Does any one believe in ghosts?

Answer 1

Yes, people believe in ghosts. However, what many people think of as proof that ghosts exists is merely something they've experienced but can't explain in any other way than saying that it was a ghost.

People who are unable to sleep for several days because of an illness, for example, might hallucinate and "see" dead relatives while he is still awake. A person who didn't know it was the brain taking time out to "dream" while awake might believe that his dead relatives came back to comfort him in his illness.

Photographs of ghosts (orbs, etc.) are little more than way-out-of-focus specks of dust or other airborne particles too close to the flash and lens of the camera.

Still other photographs are merely misuse of the camera. A shaky hand can cause blurs. A person who doesn't know how to properly use the "night portait" setting on a camera might see "energy" from distant lights.

When people visit a "haunted house" they've usually been told what "ghost" is there and where. That biases the visitor--even subconciously--and the visitor will then "feel" something.

John Edward and other "psychics" who claim to talk to the dead are only skilled in an art called "Cold Reading". A major factor in a successful "Cold Reading" is the psychic tossing out very vague references ("I'm seeing water.") and the person being "read" only remembering the "hits"--the vague references the psychic got right--and forgetting the "misses".

There is always an explaination to a "ghostly experience". It's just that the person who experienced it may not know what it is other than to believe it was a ghost.

Answer 2

I'm not sure..... I saw a ghost when I was younger but I wonder whether it was a figment of a child's imagination or real. When I was young, I never had imaginary friends and was not even scared of 'monsters' because I didn't really believe in them. So whether the ghost was imaginary or not, I really don't know. To this day though, the memory of it is still very real.

Yesi do. When I was a baby my mother saw her terminally ill father come to see me in my crib, minutes later she got the call that he had died, and she told them that she knew he died since she had already seen him. After looking at me he turned and vanished.
