Hello My fellow Mylotters, Lets discuss about one of the most interesting,scary and all time intriguing topic. I have seen many postings on the internet that some people have died after taking pictures accidentally with ghosts in them ,have seen ghosts in lifts,their apartments and all sorts of scary stuff. I know almost everyone of you would have come across such sort of weird stuff. Do ghosts really exist? If any of you have really seen any ghost or had any experience of that sort do share with us all about it definitely.

Personally, I do believe in ghosts. I have had experiences that I can only explain by thinking that it's ghosts. I don't think that I can explain some of my experiences any other way. At least, I don't think that I can.

Well, I've had a lot of encounters with them, as my first encounter was when I was 12 and I am now 21. The first was I felt cold hands touch my arms, but I was alone, in my bedroom, on a warm summer day. There wasn't any air conditioning. I'd briefly see people enter a room, but when I'd enter the room a second later, the room was completely empty. A lot of time, I'd feel the presence of someone, who wasn't there. These are just some examples. Just some things that I can't explain.

I think yeah, they should exist. But who really knows for sure? I want to visit a haunted house so bad. LoL. I'm not scared I just want to believe in it but I can't believe it till I see/feel/interpret it some how. But there's quite alot of things unexplained, and sometimes science proves things otherwise. It's possible that what our ancestors/lesser informed beings has interpreted long ago as UFOs are really just some kind of physical phenomena like lighting balls in the atmosphere and stuff like that. There's so many things that could play with your mind but it's really what you interpret it as is what makes the difference. We don't know if we all see things the same way, and for each person the world is a little different. It's probably like looking at a cloud and seeing all types of shapes and things, or looking at a complex pattern and seeing almost anything your mind could create. I've never seen a ghost in my life. But for me, I think such a thing could exist but they don't have to actually be visible. There's so much things that exist that we can't see but it's actually really there. I think if they're not part of this world, or realm if you want to say, then there's no reason why we would even feel them as a cold breeze or spot. Such things could most likely be some physical phenomena in the area concerned. No ghost has ever rebooted my PC with EMI waves so far. But if you could send one my way, i'd be grateful for making me believe in it.

I have seen and heard ghosts, but as a scientific mind, I am not yet ready to swear my mind wasn't projecting somehow. Anything based on our perception of reality is filtered by our minds and the human brain is still pretty mysterious!

When my grandpa, my mom's father, had passed in October of 97, I used to smell his scent a lot. It was really distinctive and it came out strongly especially during the holidays and mom's birthday. It was like that a lot before we had moved. I smelt it slightly before helping my auntie move out the apartment she and grandpa had shared for years too. When my husband's mom passed the year before, there was this particular song by Anita Baker called "Just Because" would play all the time when we get in the elevator or walking down the street. He told me that was one of his mom's favorite songs. Coincidence? Maybe but it was a bit weird for a moment. I never seen a ghost or spirit but I do believe that they do exist in some form.

I've never seen a ghost in my life before and I will never ask to meet one :D But i do believe that ghost exist but they will not harm us. Why do ghost wanna harm us if we never do anything against it. Nice discussion though. I get scared easily with ghost but I enjoy watching scary movies.

Hey Pal, Nobody would definitely want to meet a ghost,but why do think they stay among us even after they die? where exactly should they have gone? Why do they want or are compelled to stay among humans? where is their world?

Hi DAREDEVIL, Why do you think that ghosts are present only when you are alone? are they scared when the other members of your family are at home? They do exist and they do exist at all times i guess.So you better be careful and carry a lamp even when all your family members are at home. Cheers and have a nice day!

Yes, they do, but in a totally different form than you might expect. A modern day ghost is gravity (yes, I mean the physical concept of gravity.) We all believe in it, but there is absolutely no way of proving that it really exists without a priori assuming that it exists. Then you can say, look, I let go of that apple, and it falls down, so gravity MUST exist. No, what exists is an observable phenomenon (the falling apple) and our interpretation of the why. Yes, ghosts exist.

I do believe that there are ghosts and spirits. I am from a town that has a lot of ghost stories and everything like that. I swear I have had some experiences in the past.

I think that it would be naive to think that there wasn't another plane of life amongst us. I believe that ghosts exist but have never really had an actual encounter myself, I have heard many tales from those I trust. I think that television and film portray ghosts as scary flesh eating, revenge seeking beings that haunt our world but I think that the reality can bring people hope. Their passed Granny standing in the window when playing with their kids in the garden, their missed parents standing at the back of a ground cheering them on when making their first public speech perhaps. I think that the belief that your loved ones may still be around us should create a warm feeling.

Hi, Yeah definitely agree that the television and movies have made these creatures extremely scary.If they were portrayed as silent spectators and our mute watchers there would never have been such hype created over this topic and definitely nobody would have ever cared about it. But the way movies and the television portray them as zombies and revenge seeking,flesh eating gross creatures has scared the wits out of us and changed your perspective towards them!

i believe they do, i never really seen anything of ghostly activities but i have heard many stories from family members that lead me to believe in ghost very much so.

Well, I have experience a lot supernatural things. Does ghost really exisit? Yes they do. Most of the time ghost have unfinished business. Thats why they have not cross over. When taking picture ghost can show up in them or you see steam of white lines in pictures. That also happens. Have you ever felt some one is watching you? But there is nothing there. All because you don't see it doesn't mean they are not there. What kind of werid thing? Like having your name call but your the only one home. I have experience these things and more.

I do not believe that Ghosts exists but many believe that they do exist because they had some experiences which do no have reason, I think that it all in our perception that ghosts exists, even I have some experiences for which I cannot provide any reason but still for me they do not exist. one weird stuff I experienced was I had a perception that someone entered my room and after reaching my hostel room I realised that I have locked it and there is no chace someone can enter in the room...For some time I was not able think aboout but after I some time I realised it was my perception and nothing really happened in the way I saw.

I really think ghosts do exists becuase of my personal experience but i guess people are more sceptical than others and other people have dodgy eyes so they play tricks on them haha, and when we're tired we tend to see things move too so i don't know maybe theres an explanation for everything, maybe in this case it was a ghost maybe just something in the corner of your eye.. but we only believe it if we want to, nobody can say oh well that wasn't a ghost because they wasn't there.. so just believe what you wanna believe and not what anybody told you :) you either saw it or you didnt
