Do you believe in Ghosts?
 

well i have been thanking about this topic for a while now and im going to do a survey on it. Do you guys believe in ghost? are they real or fake? Have you ever incountered one? plus i thought this would be a fun post. please tell!

I have never had any encounter with haints but I am very open to the idea. Just too many stories by too many people to think that it isn't possible.

I don't believe ghosts, the tooth fairy, Santa or that Elvis is still alive hanging out with Jimmy Hoffa. :eek:

Not sure what to call them, but I have had an encounter?

We used to own a farm by Rayville, MO when I was a kid. There was an old abandoned house just down the road. Every once in awhile when we would drive past it on the way to the farm we would see "lights" on the side of the house. One night my dad and a buddy of his was with us, and we decided to check it out.

We knew there was no power to the house, not even lines to it. We thought maybe it was someone messing around. We got out of the truck to walk up to the house. When we did my mom & sister stayed with the truck, while dad, his friend my brother & I walked up to the house. When we got about 30feet from the house the lights would dissapear, yet reappearer when we moved back.

At this point we just thought they were reflections from somewere. But went ahead to walk on up just see see if maybe we could figure out were they were coming from. When we got up to the house, we could not see the lights at all or any source. But as we started to walk back towards the hiway, we heard a noise from the roof of the house.

When we looked up, we say what appeared to be a "ball" of light. it went the lenght of the house then in a window, and dissapperead. We started back to the house to see what it was. As we neared the front door, the light shot out of the window upstairs and back on the roof. It continued to float around above the house while we watched.

After about five minutes it went back in the window and dissapeared. We then went in the house, and found nothing after an extensive search. One curious thing is this happened in the summer. It was about 90 degrees out and very humid. Yet when we walked upstairs we all noticed it was very cold , cold enough that we all had goosebumbs.

We continued to see the lights on occasion, and had other tell us of similear experiances with that house. Have no idea what it was, but is was definatly wierd.

Curious as to why not?

Anyone watch that FEAR show on MTV, go on that to see if you believe....I watch and say "Screw that sheeet!";)

Did you guys ever see the movie "Beetlejuice" with Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton? Great flick about ghosts.

I don't know whether I do/don't believe. But if they are real..I don't want any part of them. :D

I do know TONS of people who have ghosts stories and believe, which either means I know a lot of insane people or something fishy's going on. Some of those people I know aren't really the type to make up stories or make a big deal out of things, so I really don't know, maybe they are real. On Halloween one year in high school all we did was sit around and tell personal ghost stories during history class...and it seemed like half the class had one, including the teacher.

This paranormal stuff has always fascinated me though I guess. UFO stories, etc, etc...I guess I'm just weird. :D

CF - My wife has had expiernces with a ghost, so I guess I have to say that I believe in them as I believe her. I don't want to go into the stories, but it freaks her out.

Of course there is someone on this BB that says that they are all Demons and not ghosts, but for the life of me I can't remember who it was.

Well i have to admit i have never saw a ghost but i do believe in them for some reason, i think their is some kind of super natural spirit out their. but i have seen things be thrown and things happen like door open and close by their selfs now if that's not scary i dont know what is.

CF - Try something touching you when nothing is there...

HAHAAHAH....
Ask Brad_Caudle about his experiences...

Just remeber that not all ghosts are evil spirits...
Some could just be the aura or spirit of a loved one saying hi!
My Great Gramdmother used to "talk" to her passed on sister...when you told her no one was there..you recieved a crzy look...like "are you blind"??

ya their real enough for my taste!!:rolleyes:

Re: Re: Do I believe in Ghosts?
 

Well, as a Christian, I believe that the souls of individuals after they die are destined to go to Heaven or Hell, not to remain on earth to haunt the living. I've heard stories of ghosts that sound rather convincing, so I am not shutting the door on that possibility entirely, but I have never seen any real proof of their existence, either. I have never been haunted by ghosts or anything.

I don't know. Perhaps that's not the best of answers, but that's all I can think to say right now.

IA - In all honesty, I think that is a pretty good answer.
