do ghosts exist in real life?

I've seen what I thought was a ghost of a little girl at my friends house, but the whole time I was wondering if it was an illusion or my imagination or something like that. But really-- DO GHOSTS ACTUALLY EXIST?

    My wife, and I believe in ghosts. We feel that we live in a haunted house. We have both seen, and heard ghosts in our house. Here is a story my wife wrote about our ghosts, and two pictures taken in our house we can not explain.

  • It is possible. There are so many mysteries in this universe that we don't understand. I think that a rational explanation for ghosts is that there is a tear or fault in a dimension that "leaks" the events of another past reality. Hence why you get ghosts who repeat the same events over and over. There is no way of telling what happens after death. The thing is that people have had near death experiences and the mind creates this "light at the end of the tunnel" when you are deprived of oxygen. The human brain is a powerful organ that has a tendency to fabricate something. When something like that is connected to our senses i.e. eyes we see things we call ghosts but it could be a side effect from lack of sleep. It's a matter of discerning whether it's just your own mind playing tricks or it really is a ghost. I am not saying ghosts aren't real but it seems that a genuine paranormal experience is ultra rare. I believe that if there is an existence after death that most people who have died exist in another dimension or somewhere far removed from the realm of the living.

    Do Ghosts Exist

  • 7 years ago

    Yes I believe they exist, I have seen them on numerous occasions. I also know my aunt seen a few. It was when my grandmother was in her last days. A month or two before my grandma passed away there were sightings, she said she was not alone. She fell from her bed and she said there was a dog licking her. She said there is a little girl ghost that sleeps with her. She said there is a gang of bikers outside waiting. NO ONE believed her. Until my grandma had to have assistance over night. My Aunt believed grandma after the first night she stayed. She was laying on the sofa, and heard a noise. It was coming from the fan. The ghost came out of the fan, a green mist. It circled around behind the fan and formed a woman. My aunt could not believe her eyes. She closed them twice and looked again...she was still there. The same night the radio kept coming on, she turned it off but came on again.

    I have also seen two one at the end of my bed all black, Also had one grab my foot and pull in my sleep. One more at a friends house...this one the whole family has seen, except one person. I was coming down the stairs stopped dead in my tracks at the landing of the stairs. S very tall grey see through figure walked across the entrance way into the living room. It was 830 pm daylight in the summer. I am not sure what they are exactly...they do exist...but I think they are satins buddies, master of deception..

    Yes, I believe that ghost do exist in real life, only because I see them my self, I have my whole life from a very young age. What you saw was most possibly real, although it is nothing to be afraid of :) The thing is that most spirits that we see are earth bound, meaning they have bound their selves to our world because they feel someone close to them or they knew is in need of help, or even some that have died suddenly in horrific ways and don't understand why.

    I think they are real but rarely seen by people. I have never seen one myself but I have seen photos on the internet of a wild encounter of one. I have seen pictures on the internet of one on camera with a circle showing where the ghost is. Don't freak out if you see one, if I ever saw one it would be very interesting. Some people don't believe in them, ghosts are real but they are rare. Either a shadowy figure or a white figure, or weird sounds can be a ghost.

    YES In the house I live in now an 8 year old boy was killed we don't know how but this is the only thing we could find out about the house. The little boy and me are sort of friends I still wake up every night to see him sitting beside me pretending to hold my hand, he is so sweet but the only problem is he can be really playful and starts to hide my stuff especially in the mornings he does talk to me and follow me around the house and my mum started to get freaked out (No one else can see him but me and that isn't really a good thing my family started to think I was going crazy) and she asked me who I was talking to and all that and I promised Tommy (That's what he likes to be called he said he is to embaressed about his real name) that I wouldn't tell anyone so I just said Tommy and walked off and we left it. I still see him now and we talk a lot he isn't shy around me and talks to me all the time and he can be really cheeky especially when there is no one else in the same room as me he trys to make me laugh. If you don't believe me then that's ok I understand but this is real and YES ghosts are real some people say they are everywhere but not all the time :)

    Well I am not gonna talk about my beliefs, rather lets look at this from an interesting angle of science. There are so many unsolved mysteries in this universe. The 1st and foremost of them is often about how this universe came into existence. Several theories exist on this, some say space and time itself came into existence when the Big Bang occurred 15 billion years ago but the question is, what caused the BIG BANG? was our universe a small part that evolved from other universes? do we live in a multiverse? what is the boundary between different universes, how is the boundary identified? is that a certain distance away from us and expanding rapidly? Where did hydrogen and helium come into existence? we see micro-organisms in the microscope and laugh thinking how small they are and they ll spend their entire lives within 100 micrometers? what if WE ARE THE MICRO organisms on some OTHER being s petri dish? what if our whole universe is nothing but a small dot for this BEING? are there higher beings than humans? Is there life other than us in the universe? Is every organism really made up of 2 entities: body and soul? are there processes after death? So many unanswered questions and mysteries lie around us, so given the amount of things we dont know, I wont RULE out the possibility of existence of a PURE ENERGY form called a GHOST, but then there are certain questions that linger around this, do animals have ghosts? does every living organism have a ghost of its own, does an organism die and go to some dimension that we are not aware of? are there other dimensions in the universe that human beings dont understand? just like a micro organism on your PETRI dish does not understand a2+b2=a2+2ab+b2, what if there are more intelligent beings in this universe that we are not aware of? what if there are OTHER STATES of existence other than LIFE and DEATH? Its truly amazing when you start thinking about all this, I could ask you a BOOK full of questions and yet in return all you can give me as answers would be BLANK pages!!

    I believe there are Ghosts, I saw one in a school, I can't say which school for privacy. I saw her at 1.10pm on a sunny day. She had long ginger hair and wearing a long pink dress. My friend who was with me also saw her. She just floated through the toilet door. We knew it was a ghost because there was no way out. when we looked she was gone. But 2 of us saw her which says I was not imagining it.

    let us leave about belief and other such stuff.

    coming to science. I think that science is the only religion which we should follow in this generation. There are many scientific studies done for spirits (do not use word ghost) and also many devices are invented to identify them. I don't think there is need of some more explanation! The ANSWERS is YES. YES the SPIRITS EXISTS.

    Now that is up to u that u believe it or not!

    depends apon the wording for example the para and normal term usaged means alike unto the real thing yet isnt the same as it is printed apon medical ambulances via its school book meaning.mr cash allready had contacted ghost hunting folks on the telivized ghost hunting series yet on the buisness end of such didnt get paid for it thus my ghost mining rights being envoked should help them with such an tactivity via some of them are alike his poe very much rich and that stuff is worth money in the real world and myself being an psycology and sociology student am very interested in helping their poe cope with the after life and publish my findings later of which pays fourty grand per year all by its self.
