Do you believe in ghosts?

[LadyChaos offline]

Ouiji board. It's impossible to spell if you've never seen it written out before.

Does anyone believe in ghosts? If so why? If not please explain. I do. I've seen them! I have a slight thing of the 6th sense (It runs in my family).

Exactly as I am. My family can see/feel spirits. I can feel their presence, and they give off a glowing color and feeling (usually despair) ... My brother hears them and possibly sees them, my sister sees and hears them. My mom has a mixture .

Exactly! I can tell some pretty freaky stories that happened to my grandmother and my cousin's houses. My house is also haunted. People who can see/feel spirits are known as 'Sensitives' I think. Daisymay I'm Roman Catholic - I STUDY the Bible. The girl dripping blood thing - she may be what's known as a stay behind. Does anyone have any of her person belongings at the school? Something that was really personal? Sometimes ghosts are connected to an item and can be brought back with it. Don't use a weje (I don't know the spelling but that's how it pronounced) board! Those things can get dangerous!

Really though! Ouiji boards are all like "Hey demons, let's hang out, 'kay?" o____o

But uh... 6th sense and stuff.... >>; Different story. (I believe that people don't necessarily have to be born "Sensitive" but ya thats just me... Thankfully I haven't come into contact with any sort of entities. (though I still don't necessarily belive in ghosts).. cuz I would be freaking out like so bad. xD;;

I have lived in a Haunted House, my dad has, a few of my friends have, so I basically believe. What's the point of doubting, the evidence is quite astonishing anyway, I mean, hello, I saw it.

[YDV offline]

Yeah, but are you sure that what you saw is absolutely, positively, exactly what you thought you saw?

[Overcaffeinated Sloth offline]

Definately not. I'd get an acual priest to bless the dorms with a holy bible and stuff.

Get my cousin's roomate, Andrea. She like, drowns everyone in Holy water when you go to visit. She broke my cousin's TV by pouring the stuff on.

ANd While I don't believe in ghosts, I believe in spirits. my family has a tendency to "Sense" things like that... And we each kind of have onnections. My mom's is to kind of, well, subconciously sense spirits, and I get premonitious dreams. It's kind of creepy. Like right now, I can feel my Aunt and Grandmother.

It's good to hear that there are so many sensitives hear.

I myself am quite advanced, I can see, hear and communicate with the spirit world with the help of my spirit guide Claud.
I haven't been in many "haunted" houses but I have done house visits for people who belive their house to be haunted.

My worst experience came when we (my friends and I) were investigating an old house which was reported to house the devil. When we got there I clearly picked up several negative spirits which would cause the feelings people had felt there.

We went on and decided on using a Ouiji board only because I was there to be the presiding medium. A very violent spirit had decided to join us that night and I was asked to find out as much as I could about this spirit man. Sadly I concentrated too hard and ended up channeling the spirit instead.

When I came out of the "possessed" state I was told I had become exceedingly violent and abusive. I was very verbal to the team and threatened to kill them. Luckily one of my friends knew how to get me out of it. I couldn't walk for a week because my legs had become numb.

That was a year ago and I am still not intimidated by the World Of Spirit.

For the most part, I enjoy contact with spirits...most are positive...I found out a bit more about the history of the grounds here...a few people died here way back in the war era here in louisiana...so they are sorta staying around to see what happens here...they can leave whenever they want, but they chose to visit here, and I dont mind.

....I don't mean to offend you or anything, but I find that extremely hilarious because it was so foolish. I mean, from what I understand, you willingly allowed yourself to be POSSESSED? Do you have some sort of death wish? Yeah, sure, maybe you didn't mean to "channel the spirit" or whatever, but why would you attempt in the first place? If I'd heard of anything like that I'd move as far away as possible.

Yeah, and I have a spirit guide named Bob. He like tomatoes.

[Crocodile offline]

The thing is, a spirit person cannot harm you for you have an energy field that a spirit does not, that or Earthly life.
Channeling is more dangerous for the people around the medium than the medium themselves. I did it because I knew the above things and I also had my spirit guide Claud with me.

I also enjoy my contact with the spirit world. As long as they do no physical harm or scare the living daylights out of me spirits are welcome.

