Do You Believe In Ghosts?
 
So do you believe in ghosts or the paranormal?
Hmm... I'm just going to post an interesting vid, feel free to post more. In fact, please do.


Be aware that this might be deemed "scary" for younger viewers and there is some relation to death etc. So view at your own discretion!


poopnoodle October 2nd, 2009 5:48 PM

Nope, I think it's a product of fantasy.

Lana. October 2nd, 2009 5:55 PM

Nah. Not really. When I was little, ghost stories scared the crap out of me, but now I just chuckle.

ÇyänïdëÉX October 2nd, 2009 6:02 PM

Hmm there has to be something super natural in this world. Some things just don't have an explanation, now whether its a ghost or not that's up for debate. I myself somewhat believe in ghosts but i don't believe that people "see" them or "sense" them, I think those people are a bunch of bs suckas.

Esper October 2nd, 2009 8:24 PM

Ghosts exist for people who want them to exist in the same way that cars are alive for people when they want to yell at them for not starting properly. That is, you have to want ghosts to exist, at least temporarily or under special circumstances, to believe they exist.

Me, I don't believe in ghosts, but I do yell at my computer occasionally.

Haza October 2nd, 2009 9:36 PM

Sometimes I feel like ghosts may be real but for the most part I think its imagination. I wont believe it until I experience it, until then I wont remain close minded but Im no fool.

Aeroblast. October 2nd, 2009 10:19 PM

Nope i dont in ghost
its propably just a theme for halloween..

Swift! October 2nd, 2009 10:51 PM

I believe in ghosts to an extent, but I have yet to define where I start/stop believing.

♣Gawain♣ October 2nd, 2009 11:34 PM

Yes. But not some hoax that are posted in Youtube or anything else.

Gunn October 3rd, 2009 12:13 AM

I can never answer this question with a simple yes or no, because I don't know. All the time I hear that people who are now believers were once non-believers until they had some sort of paranormal experience happen to them.

So yeah, I'm unsure. Doesn't mean that Ghost Adventures still isn't a great show. <3

Queen October 3rd, 2009 12:57 AM

Well, I'm to scared to view that video but, yes I do believe in ghosts.
I just think of them as friendly spirits wandering around earth.
But, I'm really scared of ghosts xD
If I ever see one, I'll be like.. paralyzed and too scared to run.

Pyrax October 3rd, 2009 2:16 AM

I believe in ghosts, too bad I've never seen one...

Code October 3rd, 2009 2:27 AM

I believe there are some supernatural forces on earth, that don't have or need explanations. whether they are ghosts, spirits or angels are hard to say...
:)

Tudj October 3rd, 2009 2:51 AM

I don't really, but special effects people go to far lengths to make people believe the paranormal could be a reality, but who are we kidding, if they are real, what could they do.

ShadowForce_G October 3rd, 2009 2:54 AM

No. If I believe, I won't sleep in my own bedroom, never. But, I love ghost type pokemon.

Percy Thrillington October 3rd, 2009 3:00 AM

I used to believe they existed when I was nine or ten. I remember my friend and I were very intruiged by the paranormal, and we wanted to write a book about it. We used to borrow loads of books from our local library to research everything about anything unusual. And back then, to my less-developed mind, it all made sense. It wasn't possible to persuade people into believing in ghosts, only yourself. And you do that by finding an actual ghost. Thinking back, that probably wouldn't be the best way to start the introduction, lol. 'Hello, I've spent a very long time working on this book filled with spelling and grammar errors, and before you dive into the 260+ pages, I want you to know that nothing within these pages can possibly prove ghosts exist.'

Nowadays, I'm more of a journalist. If something like the Loch Ness Monster or the haunting of Esther Cox is to be believed, it has to be scientifically proven. Don't bother showing me a video that could easily have been edited, a picture (that's not a ghost, that's dust!) and you should definitely not expect me to believe something just because you said it. I do still watch shows like A Haunting or Ghost Hunters from time to time though, they can be interesting (even though a lot of it is obviously faked).

Caelus October 3rd, 2009 11:07 AM

Not really, but that's because I haven't seen anything convincing enough for me to believe in them.

If such thing does occur then sure I'll believe in them.

The Darkest Gale October 3rd, 2009 11:21 AM

there is another thread of this but oh well anyway (not saying anything ^^)

but anyway unfortunetly yes =/ I hate that I do because that vid I have seen its so freaky >_< but yeah I do, probably because I'm in younger than half of pc =P

Captain Hobo. October 3rd, 2009 11:22 AM

No i do not believe in ghosts but i believe in God.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ October 3rd, 2009 11:42 AM

I don't believe in ghosts except for Mismagius, Gengar, Dusclops, and the like. I have yet to see real, indisputable proof of their existence, so I really can't believe in them. I'm not a big supernatural person either.

