced with it', or to cover up their own fears of the finality of death.

I saw a ghost once therefore I believe in ghosts. And I know it wasn't my imagination because I simply just don't imagine things. tongue.gif

Besides if ghosts didn't exist then how is it there are so many reports of them and stories? Things that don't have substance simply don't continue on in such a big fashion. So there's got to be some truth to this whole thing.

I certainly believe in ghosts, having lived in a haunted cottage in the past and actually seen the ghost in question...that and the strange coldness of the master bedroom was enough to convince me, not that it was a malevolent haunting, it was benign and the whole house had a great feeling of peace and comfort...clearly the ghost was not evil.
