Does anyone really believe in ghosts or are their imaginations just playing tricks on them?

I have always seen "ghosts", so for me the answer is definite. Ironically however, I am also an extremely analytical and logical person! So I don't go around screaming the 'house is haunted' at every little bump in the night. I like the show "Ghost Hunters" also btw, scientific evidence is nice (I like the lighthouse episode -that was good). Imagination can deceive you easily, I won't lie and say that is not true. But there is an energy that carries on sometimes after the death of the body, and there are things that we can not explain as humans...the 'demons' that lurk in the shadows. Things that turn non-believers around when experienced, and things that 'sensitive' people already know about and see.

Well it all depends on the person. Yes I admit there a lot of times or for most people it can be an over active imagination. But in many cases including my own I strongly believe in ghosts. How else can you know facts and descriptions of things and people you never met. Example; I once went to this house for the first time with my friend and I was able to describe the owners grandparents. Why? well simply because they where standing in the hall of his house along with others. Everybody is actually the only one that can determine if what they saw was real or not.

The "Ghost Hunters" actually caught one on camera in an old deserted prison. Something materialized and ran down a corridor. Probably 90% of their shows come up with nothing, very vague and inconclusive evidence or they outright bust a fraud. But there are several times they got evidence that can't be explained by anything we would consider normal forces.

I believe in "ghosts". Don't you ever watch "Ghost Hunters" on the Sci-fi channel? It's a great show. Plus, as was so grandly pointed out in a wonderful movie (Powder), energy never just goes away; it changes forms. People believe in a lot of crazy things. Why not believe that our energy can go on even after our bodies cannot?

Scientifically, if you're honest with yourself and consider the concept that something cannot just become nothing (our energies change forms), ghosts/spirits make sense. "Ghost Hunters" on the Sci-Fi channel does a really really good job of this, because they use scientific equipment/methods to debunk claims of paranormal activity. The lighthouse episode from last season is a personal favorite.

I`ve never seen a ghost.I would never call someone a liar because they said they had.People see things differently.I live in a house built in the 70`s.Theres odd noises.Thumps especially up stairs when your down stairs.Some folks might perceive that as some one.I just think its the house settling ,or maybe a squirrel in the walk through between floors.I`ve had a lot of strange things happen in my life.But I believe everyone has,if they haven`t, they haven`t lived long enough.

I have never seen ghosts, but I have heard several...in my old house, I used to hear what sounded like talk radio in the distance, but I could never quite make out the words (the guy that lives there now hears it too and has seen a man in the hallway and the driveway)...my mom-in-law lived in an old lodge and one night, I came from doing laundry downstairs, they set off alarm clocks and then I heard slamming doors (all the doors were locked)...the guy that died in my house now likes to hide things and then put them right in front of you...but I got pissed at him the day he pushed all the dishes out at me when I opened the cupboard...

I have never seen a ghost but have seen paranormal activity.If one is so shallow minded as to only believe in what they can see,then they cannot believe in anything and how unimaginative that is.