PikaPal October 3rd, 2009 11:43 AM

Oh yeah, big time. I have a thing for the paranormal, and I have seen plenty of ghosts to know they are definetly real.

Kotone October 3rd, 2009 7:40 PM

i kinda do.
not really though x]

Kishijoten October 4th, 2009 6:17 AM

I only believe in what I see. So no I don't believe this legend. Unless of course I'm wrong and they do exsist. No?.

derozio October 6th, 2009 6:14 AM

No. I really don't believe in these things. I have heard many stories, seen many videos, got to see some so called 'proofs', but I still don't believe in them. I just can't make myself to believe in them.
And I won't be believing the fact that ghosts exist till I see something paranormal with my own eyes. XD

(I used to get frightened in the dark earlier. But now, if I get frightened then its just coz there are many snakes and the like where I live and I am terribly scared of snakes! ssssssss.....)

Eliminator Jr. October 10th, 2009 3:31 AM

I do agree there are weird phenomena out there that could be explained by ghosts, but there is not enough evidence to support their existence. But on the other hand, there is not enough evidence to prove that they do not exist. So I'm on the fence with this one. I admit, I was terrified when visiting the old Port Arthur Prison in Tasmania on a school trip a few years back at night - the place just felt spooky, like something else was there with you. So whether that has anything to do with ghosts of past convicts I don't know. I'd prefer not to find out.

Firebird306 October 10th, 2009 4:36 PM

Althought ghosts contradict my atheist beliefs and lack of afterlife, I do believe there is some paranormal activity that cannot be explained. Whether that be ghosts or not we may never know.

Some of the stories are obviously fake but those legit ghost hunting shows really do creep you out sometimes. As a skeptic I do my best to explain some of the happenings (like reports of TVs being switched off automatically, howver the professional ghost hunters do their best to find legit reasons as well, such as that), but some things I just cannot explain (such as a female voice being audible over EVP when there were only males in the vicinity). <.<

My Mum has had a few personal experiences with them, I believe her stories but not sure if they're ghosts, 'lolalientricks' or etc. =/

Ayselipera October 10th, 2009 4:39 PM

Yes!

I had a very scary experiance once. So I'm a firm believer :)

mikey October 10th, 2009 5:57 PM

Honestly, I do believe in ghosts. I have never had an encounter, but I believe they could be around.

Citrinin October 10th, 2009 6:05 PM

As I've never had an encounter with a ghost, nor have I seen any compelling evidence to believe that there is such a thing, so no.

Crystal-Heart October 10th, 2009 6:20 PM

Yes I believe in ghosts, I seen a human-like manifestation before with my brother and step-brother before with my own eyes. I couldn't make out the face, but it seemed to be a girl based on the white dress-looking garment and long white white. She also seemed to be a child based on height.

Another time I saw what I thought was a trick of my eyes in the dark. In my room, which is in the basement where I keep a pillow in my window so that I won't be woke from rising sun, I saw a large green glob-light. Shortly after seeing it, my friend went "whoa! what was that?!" and when I asked "what was what?" he said "that green light!"

I believe that Ghosts are possible because souls are possible. What is a ghost other than a soul without a body.

Oh, and of course, one of my favorite show's is SyFy's Ghost Hunters. Here some clips from the best of their Halloween 2008 Live Special. Its so far some of the best that they've taped.

Snivi October 10th, 2009 9:25 PM

No but I do watch shows like "A Haunting"

PKFL_531 October 10th, 2009 9:45 PM

Hmm... Let's see what I believe in...

"I believe in morning sun, always gonna shine again and...
I believe in pot of gold, waits at every rainbows end...
I believe in skies forever blue, why shouldn't I believe the same in you?

I believe in make-believe, fairy tales and magic charms and...
I believe in promises, spoken as you cross your heart and...
I believe the roses kissed the dew, why shouldn't I believe the same in you?

I believe there comes a day, maybe it will be tommorow...
When the bluebirds fly away, all we gotta do is follow...
I believe that dreams can still come true, why shouldn't I believe the same in you?

You may say I'm a fool, being the way that I do, there's not much I can do
I'm gonna be this way my life through...
So you can call me Pollyanna say I'm crazy as a loon,
So I still believe in miracles I swear I've seen a few,
and the time will surely come when you can see my point of view,
I believe in friends and magic and that's why I believe in you?" --from Mother 1

So, why shouldn't I believe in ghosts? I do, but there are many people out there who thinks we are crazy. My reason is because I want to keep my childhood close to me and I refuse to grow up.. Sounds kinda wierd once I actually typed it..

Ryu-kun October 11th, 2009 11:27 AM

H€ck yeah! My cousin had always "forced" me to watch horror movies like "The Grudge" and "Ring". I used to be scared of even going to the bathroom by myself =S I'm weird, I know.
On-Topic though, I do believe in ghost.
