Do you believe in Ghosts?

[Lanyon]

Load of patheticness lol

[karter]

No but I would like to believe that they are real

[geo]

no, i don't think so. i think i used to believe there were ghosts but now i really don't, and i hope ghosts don't exist either lol

[-Amyy]

Yes I believe in ghosts, I've never actually seen one but I like to think there's something there after death

[Kardan]

I'm gonna say I'm unsure, because there's no evidence that they definitely do or don't exist, so who am I to say whether they do

I'd like to think they're real tho, would be quite interesting

How can you have evidence of something that doesn't exist?

[Empired]

Yep. I've had too many experience with the Paranormal for me not to believe.

I've woken up with these long scratch marks on my back and legs, however when I would check my bed there would be nothing in it that would explain the scratches, and my finger nails aren't long enough nor sharp enough to cause the scratches I've gotten.

The dishwasher has turned on by its self and its one of those dishwashers that needs human interaction but no one touched it for hours.

I've heard footsteps go up and down the stairs at night.

I've seen shadows moving in the basement yet there was nothing physical moving and the basement doesn't have any windows so it wasn't a car or somebody walking down the street.

I've been pushed down the stairs, but it wasn't like I tripped or misstepped, but actually pushed.

Hi ok. Usually if I don't agree with someone's beliefs I try to understand them or at least accept them. But that is the biggest load of twaddle I have ever heard.

1) Even the shortest fingernails can scratch things. Unless all ten of your fingernails have been surgically removed, you will be able to scratch your legs. Also, you can scratch your legs with your feet/toenails.

2) It's much more likely that someone forgot that they'd turned it on than you've got a ghost who's just addicted to cleaning your house.

3) All houses move. It doesn't have to be windy, the house doesn't have to be old. For example, if you try standing as still as possible, you will still find yourself moving simply to stay balanced. Obviously inanimate objects wouldn't sway as much as a human would, but they still have to move just a fraction or they'd fall down.
Also:
-Dripping taps
-The air moving round your radiators
-Dishwasher/washing machine could have been on
All reasonable explanations. There are plenty of other explanations too, I just don't have the energy to think of them.

4) Oddly, inanimate objects make shadows. Also, just because the shadow was moving doesn't mean the object itself was. The source of light could have been moving/flickering, therefore making the shadow look like it was moving.

5) Oh, please.

Yeah so just to summarise: I think the people who do tend to ignore cold, hard evidence staring them in the face and just jump straight to the conclusion that their house is haunted. There is absolutely no proof of ghosts whatsoever. There's just a load of ghost stories that children tell at sleepovers and the occasional mad Cat Lady who wants to get some money out of the Daily Mail.

Do you not believe in any kind of coincidence at all? Coincidences happen every second all over the world. How come if you see someone you know while you're on holiday you just look at each other and go "oh it's a small world isn't it?" but then as soon as your dishwasher turns on unexpectedly you're just like MY HOUSE IS FULL OF THE PARANORMAL. Sheesh.

Ok I think I'm done now (A)

Oh yeah, I don't believe in ghosts.

As Charlie said its very easy to scratch yourself whilst sleeping. I've woken up numerous times Wirh scratches on myself and I have very short fingernails, so I doubt that was down to ghosts @ post Charlie quoted

How can you have evidence of something that doesn't exist?

Where's the evidence to say it certainly doesn't exist? There must be certain facts etc out there to say that it's physically impossible for stuff to happen etc.

[e5]

Never seen one but i'd like to think they exist so I voted yes

[Shockwave.2CC]

Yes, Yes I do and I do get scared about it sometimes
