Are you like me and roll your eyes when you hear someone tell about the ghost or demon or whatever they supposedly saw? There are so many people that lie for the attention or money or both so when I hear some of these ghost stories or demonic possessions,I'm like hoh hum. It's hard to believe anything like that when there is so much fraud. What is your opinion?

I'm one of the people that weird things happen to lol. I don't talk about it..though. So I don't roll my eyes or act indifferent. I'll be interested for a little bit, follow it and speculate if it's got even a semblance of truth to it, if it turns out to be a fraud..then blegh, whatever, lol. I believe there's alot that exists that science hasn't even begun to name..but I don't like to jump to conclusions..I do my research first, and my research is still goin' lol.

I wish more people did research things, honestly. Our world might be better off if they did..I might have better luck finding answers and things I try to research myself if they did..but ah well.

I'm glad you try to research first .Too many people just take the person's word for it at face value.

My opinion is that some people have big imaginations. LOL I dont believe in that stuff but it is funny to listen to some people who do. They can even scare themselves. LOL

I agree with you completely . I really do have a good old time listening to some of the stories,lol.Another thing why I have trouble believing is why would some people see ghosts and not others. If a ghost is gonna appear to someone,it's gonna appear to everyone close by not just certain people

I have not heard or come across anyone talking about ghosts and ghoulies. I would not believe in these stories if they did. They either did not have enough sleep or had too much to drink or maybe ate something close to bedtime. Whenever I eat something too close to when I go to bed, I usually have nightmares. People just make these stories up to get attention.

I don't either. I am in total agreement with you .they are either making these stories up for attention,they have a few screws loose ,or they have been nipping the bottle.I also think sometimes they actually think that they are being visited by ghosts but in actually it's just their overactive imaginations .

I do believe in ghosts and the devil, as well as God. But, a lot of people are just doing it for money or attention for whatever reason up their sleeves.

Those people make it so hard for others. Someone could actually have seen a ghost and I wouldn't believe it just becasue there are so many that are just trying to make money or get publicity.I wouldn't know if that person were really telling the truth or pulling my leg

I believe in ghost, ghoulies and demons. The Bible tells me that they exist. I am however kinda skeptical when it comes to stories about the supernatural. I only tend to believe the ones where several people over several years all unrelated to one another have seen or experienced the same things. I believe in hauntings but not so much possessions. I have had my own encounters with teh supernatural as a child, but I think children are more open to them since they are so innocent. As we get older, our minds close up the openings that allow us to experience the supernatural so easily. So it really takes a serious haunting for an adult to see the manifestations.

I am not sure if they exist though I don't rule out the possibility. What I do believe is that at long as you always act with a good conscience, there is nothing to be scared of. Yup, that's what I think. ;-)

i use to think like that until i started my job...it was built in 1897 its a mental institution. so you can think of the things that went on there over the years! we have lights turn on and off..garbage can lids open and close doors...they play music...werid i know but if you go into a closet upstairs and listen you can hear a piano playing! i wasent a believer until ive seen this stuff go on. so far though i havent had any face to face incounters and hopefully i dont ever!

I know there is a lot of fraud when chasing ghosts or the super natural, but I do think there is a realm that we don't understand or always get to see. I have odd occurrences happen, things I can't explain but none the less real. Those are more often with me, my intuition. I have never seen a ghost or anything like that.

I have never seen a ghost or anything like that.I did have an experience once that really freaked me out. I think it was actually something pscyological but you never know.

I was so curious yet so afraid to see them if they are real, i have experience the fog and cold air, one time on vacation, but i have seen no ghost along the way. Yes it is very hard to believe, until you see it to your self but then we have to respect every person's opinions about this, because not all of us have experience and proven ghost. But i believe in souls. I don't loke demonic possesion, it is pretty much.

I would be curious but don't know if I would exactly want to face a ghost or demon if such things are real.
