Answer 2

yes i do, here is my story

when i was 14 me and my mate at the time were walking through the park at about 10,20pm when we saw a light coming from the tennis courts we were walking that way anyway so we carried on down the path , as we came nearer the light we saw a set of steps coming through the ground and an old lady walking very slowly up the steps in her nightie, me and my mate were frozen for about 30 seconds watching this, as you can imigane we did a runner back the way we came from there, both of us saw it, both of us still can see it today , we have never changed a word of the story, some 10 years after what we saw, (only our closest friends knew about it )the local paper asked for witnesses as there had been hundreds of sightings in the exact same spot as ours of exactley the same thing, the old woman climbing the stairs, it appears there was a house there once and the woman died after falling down them stairs, and it still creeps me out to this day despite the fact i am now a grown man, i know non of my friends will never really beleive me , but maybe they would if they saw it themselves.

i know sceptics will probably have a good reason , howevere us humans only use 10% of our brain , what could happen is we used the other 90%, there is a damn lot we still dont know even right now, maybe for that 1 minute my mind was open to another 1% and what i saw was something from that 1%, doubt i will ever know in my lifetime now

Answer 3

Yes! I believe and have seen them in the day and the night!! Wether there is life after death or it is a magnetic imprinting of ones life I do not know! But i saw my grandma plain as day in a brand new apartment building, years after her death, so magnetic imprinting doesn't apply to me! Since I was the age of 5 I have memories of ghosts and unexplained experiences that still happen today! However the day time apparitions have just started within the last year! What ever they are I consider myself lucky to have been chosen to see them. It used to scare me, but now I kinda chuckle whenI see them, and give them a polite hello!

Answer 4

I'm still undecided on the whole thing but I'd say that there's more acceptance and understanding of belief in ghosts now than ever. TV shows, weekly magazines and I'd say at least half the people I know (including my wife) have no problem with admitting that they believe in ghosts.

Answer 5

I used to see ghosts as a kid, don't remember them now.
3 times I've seen an object fly across a room including a biscuit tin that flew off the fridge as if something had thrown it at my head.
There was a weird shadow that used to walk around the house I grew up in, everyone who saw it got really scared including grown men. While my family and I were living in this house something wierd would happen on a roughly weekly basis. We once heard what sounded like all the plates in the cuboards falling out and breaking on the floor. We were ******* shitting it. We went into the kitchen together but nothing was broken.
Seriously this house was fuckin scary. Once me and my brother were watching telly while my mum was having a nap. We both saw my mums legs go past us into the kitchen and heard her doing stuff in there, I called out something to her and there was no answer. I got up to see why she hadn't answered and there was no one in the kitchen. We went to see where she was and she was in bed fast asleep.
I'm serious when I say we got about a hundred stories about that house and I'm getting so scared right now just thinking about them.

Answer 6

Ok, it can be funny to make jokes about ghost, spirit thing, but they are so real as me and you. They are just people who leave this material world to an ethereal one, which can be a good or a bad place according to your actions here on Earth. Of course, no one will be "punished" just because loves sex or chocolate... It depends exclusively on what emotions you carry inside of you.

Answer 7

I do. And so do so many other people, just watch A Haunting on the Discovery Channel, or Most Haunted on the Travel Channel on Friday nights.

If people didn't believe...these shows wouldn't be on the air. :d

Answer 8

Personally, yes, I do believe in ghosts. In fact, I believe I've had experiences with them before. Call me crazy, thats nice. But really, yes. I mean, even if you can't see or touch them, its not like you can see or touch God either, and loads of people still believe in him(/her), so what's the difference?

Answer 9

Most of the people I know,watch horror shows on TV for fun.People who've had ghost experiences,believe in ghosts.But sometimes people misunderstand something perfectly normal as a ghost experience.Very few people believe in ghosts in 21st century

Answer 10

The heck with ghosts! How can you not believe in Tom&Jerry!!! LOL.
