Interesting topic!!
1. ghost - yes, though I prefer to say "spirits"....I have had various ones with me pretty much my entire life
2. fairies/ faes - not sure really though I do lean towards yes but not in a definate way
3. magic - as in Magick/spellcasting? absolutely and I have yet to have a spell go wrong or not work for me..
4. telekinetic abilities - definately
5. astral projection - yes but unfortunately its nto in my best interest to attempt it due to my history of trauma
6. vampires - hollywood style? No..Vampire culture and Psyvamps absolutely...My niece is heavily into the vamp culture and I've dealt with NUMEROUS psyvamps over the yrs
7. gnomes - never really gave it much thought actually...LOL everytime I think gnome I think Travelocity LOL
8. wishing stars - only for fun

Thank you for your interest Ravenlady. I've enjoyed reading your response.(^-^) Shape shifter are more on spirits that takes forms of your friends, and someone living in your house, that what is it believes to be in my country (Philippines) but I'm here now in CA. But I'm kinda believe also that humans can do that too.
Gnomes, we call them dwarfs in my country but here in US peope prefer to call them gnomes. Gnomes, as they say, are protectors of treasures or mines beneath the earth. More kinda related to faes or fairies in nature.
I love fullmoon too, but I know there are some cultures that has a belief of bad luck during 13th when the moon is full. Some also believes that vampires takes the form of any animals they want on this event. YaYz!
Thanks for the response. I thought of starting this duscussion 'coz I believe in most of these things. I've also joined an online community in ezboard, which now moved to yuku.com, I've joined several communities there which has my same interest, & learned from them too. IT's a discussion board like mylot. also meet vampiric communities/ psyvamps there, but I haven't around them that much coz I'm not into it. I spend time on paranormal boards and wiccan boards.(^-^)

KNOCKERS!
I live in a tin mining area in Corwall, and Knockers are part of the folklore.
miners used to hear them.

1. Ghosts
Most definitely, I've seen several and so has my mother.
2. Fairies
Not sure, but if they do exist then definitely not in the cute fuzzy way most people would like them to be.
3. Magic(k)
Definitely!
4. Telekinetic abilities
Yes
5. Astral projection
Yes
6. Vampires
No. Although there have been very odd stories about corpses not decaying and even looking healthy, I doubt vampires really exist.
7. Gnomes
No
8. Wishing stars
No :(
9. You know what others are thinking
Most times
10. Angels
There have been stories of people seeing angels and they're very convincing, but I'm not sure myself
11. Demons
No
12. Spirit guides
Yes
13. Shape shifters
Reminds me of the X Files! No.
14. UFO's
Ah. Even though most sightings can definitely be explained, there's always a small percentage that can't be. Speaking as a person who has seen several UFO's and had no explanation for them, I guess I do believe in them.
15. Haunted houses
This goes together with number 1, so the answer is a firm yes.
16. Bad luck
No, the moon gives me good luck and I don't believe in the number 13 being such an unlucky number.

1.Ghost
yes. I've seen them
2.Fairies.
yes. but they're not sweet little things like modern fairytales would have people think. they can be quite dangerous.
3.Magic.
yes
4.Telekinetic abilities.
yes. I've experienced it first hand. but it's very rare, and usually accidental, rather than an individual with that ability. more like an accidental surge of energy
5.astral projection.
yes
6.vampires.
in a sense. there are people that can drain energy from other people and their surroundings, known as psychic vampires. there is also the species of bat, Desmodus Desmodus, which drinks blood, there are mosquitos, leeches, ticks....
7.gnomes
not as such. I think, another name for fairies.
8.wishing stars.
no. too far away to really influence us.
9.you know what others are thinking.
telepathy? or intuition? yes. I think that's mostly reading body language, but sometimes you can get a real flash of what is going through someones head.
10.Angels.
in a sense. I don't see an angel as being like in the bible. an Angel is a spiritual messenger. I don't think they're people with feathery wings.
11.Demons.
depends what you mean by demon. some people say bad spirits, then yes, some people say an entity that is a sort of polar opposite to an angel, then no.
12.Spirit Guides.
yes.
13.Shape Shifters.
again, in a sense. not in a physical sense. a spirit, without a body, can change the way it looks, as it has no flesh.
14.UFOs.
sort of. I mean Unidentified Flying Objects definitely exist. when you see something in the sky and can't explain what it is, it's a UFO. is it from space? probably not. I DO beleive in life on other planets. when you look into the sky and see all those stars, and think of each like our sun, with a solar system, surely it's arrogance to suggest we are the ONLY planet with life.
but why would the come here, pick up a redneck, stick something up their bum and fly home?
15.Haunted Houses.
yes. I live in one, and I do paranormal investigation at other haunted properties.
16.Bad luck during the 13th of every month when the moon is full.
this one isn't really beleived in the UK. some people think that the 13th is unlucky if it falls on a friday. I don't beleive in this. to me, 13 is a lucky number.
