You agree that paranoia creates delusion so why if you're paranoid about ghosts and you see/feel one, it's not a delusion? Most of the time we just see what we expect to see and if you walk into an abandoned mental institution that's supposedly haunted, how can you not be paranoid? There are all sorts of probability errors.

I believe in ghosts. When I fart I can't see it but I can smell it, thus proving the paranormal does exist.

There are no such things as 'ghosts'
Most people think that ghosts are a spiritual part of people that survives death and can become earthbound and haunt houses.
But this is NOT what the Bible says;
(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.
So what do people SEE?
They see demons, who have the ability to LOOK like people. Even people we are familiar with, and who we KNOW have died.
Are there demons?
Jesus confirms this when he drove the demons out of the man and into the pigs.
Matthew 8; 28-34

Sure I do. I haven't seen any, but that doesn't mean they're not there (kinda like believing in a supreme being).
No doubt some -- maybe even most -- that people see are some sort of delusion, but I'm not party to believe that ALL of them are.
Why? I dunno. Maybe because I like the idea of something unknown out there.

I don't see why it's so hard to believe that other life exists - besides that which we can see immediately before our face at this paticular moment.
Do you believe that the other side of the world exists although you are not able to "see" it right now?

Yes, I do. When a person dies, their spirit may not be reconciled to death. It cannot move on until it has completed any "unfinished business" and/or accepted its death. Hence, "ghosts."
