While some accept ghosts as a reality, many others are skeptical of the existence of ghosts. For example, the vast majority of the scientific community believes that ghosts, as well as other supernatural and paranormal entities, do not exist.
Human physiology may make us more susceptible to ghost sightings. Ghosts are often associated with a chilling sensation, but a natural animal response to fear is hair raising, which can be mistaken for chill. Also, the peripheral vision is very sensitive to motion, but does not contain much color or focused shapes. Any random motion outside the focused view can create a strong illusion of an eerie figure. Also, sound waves with frequencies lower than 20 hertz are called infrasound; they are formally inaudible, but British scientists Richard Lord and Richard Wiseman have concluded that infrasound can cause humans to feel a "presence" in the room, or unexplained feelings of anxiety or dread.[2]
Sometimes ghosts are associated with electromagnetic disturbances, which suggests that they might be attributable to the electromagnetic field and not to a presently dead person. Often, videos of paranormal investigators will show them using E-field or B-field detectors and finding "ghostly" results near wall outlets and electrical appliances.
Psychological factors may also relate to ghost sightings. Many people exaggerate their interpretation of their own perceptions, either when visiting a place they believe to be haunted, or when visiting a site which they know has seen unpleasant historical events. Certain images such as paintings and movies might "program" a person to automatically associate a certain structure or area as haunted because of what they have seen in the movies. As well, the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia may cause people to perceive human-like faces or figures in the otherwise mundane surroundings of their environments, particularly in conditions where vision is partly obscured, as in a dark corridor or at night.

the respond that each and every person's searching for: sure, Ghosts do exist they simply show them self's to particular human beings and purely some human beings can see them. many human beings have self belief that ghosts are actually not genuine because of the fact they're the two one million. Terrified 2. have not experienced/observed a ghost 3. they think of its pathetic 4. Ridiculous There are movies approximately ghosts yet greater often than not faked and a few are genuine. you will locate ghost greater often than not in haunted places. yet ghosts cant extremely injury you. in case you prefer to comprehend greater visit distinctive places or analyze warning: do no longer analyze on creepy issues at night time, you will get paranoid.. good success!

yes, I've had experience with many different kinds. good, troubled, children, and motherly figures. I used to live in the basement of an apartment building(which actually used to be a hospital) things were strange there. I'd see wierd things now and then, and one time I woke up with the feeling of hands around my throat (it was 10 am so I figured I might as well get up if they didn't want me to sleep). Every house my aunt moves into is haunted and they tend to move with families as well so I don't think she's going to move anymore since her collection has reached about 4 different spirits. The older additions to the family tend to be more quite than the new ones. The key to living with them is to not be afraid but protect yourself from harm. This could mean blessing your house and/or yourself and family and wearing protective amulets(usually religious). Most are not harmful though but just in case.

My husband and I live in the old family home. We have on three seperate occassions witnessed something. Spirits or ghostly images? I am unsure. Once I was coming out of the bathroom and saw a naked very white man go whizzing by. didn't really scare me just surprised me. I described him for my husband and he thought it might be his great grandfather. One day around christmas I was walking through the dining room and something came whizzing by my head from the direction of the living room where our xmas tree was. At the time I was mad at my husband and saying a few choice words about him. It definitely scared me and when I went to see what it was it was a christmas tree ornament from the living room.... needless to say I don't talk that way about my husband out loud anymore... Lastly My husband was very close to his dad who passed away very suddenly about 7 years ago. He swears to me that he saw his dad and his dad talked to him...Now I don't know about that one becuz I wasn't there. but I do know first hand about the other two.
I believe certain people have a gift of seeing spirits. I do believe in spirits or ghost.

Ghosts are simply beings without bodies. We have all been without bodies at some time or another. Generally they are harmless since they cannot really affect much in the physical universe without a body to use, but they can still scare you if you don't understand what they are.

No, ghosts do not exist.
Spirits do on the other hand.
Its now the 7th month festival that the Chinese believe that the spirits break free from Hell!

Ghosts do NOT exist. You do not have the ability to survive death. The Bible says Do not talk to the dead for they can not hear you.
