    OK yes I believe in ghosts. but as I read your other post, you said you have had a lot of depression and anxiety problems lately. I am not a doctor and I am not giving out medical advice. But if your depressed and under a lot of stress then maybe you need to seek help. I know from my friends personal experience, that he began to see things and talking to things that were not there. He was hallucinating. none of us here can say for sure, but if this continues during depression episodes but not in a normal state of mind. the answer should be obvious.

    I don't think ghosts as autonomous entities are real. But I do think that people have real experiences that scare them, and these are often attributed to ghost activity. So you're not nuts, you're just someone who had a scary experience.

    I read your question, and without more information I can't really say conclusively what was going on. But the experience of being watched or having someone over your shoulder is very common, and put simply, it's just a mindgame we play on ourselves. But if that spooked you, and you started obsessing about spirits around you, etc., you really could have imagined a ghost surrounding you or hugging you. That's pretty much all it was, I'd say.

    i do beleive in spirits, and dont be scared, where did you see it, in your house?, if so, check out the history on the house, and if you are really interested buy an emf (electro magnetic feild) usualy if there are spirits you will get a high reading that cant be traced into any heat source or electir source, also check for random cold spots. most likely the ghost wont hurt you, u could also check out Taps they do that kind of stuff

    It's difficult to find "proof". Probably all we have is what people say they experience. Go to "similar questions" on Y/A for lots of experiences. However, don't count on any psychiatrists believing you.

    EDIT...I don't believe "in " them...I believe "about" them..I know stuff happens. I'm not sure yet who or what it is.

    I do not believe in ghosts. I used to though. I wanted to see one very badly. Alas, none have come. I choose to base my beliefs on evidence, rationality and reason so I am afraid the idea that supernatural residues of formerly living people tromping around is right out. That being said, I don't automatically think anyone else who believes in them is crazy.

    yes i believe that there can be some spirits or ghosts who hang around places

    Of course I do! If I didn't then my "dead" family members wouldn't be able to leave a spirit or a sign that he/she has been there!! SO I DO BELIEVE IN GHOSTS!!

    If you're nuts, honey, then cart me off to the psych ward, because not only do I believe in them, I talk to them. LOL
