Do you believe in ghosts?

Also why or why don't you believe in ghosts

Update:

book genious you need to recheck your facts the roswell insident happened in 1946 or 47(people reported seeing dead aliens) and the tails of seeing ghosts (not demons) goes all the way back to ancient times, such as in china people would talk to the ghosts (spirits) of dead ansesters.

    I do NOT believe in ghosts. Just because it seems so abnormal for beings to 'roam' the Earth, just to haunt or make people even more miserable. It just doent make sense to me. I do understand that some people have said they can see them (them being images of people who have died) but i believe this to be because of grief and the mind makes you want to see them so you do, as a mere image.

    I also think that Ghosts are just a media product, for books, films, programmes etc.

    Yes. I have seen ghosts. My grandmas house had plenty of ghosts. My parents house has ghosts. I have seen ghosts at my grandmothers house. When I was in High School my girlfriend seen a ghost in my bedroom closet one night. Also at my parents house you can hear people walking up and down the stairs. Stuff being thrown across the room. The scariest episode was when we were watching a documentary on the demons and evil spirits in the living room. W e were all watching and all of sudden the curtain rod and curtains jumped of its hinges. There is no way that could have happened with out someone lifting it up.

    I don't be live in ghosts.

    BUT whatever people see, they are demons, not ghosts. They try to deceive you, and make you fear them. How come long ago, people didn't be live in aliens? Then, when movies come out about them, people start seeing them? If you look up the acts of people in the 1900's and so on, there were no alien sightings until the first ever alien movie came out... I believe the movie is called Aliens. (1973)

    BACK TO GHOSTS

    In the bible, no one ever claims to see ghosts, they claim to see DEMONS. Demons is also another word for 'ghost' Once people are dead, they are dead... Their souls and all. They don't even go to heaven yet until Jesus comes. The bible says the dead shall rise when he comes. (plus, if people go to heaven before you, their lives would seem like hell to them...watching you suffer and all on earth...just something to ponder....)

    A ghost never appears in the eyes of a true believer of God. Man is a converted ghost, if he does not have moral sense with a faith in God.

    No. I believe that once people die, they are dead. Stuck in the grave and turn to ashes in a couple years type of dead. I also believe that people who see ghosts or can hear spirits are the devils messengers...but that's just my opinion....

    I believe in ghosts because I HAVE SEEN THEM and on more than one occasion... I would have to be a fool to deny their existance.

    No, because as Muslims, we believe in Jinn, which are usually located where blood was shed. I think. Its something like that. I asked my religion teacher.
