Absolutely. Especially if you are concerned about why they hold such beliefs, or curious about how such beliefs influence their everyday life, behavior, thinking, and if it reflects upon some sort of psychological or socioeconomic problems.
Sorry...I am a psychology major to the very bone...

Drivn, you said it best:
Blessed is the man that does not walk with those of an ungodly counsel. Or stands around where unrepentant sinners stand, nor desire the seat of scornful people. In other words, corrupt conversation corrupts good understanding.
God's word is very clear about avoiding the mystical world.
Revelation 21:8
"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

I was in Panama city, Fl. I was living in a 2 bedroom house. One night I got ready for bed. I was not drinking and I was not doing drugs of anykind. When I laid down in bed I faced the wall. I decided I wasn't comfortable in that position so I turned over and there was a head floating by my bed of a old woman with blue hair. She was laughing in a evil way. I did not go back in that bedroom for 2 weeks and moved out soon afterwards. I do not know who or what she was or have I seen here since. It was about 20 years ago.

Sure. And you can still enjoy a good ghost story, too.
I don't believe in ghosts, and my absolute favorite thing to read are big old books of Victorian-era ghost stories.

Of course you can, I would only disagree with you if you began to mock them because of their belief in ghosts.

Its a fascinating subject. If it interests you but you dont necessarily believe, ask away.
No harm in learning a different point of view.

I don't 'believe' in most people's religions, but I enjoy talking to people about their beliefs.

I dunno. The whole ghosts / ESP / clairvoyance / UFO / telekinesis / vampire thing is very, very, very dull to me. However, from a purely psychological point of view, it might be interesting doing some scientific study of delusional thinking...

Which is why its totally ok by me for atheists to post on the R/S section.
