Answer 1

Awesome question.

Ya know... I used to be a skeptic, until last year... I always loved ghost stories, and I enjoyed the thrill of scaring myself silly... then one morning, I saw something that really DID scare me. I woke up, and found a half-faded figure standing in front of the door - leaning over the heater (it was winter). I scared myself so bad... I had breathing problems all day and experienced chest pains. It was a long time before I told anyone about what I saw...

Anyway, so what are they? Ghosts... well, ghosts ARE something science has trouble explaining scientifically because they.... well... defy some of the physical laws of science. Because people can't EXPLAIN them that way, we tend to fear it. That's reasonable. It's okay to be afraid of something we don't really KNOW or understand.

Next question, WHY do only some people see it all the time? Well, apparently some people are more sensitive to ghosts (or other supernatural things) than most. Take for example; little kids ARE more sensitive to ghosts than adults. No one REALLY knows WHY, but let's assume they've got something adults don't... or maybe, everyone DOES have it - but as you grow older - it either weakens or goes away? You might also find this interesting: Animals are A LOT more sensitive to ghosts than humans are. In some experiments or tales of hauntings - people who have kept pets have noticed and/or reported their animals behaving wildly or aggressively towards 'empty' spots in the house, farm, building... etc. Sometimes animals act scared instead of being aggressive. I read in a book some time ago that in an experiment done in a haunted house: a dog, cat, rat and rattlesnake were all brought into the house. One by one, they were put into the room - and they all reacted to the same spot in the house... an empty chair in a particular room. Now, what was interesting was ... the dog barked at the chair aggressively before running out and refusing to enter the room again, the cat hissed and raised its fur , the snake reared up and attempted to attack the chair and the rat ... I can't remember what the rat did... but they all detected the 'ghost' in the house...

Moving on, WHY are ghosts more 'believed' in, in other countries? I guess - in those 'other' countries - people are more in touch with 'religion' and are more in touch with that 'paranormal' side of life...? They've believed in it for years, so when scientists try and change their belief with 'facts' or 'new' stuff, they find it hard to accept - often telling them that they're wrong... *shrugs* It depends for different countries, but in the end - we all have our own belief's right?

Answer 2

I too have been lucky enough to see a ghost. Let's put it this way, I've seen an apparition. I even had one occurance where my chair was moved while I was sitting in it. It was shocking and then exciting and no harm was done. This occured in my home and we've since learned that 4 cemeteries were located within a 1 mile radias of our home. I strongly believe that some people are more open minded and thus it allows them to be able to experience paranormal activity. I've told our group many times that if you go into a setting with a negative attitude that they will seldom experience any type of paranormal activity but if you enter with a positive attitude it allows you the possiblity of an awesome experience. As for the less developed countries believing in ghosts and spirits, I feel that this is due to the fact that they accept things for what they are while most educated people have a tendancy to try to find a reason in a book for such activity instead of trusting their instincts and their eyes. While researching in books can be a good thing since all strange occuances aren't paranormal it can also cause a person to look overlook what is real.

Answer 3

Not only do I believe in ghosts and spirits, I encounter things like them almost daily now. Only a few years ago I began to get into the area of metaphysics and spirituality, and sincce then I am discovering more and more that the things existing in the world are so many in number and so vastly varied that most of it just goes right by us andn two people hardly ever see the same thing. That would account for the immense variety of creatures I run across. Once as I was trying to sleep, I left my room too full of energy and it attracted various entities. Some looked like formless blobs of energy just kind of swoopiing around. one looked sort of like a crab. Then there are angel-type thigns and some things that are more like what you would call demons, but the stereotyopes associated with those two often make for trouble in dealing with them properly. Every now and then some unidentified thing randomly turns up, often stopping to ask for directions. There's so much variety, but things like these do exist. As for why some people see them and some don;t, I don't know. It takes a certaiin kind of seeing. Fewer people than you would think can see them with their own eyes. A lot of times it seems like that, but it's something else entirely... as though from a different sense.

Answer 4

As a former non believer I would say that yes, they do exist. I had an scary experience once, basically it was like someone whispered into my ear, just three words, that caused me to avoid a situation that ended up going pretty badly for those who were involved.

In WWII my gran was on a train heading to Dresden, Germany, about 10 minutes before it got hydrogen bombed she heard a voice say "get off" whisper in her ear, she had to leave everything she owned behind because there was no time to unload it, but she got off and ten minutes later everyone on the train was dead.

So yes, as a logical intelligent person I can say that there is more to this reality than we are aware of, and if you believe that this world is all we see then you might as well join the other ostriches with their heads in the sand because when you die you will find out for yourself. Until then it doesn't hurt to keep an open mind.

Answer 5

I do believe that spirits, ghosts, orbs, etc. exist. When someone passes away I believe the soul leaves the body and in essesnce the our souls are who we are. You're soul is pure energy. Some people are more open, more accepting so therefore they are more apt to experience something like this. If someone's energy is strong enough and they have a desire to contact someone then who would they go to but someone that is sensative enough to recognize they're there. Myself, I actually have EVP's from my old home. Very clearly you can hear voices of people not in the house. These were all recorded when I had alot of paranormal activity going on centered around my daughter. People are free to say whatever they like about this subject but I know what we experienced and I know what we heard. Scared the heck outta everyone living there.

Answer 6

Yes I believe in ghost, spirits, and other things. My Dad, My youngest son, has seen them. My sister has seen orbs and I have seen shadow ghosts or beings if that's what you want to call them. For some reason some people are very sensitive to seeing these things. I really cannot answer all of your question because I am not an expert. I am just a ordinary person who has seen and experienced some things I cannot explain and I except them.

Answer 7

I do believe in ghosts, spirits, and other things. We probably can't see them because our minds are too complex. I saw another answer to this question that said children and animals can see them because their minds are not focused enough to not see them. Usually, an apparition that seems as though it doesn't like you, or it's angry or mad is considered a ghost. But most people think all apparitions are ghosts, because that's the only word they know. I am not too sure of the word for nice, or gentle and calmer apparitions, but they definitely exist because there are things that happen that we can't explain, like a picture falling off a wall, or a drawer flying out of a dresser.

Answer 8

I am a realist. I will believe they are real when they manifest in such a way as to pass a reasonable degree of scientific testing. I know people have seen all sorts of stuff. There's a homeless guy outside my office right now that regularly sees aliens. Maybe he does. Maybe he's delusional. All I know is that until I can put one to the test, no ghosts, spirits, gods, or aliens. Incidently, only the aliens have a scientific (the Drake Equation) quasi-proof. The rest of them are no more than tooth fairies and easter bunnies until they step forward.

Answer 9

I didn't before I moved into an apartment several years ago, I thought that people who did were crazy lunatics, but weird stuff started happening. First, I would hear foot steps in the hallway(Ishrugged it off thinking it was just the apt.) but then other things happened like the lady downstairs got slapped on the butt while I was there, another woman was violated while taking a shower(she's still trynig to find an explenation) butt imprints on furniture, jewlry being thrown, missing objects, finding silverware that no one i knew owned in the sink, ect, and the scariest is seeing it in the bathroom, I moved out that day.

Answer 10

Some people just dont. I think that some people just think of a logical explanation in their head and they dont see it as paranormal. They arent open to it. Like every time I'm mad or upset over something weird things seem to happen to me. Like the computer acts up or something breaks or just doesnt want to work. My friend says that it bad energy. I just think that I have bad luck. Others would think that I have a ghost that is haunting me. Who knows? Some people are just more opened to the experience and some are not.
