Actually , I don't know how to believe it. But this morning, my mother tell me a story about her friend who possessed something. Well it was a scary story. If that thing felt annoyed, it would follow us and possess us. The ghost said that the woman hadn't asked permission to him in entering the empty toilet. The ghost got angry and follow her for two weeks and finally possessed her. Well, if i were her, I wouldn't say'excuse me' either in an empty room. It's ridiculous. How about you? Would you say 'excuse me' before entering somewhere? I believe there would be a different story on each country..

I do believe in ghost. I've seen one, felt one, and heard one. I don't know the scientific reason why they exist. But a lot of us here can see it. Some are solid, pearly white and whispy. Some are even scary! Right now I am actually scared. And I am the only one awake.

hello beeh13u.... I believe you are chosen to accept the gift-the sixth sense. I don't know the scientific reason too... My suggestion is take your time to pray to God who create this universe...He has power above all...

I do believe i ghost. In fact, I can feel them and sometimes see them. There are good and bad ghosts, the one that possessed your mom's friend is a bad one and doesn't want his / her territory entered by anyone else. When I'm still living in parent's place, I've seen one who was watching my nephew (he's still a baby) while sleeping, I was shocked but the ghost looked like she's watching my nephew to ensure nothing will happen to him. Well, the ghosts there are nice, but there's also one instance where I experience a bad one. Me and my hubby's first apartment. I was left at home on Oct 31 around 10pm as my hubby need to go to work (he's on night shift). To avoid any bad vibes, since 2 more hours it's Nov 1, I told my husband I'll go to sleep so that when I wake up, it's already sunrise. I had this dream, well, it's not like am dreaming, it's the exact room where I'm in. There, lying on the bed, there's 2 ghosts looking at me on the window and they look mad at me.. When I turned my head on my legs, there's one woman held my legs tightly that I can really feel her fingers.. At that moment I woke up, It's just 12:30am. I cried and cried cause I was so scared and it seems that the ghosts doesn't like us to be there.

Well there is a tradition that we must and HAVE TO knock on the door before entering a hotel room, so that the "good friends" inside will know that we are going to use the room. Well, I do believe and have been following this for many years already. I respect them because afterall, they once lived on earth, right?

hello judgeironfist... Well, actually i don't get used to do that. I believe there is existence of a ghost. However, I believe we don't need to do that-asking permission to them. We have more powerful God. We better ask His protection.. thank you for responding...

I do, although I'm not really sure why....maybe because I believe in afterlife, and that everyone has a soul- so when you die there's a tendency that your soul stays here. I think I would say excuse me when I am in an unfamiliar and scary place... But i don't think ghosts are that bad- maybe some. But they are just a from of energy, so they can't really hurt us, but we've got to respect them too.

hello lady1993...thank you for your responding... I don't believe we have to respect them. The truth is that we have to respect our God, and they wouldn't dare to disturb us. In my opinion, even they in form of energy, they could hurt people who don't have relationship with God. They could possessed someone and hurt their body...

hello vizagsantosh... I don't believe it's all because of a psychological problem. Perhaps it's matter of a belief and culture differences between our country.

I believe in the existence of ghosts as the souls of human after life. But I don't really care about that..

Well actually ghosts are not just the soul of human after life, but also genie and the evil spirit. Thank you for responding here..

Well given all that we have seen in this world and indeed, all I have seen personally, there is really nothing that really strains belief anymore. Of course, there are a lot of times where it does make me raise an eyebrow at some of these accounts. I think that there is a slight possibility that there could be some supernatural activity somewhere but I have never really personally experienced anything of the sort. The human mind is an interesting thing however. It tends to trick us into believing that things that are not really there, are in fact there. Most there are other circumstances and substances that could make people believe that what they are seeing. Then there are a lot of people that are paranoid and have to latch onto some absurd explanation. Still there is a possibility, however slim that it may be that there is some tortured soul that has not gone on for whatever reason.

thank you for your wonderful explanation megamatt... I guess different country has its own belief. Some countries usually have their own culture which point to a supernatural activity. In my country, some of the people still believe for this kind of myth.

You're right, there are different ghost stories in each different country, and I find them interesting as fiction, but it's hard for me to believe in something like ghosts. Maybe because it's a recurrent topic in horror movies that makes me see it more like a fantastic and fictional thing than like something that can happen in real life. Also adults use ghost stories to scare kids, so it even strenghtens that feeling of being unreal.

actually, im a ghost believer and each time when i entering the stranger place where the surrounding circumstance make me sense like not comfortable and i would pray silently in my heart ask for the GOD blessing. Besides, i would asked permission like you have did 'excuse me' or give a bow to show that im respect them before entering somewhere place where is stranger for me. I had a friend who possess by the ghost because he was pee on the tree which found that the tree is the ghost living place. He get fatal sick for long period who failed to recover his sickness no matter what ever medicines he took. Finally, he parents brings him to father for the solution. After, met The father and my friend was getting well. So, from my friend incident which noticed me to be more careful and must Pray and show our respect before entering somewhere stranger for us.

hello avi0907...thank you for responding.. Actually I 'm not used to say permission to a place. Usually i only pray to God that He will protect me and my whole family. I do believe that ghost exists in our surrounding. But I won't take any respect to it. I only respect and afraid of God who has the power above all...^,^

If we want to answer this question,we should define what is ghost.Once the definition of ghost clear,we can answer it.In my opinion,i believe there is ghost in the world.I can say something unknown is ghost.Do you agree with me?
• Indonesia
24 Oct 10
I don't really think so. Something unknown could probably a disease or virus that cannot be seen by our eyes. A ghost is actually a spirit who stay at somewhere in this earth. The matter is that never be afraid to a ghost, because it has no power to take your life. Only God who has the power to take a life...

I don't know if I believe it or not. I have not seen one yet but the thought of it scares me. I never wanted to encounter one.

Hello neelia... I also never want to experience the possession itself. My mother's friend who has just possessed tell the story that for these two weeks, she felt someone following her. She said that it was a little girl. Every time she turned around, the shadow was missing. Until that Saturday, she felt cold, tired, and something burdening her. Then suddenly she lost her consciousness...

No.. i never seen any creature. But I've seen some people who got possessed. My maid and my friend at Senior High School...I just prayed to God that none of this spirit ever possessed me. My maid was very often got possessed. I was very active in the church at that time, and she said I had a big spirit within me..So i'm not very afraid of her and 'her follower', Her follower was the one who afraid of me...

I do not because I never saw one for my 25 years of existence I have never saw one. Though I have known a few people who claims that they can see ghost and spirits but I im not really sure I want to believe them. To see is to believe as they say so.

Hello wadabski.. I've never seen one too..but i 've seen often some people possessed by the evil spirit. First, my maid-when I was 15-years-old-everytime she got angry or tired, suddenly her spirit was 'replaced' by other spirit. Then my friend when I was Senior high School, suddenly she got angry. I do believe there is an existence at the other dimension.

I do. I'm unsure exactly what a ghost might do, if anything. I believe there are things we can't explain or fully understand.

I don't believe in ghost because there is no logical explantation for a ghost to exist. Perhaps if I understand where a ghost comes from and how a ghost works then I might believe in it. If ghost were to exist then it would be made up of matter. If a ghost was made up of matter then it couldn't go through walls since walls are solid and the atoms in the walls are tightly packed where nothing can go through the wall without breaking the wall.

Ghosts do not exist. That is all there is to it. Case closed. There are no leprechauns, no elves, and no ghosts. All that is foolishness invented to scare small children.
