It's that time of year I suppose. In the spirit of Halloween, which is less than 2 weeks away, I come asking you a question about a topic that is considered scary, and is a popular topic for this spooky holiday.

So, the question is simple: Do you believe in ghosts? Yes or no? I'm not asking for experiences you may have had with ghosts, but share them if you want to. Mostly, I'm asking why you believe or do not believe in ghosts?

I await your responses.

I don't, no. I don't believe in any of that supernatural bollocks and nobody has yet offered solid proof of any of its existence. So I'm quite happy continuing to think this! That doesn't mean I don't like getting into the spirit of Halloween, but I don't actually believe there's that kind of thing out there.

I guess I'm a skeptic on this matter. I don't currently believe in the existence of ghosts and those horrible television shows about the existence of the paranormal fail to convince me otherwise. I have seen horror films more convincing than that drivel. On the flipside to that, if solid evidence could be presented, I would be more inclined to change my stance on the matter. But alas, all that exists is anecdotal evidence, most of which is sketchy at best.

Yes, I do believe in ghosts. I've had few experiences with them. For example, when I was reading articles about them and related stuff (like Ouija boards), the switch on a power strip (which powers the other PC in my room) has turned on by itself.

Do you want something else? I want able to turn on my PC without touching the switch and put this on camera! Video below.

Weird, was just thinking about this!

Maybe because it's almost Halloween, but who knows haha.

I love learning about the paranormal and watching shows on TV about it and researching it online...It fascinates me so much, to think that there are spirits on the other side (what ever the other side may be) that are existing besides us.

I'm very skeptical about it, but yes, I believe in ghosts. I believe that residual energy can hang over a place that has had a lot of things happen there. For example, hospitals. A lot of people experience heavy emotions in hospitals, and some even experience death there (whether it be themselves or a loved one). I feel that these strong emotions stay there, because they are so heavy and the building seems to soak them up. (Wait...is death even an experience? Or do you just pass and you're just gone?)

I absolutely love learning about ghosts and talking about it.

Can't you tell? :lol:

Not... exactly. I don't actually believe someone can haunt you from the dead. But I do think there are other supernatural beings in this world, separate from humans, and I can't explain why. There have been so many recounts from people across history about something odd or unexplainable happening to them. They can't all be meaningless. I just think there's more to the world then science tells us.

I don't believe in ghosts. I like the idea of ghosts, though. The reason I don't believe in them is because I don't really have any solid beliefs on life after death (if there is such a thing). It's as simple as that, really. My thoughts on the matter don't really go any deeper than that.

I personally don't believe in ghosts. I believe that the mind sees what it wants to see/believe in, therefore as I am a disbeliever, I will most likely never encounter what some explain to be a supernatural experience.

Yep I do believe in it but it is not the scary mojo we see floating around. I don't believe in demons and that kinda crap. I do believe there is something more though just not that scary wicked stuff

Hm, well, you can't have Angels (good) without Demons (Evil) in the mix Angel of Darkness. I suppose than you don't believe in Angels either :hmm:?

Demons are often exaggerated, I believe they're usually things like spirits of fear or spirits of worldliness and stuff.
But not something dumb like they're people that died or something creepy and gross like that.

I probably wouldn't sleep well at night if I didn't believe in Angels. There are so many scary things in the world :puppy:. Like, people in clown suits.

Well there is no evidence angels or demons exist. Only from stories and the bible. What I mean to say is that I don't believe in the way it is brought upon us. I personally think you create your own heaven or hell by what you believe.

How I view it is Angel's and Demon's aren't like fairies, they don't just disappear because you don't believe in them.
But I do see where your coming from.

Usually people don't believe in these things at all, which I guess has to do with fear or something.
Your perspective on the other hand is very open ^^.

People often have forced a fake sort of perspective on everybody when it comes to things like that, sometimes its just best to be skeptical.
