I can't figure the whole ghost thing out. I believe there is something that goes on. I know I have been visited by a few people that are dead. But is it a choice, does it just happen, can you stay a ghost? Why do we hear, read, watch on tv about these haunted places that have ghost from 17 and 1800's ? Why isn't the local hospital or some place haunted by a ghost from 2006 ? Do you have to wait in line maybe, buy a ticket, is it a lottery? I just have so many questions as I am always "Looking for ghosts in all the wrong places". So tell me something.

Our nervous systems are run on chemically modulated elecric impulses. The message of the first fives senses come from the the network of nerves through out our bodies. Our sixth sense works on those impulses not contained within the body. I thknk that ghosts and other apparitions, are the impulses that are released when the bodydies. Think of a radio. YOucan move the dial and get a clear signal for a bit but then there are times when other, stray signals can come through. I think it is the same with our sixth sense. Those whoa re sensitive to impulses that do not originate from their body's neural net will pick up the signals that are floating freely around them. That's my story and I am sticking to it....LOL

Actually, we also have a sense of thermoception (sense of heat or absense of it), nociception (pain), balance, and body awareness.

Right on! Native American way, spirits are all around us. Do we choose to call them ghosts or do we need some kind of physicalness for our eyes? I'm glad I grew up with Casper cause he was friendly!

i dont know what your take is on the whole thing but ill tell u mine. i dont know if there are ghosts or not but i definitely believe in the supernatural or paranormal, call it what u want. i mean, there is no explaining the few freaky things that happen. like some people being able to sense the future and the like. its eerie.personally the only experinece iv had with this kinda thing was at a prayer meeting where 1 lady got sum 'powers'. it was kinda scary. her whole demeanor changed for that period of time..have u encountered anything??

I believe in paranormal and supernatural events. I can't figure that all out either..lol That must have been pretty freaky to see especially at a prayer meeting...Yikes.

Oops meant to add...Yes I have seen quite a few things happen that I cannot explain. The one that perplexes me most is. One of the disabled women I worked with passed after being ill with alzhiemers, (and she was retarded). Long story short..I was sitting at the table doing paper work and the kitchen cabinet opened. Then a bag of dried peas came off the top shelf and down to the lowest shelf....all by itself. That alone is strange..but it was the same bag of peas that Betty had been preoccupied with trying to put in the microwave the last time she was able to walk before passing. Very strange.

Ghostly Image at Bridge - is it real?
I do think I 'believe' in them but in a sort of way. LOL Does that sound clear? I should be a politician. I guess I believe that our spirits are waiting to enter the kingdom of heaven or hell and in the mean time we have to stay around in limbo. Some have found a way to enter back into our realm or perhaps never quite made it to the limbo area and can have a presence here on earth. I do believe that there is such a thing though. I also think a lot of it is made up and people being fakes. In some ways it's kind of frightening to think about because obviously there are good and bad ones around.

I'll vote for you..lol. I know what you mean about fakes. There is alot of that with everything. It's incredible some of the ghost hunting type shows on tv. Yes some are real but some are so blatantly fake it's absurd. Yet alot of people will believe anything they see on tv.

If you have seen something then your 3rd eye is open. I have it and not just see but get smells and feelings. Sometimes their emotions i seem to absorb. I've gotten fear but mostly sadness. Its horrible when all of a sudden you get this overwellming desire to cry and your not unhappy.They are stuck or are looking for something or someone.Sometimes we can help them. Just listen.They won't hurt you.

I am not afraid of them really. I am always on alert for them because I am so intrigued by them. I can't count on the feelings part much as I battle depression (hmmm maybe that has something to do with it) so I get sad easily for no real reason. I do know what you mean about the smells though. I have experienced that for sure. I guess now I will have to do some looking into developing my 3rd eye. Thanks for your response.

I think there is too much evidence to dismiss the idea completely. I have had a few experiences myself, not ghosts but just strange happenings that I can't just dismiss because I experienced them. I think there are a lot of charlatans but alos people who ahve had encounters with ghosts and really believe what they have seen or heard.

