Ghosts and such

[Meiscool-2]

The pictures you post in the Photo thread are so low quality, I can't really tell, but I'll believe you.

I kinda believe in ghosts, but not in the same way that most people do. I figure there are spirits in the world, good and bad (angels and devils, whatever you want to call them) And I figure they do hang around, and for whatever reason, they do occasionally show themselves.

Now the way I see it, the ghost you're seeing is not a ghost of whoever they look like. It is a spirit that appears like that person, for whatever reason, perhaps to instill fear, or to give closure.

I can't really prove my theory, but I do think it makes sense. For instance, a good spirit or angel might appear to someone as their loved one, helping that person gain closure. Or a not so good spirit or demon would appear to give that person fear. When you're terrified you begin to question things, and when you see a ghost, you begin to believe a number of new things about the afterlife.

Well, that's my 2 cents. I have no idea if it's correct.

I don't believe in ghosts at all.

Many of these so-called ghost stories are either a) slightly strange things happening that people can't explain (lights flickering? Yeah, that has nothing to do with bad wiring. Must be the ghosts) or people that are very tired / confused / stressed / drunk / otherwise not at their best seeing something totally normal but being weired out by it.

Lots of people WANT to believe in ghosts because it's something in real life that no one has an answer for yet. People enjoy thinking there are vast strange unexplored parts of our world out there that they have seen a small glimpse of. Most people aren't beyond slightly exaggering what they really saw to make a better story, or just making up the vast majority of it out of nothing.

Wow, everyone here seems to believe. That's boring. Let's hear some naysayers! :p (that was before I saw Sai's post)

Anyways, I'm not really sure what to think, but I have several theories. The one that is most prevalent in my mind is that the remains of dead people (spirit, soul, whatever you want to call it) stay here on Earth, but are normally unable to interact with the physical world. But the remains are made of some sort of energy, so when parts of these come into contact with sources of other types of energy (electricity, for example), they absorb it and become able to manipulate matter, talk to humans, and generally interact with our world. This is a bit more scientific, as it supposedly gets colder when a ghost enters the room (they're absorbing the energy in the air atoms), and that ghots are drawn to electrical devices. Of course, like all ghost theories, it's pseudoscience at best, since we can't really test it.

I SEEN DEM GHOSTS
Just because I'm always drunk doesn't take away the credibility of my ghostitude.

No way Harv, you're so whack.

True Sai, and the same applies to most ufo sightings. However, there are many like me that never want to call something a ghost for fear of confusion. But when odd things occur, I do beliebe in them. Have you ever heard the reports of ectoplasm? Strange gelatinous, unidentifiable substances which come from seemingly nowhere? Or areas in the middle of a street where the temperature is DRASTICALLY lower than around it? Or of injuries obtained in sleep with makings unidentifiable by anything near or on the victim, including fingernalis and teeth? Have you head the story of the woman who kept seeing a house in a dream in England, then she came to America, saw that house, and when a butler answered the door he **** himself because she was the ghost he had seen for months. Its things like those that I believe in ghosts.

Being as people are known to lie, or exaggerate as Harvey said it can make it a bit hard to believe in ghosts. I guess it's from self experience that would make a person believe.

You two may as well go and say "People lie, hence, nothing is true about anything" if thats your answer.

I don't believe in ghosts.

I believe in demons posing as persons, for I have, e, been through it freakishly.

I have seen the interior of a house shake incontrollibly while I was outside (saw i thru an open door) . And no it wasnt an eartquake.

I don't think the human spirit stays after one passes away. We would be overrun by ghosts by now since countless of people have died since this earth begun to spin.

^ that's why I believe in reincarnation.

I believe in ghosts. I believe that they are all the emotions of the dead, as has been said previously. They have conciousness though, and are basically a 2nd life. When a woman is impregnated, a random ghost enters her body and joins with the embryo, becoming the child. That's just how I see it.

I had a 'sorta' ghost story. One time I woke up, and was laying in my bed, and SOMETHING touched me on the back of the head. I looked around. There was no one in my room, and nothing fell. I think it may have been my best friend, who had passed away a few weeks ago, he was playing tricks, which he kinda always did in life.
