Do you believe in ghosts and spirits? I saw this home movie yesterday about a haunting in Connecticut where the priest said that those who are about to die or are dying are able to see the ghosts or spirits of the departed. I remembered when my mother was dying, she called the name of her mother many times and she acted like my grandmother was really there with us, she was reaching for something in the air. This gave me the goose bumps at the time, in spite of my grief. So, what do you think?

OMG! Talking about ouija brings to mind an experience I had during my teen years. I was a nonbeliever so I played ouija at home, alone and in the dark. The glass actually moved with out my finger on it and I sat there shocked, after which I ran for my life shrieking. LOl. It could have been mind over matter as they say our mind is real strong. Still....it is scary. Thanks for your response.

Hi princess8881! True. Even thinking of ghost experiences could be scary and could lead to sleepless nights again months and years after the experience. Lol. Thanks for your response.

hey... yes i do believe in ghosts and the likes. and yes that is true that when a dying person is waiting for his time, they are actually waiting for the ones they love who parted ahead of them to escort them. there was this incident, when my grandpa was in the hospital, he was 102 by that time. my cousins and i decided to stay for the night while the older guys go home. so we where there, i was with my two cousins. after dinner, we watched some random movies, grandpa was asleep that time. i told my cousins that it seems that we have company inside the room. c0z, i saw this somewhat a figure of a woman and some smoke type inside the room. so what we did was we stayed close to my grandfather. we were beside his bed when he was awaken and looked at us and said, "who is she? who are they?" pointing across his bed. we gaze to that direction but we all know that no one was with us. at the same time, grandpa was so disturbed by their presence and he kept waving his hands upwards to motion the cloud to move away. i looked atmy cousins and as if we perceived what were trying to say, i started to place my tiny rosary in my gramps hand and we, my cousins, said the rosary. we didnt stop until my gramps went to sleep. that time, we feel so terrified and we wanted to shout but cant. we wanted to run outside but cant. we all stayed up until the grown ups arrived in the morning. i left my rosary with gramps, it seems to keep him safe and undistracted. thank God, grampz didnt left that night.. we really thought that, that was already the night. happy mylotting to u and God bless!

Well, I believe that ghost and spirit do exist in another dimension, but I've got no knowlege what so ever about them more than that. If someone said that ghost or spirit could disturb us, it would be true but they would never be able to kill us or anything like that. Because God has created human being as te highest individual in this world. There are some factors that we have to take into account, too. Fantasy, halusination, and obsession. Those can also effect our way of interpretation toward ghost and spirit.

Wow! Did you happen to watch it in Star Movies? Bummer. I totally missed it. Anyhows, I'm sorry for what happened to your mother, but it really was creepy. Maybe it's because the souls of the dying can glimpse the soul of those who came to fetch them. I really believe in this stuff. That our departed loved ones would come to get us when we're going to join them. And I really believe in spirits and ghosts. I mean, how can we not? Where would we go when we die? Into nothingness? We got to have someplace to go. In addition, I have experienced paranormal disturbances and they really strengthened my belief in ghosts and spirits.

Yes I do believe that ghosts and spirits exists. I haven't seen any yet but I still believe that they exist. Maybe because of the stories from other people too or from movies and documentaries that I have watched. Even though I do believe in them and if I would have the choice, I prefer not see them or have any experience about ghosts. -)

Yes because I have them in my own house, and there is also a ghost that lives in the house across the street from me. The first ghost is a man in his 20's, the second is an eight year old child, and the others are four cats.

I just say hello and I talk to them. Make them feel welcomed. You really can't get rid of them, so you just learn to deal with them.

