Are Ghosts Real? PLEASE ANSWER!?

Answer 1

From my book:

Before we cover how to talk with Spirits Ghost and Demons let’s take a quick look at what they are first. Ghost, Spirit or Apparition?

What is the difference? Is there a difference?

Well, let me share with you my opinions from my own personalexperiences with Ghost, Spirits and Apparitions. I think that in a way they are all the same thing, meaning that at one point and time they all used to be a living being, human or animal, alive in the manner that you and I are.

I think that Ghost is the catchall phrase for those that have passed over. It is the term used more often when describing a place that is supposedly haunted. Ghost are sometimes thought of as lost souls this is not always so.

Spirit is a more popular term among Pagans and such. It just
seems nicer, more friendly then ghost right? But are they one and the same thing and what about an apparition, are the all the same or different?

Well an apparition is most often thought of as a sighting of a ghost or spirit. No ghost are not all floaty and white, some look very solid, and real. Matter of fact I believe that some spirits and ghost walk among us in a manner that is so connected with our physical plane that we do not even relies they are dead. You know kind of like the movie the Sixth Sense where the little boy sees dead people. I think
that some ghost or spirits have the ability to be in a crowd with us and we do not even know that they are not dead, well, dead is not a good term. Cause when we die, only our body changes, the spirit or soul, or ghost is still there not dead, just different.

So Ghost are not all floaty and white, and we can most often see apparitions so what is the difference? Personally I think it is a psychological difference to each individual.

If you think of coming face to face with a ghost, what does it
bring to mind? It is scary, like Ghost Busters or something right? If you are contacted by a spirit what does that make you think of? It makes me think of a soul in need that has found a way to contact me from beyond, not so scary a term. And if you turn and you see an apparition, what does that bring to mind? It makes me think of actually seeing a faded, floaty figure, kind of spooky. These are just psychological thoughts and views. I think in a real way that a Ghost,
Spirit and an Apparition are actually all one and the same thing.

Poltergeists
Oh yeah, lets not forget Poltergeists. Poltergeist are simply
active, noisy or loud ghost, or spirits. You know like the water
coming on all by itself, or the lights flickering, or those pictures that you keep putting on the mantel the ones that keep winding up on the floor every single time you put them up there and leave the room? Or the creaking and thumping noises, this is most often Poltergeist activity. Most often a spirit or ghost’s only manner in letting those that can not communicate with them know that they are tying to get
their attention is by moving things and making noises and generally being annoying or scary. They do this for several reasons, one, they could be displeased to be sharing space, their space with you. Two they could just want to let you know they are there. Three, they are pissed that you are there and well, actually there could be dozens other reasons for poltergeist activity.

One wired thing about poltergeist activity is that it is believed that not all poltergeist activity is caused by spirits or ghost whatever you want to call them. It is believed that some poltergeist activity is actually caused by a living and breathing human, from their personal energy. This energy is also known as psychokinetic energy. It seems to be a product of the mind and subconscious thoughts, yep - of
someone that is still alive. Seems this is most often in a highly
emotionally charged atmosphere, such as death, or divorce or a longterm relationship ending.

Anyway I think that a ghost, spirit, and an apparition are all one and the same thing, no one has proven to me yet that they are not the same things, so I guess until I learn differently that is what I will continue to believe. Even a poltergeist can be the same. We live and learn. We learn that all things change.

Have you ever had a ghostly experience?
We have all been around ghost, and had some experience with them, most folks just don’t think twice about it. Here are some ways to know if you have been exposed to a ghost or spirit or poltergeist.

􀂙 Have you ever been in a room and experienced cold spots, or patches? I mean, you are in one area of a room or house and the temperature is a comfortable seventy degrees and then you stepped into another section of that same room to discover the temperature is different by many degrees, colder. This is one manner of being able to tell if a ghost or spirit is in the area.

Only thing is I have discovered hot spots as well, most folks
only talk about the cold spots but there seems to be hot spots
too.

􀂙 Have you had problems with the plumbing? Water coming on or off for no reason? Or how about the electricity or electrical appliances? Yet you know that your pipes and wires are fine.

􀂙 Have you felt or experienced a breeze where there should be no major air movement?

􀂙 Or have you smelled a perfume, or cologne or flowers in the
are that you know should not be there?

􀂙 Have you heard footsteps, or doors opening and closing?

􀂙 Have you ever felt like you were being pushed on or pinched? When no one was around?

􀂙 If you have pets, does your cat or dog ever sit and stair in at a certain space or bark at a certain area? Cat’s and dog’s both are very in tune with the other side. As are small babies, have you ever watched the eyes of an infant?

􀂙 Have you ever felt like you were being watched, really being watched but there was no one there?

􀂙 Have you gotten the cold chills when the temperature was
actually comfortable?

There are many times that we have been around ghost or spirits that we could have taken note of and did not. I mean really they are every where we are. Some spirits can easily pass back and forth between the astral planes, and then there are some spirits or ghost that are kind of stuck. There are some that are tied to a place by a person or an object often because of strong emotional ties. But there are
ghost, and plenty of them.

Are they real? My simple answer is yes:)

Answer 2

First let me suggest the Yahoo Answers: Science & Mathematics: Alternative: parapsychology/paranormal phenomena for this question and all questions about ghosts, UFO's, ESP, and other such subjects.

This greatly depends on your defintions of both ghost and exist. Parapsychologist (and before them psychical researchers) stopped using the term ghost because of it's multiple meanings. The term used most in their research was apparition which they defined as "seeing an image of a person deceased or alive that you knew could not be physically present at the location where you were currently"
Moving on to existence. Do ghost exist as experiences, I would say yes. Are experiences real, I would say yes.
Does this mean that ghost exist as objects you can reach out and touch, I would say no. You also can't touch being in love or anger but they are real in the human experience.
There are many types of evidence and science today has retreated to the lab because of their inability to study human experience in its natural environment. Is there lab evidence for the exitsence of ghost? Yes and no, the Philip Experiment demonstrated that PK (Pyschokinesis) could be one reason why people experience ghost (even though the people are creating it themselves). Studies with electro magnets cause people to feel as if others are in the room with them when no is present, so lab evidence can show some of the experience of a ghost. Stories (anecdotal evidence) are often dismissed because they can't replicated in a lab but it is a form of evidence still accepted in courts of law (and medicine when you decribe your situation to your doctor).
So, yes ghost exist in human experience (25% of grieving people see their deceased loved ones).
If the soul or consciousness survives in the form of ghosts is another question and one that remains unanswered.
I suggest reading "Human Personality and it's Survival of Bodily Death" by FWH Myers published in 1901 and sadly probably still the best book on the subject.

Being astronomically low in numbers international huge, those studies are uncommon and a few what unusual. A Spirit that materializes right into a seen style is classed as a Ghost. Ghost basically ability a picture that particularly isn't considered in a actual style. In concept basically the Spirit attracts the moisture vapors, gaseous vapors and debris interior the encompass environment equivalent to a magnet as a manner to return into sight. specific situations interior the encircling area might desire to exist in the previous this might ensue and definite, They do exist and below maximum circumstances they have not got or very own the capability it takes to harm a human. Shadow human beings and Figures are additionally a Ghost style in a distinctive state and project than the Ghost itself and there is not any information that they are people who're evil. maximum are frequently watchers and observers of people. purple sparkling eyes is assumed as them being evil or demonic.
