Do You Believe in Ghosts?

I'm an atheist and a sceptic so no.

Maybe I can help... in the Christian believes, The Old Testament proclaim about the physical resurrection and the preservation of the physical bodies in the judgement day... the conservation of the body is really clear on that believe... then... in the New Testament Jesus speaks very graphical that no dead man is aloud to leave heaven or hell to come to the "real world" so, if you're christian, you don't have to believe in ghost as a soul of death people...

Like Nightfly, this poll is too black and white . There's no room for grey areas - and I'm not being flippant.

I had some experiences in a house I owned back in the early 80s that I simply cannot explain . One of these events took place in the presence of others and two or three others involved just me. I didn't see a human form or white or grey area misty beings moving or anything in that traditional / fantasy sense that others may well claim to have seen. Each of these things occurred in daylight.

All I can say is that my personal experiences [ and I don't really want to go into them any further ] have left me , well , not a non-believer. I am open to the suggested existence of inexplicable forces because I have experienced such things . Paranormal ? Maybe . 'Ghosts ' in common parlance ? I cannot say.

I did some years later find out from a friend who was a relative of a former owner of the house that his wife had died in the house a number of years before I owned it and that he had experienced a strong desire to buy the house back to move into it. He never did . I moved on . The house has changed hands many times and it is still there. I have had no similar experiences since.

From my point of view, religiuos commitment or influences do not enter into it.

yes, me too.
also i am not afraid of death (ofc it would be very sad because im much too young to die) because i believe that my soul will perfectly exist without my body and sometime will live in onother body again.

I think that modern physics is much more bizzare and odd than any silly ghosts stories. If you feel lack of magic than learn physics. It is all magic !

No I don't. But then again I am sane

Perhaps we could have done with a sitting on the fence option in this poll as I couldn't vote yes or no to be honest. While I'm not totally convinced of the existence of ghosts I feel there's too many sightings and experiences by people for there to be nothing in it.

To be a big ninny, I will say that just because psychotropics are involved doesn't mean the involved aren't touching other dimensions. Many believe that these tools are required to open doors of perception.

I don't think this deduction is valid. If ghosts existed (which I don't believe at all) then that would imply the existence of things which our normal laws of physics don't apply to. Your idea of reflection of light is interesting, and yet another hint towards the non-existence of ghosts. BTW: They did have mushrooms and weeds back then ...

I thought I made it clear that I don't believe in ghosts.
