I believe in spirits or ghost if you like, and by the way what's the difference? I often feel like someone is around when there is nooo ooone here or I'd feel like someone just sat next to me on the bed, couch or where ever I may be but there was nothing there. I even thought one of my cats jumped on the bed but I would look and there was nothing there and the cats are sleeping or I can see them plain as day and they are NOT on the bed.... LoL Well maybe I'm crazy but I do believe, what about you?

Well I'm a mechanical engineer and very down to earth and never believe anything until I can justify it by logic or experimentation. And yet I believe in spirits/ghosts because I have experienced them. They defy logic in the mechanical sense but I have experienced them. So I accept that there are things that I do not know everything about and cannot put through an experimental test. People ask whether there are angels. Well I think they and ghosts are one and the same. It's just that we put a different name to the same experience.

@stirtime - thanks for the br. I think maybe your last comment to me will come true. @mantis36 - sorry but I don't agree. If spirits/ghosts/angels were actually energy then they would be easily detected and proved. Energy can be measured - ghosts cannot be measured ... yet.

Thank You now this is the way I feel as well, I just couldn't get it out. Just because we can't get the proof of them here in front of us doesn't make them a figment of our imaginations. Saying it's "all in the head" would probably make those who have had real experiences somewhat angry and quite frustrated I'm sure. Well maybe someday we will have the proof that everyone needs.

@smacksman, the ghosts that you are believing for is the energy that makes us alive, the same explanation to plants and to all of the living things on this world and beyond... @Stirtime, you said: "Well maybe someday we will have the proof that everyone needs." the proof is already revealed, and that is what science called ENERGY, and @smacksman is true as what he said that it's just that we put a different name to the same experiences.... already proved by Einstein as E=mc2 Note: if Satan is a good angel at first, then capable of being bad at times go by.... temptation is his offense to many.... how much more if the ghosts are real since there are good ghosts and there are bad ghosts... how about if those bad ghosts alters the Boeing747 Jumbo Passenger Jet Plant to opposite course while landing off the runway, then the survivor pilot will tell to the court of law that those ghosts are the reasons why a disaster happens, and the court of law will rolling on the floor laughing out loud.... there are no ghosts.... were are now in the year 2012 and still ghosts are rejected if use as a suspect in a crime or disaster.... but Satan's temptation is acceptable in the court of law.... if the person don't allow himself to be tempted then he will not be put to jail.

Yeah I reckon there's spirits and ghosts lurking about but you just can't see them. I have heard a lot of ghost stories and they're pretty frightening. The thing is, are ghosts bad or good? In the horror movies, it's always the ghosts or phantoms trying to murder people. That's why I get a little scared when I hear something at night and I'm alone in the kitchen or something I believe that ghosts and spirits have no reason to disturb us. I remember a movie called the others about how spirits lived in different dimensions compared to living people but they both lived in the same house. The main characters thought they were being haunted but turned out they were the ghosts and the living people tried to communicate with them with those moving boards. I find those boards scary too.

Ghosts don't defy the "laws of nature" because they too could be all part of the course of natural things. No one ever knows until we are in that state of being ourselves so when we die I guess we will know for sure.

so, what types of scientific formulas applicable to ghosts defying the laws of nature?

I am more of a scientific guy so I hardly believe about ghosts.I won't believe unless I have seen one.I tried ghost hunting,slept in my dark room alone,did spirit of the glass,did some ghost calling techniques,etc.But noting worked.No ghost appeared.I guess it is just in our mind.If we are more scientific we think less about ghosts so we don't hallucinate.But if we believe in them,we tend to imagine them around.But still I wish to see one...but unfortunately none appears.Maybet they are afraid of me.lol.Or maybe I am just unlucky.

I don't think we could see them by beckoning to them well if we did we may have all kind of specters flying around all the time. lol I believe spirits, ghosts and such are of Energy but NOT OUR energy unless of course we have an exceptionally higher energy then the usual. That's probably why some people with certain abilities claim to have contact with them, they're probably like a tuning fork so they are drawn to them and like wise I'm sure but I don't think we ourselves project them either.

How can you see an object if that object is found not in front of you but found at your back of head? it simply means that since Ghosts is what we called an "Energy" and Energy is misinterpreted as Ghosts, spirits, or souls... therefore, ghosts are found on our entire body, so how can we see it if that ghosts are our energy and what we only see visible in our eyes is our skin and hairs if we don't have ENERGY(ghosts, spirits, souls)how can our body systems function?

If ghosts do exist,I want to talk to the ghost of Michael Jackson.I will request him to sing and dance thriller with me.Lol.If I will be given a chance I would like to see Mj because I have never seen him in person.I became aware of his existence when his career was almost over.Maybe that's just normal because I was just a baby when he was at the peak of his career.

