I have never had a personal experience or have seen ghosts/spirits but I have heard close friends telling me about ghosts in some places especially in our work place. It's kind of scary but since I never experienced it I kind of think that you only see them when you have the "ability" to see/feel them like the third eye. So what do you think? Have you seen one? Experienced it before?

I have never experienced it. Also I don't believe that ghosts exists. Anything happened must have a reason , so find out the reason then you will know the truth. Just do it.

well i too believe that there is a reason for everything but sometimes you can't find the reason and your mind will start wandering. The mind's imagination is very powerful which is why I think people think they saw something when in fact their brain was "tricking" them to think that there was something there.

well, you are right. Maybe these guys just because they consider too much everyday. Their brains are not healthy like that. Lead life simple and do not scare anything. Just like kids ~

Believing in the paranormal is just that; a belief. Many people will state outright that they don't exist. That there is no possibility of the occurence. Their reasoning is simply, "There is no scientific evidence." While it is true that temperature differences can be caused by localized pressure and dew point changes. It is true that motion sensors can be tricked by drafty windows and doors. It is true that photographs can be developed poorly. Video tapes can have technical malfunctions. EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) can pick up and play back inaudible noise and make it sound like voices. Most importantly, people can have strange feelings when they confront their fears. Nay-sayers can look at all of these events happening at the same exact time and still brush it off as complete coincidence. That's alittle too much evidence for me though. In addition, these same nay-sayers will show up in Church on their Sabbat and pray for the salvation of their soul, and a spot in Heaven. I am not trying to turn this into a religious discussion, but where is the scientific evidence that an afterlife exists? Yes, they can prove Jesus lived, they can prove alot of the historical events happened, but if you say that the Bible, a second hand account of events, rewritten several times by countless people, with no photo's, recordings, or other scientific evidence, is your proof, and yet you don't believe that paranormal phenomenon can exist, then you are nothing more than a hippocrit.

I have seen two full formed apparitions (for all you not soo paranormal saavy that is a fancy word for a "ghost" as everyone knows them) There is a good reason for hardly anyone ever seeing one of these and soo much skepticism on the subject is because seeing an actual "ghost" is a rare event, as it takes alot of energy for a spirit to be able to manifest itself in a way the human eye can see it. There are spirits all around us, we just cant see them. Want to know more?....I know lots more...from researching the paranormal, and from actual personal experience...

I dont think i have ever seen a ghost. But i have felt creeped out and all my hairs went prickly on my neck and i was scared. I was in a pine forest shooting and we could hear these strange noises, really strange noises... noises you dont hear out in the middle of no where like a machine in the distance but there was nothing and the sound got closer. there are alot of scary stories about ghosts in that forest. particularly shooting disasters out there, and people coming back swearing they had seen ghosts. This is a very secluded forest far away from the town and there have been all sorts of strange sightings and deaths. there has also been bodies found out there.

Even some of my friends tell a lot of ghostly stories. But i very well know that they are trying to scare me. They jus try to play a prank around me. I believe what i see/feel. I have nver seen or felt ghosts/spirits. So i dont have belief in them. As simple as that. But, its a nice thing to listen to scary/horror stories ;) LoL
