I believe in "real" ghosts.. Ghosts are just "earthbound" spirits .. and because i believe the spirit lives on, it's not much of a stretch at all. I agree, to think what only exists is the 5 senses is extremely short-sighted & neanderthal. I'm thinking there are more unbelievable things than ghosts that exist and of which we couldn't even begin to comprehend.

According to para-experts, there are different kinds of "energies".. Basically your intelligent hauntings and residual energies. Imprinted energies can keep looping due to some traumatic or highly emotional occurance experienced during physical life. Then there are "intelligent energies" or actual spirits that ARE earthbound and will talk back and communicate with you, as through (evp) communication for example.

Then you have your poltergeist, portal and demonic type hauntings. ALL are scary & you never forget.. (i've had family members experience these energies in one form or another other, as i have to.)

It's all pretty interesting, at any rate ..

If you currently DON'T believe, you probably will after watching the show Psychic Kids on A&E. Wow...that's some scary shit. Watch it and then explain to me how there is no possibility for ghosts.

Seen it.

Ghosts to me don't exist because, there's still unexplained things in the world. There's the question of living through another life, reincarnation, and other practices that, just don't make sense.
I think, those "ghosts" that remain, or energies, are imprints telling the living what had happened when they "lived"; like a person who is in living wants desperately to be remembered, to show, tell their story.
If an event has been unresolved, then they leave a diary of that behind. They say we dont use even 10% of our brain power (if even that...but that's the most common saying).

If reincarnation exists, then the person who has left has gone on into another. Ghosts, are just memories, and imprints of the past.

And if those who believe in reuniting with their loved ones, it will happen, usually, because that's the ultimate goal...

So, you believe in spirits of some kind? I ask because you said you believe energies are telling their story. So, what's the difference between that and a ghost?

Also, don't believe the 10% brain power thing. That is debunked in an intro to Psych class.
Do you have proof on us reuniting with our loved ones? Just curious how you can say that will happen with certainty.

Just to make it clear, I was NOT being snippy with you...it was just a comment/question. I think it can be proven that ghosts are a real thing because I've known several people who have experienced them.
Now, whether or not we will see our friends and family again, that would be more of an opinion like you stated.

I agree with you that everyone has the right to believe in what they wish to believe in. But, just because you have faith in something or someone, doesn't always lead to it coming to fruition. Believing doesn't always cause things to occur. Guess I'm just more of a realist. I'm a person who goes on proof, not faith. This is the reason I believe in the concept of ghosts...I've not had a personal account, but people very close to me have and I believe what they are telling me.

^^ Hmmm, re-reading my stuff: Sorry if I'm kind of snippy myself. lol I just got back from an exam and I'm just exhausted and irritated.
Too much mocha coffee too.

Anyway, I hope you understand, I dont mean to be miss know-it-all. I'm not. I just have strong opinions and beliefs. But, they can change if I see another option that makes MORE sense to me.

Understood...I've had a rough week of school too. I too have strong opinions and beliefs and really respect others that do as well.

Hi,

I thought When a man dies, he is called dead, but when he again appears in a subtle form not visible to our present vision and yet acts, such a dead body is called a ghost.

In my views Ghosts are always very bad elements, always creating a fearful situation for others.

"Yet, point 3 says you will believe your friend's accounts on THEIR proof....

Isn't that still believing in THEM?"

I see what you are saying, but I guess I'm more apt to believe in a friend's account then no account at all (pure faith) that no one has experienced.

I sometimes think those shows are fake and they do that just for ratings. But ghosts can be real.

I haven't seen one because I'm not schizophrenic or possessed thankfully. All the ghost shows I've watched seem so scripted. -_-

its something you would have to experience in order to fully comprehend that there are "spirits" on our plane. like, when i was a kid, i believed there were ghosts, and i had never had anything weird happen to me. but when i did have experiences, it made me fully understand the weight of the belief.
