My mom told me that she saw my grandparents as ghost about a year after they died.And she has told the story many times.The past 10 years or so she has gotten more involved in the christian church.Now she says that there is no such thing as ghosts.Do you believe in ghosts?

I guess I'm one of those ppl that have to see to believe. I believe there are things we can't explain in this world, but I don't jump head first into every idea that comes down the river...ghosts being one of them. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Really,there are a lot of things out there that we can't explain.Only god knows.But your right we cannot just jump into head first.There are a lot of people out there that do that.

I remember when I was a kid I believed in Santa Claus until I caught my Dad and Stepmom putting all the presents under the tree...then I knew he didn't exist. I guess if a ghost popped up in front of me, I'd definately believe in them then. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Hello Little Lady, hope all is well with you. On to your topic, I have never seen a ghost, I do believe that there are ghost, spirits or whatever you want to call them. I feel that I have felt lost love ones around me, is it a ghost, spirit or whatever, I don't know. I know many people who believe and say they have seen ghost before. These people are perfectly sane, I believe them. I am a Christian too, as a Christian I believe in a being that I have never seen. Some people believe in UFO's, some don't. I am one who believes, I have seen one before. I think for some people thhe idea of a ghost is scary to them, its easier for them not to believe. Do you believe in them??

Wow. I wander why she changed her mind about it? I have never seen a ghost myself so I am not sure if I believe in them or not. I think I would have to see it in person before believing in them.

Well I know i saw my Mom about a year after she passed away..It was just a short moment but she was there...I do believe that people can show themselves to you after they die....Your MOm has been convinced that there is no such thing as ghost , so now she thinks it was just her imagination..In her heart she knows but now she don't want to admit it because she has been told there is no such thing as ghost...

Yes,I am wondering if she really believes now that there is no such thing as a ghost or that people at church just convinced her that there is no such thing.

I believe in ghosts. I've always have had experiences. Most people in my family are the same way. When I was very young, I thought I saw my mom go into her bedroom. I followed because I had to ask her something. There was nobody in the room. My mom was in the bathroom on the other side of the house. When I told my mom and dad this they said it was my grandma from my mother's side. I never knew her. She passed away when my mom was two ish. They had seen grandma too on occasion. In middle school, when I would get up at night to go to the bathroom, I had to walk by our padio door. We didn't have any curtains for it then. A few times i saw a very scary looking man in our backyard. He was floating, he had no feet. I saw him three times. All three times he was in a different place in the yard. He was a scary man. He resembled the bad man from the Poltergeist movies. He was always smiling at me. After this my parents put curtains up right away. My neighbor, who was half a mile down the road. She saw him too. Her parents thought it was just a peeping Tom or something like that. The one night my friend was watching TV very late and looked out her front window. She noticed the reflection did not move when she moved and realized there was someone or something there. This was in winter. Her dad went outside. He said there weren't any footprints anywhere in the yard. My cell phone has rung at night when it is turned off. I got up once around 2am and herd the dish waher running. I turned it off and opened it. It was empty. I asked my husband if he had started it. He said no and looked at me very fuuny. My smoke alarm has sounded when I have the batteries out to change them. I think it's my grandma. She likes electronics. The smoke alarm thing happens to my sister too. The smoke alram stops when we say something to my grandma. (The grandma on my dad's side). Do you watch Ghost Hunters?
