Do you believe in ghosts?

Have you ever had an (for lack of a better term) "encounter?" I am endlessly fascinated by the concept of the supernatural. I have friends and relatives who claim to have seen or had some sort of experience with otherworldly spirits. I'm not sure what to believe, though I always lean toward the idea that anything and everything is possible. As far as perhaps one day seeing a ghost, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I am frightened by the prospect that this could happen. I admit, a fear of the unknown. On the other hand, I in some ways desperately want to see a ghost, or have some sort of experience... perhaps to confirm in my mind that they do exist. Either way, I get an adrenaline rush just thinking about it...

A lot of us are fascinated by the concept of the supernatural. As, much as I am fascinated or interested, I would believe only if I go through an experience.

Having an actual experience is the only thing that would make me believe, 100 percent. Knowing (many) others who claim to have had an experience has me leaning toward believing. But, I will not be able to say for sure until the same happens to me.

I do not believe in ghost. i think a lot of people want to believe and often talk themselves into believing something that really never happened. The mind can play funny tricks on people.

I fully agree about the mind, and tricks it can play. Too often, I think some people will convince themselves of something, and will start to believe it only because they really want to. I REALLY want to believe in ghosts, I'll admit. But, I must remain skeptical.
