How many of you believe in ghosts?

Question

if you do tells us the "story" if you dont explain why

Answer 1

I BELIEVE IN SPIRITS CROSSING OVER TO US FROM TIME TO TIME, WHY? BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THEM TOO MANY TIMES WHEN YOUNGER

Answer 2

No I never have. However there was a story about a pub in England where the sounds of billiards could be heard even when no one was playing. Anyway they did research on the place and apparently the walls which were made of stone had some kind of recording properties. I'll have to see if I can find it on line so I can post a link. Anyway what if ghosts are just some kind of natural recording that gets played back when conditions are right?

Answer 3

Yes, lived in a haunted house and saw many incidents. Plus there just was a story on the news this last week of a Canadian train crew that thought they ran over a man they saw sitting on the railroad tracks. They stopped the train to search for him, couldn't find any trace of the body. Only later did some research show a man had committed suicide that very way over 50 years ago in the same spot.

Answer 4

I believe in the Holy Ghost.

Well I was desparate. I was stuck in a spell for a year. I couldn't sleep or wake up. I was in a trance. I saw visions, heard voices, & physically felt confusing things (twitches, pride feelings, evil feelings, pains in my heart or body, euphoria, etc...).

So, I tried to find God to help me, since no one believed me or could help me if they tried. At the end of this one yr breakdown, I was brought to a Church. The first time I went forward, I was desparate & said stupid stuff, the Pastor prayed & the witch spirit left for good. The 2nd time I went forward, I recommitted to God. The 3rd time the Pastor prayed for me & the Power of the Holy Ghost fell on me & overcame me, where my hands reached straight up to heaven & I praised God in tongues for a long time. Went home & tossed a book out (Mormon) then read a verse from another book that the anointing I received was the Spirit of Truth who will lead me into all truth... So? Then I slept for the 1st time in a year, soundly & then every night since then (for the most part) soundly.

This is my 'story'. I believe in the Holy Ghost.

Answer 5

This should go in the Science & Math > Alternative section.

I don't believe in ghosts for the same reason I don't believe in anything else supernatural. Naturally there is no evidence. In addition there are plenty of instances where people have been caught hoaxing.

Answer 6

Well if you spent a few months in a house where alarms went off for no reason, televisions went on in the morning or even at night - again for no reason, with no one turning them on, having the doors securely locked (well there was a jehova's witness living in the building...) and both lying in bed, things disappearing, tearing the whole place down, only to find it somewhere neither of us has ever been, fire alarms with no fire, a talking lift that liked to say "13th floor" even though there only were 3 floors (and we both heard it!!!) and many more events where that came from...

You would start to think differently about ghosts.

**edit**

Or leprechauns, for that matter.

Answer 7

Its my belief that spirits never die, only the physical does. So there is a spirit world out there and just cause we all can't see it or be in touch with it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We never die, we just transform.

I had a butterfly follow me 7 blocks one time and chilled on my shoulder for like a minute. It was weird. Funny thing, I was thinking a lot about my dad that morning (he is deceased) and really missing him. He knows I love butterflies and I think that was just his way of telling me he is always with me and not to worry so much. Some may dismiss it as oh well the butterfly just wanted to follow you for 7 blocks, but if they knew anything about butterflies, they don't do stuff like that really, they usually fly away. So as a spiritual person who thinks critically, I don't just take stuff at face value and quickly dismiss it, cause if I did, I may miss the message the Universe (God) is trying to send me. So I'm always alert and aware:)

Answer 8

Yes, I do in a way... Well, my aunt was telling me about a house our family used to live in...and she was sleeping in her room and she opened her eyes for some reason, and saw a woman in front of the dresser combing her hair. She was scared to death. lol. I've always believed in ghosts...its kind of mystical. What's funny about that story, is that years later, my aunt found out that the house we all lived in was built in place of a hospice.

Answer 9

I don't believe in ghosts, but I believe in spirits that are here on the earth that are with us. I know it sounds the same, but you dont know they're there.

Answer 10

I don't because the soul/spirit will be much too busy during the trial of the grave to haunt anything or anyone. The Jinn moves around and might perpetrate the "familiar" role, but Allah (SWT) knows best.

Answer 11

I believe.

I had my named called to me from an empty room in my house. I was living alone at that time. When I went to investigate, I was called again from seemingly thin air. I then felt a chill roll down the left side of my face as I heard my named whispered into my left ear. I nearly sh!t my pants as I left the room with great haste. I have never had it happen again though.....