If you believe ghost, then there will be ghost. If don't believe, then there's no ghost at all. Our mind is a devil. It travels faster than a lightening. You can even reach mars or any other planets with your own mind in seconds and you can even dwell all these planets. But in real can you reach these planets within seconds? So ghost is the creation of mind.

Lol..I like the way you put that "The Ghost World" That is what my question should have been...How does it work. Well I know that no one really knows. But I love reading about other peoples opinions and theories. Thanks

Yes that's a good site. My favorite is The Oklahoma City Ghost Club www.okcgc.com They have live cameras set up at an abandoned hospital. They meet for sitdowns and info gathering almost weekly. They have a chat room with live cams from the hospital and you can get audio also. Really nice group of people too. They are not for show they are really doing research. Check it out all you ghosthunters.

Thts Gud topic!!!! But from my point of view i think tht there are all type of things in this world,coz in this world nothing is Impossible!so on the ghost topic i say tht they exist but they r not in our world they r in the other world!I belive tht there are ghosts but they live in the spair world! First of all wat is Ghost?how the Ghost is made?and where they came from in our human world?and wat r they want from us and wat they are doing in our world? These are the main questions which comes in the mind!but i can say on tht the Ghosts are the Soul of Human they live in the other world!they are made from pure light!They contains the foton of light,the element in the light!!!okey they came from the other world!! but why they came in our world i cant understand on tht?But i think i will soon find out wats tht matter is? OKey now the Hunted areas! So there r lots of Hunted areas in this world but there r lots of misteries on them!!!Supose there are some homes and wat ever tht places are they are closed for long time and no one gos there so tht why there r lots of ceatures be start living there like bats,owl,spiders etc.but the gost i wont think so they live there!!!In the older age over grand parents know tht these places r not gud for children and they play there all the time and if they hurt there how can or who save them and take care of them so they start saying tht this place is like this or tht!but acculy its not!Just image tht if u have a ur own child and u know tht streat where u live in the night u wont alow ur child to go out there so u say tht in the night there is a ghost come out of his grave!!!lolz!!u do tht for he wont go outside in the night!!! So tht the Theory of Ghost which i think!!But I want to sreach on them!!!But I need the brave team!!!

ghost - ghost
i believe there are ghosts.. its just not easy to hunt them or see them.. i watch Ghost Hunters and they really encounter paranormal apparitions and activities.. they even debunk every evidence they get.. now those are real hunters.

I didn't believe in ghosts before this. But there was a time when I went to college and this hostel mate of mine kept talking about ghosts and how it appears when you sleep, sitting on top of you. That was when it really happened to me one night. I was in a single room and I freaked out and slept in my car the next few nights till I changed my room the next semester. I'm not sure whether it was really a ghost or whether it was my bad dream. But, don't think of it too much as the more you think, the more you would imagine or see things.

I have lived in two haunted houses, both very lovely house mates, both very old houses.. Too "see" them I think one has to be open to the experience, its not fast food instant gratification.The most current house guests have helped me look after my grandbaby, he saw them also and has talked to them without provocation from me. My mother still talks to me occasionally and she has been gone a long time. Ghost time is very different from our real time.Read som Sylvia Browne books to better clarify the situation

i never believed in ghost. i think its just a person's imagination or a trick of the eye. there was never a proof that ghost really exist. we all see them in movies and pictures but nobody can really say that they do exist.

I don't know if I really believe in ghosts or not. I've never had an experience with one, that I'm aware of, and I have a hard time believing in something that I've never seen, heard, felt, etc. That's not to say that my opinion may change somewhere down the road if I experience something that seems other worldly.

i am in ambiguity with this ghost thing coz whenever i listen to ghosts stories i feel thaat they exist but actually what i belive in and which is scientifically proved is that there are negative and positive energies that surround us. the more we think negative, the more thase negetive energies get empowered and that crteate ghosts..
