    I have seen two ghosts when I was 13. So yes, I do believe!

    No. I do believe in residual haunting though.

    Residual haunting is basically a type of haunting wherein things that happened in the past seem to replay on itself. From a scientific view it is possible just as tape recorders work. Sound is stored on plain black tape of some sort and gets played when you put in an old audio player.

    This might explain people hearing sounds music playing at night from nowhere, soldiers marching, people talking, etc.

    As for Intelligent Haunting, I'm not quite sure what to say. Some say they're demons(fallen angels/spawns of fallen angels), some say they're trapped spirits of the dead.

    In the end the decision to believe or not to believe is in your hands. Most people are skeptics until they experience something themselves.

    Yes, because I see them from time to time. Usually in dim or low light, because dark makes them easier to pick out but I've recently started spotting them in the day too.

    More often than not they're a feeling rather than a visual thing, though occasionally I'll smell them. Sometimes (as in my case) you have to be shown what a ghost looks like before you realise you've been seeing them all along :P

    After a while they start coming to you because they know you'll 'see' them. Many of them just want to be recognised again.

    So yes, I believe, though it's more a case of knowing. The quickest way to not see ghosts is to convince yourself they don't exist :P

    The majority of ghosts have been proven to be a nearly inaudible sound at around 10hz, which causes a sense of danger in humans (due to a similarity in the noise of large animals and natural disasters) and can cause the eyeball to vibrate and make inanimate objects appear to be moving. It can also vibrate other parts of your body, causing nosebleeds or bleeding from the ear.

    Not really. Just because it hasn't been confirmed. However I am smart enough to know I don't have all the answers so I keep an open mind.

    I do believe in ghosts. I have never seen one but it makes a lot of sense that when people pass away before their time, their spirit remains in our realm. There are so many stories from living people who encounter these ghost/spirits.
