Very Much So! And don't make up the excuse, " oh, I'm religious!' please, they are alive and waiting to eat you!! just kidding. No, but i do believe that they are real because i see them all the time, like in my house, or in my room. And people think that they are going to haunt you, but all that they can do, is sit there and watch you. And, please, for everyone's sake, do NOT play the Ouija board game. Those things provoke ghosts, and they will get very angry with you!!=)

There are definitely spirits among us, but they are NOT the "spirits of departed souls", as Hollywood and practitioners of the occult (such as the Ouija Board that you mentioned, as well as Seances, etc) would have us believe.
The ONLY reliable source for such matters is the Holy Bible (King James Version in english). And according to God's word, when people die, they either are IMMEDIATELY in Heaven or Hell, depending on whether they died "on Christ" (saved) or "without Christ" (lost). There is NO "inbetween state" or "realm of the dead". That is one of the Devil's biggest lies!
You must keep in mind that Satan is "the deceiver of the whole world" according to the Bible. He masquerades in many disguises, even as the apostle Paul described him, saying that he can "transform himself into an angel of light". In other words, he fools those who are spiritually gullible & ignorant into believing that his "cunning craftiness", as Paul put it, is actually something OTHER than that! I repeat: SATAN IS THE MASTER DECEIVER! And he uses things like the occult to fool people into thinking that the afterlife is some way OTHER than what God says it is, ie, that your friends and relatives are somehow "floating around", seeking to "contact us", etc. But that JUST AIN'T TRUE!
What we hear about, and even EXPERIENCE, as far as the "paranormal" and "strange spiritual manifestations", is nothing more than what the Bible refers to as "unclean spirits", or "devils". Many people mistakenly use the term "demons", but that is NOT Biblical! There are MANY "devils", which are "unclean spirits" that are also "fallen angels"; but there is one MAIN "Devil".
His original name was "Lucifer", meaning the "shining one", or "son of the morning". But when he led a cosmic revolt, leading 1/3 of the angels God had created to try and overthrow God (how stupid!), the Lord cast him and his followers out of his place in Heaven, then changed his name to "Satan" which means "the accuser; the adversary".
He is the ARCH ENEMY OF GOD, and he opposes EVERYTHING that is good and right and true in the sight of Almighty God! And he will continue his deception, including having his army of "unclean spirits" do his bidding in masquerading as "ghosts and gobblins", appearing as people's "dearly departed friends & relatives", until the day that Jesus Christ returns to this earth to END Satan's trickery and reign of terror and all that is evil! So, beware of those who would try to convince you that there are "ghosts" in the sense that you are used to hearing! We don't need "Ghost Busters", or some "Medium" or "Exorcist". What we DO need is to be SAVED BY JESUS FROM OUR SINS, and then we will have HIS HOLY SPIRIT (also called the "Holy Ghost" in scripture) living in us to guide us and keep us from these deceptions!

Yes....
I think they have as much to do with us as we do with them. Oh, and I also think we have power over them (contrary to popular thought).
