Tell me the truth, do some of you REALLY believe in ghosts?

Question

No really, are some of you really that childish? I mean come on, you say you hear things like 'voices' or 'scratching' and attribute it to "ghosts" or "spooks". Try and think logically for once will you? For sound to occur it has to have a physical source. Something has to act upon the air to modulate sound waves. That means something physical. So, by definition, anything supernatural like a "ghost" would never be able to generate sound. Or move a physical object.
Some of you also say that they walk through walls. Yet they walk on a floor and even climb stairs...
Don't you see the stupidity of these statements? If they have no physical form (yet you can see them apparently) how could they be supported by physical objects?
And why aren't they naked? What, do thier clothes have some sort of "soul" or "spirit" too?
I know most of you apologists will say "oh your just close minded" and that's where your 100% wrong. I'm using something called logic, you probably don't recognize it...

And yes, I put this in the religion section because that is where the majority of you post questions of this nature. To me, ghosts, goblins, pixies, leprechauns and god all share one common trait; they all belong to the realm of imagination and fantasy. There isn't a single shred of evidence that supports actual supernatural events or beings. None.

Holy crap! Did two of you ACTUALLY say that wind can't exert phycial force? Are you guys honestly that stupid?
Ever fly a kite morons? Or fly in an aircraft? Believe me, air is a fluid. And like all fluids can be captured, pushed (like in a fan) and exert force.
It's no wonder you people believe in ghosts! You're all retarded!

rp_joe, satan and his amy? Who's amy? His girlfriend?
You really are a moron did you know that?

Pangel,
thanks for giving me something to laugh about. "mediumship"? Oh man, that almost made me spit coke on my screen! You make it sound like it's a real course.
Of course, it isn't. You'd have to be some kind of con-man to make people believe in ghosts in order to "cleanse" them for the saps.
So which one are you, the sap or the con-artist?

Answer 1

I for one cannot believe the retarded answers to this question. It's no wonder that the US is slipping further and further behind other nations when it comes to research and technology. If people like you exist (you know, the douchebags that think ghosts are real) then we deserve a president like Bush.
Un-friggen-believable man...

Answer 2

I've SEEN a ghost in the 'flesh' as it were, until you've actually experienced something like that you will be a skeptic. I'm still skeptical about a lot of paranormal activities, most can be explained away by science, but, how do you explain away a ghost that I've actually seen? I didn't know anyone had died in that place, it was an everyday ordinary common or garden house, I had a severe sense of foreboding before entering the house and when I went into the room 'he' was in, I asked the estate agent if anyone had died in that room and did he die of a heart attack and she said 'yes', explain that! AND when I was around five or six years old, I 'saw' a dog at my friends house, apparently a dog had died there not long before hand, there were no dogs in the house at the time, go ahead, explain that. I'm happy for you to tell me a scientific explanation for this sort of thing, actually I'd welcome it, but I've done some research into the paranormal and that sort of thing seems to have NO scientific explanation.

Answer 3

You make several assumptions for which you offer no evidence.

First and foremost, that alleged apparitions must necessarily be "supernatural" (whatever that means -- I'm a naturalist). They could well be natural phenomena, but of a type as yet unstudied by science. Science should make no a priori claims of what is "possible"; that's not science, but dogmatism. It should simply examine the evidence and offer the most plausible hypothesis to account for it. Believe it or not, there are actually reputable scientists engaged in studying paranormal phenomena. It's a field fraught with difficulty, for a number of reasons, but potentially of great significance.

Scientists are often blinded by their own "wishful thinking," namely their desire that a scientific paradigm into which they have sunk their entire professional career not be questioned or invalidated. That's why they make rash and unsubstantiated claims. You really ought to read some philosophy of science.

I'm pretty confident that this will be your best answer. Are you going to give it to me, or to a yes man?

Answer 4

You seem so against the idea. Bordering on intolerance even. What people believe is none of your business nor mine.

And to respond to your physical form theory, wind has no physical form either, and yet it moves things and has sound. Before technology, how did anyone really know it was there? They couldn't see the air, OK maybe if they were in LA, but you get my point.

I am logical also, and do not believe in such things either, but I make a good point.

Answer 5

There is evidence out there. What about EVP recordings and the millions of photos and videos. Its true that some of the claims are false but not all of them. Do some research about REAL poltergeist cases. There are some things that science cannot explain. You say you’re using logic but yet it seems as if you don’t really know anything about the paranormal. People devote their time to studying Ghost because they are so “unexplained”. I wouldn’t call you close minded just ignorant because the evidence is there. You just choose not to believe it.

Answer 6

yes i believe in ghosts and spirit and paranormal happenings although they are all very separate and many can be attributed to human energy and/or natural occurrences

a ghost is the residual energy left over from an event/person from the past and will replay over and over like a recording .. it is not conscious and cannot be communicated with

a spirit is a conscious energy of a person who has passed on who can communicate via a medium

bangs knocks bumps etc can be attributed to human energy ( such as poltergeist experiences ) this is not ghost nor is it spirit
it is commonly known to happen with teens in the home especially females between ages 13-18

Answer 7

Who said something has to be physical in order to produce sound/move objects? Take a look at the wind. It moves objects all the time, yet it doesn't have a "physical" attribute, no more than the air we breath.

So it seems your logic has a problem.

Answer 8

I have considered a ghost, or something that i ought to call a ghost. the difficulty is; it regarded like my cousin who develop into and remains alive. I have a theory about them too. they don't look to be human beings of their previous existence residing on the earth. they're both demonic spirits or angelic beings. i imagine that for the period of each and each and every of the situations the position I both referred to what human beings verify with as 'shadow human beings' or 'ghosts' it develop right into a demonic spirit. So I referred to them. So sure, i trust them.

Answer 9

I'm a ghost of strong desire. Change your mind this very moment if you like to believe in truth. What are you and the ideas connected with the word 'physical' etc., other than imagination? All this sits in the mind...so do ghosts.

Answer 10

What a sad thing it is to not believe in anything. I wonder if 200 years ago you would have said that magnets are just parlor tricks because science hadn't explained how they work. Yes I agree that seeing is believing but sometimes you had to believe in something in order to see it.