For 5 years now I've been doing research on ghost and everything to that nature. I sort of have a sixth sense. My sixth sense is either getting premonitious dreams, or getting a feeling that I've been somewhere before. Ghost have always caught my eyes.

[Rail Runner offline]

they play around with me sometimes...like when I leave the apartment and close my closet, bathroom, and bedroom door, I will come home to find them all open again, when I know that no one has been around...harmless fun..or sometimes when I open my icebox door and im going to get something out, they will close it after I step away...and I know it wont close on its own...things like that...it keeps my life interesting.

This confirms something for me, not only do spirits and ghosts exist, but you keep your sense of humor and thoughts after death.

What if someone was some deranged axe-wielding maniac? I don't think I'd want a ghost like that haunting the place where I live... A mischievious ghost is alright, one with a good sense of humour.

[Insanity Hero offline]

There are levels to show how dangerous a ghost is. Level five is the highest it can go. This level shows that a ghost can pick up objects and throw them, turn on lights freely, push or pull a person, open and close objects. Normaly the level fives are demonic.

Hmm - not sure about ghosts per-se, what I do believe though is best described by Shakespeare;

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy."

In my life I have had one experience which I can term as 'supernatural', but I've seen immumerable small things - coincidences, chances, freak occurances which although easy to rationalise, suggest something deeper.

There are powers in the universe that verge beyond the world in which we live - religious, or spiritual, or natural, or supernatural, or possibly we simply lack the scientific know-how to currently explain them. Either way these exist.

I profess to enjoying TV shows like 'Ghosthunters', where people stay overnight in environments with histories of hauntings, and frequently freak occurances will occur which suggest a presence - whether I accept their findings and observations or not I'm undecided on, but I keep my mind open.

My best experiences with ghosts are those of a fictional kind - I love a supernatural thriller - for example I've just finished watching a TV movie about a possessed WW2 submarine, which although ludicrous, was very compelling.

Equally compelling are the 'true' ghost stories, the ones which are backed up by record - for example in December 1957 there was a terrible train crash in a London suburb due to heavy fog - two trains collided under a bridge which then collapsed onto the wreckage - to this day passengers at the nearby station, Lewisham, have professed to hearing the wails of the trapped and dying after darkness falls, especially on foggy nights or in December.

There are far more things in Heaven and Earth...far far more...

I can't quite say that I can sense things, but I hear and see things a lot, whether they're really there or not, due to a traumatization I developed as a child from a house we used to live in.

I never believed in ghosts until we moved to the first house we ever really owned from the apartments we previously lived in. A widowed woman and her two young boys owned the house, and she said that her husband died of a heartattack. A-Okay. No problem. What she didn't tell us was that he died in that house. I was only five when we moved in, and we stayed until I was eight.

I was terrified of the hallway in that house. I didn't even know why. My parents' bedroom was at the far right end of the hall, while the bathroom was at the left end, with me and my sister's rooms sandwiched between them. My mom had her bed positioned to the western wall of her room, right in front of the door, and she had her TV on her dresser. I would normally sit at the foot of her bed and watch TV with her, but always begged her to shut the door. She usually told me no, and I'm not sure if I ever told her just what I saw in that hallway. I usually saw a really tall figure, a man, outlined in silver or white. Holding something. I didn't know what it was, or at least I don't remember now.

If I left the door open in my room, I could see straight into the hallway to the stairway and the banister. Something was ALWAYS on the steps, or in the hallway, looking at me, or passing by. A trick of the light, possibly, but it scared me so badly.

I only had one real "experiance" with the ghost. My friend, Kayla, and I were in the basement play-room. Now, this basement wasn't suitable for a playroom, since one side had a crappy false carpeting and the other side was all cobwebs and darkness. Kayla paused and looked at me for a second, and said "Does your mom have the TV on?" I listened, trying to figure out what she meant. I heard voices too, but couldn't make out what they were saying. A man and a woman. My mom was at work. I said this, and Kayla and I looked at eachother... and ran. As soon as we reached the top step and walked into the kitchen, the voices stopped.

