Do you believe in them? If not, why? If you do, why? Any stories, ever seen one? What do you think ghosts are?

I can't believe these people actually believe in "demons" and Satan talk.
No, I don't believe in ghosts. I have never seen one, and I do not believe that anything happens after you die.

Your question has two aspects: one scientific and one belief.
The scientific answer is: Parapsychology study of mental phenomena not explainable by accepted principles of science. The organized, scientific investigation of paranormal phenomena began with the foundation (1882) of the Society for Psychical Research in London. Such early efforts attempted to dissociate psychical phenomena from spiritualism and superstition, and particularly to investigate mediums and their claims of evoking spirits or apparitions. The society also studied automatic writing, levitation, and ectoplasmic and poltergeist activities. One of its principal founders, Frederic William Henry Myers, summed up the society's early efforts in Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death (1903). An American Society for Psychical Research was also founded, with James Hervey Hyslop as its leading spokesman. Considerable experimentation has been conducted, perhaps the best-known being that of Joseph Banks Rhine at Duke Univ. The Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man, created in the early 1960s, has since replaced the Duke program. In Great Britain the work of Whately Carington and Samuel George Soal paralleled that of Rhine. The great majority of parapsychological studies have focused on the area called extrasensory perception (ESP), which includes telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition. The popular press often reports stories that are parapsychological in nature. Many scientists criticize the claims made by parapsychologists, arguing in particular that there can be no proof of such phenomena.
The belief aspect is in the New Age material. I have talked with people who have interacted with the nonliving. I personally have no experience with the nonliving (ghosts). I can not argue with belief, so I listen patiently to their experience.
I hope that helps.

Maybe there are ghosts for non believers, but for the rest of us the Angels, 2/3rds Good , 1/3rd bad, control the spiritual battlefield. I like the odds, but I dought if satan's angels which we renamed demons fight fair. It is Biblical that when you pray and you don't get an answer right away there could very well be a spiritual battle going on as satan tries to steal Gods answer. Never worry as as you stay faithful your answer will get through.
God Bless you

When man die their very thoughts do perish. They sease to exist. One of the great lies of our time, " man can comunicate with the dead" How can you comunicate with the dead if they no more exist not even their thoughts? So comming back to your question. What people see when they see a ghost is merely a demon. Demons can masquarade in many forms, they can even take on the appearance of a loved one. Demons know us well they've been around for milions of years and know us personally, their job is to mislead us.
ghost = demon
Not
ghost = dead human

I don't believe in ghosts. Why? Well, prove to me that they're real, and I'll change my mind.

I believe they are souls that don't go back to God or wherever they are supposed to go and they are left on the earth plane.
