It's a tough question. If you're the only one who can see the ghost, maybe the ghost is in your head (altering your perception) rather than outside in the phsyical world. If it is the case that the ghost is only in your head, maybe the ghost could be a living person--or not a person at all.
I do think there are strange phenomena, but it seems more likely that the individual's mind is involved--if not entirely responsible. Maybe electromagnetic fields can become imprinted with "thought" data or emotional energies. Maybe something like feng shui (arrangement of objects) is responsible for creating "mental" illusions, much like optical illusions. For example, I often see a black cat by the stairs, but I don't suspect a ghost cat; I think it's just a strange illusion that "suggests" the appearance of a cat, and then my brain fills in the blanks for just a split-second before I realize that nothing looking remotely like a cat is there...but the MEMORY of seeing a cat remains, and so I get this weird "ghost" image.
Also, combining these concepts (internal ghosts, imprinting, and illusions), you can come up with all kinds of other phenomena. For example, I was hungover all the time a couple of years ago--and I get nervous when I'm hungover--so I would freak out every time I got into my car. I'd feel like I was going to lose control and just swerve into oncoming traffic. Then I started "sensing" things behind me, like someone was hiding there ready to cut my throat. This went on for several weeks before I sobered up, and continued for several weeks after. I had conditioned myself to expect these feelings and to become suggestable to the point that I'd "see" things in the shadows. In my mind at the time, though, I felt certain that my car was haunted by a vengeful spirit.
I think this weird interplay of imagination and physiology happens more often than people realize. Just getting prepped for a "spooky" experience can trigger spooky illusions. Or you may completely lose your mind and go through this kind of thing during every waking hour instead of just the occassional chill down your spine.

I do not believe in Ghosts. I do believe there are demons - AND - I do believe that there are alternate parallel Earths that from place to place conditions are just right for any two of them to kind of bleed together somewhat, allowing us to see and or hear what some people believe to be ghosts.
I have had experiences with demons - non good, I assure you - but never with so called Ghosts.
Malicious activity is always caused by demons.

Yes i do, and those that say that they are fake, try staying the night in my Grandma's house, she has, two now, very active ghosts. One that is called "The Green Ghost" and then there is Henry. There was a few others, but when she got rid of some beds she had, they left with them.

I do, because of the fact my great Grandma used to tell me memories approximately issues that had got here approximately to her. i know she's actually no longer the kind of individual to make up memories, or to misinform me or tell any sort of jokes in any respect. She advised me as quickly as that as quickly as her daughter (my mom's mom) died, all of the drawers and doorways and cabinets interior the domicile went loopy and slammed and flapped around because of the fact the ghost replaced into trapped interior the domicile, and so she had to allow my gran's ghost out of an open window until now each little thing calmed down. this is the story I undergo in concepts maximum, yet there are extra.

Nnoo. Ghosts can be explained away just like John Edwards and all those psychic frauds. Believe in the facts and ignore the BS Montel sells you.

That depends on what you mean by 'ghosts'?
If you mean the departed souls of humans, certainly NOT. That would mean that humans have immortality, which they do not have (according to the Bible).
The Bible does say that Lucifer and one third of the heavenly angels (those who were disobedient to God) were cast out of heaven to Earth. They masquerade as the 'souls' of dead people.

I believe in God. I also believe in angels and demons as well as Satan. Any or all of these could be the cause of "strange" events. 99% of the time however, there is a very logical and scientific explanation of the events that happened to you.

Yes, I believe in them. I've had a lot of weird experiences and I'm the only one in my family to have had any.

I do not believe in ghosts but that is only because I have never encountered one.

I haven't ever had anything strange happen to me but I do believe in things I can't see and so do majority of other people.