I don't know. I also had an experience like this. I think I saw a white lady. Hmm.. but I think its only my imagination. I am not really that sure. However, I have a lot of friends who have their third eyes. And they said that it's real. Hmm.. I don't know.. Even if I have experienced some kinda creepy, I still don't want to believe.

I've only seen like quick moving shadows out of the corner of my eye but none as in a "white lady" that would scare the wits out of me. A third eye like a 2nd sense or an intuition of the like but I think spirits won't come to us if they know it could harm us like getting too scared (like me)or something because it could cause a heart attack or something like that so we only get a glimpse.

hello! first ,i need to tell you that i don't believe in spirets or ghost,but i also feel scared when i am alone or there is dark around .second ,i think you may think too much when you feel like someone is around or next to you ,maybe you just need to be more audacious.
@Stirtime (269)

Well I think you meant to say I need to be more courageous if I'm feeling afraid when I am alone because being audacious is more like being bold and brave or daring. But actually I am none of those, if and when I feel something like I describe previously I more or less ignore it and think to myself whatever, Like I have actually said oh go ahead just have a seat and usually followed by but just leave me alone lol

I had some feelings, like someone was stalking me. Not like a person, more like a spirit. Or ghost. Ghost's more like scary (to me),spirits are friendly. I belive that spirits exist,but noone knows where they are. They could be on the moon,sun even on the earth.I don't belive in heaven,I don't belive in god. But spirits/ghosts,they may exist. I had the same feeling,kinda, I have no cat but I thougt I heard someone/something was whispering to me.

I saw a program once where scientist were given some paranormal findings to review and the best they could say was that it was an anomaly. Why is it when science can't figure something out then it's called "just one of those things"?

year late 1960's to 1970's is the Space Race.... Science should have an evidence of Ghosts, Spirits, and Souls early than that... maybe year 1940's Science should provided already an evidences of their existence but until now year 2012 there are still no Ghosts, spirits, or souls captured??? there are no such myth capture because there is none.....

if ghosts are real, Science will be the first one to use ghosts to lift science technologies to more supreme ultimate inventions.... and Science will be the first one to detect the existence of Ghosts... we public people believe in ghosts and what is our instrument to detect ghosts? is our instruments of doubt to detect ghosts are more accurate than science modern tools and instruments? common sense....

I do or I did kinda believe in ghost. I remember when I was younger and my cousin came to sleep over and we were messing with my phone. Suddenly when my cousin was using the camera, he spotted a something in the camera that wasn't in the real thing so when took a picture, it was there. He did it again and the ghost look a like thing was in the camera. I remember recently when I was walking (it was night time) in my backyard and when I was walking I kinda thought I saw something go through me. I thought it was a bird flying straight in front of me but I kept seeing it. It was something that was passing by me quick. I was like damn.

Well it happened a while back and it stop passing by me when I went again to walk. The one about the camera, we figured it was some sort of light that was reflecting the light that made us think it was ghost.

Yes, I actually saw two times and one it was horrible, really like I saw in movies. I couldn't believe and it was so hard to walk afterwards. There was this 3rd time that I heard, but I was preatty sure someone was in that bathroom with me.

If Ghosts are real, then what is left for Scientific Formulas? We don't need Science anymore because Superstitious Beliefs are more real than Science Technologies around us..... so, therefore, a cellphone that can call to a friends cellphone is a sorcery? no wires attached between the two cellphones but capable to transmit a voice call is done by ghosts? Is Superstitious Beliefs is more real than a Natural Science? common sense....

i do not necessarily believe in ghosts but i do believe in spirits i see them as more like guardian angels that help to guide and direct you although sometimes i do like to humor and entertain myself when watching a scary movie that ghosts are real but in the end i know they are not i often get those strange feelings too and sometimes i will hear a strange noise it creeps me out but then the feeling soon passes and i think it was just in my head

I think that most ghost or spirits or super nature incidents reported by the people are usually not that true. There are some scientific evidence to indicate that some of part of brain would be induced what a person stay a long. According your experience, you brain may be in nervous when there is no one at home. So, it create a illusion or imagination to make it feel like someone accompany with you. But actually no one stays with you. It just somehow makes it normal, but actually abnormal to you. It's the same concept that why we recognize shadow as ghost sometime. You brain would make its own imagination. Just relax yourself sometimes. It may help you to ease your nervous brain.

very true, i'm convinced.... and especially those nightmare dreams that we had, our brain is indexing and re-indexing and defragmenting in order for a preparation for work tomorrow when wake-up....
