Do you believe in Ghosts?

[lemons]

if you non-believers saw a ghost would you believe in other things like god etc lol

No. Proof of ghosts would not lead me to taking that as proof of god.

Man, Ghosts don't exist, this is some light effect or something, if you start imagining ghosts your mind will change and maybe cause a psychological problem. If you believe God don't be afraid.

[Empired]

But the thing is, if someone did have proof of ghosts, actual rigid proof, then it would be accepted as scientifically accurate

And scientifically, it's pretty much impossible for something (like a ghost) to go through solids... Let alone bringing stuff like death/flight etc into it

Not to mention the word "paranormal" would no longer be correct

yes

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.

1) Lets see. Toward the scratches, again my nails are short and for me to cause the scratches that I've had on my back and legs would require me to either scratch my self multiple times where in that case my skin would welt not break the skin or glass would have to be in my bed. Neither were the case

2) Dishwasher theory, yea you could be right but then again I said no one touched it for hours, yea people were in the kitchen when this happened, but again no one touched it.

3) Indeed the house was old, however nothing was in the area where the stairs are should be causing those noises, under the stairs is the entrance to the basement, and we didn't have radiators we had furnaces so hot and cold air moves throughout the house in vents. Dripping Taps are too quite. Plus it was actual stomping noises and it wouldn't be caused by anything that you listed.

4) Toward the shadows moving, the lights weren't flickering nor moving, so that rules what you said out.

5) How are you going to tell me what I felt happen to me? When I was concious to experience it? I know the difference between tripping and getting pushed, and I was definitely pushed.

I don't really care if you believe in ghosts, demons, angels, etc. However don't go around telling people what happened to them, especially if you weren't there to experience it yourself.

[Jazz]

No, I've never experienced them to believe. A load of my friends try and make me believe, but you cant force a person to believe stuff. Its a bit like the jehovah witnesses coming around, asking me to join the light of the lord etc.

[Derrener]

I don't believe in them, no

You literally just repeated exactly what you said the first time just using slightly different words. I feel like I could copy you and repeat exactly what I said but using different words but it would be a waste of breath.

I don't understand people like you who ignore every single scrap of logic surrounding them and decide to make up crap to get their name and picture in the Daily Mail..

O/T: I think we can all agree I still don't believe in ghosts (A)

Once, when I was a younguun, I couldn't sleep at a very late hour. So I got up out of bed & walked through my living room to my parent's room. Omw my nanny, who was sitting by the television, was just motionless and her whole body was transparent-white. I swear. Kinda freaky so I bolted for it. To this day, I never forget and I'm not gonna lie, the dark still spooks me sometimes. :/
