I do believe in ghosts and I believe they can be good or evil just as living beings can. Just because we can't always see them does not mean they are not there.

I do believe in ghosts and have experienced them myself, growing up in a house with many present.

I don't really believe in them but I would like to. I don't want to be haunted or sacred to death or anything but I would like to know they exist if in fact they do. I have heard plenty of ghost stories from family members they claim are true but have never had any actual experiences with them myself.

Growing up I never really believed in ghosts until I had some strange things happen to me in one of my mom's houses. Then the son of the lady that used to own the house before my mom bought it came and knocked on the door one day saying that his mother died in the house and she had money burried into the walls.

Absolutely, I believe in ghosts. I lived in a house that was haunted by a benevolent spirit. I think he was watching over us because he never drew close, always stayed far enough away to remain a shadow. But let me tell you about this one time I saw the "shadow man" as my family called him.

I was walking home from the bus stop, book in my hand, eyes glued to the pages when I took a break between chapters to look up. The shadow was there, right in front of our mailbox. He didn't have eyes but it felt like he was staring right through me. It freaked me out so much that I averted my eyes back to my book- just to have something else to stare at.

The words of my book were no longer in English. I kid you not. No idea to this day what the language was, and even thinking about it still gives me chills everywhere. To make sure I wasn't losing it, I stared at the pages for a solid minute, flipping through them. When I looked back up the apparition was gone. Like he had never been, and my book was back to it's original state.

There's this one podcast I listen too frequently called 'Astonishing Legends'. One of the things they talk about is how there's a set of 'rules' entities like ghosts have to follow when interacting with our world. Granted it's just a theory, but basically they go on to say ghosts can't physically harm people for whatever reason.

I honestly believe there's supernatural phenomena out there. I've seen and experienced a few things that shouldn't be possible based on what we know now, but it's a heavy possibility. The only downside to believing in the paranormal is it makes me a little paranoid. For example, I don't like the thought that something paranormal can interact with me in my dreams and give me nightmares. >.<

I do believe in ghosts. I have had a few incidences, that I can not prove was paranormal, but for me it felt like it. I think there are evil entities and positive spirits that just have not crossed over. My fiancé does not believe and when I feel off or think maybe something not from this world is present, he just laughs.. Lol. I'm definitely hooked on the ghost adventures show!

How can you not believe in ghosts! The soul is made of energy how can all that energy just disappear at death!? I have had crazy things happen in my life that can only be explained by the paranormal. Once I was 8 and a knife flew out of the sink and stuck an inch into the wall! That same year I saw what can best be described as a white puff float from the bathroom door into the shower and into the wall. This house had tons of things and sightings happen.

I believe in the Holy Spirit as a facet of God. I believe in His angels. If there are other spirits I believe they are deceptive.

When I was growing up, I asked my parents if ghosts are real. Their reply to my question was always no and not to be scared of silly children stories. As I have grown and have lost loved ones along the way, ghosts or spirts are no longer story tales. I do believe our loved ones are with us when we need them and watch over us along the way. Although, when it comes to theory of spirits effecting the human world, I do not believe in that.

I'm gonna have to go with yes. I was just told tonight that a coworker's grandpa told her, the night before he passed, that he visited with her great uncle who had been dead for over 40 years. He told them he would be seeing him again soon, and he passed the next day.

I also have heard and seen some pretty strange things at our Target when I worked there. After hours, some of the toys in the toy aisle would start making noise, you would hear the sound of feet running on the floors, and we almost always heard child voices on our walkie talkies, no matter what channel we were on.

I've also heard about the security at the local college here seeing some pretty freaky things on the security monitors, but only after about midnight. The screens would go staticky, they would see glowing or a floating across campus, they would see figures that weren't actually there. All kinds of scary stuff.

I believe that we are a spirit wraped in a body, but I dont believe in Ghosts. As strange as it might sound, they might exist, but I don't believe in them. Hope you understood me :)