It wasn't until I was ten years old and we lived somewhere else did my mom tell me about what she had seen in the house. Before we moved in, she and my dad were repainting the upstairs walls. My dad stepped out to go get breakfast, and asked if my mom wanted anything. She was standing at the banister, leaning over it. "Coffee! Decaf!" She heard the door close and the car rev up outside. Then something said just behind her, "Decaf?"

She saw it a few times other than that, and it would follow her in the hallways and sometimes come into her bedroom. She told me that an old woman's ghost was also there, but a lot less menacing than the man.

One time, all of us heard it. My dad would usually play video games with me when I was little, and we were just finishing up Mario 64, and my mother was standing just behind us, as we proudly watched the ending credits. Then something started squeaking. It sounded like someone was jumping on my sister's bed. My dad grabbed a baseball bat and went upstairs. But my sister had left earlier that evening and nobody was in the room. The squeaking stopped when he opened the door.

Toys used to move around in my room when we were downstairs. I had a pink Barbie car when I was little, and it usually sat on my floor. My dad claimed it was because the floor was unlevel, and that it was moving because the floor was on a downward slant. It never happened when I was in the room, though. And I ask you, how does an unlevel floor cause a car to move back and forth?

I think the man that haunted the house was the husband of the woman that lived there. He had had a heart attack in my mother's room, though the landlady conveniantly left that detail out. I think he was looking for his wife, since he never got to say goodbye.


A lot of things are wrong with me since then. I'm deathly afraid of hallways, lit or not, open doors, mirrors, and vents. For some reason.


And yeah, I've seen a ghost in a nearby school. Rowan University has the ghost of some stupid teenage kid that was going to pull an April Fools prank or a Halloween trick of some kind... don't remember. Stupid boy accidentally hung himself. (I think you can find this legend on snopes.com.)

I had something in a black cloak follow me around all day. I've heard footsteps. One time my radio turned on (the creepy thing was I had it on CD and it turned to radio). I always feel someone watching me. I hear my name called when I am all alone. That's some of the stuff that's happened to me. I don't know if any of you know where Coniat(sp?) Lake Hotel is but there was a huge fire that destriyed 1/2 the building, many people died. We stayed there over night (My dad 'forgot' to tell us it was haunted). It was so creepy. The minute we got there I could tell something was wronge. We heard stuff at night and found sand in the bathtub. Also the next morning a bat was flying around the lobby. I'm never going back.

Evil Ghosts & Spirits are people who died and went into H*** instead of Heaven.
But, they need God's permission to haunt someone. If God doesn't allow them to
scare anyone, the won't. And, it is not cool. This stuff is serious business. Watch
what you say. And read the Holy Bible.

Ya? Where have you got it in Bible? Where have you got that people go to hell or heaven?

When people die, there are no more thoughts, no more dreams.. They wait, "sleep"(Gospels) to the Final Judgement. If they stay everywhere, they do in God's memory, who can resurrect them.

All these ghosts are angels who listened to Satan instead of God(Genesis). Now they haunt stuff(Gospels again!). And they exist - read the Holy Bible

And yes - haunting/posessing is no funny thing.


Thinking my way, you got to see that EVERY CONTACT WITH SPIRITS IS DANGEROUS TO YOU AND CAN CAUSE HARMFUL EFFECTS. STOP IT NOW. YOU CAN GET POSESSED!

Arka .You mean the people in the sheetss or real ghost .well to be horest my girlfrined is **** scary of them.So basicly yes I do been some walks along us yet it still a mystery

[Crocodile offline]

I have a difficult life with being sensitive due to the fact that both my parents are complete non believers. My mum is open minded but my Dad says that he hasn't seen a ghost, then they don't exist.

We were staying in a hotel down in Worcester called the Old Bell In.
One day when we were playing cards the kettle started to boil. Only the thing is, I was the only one who had been near it but that was a whole 2 hours before hand. Oddly enough, to start the kettle boiling, the switch needs to be flipped UP.
I felt the presence of a man, very clever, young and slightly bewildered.

When we were down in the dining hall a saw a picture and said that that was the man, the owner then told us that he had died in our room and that he was the one who lay the plans for the Old Bell In.
