Ghosts... yay or nay?

Pretty simple question. Do you think ghosts exist or not? I'm really on the fence... the idea seems plausible but at the same time there's not a ton of proof for it... I did once have a strange experience at a friend's house but I can't know for sure.

I don't.

Nay.

If ghosts existed, we'd be surrounded by them. Lots of people die. Lots of people die under tragic circumstances.

Not a lot of ghosts around.

I guess technicaly anything is possiable but with the amount of people who died, stasticaly there should be more then just a few sighting or a few areas where ghost can be sighted.

If you go with Dante's view on hell based on inferno a snowball actually has near a 100% of exisitng in hell as long as it is at the 9th circle.

It wuz dem ghosts mahn!

Which is another thing: this ghost only come out at night BS. "Geeze, I don't really know what I saw because it was dark, but it looked like a ghost to me." Ahaha...ungh.:|

for the most part, no.

though there have been a few instances that make me wonder. one, for example, we were in our living room, when out of nowhere we heard this loud werd sound. turns out it was a box of dominoes that had randomly fell in my closet. now the box of dominoes beforehand, were placed in such a postion, that there is no way they could have fallen.

then one night i was home with my sister, and we heard a constant knock on our sliding glass door. we checked around the house. nothing. there are hardly any teens/kids in our neighborhood and no one knew we were home alone.

then recently, i have found the cushion thingy from my 360 headset mouthpiece thing, in our bathroom floor, by the trashcan. for the past 3 days. i am usually the last one to go to bed, as such im the last one in the living room where the headset is. have no idea how the mouthpiece cover gets to the bathroom.

have had several questionable events.

now im not saying ghosts are real, but im also not saying they are not real.

I've got a pretty weird view when it comes to that. I'm atheist, but yes, I believe in ghosts. I think it's possible some "echo" (to put it in tangible terms) of the psyche might remain in a place when the living person is gone, even if that "echo" is not necessarily the actual person who died. I obviously have no scientific evidence to back that up, but that's just what I like to think.

oh, we have these little lights around our garden on our front yard. well one day, while my parents were away, i woke up to find them all laid nicely on the sidewalk in front of our house. one light per square.

ive ruled out kids, as we dont have hardly any in my niehgborhood.

no.

the concept of your dead folks coming back to haunt/tell you something makes less sense then other (lesser) supernatural beings that are meant to simply exist like Djinns. At least when talking about Djinns and dust devils they're supposed to exist in and of themselves as beings seperate from the material world. and even then the evidence for the existence of both aside from simple gut feelings and spookin' the $hit out of yourself in the dark is the same... zero.

EDIT:

but do i think both can make for good stories? yeah i think so.

but that doesn't make either of them anymore true.

I think if ghosts did exist their would be some scientific evidence by now.

How do you distinguish between the Natural and Super-Natural if it was to exist?

I got in trouble once because apparently in the next room people were talking about the holy ghost, and my niece came and asked me if ghosts were real, and I said no.

But no.

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"][QUOTE="SaudiFury"] I don't think scientific evidence is even required. the very premise of ghosts doesn't make sense. Even the explanations as to why ghosts exist (when coupled with belief in the afterlife) does not make sense. Because it makes transitioning into the afterlife this confused walk-about. mattisgod01

If it exists, then surely it is natural :P

[QUOTE="mattisgod01"]

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] The realm of logic and reason doesn't really apply to the supernatural. I don't believe in the whole, "the dead haunt you" theory, but I do believe in the supernatural. wis3boi

Exactly, People use the word "Supernatural" all the time but i don't quite know what they mean....

They are real. i heard the Freddy Kruger song 1,2 he's coming for you and a voicee like a monster voice in my room last month when it was a thunderstorm AussieePet

Can I borrow some of your magic mushrooms?

It's a euphemism for "I'm pulling this stuff out of my ass."

its possible, but there is little proof, its possilbe that something in the environment can record events and some people have the ability to see it.

I love ghost stories, horror movies, and such. But I absolutely do not believe in ghosts. Like someone said before, people die tragically in sick ways all the time. So where are the ghosts?

After watching Ghost Hunters for the first time last night on TV, my belief in believing ghosts are out there has diminished. :(
