go fo it. Ghosts are real I saw one myself. They do exist

I think ghosts are real, but I like this approach to "debunking the ghost stories" better than dramatizing any small noise or occurrence to make a buck off a t.v. show.

I am glad that there are people out there that don't believe in ghosts, ufo's or aliens. I, on the other hand do believe n other worldly and unworldly things. I do believe in ghosts as I was visited bymy late pap-pap when I was a child. Go all of the Ghost hunters of the world!!!

I consider ghosts just another form of electromagnetic force (plasma), much of which is still beyond our current science and understanding. I'm glad there are scientists out there trying to debunk this "electromagnetic radiation" as it could bring us closer to possibly discovering a new revolutionary energy source that could ultimately wean us off our dependence on polluting fossil fuels.

i doubt the discovery of ghosts or how they manifest will lead to a break-through in power-producing technology. How could it? I do, however, think it could lead to possible new forms of transportation, or storage. Think "Bag of Holding."

I do believe in Ghosts. Now, like he said in the article, I am not going to make someoone change their beliefs.Until they have experinced something, like I have, they don't have to believe if they don't want to. BUt I find ghosts and other paranormal activity VERY interesting. I think it would be so cool to have a job like that and get to experince that stuff, but on the other hand, I would be REALLY scared if something touched me or whispered in my ear! Ahh! Hahaha!

It is amazing to hear of ghosts in the first world. I thought that was a problem of third world

Wonder if they'd like to come and check out my house? 300 yr old place and we do have ghosts - but very nice ones

How can they scientifically de-bunk a haunting in only one night? they spend like 5 hours in a place and that gives them all the proof?@

No I don't believe in ghosts or flying saucers Andy, but I hope nothing happens like room 1408
where a being DOES prove something to you.
Be careful out there!

(-:

i think there is something out there that we dont understand. the movie poltegeist. the woman said that these are people caught in between worlds.not on earth but not in heavens. doesnt that make sence?

ghost are definitely all around us, back in 1979 living in san diego I lived with a spaniard, he would walk around the apartment but would never stand out so you can see him. in the early mornings while my wife and I slept he would stand in the doorway and look at us while we slept. I would leave for work in the morning and he would lay next to my wife in the bed, but nothing other than that happened. He would walk around the apartment and you would see him through your pereficial vision... He never bothered us or scared us, we called him chuck, but he was a big man, with a beard, and sandals and he looked like a spaniard during the days of battle.

Who you gonna call "GHOST BUSTERS"

i believe ib ghost i had an aunt who came back as ghost she wanted her money she hid and no one in family found it so after family leave the house, the tree next to house and the house burn down with money as well and after that happen we ain't see or hear from her again . bless her soul.

I've met Josh, and know of the place, although I've never been lucky enough to see it.

Much violent history out in the old west, many souls that were dispatched before their time - totally possible!

Is it possible for a said ghost to actually touch or reach out and nudge a person?

i also have seen a spirit....very wierd & scary...i was freezing afterwards..

How do you explain a nine year of kid,one afternoon after coming from school,alone at home, being lifted from the ground one feet and shooked like if held from the underarms. While a high pitched voice yelled at your neck ...WOOOOOhoooooooohooooooo.... Im fifty now. I still get goosebumps when I remember...

Not something easily believed until experienced. When I was in high school, I had a friend with 3 ghosts in his house, all with different personalities. One was frightened (of us - !), one was oblivious to us, and the third my buddy called 'the trickster'. He (?) liked to startle people by opening doors and jumping out. While we never saw him, the feeling is unmistakeable. Your skin gets cold, the hair stands up on the back of your neck, gooseflesh covers your body. If you are attuned to yourself, you will notice an uneasy inner feeling that many people interpret as and allow to gtow into fear. I interpret it more as recognition, of that part within me that might one day be 'the trickster'.

My parnter and I lived in a old brick victorian in columbus OH my partner hated it it was a big money pit we intended to sell it the next year it was built in 1895 He had cancer while he was in the hospital when I walked down the 2nd floor hall way past a door that led up a stair case to the 3rd floor id feel strange get goose bumps the hair on my neck would stand on end near that door no were else. he came home after the hospital stay but died 3 days later after his death the hair raising thing never happened again I found out there had been 2 people that died in that house I sold it and advised the real estate agent about the hall way and she told me not to tell any one interested in the house about it the new owner has not to my knowage had and encounters of that sort another thing while I was there I had a LOT of skin trouble itching and break outs since moving back to my farm i do not have any more skin problems maybe something in the house ? or some thing from the houses past ? ILL never know maybe my partner and the other ghosts are together having a good time ??

