Ghosts

I have a feeling they're kinda real. But there's another feeling I have that doesn't. Has anyone seen one anyway?

Honestly, i don't believe in ghosts. I haven't seen any
And i think that there should be scientific proof before i'll believe in them.

I'm open to the possiblity of there being ghosts, but I myself have never seen anything. There's supposedly a ghost haunting the third floor of my cousin's house up in Maine. I go there a lot because my grandparents had a cottage next to the house.
The story is that her name is Catherine. She died in the attic (above third floor) back soon after the house was built. She hanged herself when discovering her husband was lost at sea. This part of the story is the truth - there really was a Catherine in that house who killed herself. However, I'm iffy on the ghost part of it. She is supposedly haunting the third floor of the house (basically just three unused guest rooms).
My aunt claims to have saw her in the mirror once.
My cousin (who's dead now but he owned the house) broke his thumb on the third floor when opening a window. He opened it and locked it in place and was turning away when it slammed back down on his hand. This, in turn, was blamed on Catherine for being angry at his for intruding or whatever.

So basically I'm not sure if they exist or not. :think:

I believe in a lot of things, and that includes the paranormal.

The idea of ghosts greatly intrigues me. I feel bad for lonely souls meant to wander their areas of haunt forever. I think that they may be waiting for something they never got in their past life. Say, a women's husband never came home one day, and instead ran off with someone else. She could be so heartbroken the after her death she would still sit by the window, waiting for his return.

I wonder why they haven't moved on and some have. Like I said, they may be waiting for something, or perhaps something wasn't resolved that they're still trying to accomplish.

The proof makes a lot of people skeptical, especially in our age of trick photography and photoshop. Finding good proof these days is very difficult, but I've come across a website that has some pretty valid looking pictures. Perhaps later, if I get the chance, I might fool around with some and invert them, to try and see if there's any evidence of tampering. But so far they look chillingly legitimate. I found them here.

I blame everything on ghosts. FOr example if there is like a broken vase and my mom asks who broke it and I have no clue who did it then I just simply say the ghost did t.

I also love the show Ghost Hunters. Actually, I love making fun of it.

BUt, who knows. :file:

I love the fact that this is in the wrong place...the science forum, ghosts are not science. That being said, I don't believe in ghosts. There is no proof of them other than blurry, badly lit photos, or TV shows which are paid to make things look real.

^ As I said on the previous page, they do scientifically test for ghosts. Not necessarily transparent figures, but traces that people leave behind.

People just keep talking about the paranormal aspect rather than the scientific.

I believe that they're is a possiblity of ghosts, and reading this has helped me believe that more.

Someone said something about energy being left behind, and the more dead bodies in a place, the more energy in the place. (I'm too lazy to see who said it :tehe:) That makes sense to me.

My dad has always said that there isn't such things as ghosts, but demons and the like. I don't know if I agree with him, because I have seen a few things that can't be explained scientifically.

Summing this up, I believe in ghosts. I think they're spirits that either are lost, confused, or angry.

I'm open to the possibility of ghosts, I suppose.

However, I have never seen any hard proof of the existence of the paranormal. I love reading about ghosts and ghost stories though. :tehe: And thank you, fool's paradise, for the link. The photos were very interesting. :cute:

I watch Ghost Hunters sometimes; they have all these scientific instruments and they claim to feel ghosts, but I think it's all crap. I suppose they're the closest thing to a scientific approach to the paranormal that I've seen, so it's no wonder that I'm left doubting.

I guess I may never know, really.

I believe in ghosts. I have experiances with a ghost and also a ouji (sp?) board.
Also, has anyone saw the Micheal Jackson ghost? It was live on CNN in america, so i dont think its been faked tbh. It looks like Jacko aswell I an a vert supersticious(sp?) person.

I don't believe in ghosts. The way my religion works, doesn't really allow that. Not allow, but it doesnt say anything about ghosts. Once you die, your dead and go to heaven or hell. Ghosts, in my opinion or just demons are trying to scare you...or to get your attention. To get you involved with phychics and stuff.

Like seeing a relative after they died, that doesn't sound real.

Ghosts aren't necessarily against Christian religion. Ghosts could be the souls who have not reached heaven yet.

...What about the Holy Ghost?

:tehe:

I think they changed it to the Holy Spirit for that reason. :XD

So now the Holy Spirit represents the connection between soul, body & God. I don't think it necessary is a Ghost anymore. However, I could be wrong.

It does make a lot more sense and is a lot more scientific, which is why I like it.

I'm not even that keen on the EMF (Electro-Magnetic-Field) theory (that ghosts give off electrical fields), because on one of the ghost tours I went on, they gave us all an EMF receiver and picked nothing up. Neither did the guide, but she said that she had done before. If the place is haunted, then surely the ghosts are there all the time.

But on the other ghosts tour, where it is historical fact that hundreds of people died down there, I felt uneasy as soon as we stepped in. I wasn't scared at all in the other one, I was just completely determined to see a ghost, but on the second one, I went in with the same determination, but it died as soon as we stepped in. I just felt all horrible. It could have been all the left-behind energy I was feeling.

My auntie's catholic and we were asking her the difference between Catholics and Protestants and the only difference she could give us was that catholics say the Holy Spirit but Protestants say the Holy Ghost, si I thin it depends what religion you belong to.

Ah, I forgot about that. :tehe:

I guess the whole Ghost & Spirit debate depends on what they mean, because for religion it doesn't literally mean what it does. It's probably a metaphor for something more, because I think the Church doesn't define the Holy Ghost/Spirit as the apparition of a dead person.

I'm a Protestant [Presbyterian]...but we call it the Holy Spirit. I think it depends on what country you come from... not the Christian denomination. Also it might depend upon the translation of the Bible you go by.

Anyway back on topic. The Holy Spirit isn't a ghost. Because it doesn't 'haunt us' It lives within those who except Him into them.

Ghosts are something other.

If you ask me, that's 99% likely to be merely the shadow of a film crew member.

Whether they're real or not is beyond me;
But It's strange,
Because paranormality both intrigues,
and Scares the Shit out of me.

I believe in them because I have had several experiences with the ghost in my house. I named him Jim only because I took a Facebook quiz on What's your ghosts name? :tehe:

I have no idea what he is doing here, but he's pretty rad besides the fact he started my blender. :shifty
