Do you believe in ghosts?

Do ghosts exist? Many people claim they do and a whole industry has arisen on the premise that we can connect with the 'ghosts' (or spirits or souls or essence - take your pick) of the departed - spiritualism. Whatever our personal beliefs we cannot deny that there are some strange phenomena in this world. Have you ever had the feeling of a 'presence' in an otherwise unoccupied room? Do you know someone who claims to be visited by the spirit of a departed loved one? Have you had an experience which could only be explained by the presence of a 'ghost'? I have had one frightening and inexplicable experience which I could (if I was so inclined) put down to an encounter with a ghost. I am undecided but I don't laugh at those who are convinced.

I know they are out there. My son visits sometimes. He does things to let me know when he is here.

I lived in a house that had friendly ghosts in it.

Yes, the world beyond is closer than you think. My whole family had the gift of connection and I am glad for it. It has given me many moments of comfort from my late husband since he passed on.

I certainly wouldn't laugh at anyone who believed in them. I haven't ever seen one and don't mind if I never do.

What? With a name like yours I'd have thought you were a believer!

@ThreeTeddies No, I just like the name "Ghost", but I don't believe in them.

I had several experiences so I can say that I believe in "presences", because I cannot explain in other ways what happened.

It's a confusing one for me. I've seen them, I've interacted. I can't deny it. But I don't understand it.