I AM a ghost...

I love Ghost Hunters

How do ghosts decide what clothes to wear when making each appearance? When do they change their underpants? And what do they do with their old ones? Ladies and gentlemen, it's the year 2009. I know we look at Europeans with their kings and queens and tell them to get with the 21st Century, but c'mon folks, it's time for a little mirror gazing ourselves. So let's pull the collective thumb out of the butt, stop believing what television feeds us dressed up as reality, get out in the fresh air, and do something useful for someone in the world instead of wallowing in this nonsense! It's amazing to think what you might accomplish with all that free time, especially with bigger priorities in this present age! Oh, yes, and....BOO!

I experienced a very strange dream,in 1978 my father was in serious condition (been accidentally shot by his colleague)in the hospital while nodding off i am dreaming that my father is chasing me in the long stair case then suddenly a door with a small window opended suddenly and i saw the face of my father and i screamed my brother woke me up and it is 15 minutes to twelve midnight,the same time he told me my father died and the watch he had given also stopped the same time.Is that strange?????

Some of you need to drop the ghosthunting and go back to school and learn how to write a complete sentence. booooooooo.

Some of you scoff and make fun but that's okay because 7 out of 10 people have had encounters with entities from beyond.

What some of you encounter are premonitions, a psychic reading per se. Others have actually had encounters with spirits that are earthbound and others of you have had encounters with otherworldly beings. Each is different and each is surreal.

Once you learn to embrace the spirit world as Michael, Pedro and Brent did you find that each spirit has it's own personality. Some are trustworthy and just want human interaction, others, well those are the ones you don't want to ever encounter again and the others are merely trapped between worlds and can't find their way, they're literally frozen in time.

For those doubters, what do you think happens to those souls when they leave the body? You think they just die? Why should they? The soul isn't a thought process which is what you're saying when you say ghost don't exist. The soul does exist outside the body.

Those of you who do believe or have had an experience, open your mind to more, if ones visited you then others will too, if you allow it.

I agree that the whole concept of ghosts is unusual and I probably don't have the explanation, but... the day Nixon resigned was my first day of work at a new job. A co-worker told me of strange occurrences at their unexpectedly-inexpensive new home. Shadows, and (I don't remember most of the others), but a horse-head sculpture from their coffee table had previously slid out from under the front seat of their car when they stepped on the brakes. It had happened again, that morning. They considered it was the ghost of a woman who had lived there and had been found hanging in the garage.
My girlfriend and I went to her house after work and met her family consisting of her husband and teenage daughter.
I had recently read The Secret Science Behind Miracles, by Maxwell Freedom Long, written in the early 1900s and its explanation was the understanding under which I was working. The Ouija board was interesting. We had never used it before but with my girlfriend and I placing our fingers on it as lightly as possible, it moved without my direction. Logic said she must be moving it. On one occasion, however, it tipped my way, meaning even the lightest pressure I was exerting on it was greater than hers.
We recorded the letters it went to but they did not form anything recognizable.
As it got late, I finally said I would return and attempt to learn to communicate with the ghost and convey whatever messages it felt it needed to have conveyed, and I prayed aloud for God to keep this spirit from bothering these people again. The problems stopped following that visit, for two weeks. But life's other demands made it so I didn't return. The next I heard, was that the problems had resumed--including a perfume bottle which fell over on the vanity--and they were moving out.

In the 50's my husband and I rented a lovely house on the outskirts of Springhill, La. The owner showed us through the house and unlocking the door to a small bedroom which looked out from a distance to a cemetary, said he would show us this bedroom, but that we could not use it. It was very chilly in this room.
Some time later we had guests with their young son. He came running into the living room saying that the bedroom door flew open and that someone spoke to him. We investigated and found that the door was indeed open and it could not be closed as the lock was thrown.
We learned that the grandmother had committed suicide in the living room when the grandson had died. The stain was still visible in the floor. I have several other stories connected with the paranormal...no room to tell them!

And here i thought that ghosts only existed in the south pacific. Over here some ghosts most often ancestral spirits are revered and people ofetn ask for favors from them.
But there are the really scary ones that like to prowl the dark nights and scare the beejesus out of those going home after a kava session in the village hall. Bula from Fiji

I believe in spirits. Here is why my older son who is now 4. He was 3 at the time of this happening though. My grandmother gave us a twin bed for him b/c we needed the crib mattress for his brother who was born right before he turned 3. He was fine for awhile. Then that winter he started not wanting to sleep in his room or play in his room. We had ghost hunters over who said there was something in the room. We also had the house/grounds blessed. After being blessed the ghost got very mad b/c he would not even set foot in his room with anyone. He also stated at one time that there was a little boy who wanted to see his mommy and daddy. When I asked where his mommy and daddy were he pointed to Heaven. We got rid on the bed and have not had a problem since.

