Are ghosts fact or a figure of the imagination?

Answer 1

It was a few years back & I was walking alone in some woods to school. It was raining & real dark & I kinda lost my way, though I take that path twice a day for 3 years.

Then I asked God to help me, suddenly, I saw this man walking infront of me quite a distance away from me but close enough for me to follow. He was tall, dressed all in white & girl did he walk fast, I tried to run to catch up to him but the faster I went, the faster he quickened his pace. Guess what, he led me right out of the woods. When I climbed the ladder, I just cauldn't see him anywhere. He simply dissapeared. I was facinated, happy, grateful yet mistified@ what happened- up to this day, I believe God sent me an angel to lead me the way that day.

To answer your question, anything is possible " ghosts though I never saw one, are restless souls seeking for peace" Fact.

Answer 2

I like the idea of ghosts and the like, have done since I was a kid. I want to believe that they're real, but to do so, I'd need to experience one personally ("see" seems too straightforward a word to use here).

I've seen/heard a few things that could be contrived as ghosts, but with no tangible evidence, can't prove one way or another.

There's an old saying - there's no smoke without fire - so the concept of spooks and spectres must have some basis in history.

On the other hand, there has been countless hours, days and even years of scientific and spiritual research and investigation done into the subject, again with no definitive answer.

To sum up then, whilst there is no known, accredited and published evidence to say that ghosts DO exist, there is also no evidence to say that they don't (my point being that if something else that is a constant can be attributed to the perceived presence of a ghost, we would have evidence to say for certain that they don't).

All of which has led me to consider this - if we could prove that ghosts did not, nor ever could exist, would people stop believing in them - conversely, if their existence could be proven, would we all see many more of them?

Answer 3

it all depends on what you believe if your a witch then you would believe that they are fact but as for me i think that it something someone started to get people to come and see his house to make money have you watched most haunted they always say there is a ghost when the camera is facing the other way or something pushed pasted them or pushed some thing over i watched one the other day when this lady said something touched her on the leg just as the camera turned a man stood up from were she was meant to be touched by the ghost well in my world they are a figure of are imagination

Answer 4

Ok this is fact:
First on I saw aged 19 with my then girlfriend she saw it too and I will never forget the look on her face. Basically a shadow and when I put the cars headlights on to see who was creaping about they shone through it. the figure was still there but the light went through it. Needless to say we both spazed out.
Second time was just a feeling someone was there, which was confirmed by my now girlfriend as she fought for breath feeling she was being strangled at 4 in the morning. This was also confirmed by the Pub owner in which we were staying at breakfast when he asked in front of my kids did we see the GHOSTS?(one of which strangles women).

My point being two independent people cant Imagine the same thing!

Answer 5

I believe in someone's energy getting stuck on earth before going to their next level after they die, so I do think there are ghosts.
I also know, first hand, that I can imagine stuff that can scare the hell out of me. If I can do that, I'm sure everyone can. Just think about sitting around telling ghost stories when you were a child and how scared everyone got. It's fun but if you let it get out of hand paranoia can start creeping in.

Answer 6

Well, first of all I believe in a higher power, "God." By me believing in him I would have to believe in the "Trinity", The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. God also said that he would send us a confidant. Who are what would that be but the Holy Spirit. So if it was so then why not still today? I myself have seen a many spirits every sense I was about 5 years old. I would see people before they die. The next day sure enough whomever it was would die. It's scary, but for me it's true. I think that was a very good topic you chose. After all the feedback I would like to know your final thoughts on this subject.

Answer 7

From my personal experience, I KNOW ghosts exist. Certainly, there is a lot of bogus information out there, and I'm sure there are people who say they've seen something and it's all hype, or just a figment of the imagination.

I suggest you do some research for yourself, though.
I suggest the following sites...keep an open mind!

Answer 8

The only "ghosts" I've seen are in movies, video games and on older TVs, before cable was invented.
Back in those days, if the station wasn't tuned in correctly (there was usually a dial to do this), you could see multiple images of whatever was on the screen. The slang term for that was ghost.
But I have not seen a humanlike image seemingly disembodied from its old host.

Answer 9

There are actually many different types of entities: ghosts, poltergiests, demons, angels.
Weather you believe in them or not is up to you. But there is a good site to learn all about ghosts, and mythilogical creatures.
www.theshadowlands.net.
It really is an awesome site.

Answer 10

Personally I think ghosts exist but I also believe that your mind can play scare tactics on you, too much imagination and all that.
