Do you believe in ghosts or hauntings?, A poll, state your beliefs! Options

[Crash]

I personally believe a little in them, but I'm not sure.

I believe because of many local stories, one is about a girl who was bit by a snake and died, there was raised a statue and sign after her, she died 1700-1800 somewhere. I was there once, unaware of it. That's one.

Well i'm neutral when it comes to things like this, i kinda believe

mind you speaking of ghosts and hauntings there has actually been a dog that has died nearby
and there is a small forest where it died well people have rumored that they can sometimes
see it's spirit walking around in there, but it's probably not true anyway.

That's one.

Thats two.

[Crash]

I meant one story

[Clazzy]

I did as a child, but I don't now. There's rational explanations for what people see as ghosts. Stories of ghosts never seem to give the same basic abilities of ghosts (for example, some can converse with the living and some can't) and they can't be recreated at will. And you never seem to hear about ghosts being seen by lots of people at once, it's people on their own who generally see them.

[Team Black]

Well, I believe demons and angels exist, but not human souls lingering around.

[Ixith]

Personally, I don't believe in ghosts or things being haunted.

I do have a story though, in which my Mom thinks she saw a ghost.
It was back in 6th or 7th grade in I think January or February and my mom and dad (this is before the got divorced) were watching a movie or something and my mom went back into her room and as soon as she opened the door she screamed. Then when we asked what happened she said she saw a ghost and that it looked like her dad's mom waving at her. Then like two days later we get a phone call saying that my mom's dad was found dead and that his viewing/funeral was gonna be in a few days.

i did when i was really young, now, i dont... i think the whole concept is a media jam now.

[Nod Strike]

Hmm, well. I sort of do. But in another way. Here's my explanation:

When a man dies, three things can happen, either, he can die happily, and move onto Heaven, providing he has been a good soul, ect. Or, he could die with things not cleared up, like he owes someone money. He then is trapped between Heaven and Earth, until it is paid, explaining why he is faded. Or he could just of been a bad soul, and go to Hell.

[Robo fish]

I will believe in ghosts when I will see one.

I will for certain believe then yes, thing is, a friend of mine and I were walking through the forest and we heard weird sounds (like footsteps) and then I saw something moving towards us, it might aswell have been a hallucination though. We both heared it but only I saw it. I was quite frighten after that.

[KingByng]

I gotta agree with Team Black

[Corsair]

Well, I've seen plenty of television shows and heard many stories, but I have no reason to believe in them

Perhaps if I actually experienced something I might

[jadems]

Me, personally, I believe them. There's something about the belief of the supernatural that I enjoy, coming back as a ghost and stuff

[Aztek985]

Pffft.

[Crash]

Pffft.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?

[Tartan Bunny]

if you believe in life after death and the whole god thing, you should believe in ghosts.
some stories are just hoaxes, but some have to be real.

[Aztek985]

What the heck is that supposed to mean?

That ghosts and hauntings is all a load of crap.

[Tartan Bunny]

until u see one for urself no one wil know....

[Attin]

Ghosts = crap
Person who sees these things is propably tired, sleepy, depressed or just insane...

Religion = crap
I really dont give a damn where i go after im dead, so whats the point of worshiping anyone?

Aliens = crap
There can be life outside there somewhere... but i dont think that i get to see any of those things during my lifetime...

Thats just my opinion...

[Aztek985]

Yeah and just a reminder please keep religion out of this thread.

[eXit]

Religion = crap

Well with that attitude you probably have alot of enemies...

As for me, i agree with Python.

[Slender Mang]

That ghosts and hauntings is all a load of crap.

Win Win Win

Ghosts are not real, but spirits are. There is a show on the discovery channel just for these things, and most of the time the spirit
remains and the people go running for their lives. Ghosts are real? No. Spirits are real? Yes, not as it says in the bible that ghosts are not real, people cannot come back from the dead, unless God said that the dead person is sleeping and makes Jesus or his prophets to wake em. Its said ghosts are fake, but that doesn't mean spirits are not, and if you call religion crap, I'm pretty sure at least 99.999999999 percent of the world will come after you with guns, *the 0.000000001 percent is you*.
If its on discovery and they says its true, then its real, but if scientists say its true, then its definitely real.

[Nimron]

Im not sure about the whole "Ghost" thing, as we don't have any Real proof that ghosts exist, im gonna have to say that they are totally made up.

Exactly. Well, maybe more like, "until you see one for yourself you can never know...". Analyzing videos or hearing about stories is no big deal, and no doubt scientists do that all the time. Ghosts are something you would have to disprove on your own and its really easy to do. Just find haunted place and go!

Staying away from popular tourist attractions would be an obvious decision I would think

However, that being said. You will get plenty of people that get scared easily who will go to the same place, and while you may have no stories in a haunted house they may have twenty. Naturally, who is everyone going to listen to.

Now like I said before, I have had no reason to believe in apparitions. But, by the same token, I've never been to an alleged haunted site.

[jadems]

@ Nimron
Why, could also state that without real evidence that Ghosts don't exist makes them real.

[ChielScape]

i *wish* they exist.
*cough*haruhi*cough*

[Slender Mang]

i *wish* they exist.
*cough*haruhi*cough*

[/offtopic]Yeah bleach <3[offtopic]

Noes they are fake how could you belive any one if only one person has seen it and has no proof

[Corsair]

For anyone who likes ghosts and all that stuff, this show is pretty fun to watch

Mind you, this is the very end of the episode after they've gotten all their evidence (Section 5/5 of the episode on Youtube), so if you want to see more of it you'll have to hunt for all five sections on there.
