I personally do not believe in ghosts, but I know a lot of my friends do, and some even claim to have experienced them in different ways. What do you think about ghosts? Do they exist? Have you ever experienced something related to them? Would love to hear your opinions about this!

i've heard lots of stories about ghosts and things supernatural but i haven't experienced them personally. With the way my friends, even my relatives talk about it, it seems to be really happening. Though i also don't believe in these things, i still sometimes get cautious when i go to place that's dark or if i hear noise and see that no ones around. :)

oh i believe in ghost. I know for a fact that i have had one in my home before. i remember one day coming home thinking no one was here. I had to go to the bathroom so i ran in the house and went right the bathroom. once i walked in there i saw someone walk into my son's room. i thought i was here alone. so i screamed son's name. I said Hey Vic i'm home... Hello Vic i'm here! nothing. i finish in the bathroom go down the hall to my son's room and no one is there! i couldn't believe it... no one was here. true story

i live in an apartment building. yeah the building is old and I have lived there now for 14 years. that was the first time i had dealt with something like that before. a few times after that over the years i would see someone peeking around the corning looking at me, but when i look back no one is there. that use to happen often. but in the last few years i have not dealt with anything like that. most of the time i think it's my mother or father coming to check up on me and my children.

In my opinion, I feel that the phenomenon of "ghosts" is adequately profilerated world wide and over sufficient centuries / millenia to say that it is certainly worthy of serious study. Unfortunately, many scientific circles still don't take it seriously, perhaps because it is so difficult to prove / dissprove and because solid evidence (photography, electronic sound recordings, spectrographic analysis etc) are so often either of poor quality or portrayed to be more than what they are. Often, on the TV shows where ghost-hunters run around dark castles, screaming their heads off, they are seen waving around temperature gauges and electrostatic field metres, as if they are some how experts in the fields of thermophysics and the electromagnetic spectrum. In fact, they do it just to look cool, and this really undermines the credibility of the ghost phenomenon for those who want to take it seriously. If ghosts do exist, first and foremost we have to decide what they might be and secondly how to detect and measure them in a way that scientists everywhere will appreciate.

I guess you do have a point that it is something that people have believed in for centuries, and it does indeed seem likely that there has to be a reason for that. I never thought of it that way before!

There were instances in my life that I was able to experience the presence of ghost. I even had one friend way back in college that was able to see it together with me. Well, I do believe them considering that I was a witness myself. I have also felt other things other than ghost in the course of my life. But gladly now, I do not see or feel them anymore.

Yes I believe in them but not every story of ghost. If you talk about experience , yes I have multiple experiences. Even once in my childhood where I have seen that, but unable to define. I was very scared. And other experience I had in my adulthood.

...i believe in ghost, although i haven't seen one in my entire life, or perhaps we have seen few of them and we just thought they are normal people..there was a line in the internet that says "in 200 people you meet everyday, 2 of them are ghost"..scary isn't? lol..if this is true, then probably ghost is around us, we just failed to notice them..i can't say that those people who have encountered or seen a ghost or have the ability to see ghost is lucky or not, but i wanna try it too..=)
