about ghosts/ paranormal stuff?

do you...

-think it's a bunch of crap and the 'sightings' in videos/photos are modified hollywood graphics and you think it's hilarious that people actually believe in this delusional stuff

-keep an open mind. you haven't seen or heard a ghost before but there's a chance that there might be something out there.

or

-truly believe they exist because you've seen one or heard one make a noise, seen an exorcism or stuff like that

?

and say if you're a Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, atheist, whatever.

**not trying to start a war, just curious on what people think.

    Think it's a bunch of crap! Haha. People do tend to be like that. I believe in spirts, but not ghosts that are stuck some where- no way.

    None of the above.

    Ok, ghosts doesn't exist, and I'm not being silly but seriously think about it. What is a ghost? is it a living organism that is invisible ? it has to be a gas then in that case, so what happens when the air flows? these creatures die when you move your hand.

    and these shows of recording ghosts and stuff are very silly. why would a ghost be detected in infrared ? we all know that infrared detects heat and we all know that the air is changing and heat waves could gather at any time and then diminish, just like a fart.. its there, then its gone in seconds..

    as for sounds, get me a scientific room that guarantees that no external sound waves can get in and and lets go in that room and see if we ever gonna hear a thing.. ghost sounds usually happen in abandoned houses with broken windows or squeaky roofs, it never scared me and it shouldn't scare you either.

    as for motion caught on tapes, it can be easily explained with newton's second law of motion

    F = m * a

    it means if there's a force, no matter how small it is, it will cause an object of mass 'm' to accelerate 'a' m/s

    so considering static electricity that is found anywhere in your kitchen cabinet or in the abandoned basement, small magnitude of Force exist all around the place. Basically very tiny force over a very very long period of time will always lead into noticeable motion, the time where it couldn't move is sucked in by friction. or big force and tiny time will also lead into motion, small forces cannot be neglected when the time passing is so large it will build up a momentum that will break the friction Force for a short period of time causing very short motion. over time ( could be years, remember that time has to be very large because the force is almost zero, but not actually zero ).

    This happens every day, everyone have experienced a glass slipping off of a table at least once in their life. or dishes moved on the dish hanger.. etc.. its just force and time =)

    I don't think this is open for debate, its like saying god carrying the birds, but when you put it down and analyze it with physics laws you'll be able to fly and airplane..

    for those who like ghost and love ghost stories, don't just thumb me down.. try to refute the possibilities that i mentioned before you blindly believe in ghosts only because you don't have an explanation.. just like rainbow.. no its not the fairy =)

    Yes, I really enjoy watching that sort of stuff even though I'm a nonbeliever. But Ghost Adventures is utterly stupid. They try to provoke an entity and when they get something they scream and freak out like a bunch of little girls. I don't believe anything coming from that show, but Ghost Hunters and the like I'd be more inclined to believe.

    I'm an atheist that gives atheists a bad name I guess. I believe ghosts are real because I have seen the same one on more than one occasion. Judge me as you will.

    Do I believe they are dead people coming back to haunt? No. I think more along the lines of a parallel Universe or something...don't really know much about what I'm talking about, but I do know that the Universe is so damn huge that there are probably loads of possibilities that I am not going to dismiss just because people think I'm nuts for saying I saw a "ghost".

    My grandmother was a medium. Seances were a common part of my childhood summers spent at the grandparents' home in Maine. More than once in my life I have had experiences I cannot explain. I have no religion.

    I am a Buddhist and I do believe in spirits and I am in a paranormal investigation group. When you actually have the equipment and do it yourself you know no one is screwing around with you and what you get is 100% your doing.

    I believe that ghosts do exist, but most of the time they are demons tricking people and misleading them.