Well, I don't believe in the ghosts for what they show in movies, but I do have my personal concept of Ghosts. To put it philosophically, I think that the ghosts and the god are both the same thing: a ghost is nothing but a god turned inside out. When a person is faced with problems beyond his coping capacity, he starts praying to God to cast upon him the magic of his grace and suddenly, whoa, something incredible happens; the incident reinforces the man's faith in god and he attributes his good fortunes to God; he may be all right in doing so, and I don't bother to question his feelings; but come to think of it, who in the first place sprouted the problem into his life? Or who else could, if God had his wishes against it? Now this is what I call the Ghostly side of God. He is the ultimate playmaker who makes people dance to his tunes; the games are all His, the outcomes are all His - we are just the pawns; our life is one such game, a game of Snakes & Ladders: he himself sneaks in the snakes, he himself lays down the ladders - we just jump up and down; beaming with joy when up, screaming in pain when down. So, in that sense, yes ghosts do exist - whether as deformed devils with scary countenances and bizarre gestures, or as abstract hurdles that choke the life out of every breath we helplessly inhale, the fact of the matter remains to be alone.

Yes, I do believe it somehow. I have heard alot of testimonies similar to yours. Some people say that when a person is dying, oftentimes, the one who was very close to them meets them to go with them at heaven's door.

obviously right. i really believe in ghost or spirit because they are the spiritual body or let says,eternal body because they will never die any more nor they can be seen because they are spirit, an example of spirit or ghost is the air that we breath, air can never be seen nor chaste but you can feel them..so i believe that the ghost or spirit is true.

I believe that they are around for some reason though I have never seen any and I don't have any plans of wanting to see them. I have a lot of friends who have open third eyes. They say they see a lot of them walking around, trying to look for people who could see them. I once witnessed my friend pray so fast in one of the shrines. When I asked her why, she told me that there were lots of spirits around and she didn't want to be near them. I also have another friend who has been seeing spirits since she was a kid. Aside from spirits, she sees her angel and talks to him - Angel Michael.

I don't know if what i have seen are ghosts of just that I have a strong imagination. But just thinking about it gives me the creeps. I do have an aunt who could see them. I wonder if these people with third eyes become used to the idea of seeing ghosts or whether they are also sometimes afraid. Thanks for your response.

When My fiance's grandmother was passing, she talked to her deceased sister for hours upon hours, and told us all she was there. I've also heard children can see spirits. This I believe. My best friend passed away when she was 16, we were like sisters. A couple years later I gave birth to a little baby girl. When my best friend's family met her for the first time, it brought tears to their eyes. They showed me a picture of Wendy (my deceased best friend) when she was a baby. This picture was a spitting image of my little girl. About two years later I took my daughter to wendy's grave sight and told her that she used to be my best friend, but now is our guardian angel watching over us. I had not yet spoken her name to my daughter since her birth. On the tomb stone is a picture of Wendy, and she said "mommy, that's aunt wendy. i've met her before." Through fighting the tears, I realized how amazing yet utterly creepy this was. I guess its all in what you believe in.

I don't believe in ghosts and spirits. There has never been proof that ghost and spirits actually exist. Many times when people are dying they tend to hallucinate.

I do believe in spirits and devils. Ghost, if it got something to do with spirit, then yes. If not, I don't. For me, spirits are real while ghost are most likely never existed. I always think that people mistaken spirits for ghosts, that's why they say ghost exist. Well, different people got different believe.

I haven't seen any ghosts yet :D to be honest, in my life, I tend to believe it, but I also tend to disbelieve it. why? Because I'm growing up, learn about new things everyday, I learn more about thing that does really exist in front of my eyes and I got busy about it, so most of the times I forgot that Ghosts and Spirit are exist. If they are exist, then I have no problem believing it, if not then I'm happy too because I don't like ghosts and monsters, they are scary :DD I do really believe spirit is alive and exist though, and I believe that it is our spirit who does all the work and walk around inside our dreams in our sleep :D what do you think?

Yes I believe ghosts and spirits. These are all true and with our own bold eyes, we cannot see them. We must learn and develop the skills needed to see them and even talk to them. The same is through with the angels. They exist and are present but we cannot see them. These spirits are oftentimes accompanied by the evil spirits and used as a portal to distract our attention.
