Don't believe in ghosts, but I am, let's say 'unnerved', by the dark - it's a natural instinctive reaction that stopped our ancestors being eaten by bears and sabre-tooth tigers and ghost-stories were created to play on those fears. As for Kirlian cameras and photo's of ghosts - simple science easily explained, nothing unnatural about it, let alone supernatural.

Oh come on, ghost pictures are terrible. And how would a spiritual being be captured on film anyway? It makes no sense. Maybe you only thought you were in a normal state of mind. I'm not trying to insult you, but we don't really understand how the brain works, or why it doesn't work.

Ghosts have been captured on Kirlian cameras, so at least some physical proof does exist. I have however yet to see anyone capture any physical evidence of god. Ghosts are still something that haven't been totally explained and probably never will be but I have no doubt in my mind they exist. And I can make the distinction between my brain processing/thinking irrational things and rational things thank you very much. I've had plenty of experience with anxiety and paranoia problems, so I know what it's like to have experienced mental states in which I was far from being in the right state of mind and my personal experiences with what I believe to be ghosts all happened when I was feeling perfectly calm and of a good mood. Had I been feeling otherwise I would have been skeptical of what I saw/felt, but I don't feel I have anything to question if my mental state was in perfect working order at the time of the occurrences, nor was I intoxicated/on drugs at the times either.

I'm inclined to say that most/all unexplained phenomena is the brain incorrectly processing information. I believe in God, more or less, but that doesn't entail ghosts, at least in the traditional sense. Edited by Henry Plainview - September 29 2009 at 03:11 |

I voted yes FWIW.
I was always a skeptic for ages, but a lot of things I've read about the matter and even my own personal experiences have led me to change my mind. Mind you, I'm an atheist, so religion or any of that spirituality stuff doesn't really come into it for me. |

So do you believe in ghosts? And how do you define physical? |

If "ghost" means human-shaped figures who enter my room by the wall, then I think I don't believe in them.

Me and my friend are having an argument about how many people believe in ghosts. I will use this highly scientific, unbiased, random sample to prove my point. He has more faith in people than me.
