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!

chiefs_freak · 04-28-2002, 08:42 PM

Well im cool with ghosts as long as they dont harm me, like say in my uncle's story who lives in KC, he says that there is about a 6yr girl and a 4 yr old boy that are spirits leaving there and they see them often they say, just walking around during the night and day they dont do any harm to them or anything but he says when he takes showers he can him them screaming or something yelling sometimes so the assume that they were killed in the bathroom. so anyway i have stayed their alot but have not seen them so i dont really no what to believe. but it freaks me out whenever i go to stay over there.

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.

well if you believe in heaven then you must believe in the bible..also saying that Jesus appeared after his death (spirit).
also that people who are not ready to fully enter heaven go to purgutory to clense themselves.... maybe some clensing happens here!?

CF - Have you ever used the shower he does? Maybe try it in the dark with just some candle light. That should give you freak you out a bit.

Being a natural born skeptic, I never believed in ghosts until about ten years ago. I was living in Virginia, and I woke up and saw an old woman hovering over my bed. She was whitish colored and transparent, wearing clothing that looked Civil War era. I saw this dozens of times during the 2 years I lived there. I've never seen anything like it since I moved out of that apartment. It was right next to a Civil War battlefield, and I've always wondered if that had something to do with it.

Now the movie 13 Ghosts that will make you hope and pray their are not any ghosts like that. good and scary movie

Here's the famous picture from Three Men and a Baby...

*EDIT*-in following post

I'm looking for another picture that's pretty famous...it's this one of this girl who was 'haunted'...she wasn't more than 15 years old or so and bad things always seemed to happen around her. One day she was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter, who brought a photographer along. The ghost supposedly would always do things involving the girl when the photographer wasn't looking. Well according to him he outsmarted it..pointed the camera at the girl and looked away...and then it struck and he took a picture. The picture showed the girl sitting in her chair with the phone flying in mid-air in front of her...freaky stuff. If I find it I'll post it.

chiefs_freak · 04-28-2002, 08:50 PM

My cousin back In MO had/has something like that happen to her. Her husband was killed in a car wreck, and shortly there after she would be lying in bed and feel the bed move and sag as if someone was getting in bed with her. Says she never felt scared by it for some reason. would also wake in the middle of the night feeling someone touch her, but no would would ever be there.

I believe it's possible. I've heard too many freaky stories.

**Dartgod** · 04-28-2002, 08:55 PM

BigOlChiefsfan · 04-28-2002, 09:02 PM

When I was in college I lived in an old farm house that had been sub-divided into apartments. The old farmwife had passed on in that house, and when I moved in the first thing I heard from the other residents was 'don't worry if you think there's a ghost, it's just Mrs. F* and she likes us, cause we take good care of the place'. And if there was a ghost there, she/he WAS benign, we never had any troubles. A few times I heard footsteps upstairs when I KNEW that no one was around, water would turn on and off, lights would go on and off. Probably just old house nonsense. Not to worry, and I didn't.
The only really weird thing was that the dogs in the house could see *something* that we couldn't see. We'd be sitting around burning...uh...incense, yeah incense, and the dogs would all be looking at something in the middle of the room, their heads would all turn as they watched *something* walk past...who knows what they saw. Maybe the incense stunned *it* into submission. "Let's burn another one to keep it at bay".

We made sure that stories about our ghost got spread around among the seedier people we knew there in town, told 'em one guy kept a bunch of rattlesnakes, too, "for advanced biology class". FYI, nothing keeps the riffraff away like poisonous snakes, a pack of big dogs and 24 hour haints (no waiting.)

I respect that...I also expected that to be the reason as my parents have become very religious and I have watched them refuse to believe anything that can't be explained in the bible.

As a non-religious person I tend to find it funny that people on one hand will fight you over the existence of something in which there is no earthly proof of its existence and will then turn around and fight against something else that falls into a similar category. Hopefully you can respect that also...

I appreciate your honesty.

I saw a poll on this question on netscape.net about a year ago, and couldn't believe it was 51-49% no, with something like 100,000 votes.

I've heard the stories, seen pictures, and have known people that have had "encounters", but I'm still very, very skeptical.

I guess my answer would be the same as how I respond to religious posts.... I don't believe in it, because I have no reason to. I'm sure if I had a first-hand encounter with one, and I hadn't been drinking that night, then I'd believe