I do believe. When My son was a baby. We had just moved into a modular home. Right before moving in my uncle who was my favorite pasted away suddenlly in a barge accident. He never got to see the house or come inside. Well ok so after we moved in My son would crawl to the end of the hall facing the living room and would wave to the corner. When we would call to him he would not look at us This went on until he was about 3 years old. It was rather wierd. He is now 4 and does not do it anymore. I say it was my uncle. I still think he stops to visit every now and again.

I don't know how long they stick around, but I certainly believe the spirits of the departed are with us for some time after their passing.

When my first born daughter was about 3, One night i went into her room. She had been put down to sleep for the night. I kept hearing her voice, upon entry,My kid was pointing at the window, and the curtains was blowing like the window had been left open, she was saying see daddy see, over and over pointing at the window. I was p/off thinking my wife had left the window open I walked over to the window and found it closed and locked. I picked her up and she slept with us the rest of the night. This happened a couple of more times in different areas of the home, we sold the house to a real estate company.I broke even on the sale and All i can say is never say never. From there we had our next home blessed by a Priest. It never happend again!

No one has to believe in the paranormal and many don't. However, there are many of us who do and there are more and more everyday. I agree with those who said that it usually takes a personal experience before someone will truly believe and comprehend. I have known ghosts exist ever since I was about 8 or 9. The house I grew up in which is not really old, esp. at that time (built in 1974) had quite a bit of activity in it and does to this day. It happens mostly in cool and cold weather months for whatever reason. What most people do not realize is that it's not normally the building that is caduet for the paranormal but the land. After all, what is older than that? I grew up with 2 ghosts, a little girl and man that we presumed to be her father. They were dressed in late 1800's clothing, high neck nightgown and sleep cap for the girl (ala Laura Ingalls) and all black for the man. They never really caused problems except the man would stare at my little sister in her room and scare her. Finally after several times one night my father went to sleep in my sister's bed while she slept with my mom. As my dad was laying there he felt someone staring at him. When he turned to look he saw the man there. My dad told him to go away that this was not his family and that he was scaring my sister. Well, this made the man angry and he shoved the bed into the wall which left indentions from the frame. My dad is 6'8 and 350 lbs and I never knew him to be afraid of anything but that terrified him. So much so that he peed in the bed. But, after that we never saw them again but we continued to have little mischievious things occur. I am grown and married with kids of my own and the house I am in now has an older gentleman who we think is the grandfather of the previous owner. He has never caused any problems, just walks down the hall at night when the house is quiet. He does not bother me at all. If you don't believe, that's fine. But don't belittle those of us who do or attempt to make us look ignorant or ridiculous. There are some very intelligent people who believe in the paranormal.

I do believe in ghost, but I do not believe they apppear in clothing, and if they did, its probably the last clothing they were wearing when they passed.I often wondered about that, too. I believe it could be the pass staying in place, or repeating itself. I know there are denomic forces at work, I have had many experiences. I also have heard that if you think its a ghost of aloved one or friend, or anybody, its probably not, but the devil doing his work.

hey,I believe in ghost,really I do,but then I am a werewolf muahahahaaaaaaaa!

This is pretty sad. Real scientists don't say that "you need to experience it to believe it"; freaking parlor psychics say that. Nor is a good scientist content to say, well, "I don't take the time to try to convince [disbelievers], because it is a useless argument." If it's useless, it's because your evidence is bad--relying on personal experience, which is notoriously unreliable. I want to believe...I really do, but until you come up with something better than "I hear voices" (up to a quarter of all people experience an auditory or visual hallucination at some point...it's not at all rare and is completely convincing). The fact that someone has something to gain, i.e. notoriety for a business, should also give someone pause and at least tickle the skeptic bone.

Since everybody is already thinking it, I'd like to clarify this guy isn't the TAPS group from Sci-Fi Channel.

Hey,with all of this brain power being expended on the problem of "if ghost exist or not"you might spare a little of it on trying to solve somthing really worth while,like say...global warming or why the dinosaurs are extinct...maybe even try to find out why dogs sniff each others butts.

I have had paranormal events all my life, good and bad. There is no wat anybody can convince me there is not an afterlife or entity's. I have felt them touch me,, go through me, and seen very unusual things. I have had items disappear then reappear later in a different place. I have heard voices and the list goes on.I have a couple right here in the house I live in now. One is denomic, the other I believe to be poltergiest.
