Well, I put the "apparitions" in my interests, but until now I have not written or commented anything inherently to that argument.
So before "eliminate" the thread from my favorites, I wish to express my opinion about.
I personally, have never been directly witnessed any paranormal phenomenon.
Even the people I have known, though they believe in the paranormal, have never had "close encounters"
Now comes the point: we should believe these strange phenomena or not?
Well, although I regard to be fairly well documented, reading articles on various witnesses, remains in me is always a certain skepticism. With this, I'm not absolutely confirm the fact that ghosts do not exist, but the documentation that I can follow on the net, magazines and other media, I still can not figure out if you can prove a concrete evidence of the existence of the paranormal world, or as demonstrated in some cases, may be only a collective illusion.
In conclusion, I can now only wait for your any testimony, direct or indirect. In short: you believe it or not?

Just like you,I have never witnessed any paranormal phenomenon so far and I don't know anyone who had any experience with such 'apparitions',so I am inclined not to believe in such phenomena,but I can't say that 100% sure that they are all nothing but simple inventions.I would be very curious to talk to a person who claims to have seen ghosts and witnessed strange phenomena;maybe such a conversation would change my general perception on this matter,but until that happens let's say that I'm 90% convinced that ghosts don't exist.

Let's say that you, like me you've never witnessed firsthand a paranormal event, nor even know people who have reported similar experiences to you.

To believe. The thing is believing is seeing and I met very open minded people that had their proofs but more so because of things that happened to me. I wasn't expecting to have my proofs but just kept asking questions and keeping my eyes opened and it came. Maybe that's why skepticals will always be skeptical.

Sure, I can discuss this with you Alberello or someone else. I have witnessed but I can not prove anything to you as with physical evidence.
I always express myself with words that align themselves to this kind of discussion where we can communicate the same things.
All spiritual interests for me are in connection with God. So you might see from the start that evidence will not be supplied here only testimony. Those that might consider God to be an illusion therefore will not be satisfied.
In short, yes I believe in spirits and usually refer to these as angels not ghosts, apparitions as a connection, and paranormal as another state. Really, anything that I could write would not prove or disprove anything only supply some kind of statement that says something like, yes, angels do exist, I’ve met some.

Yes, I do believe that there are spirits exist amongst us and even within us. No, I have not encountered them myself physically; but then again, I believe I've interacted with them even if it is only mentally. I believe in God, therefore, I also believe in all the spritual beings that God created.
