Do You Believe in Ghosts?

Yes I do. I have had experiences that I cannot understand the one that sticks out most would be from when I was a child. A neighbor and I would play in the woods behind our homes all the time growing up. We were never really afraid of the white horse that we would see back there or the man who would lead her away every now and then. At one point older boys from our street explained that they were ghosts but not scary ones, we of coarse thought they were teasing us. As we grew up we saw the horse and man many times then one day decided we wanted to touch the pretty horse. She let us walk up real close, and we got cold, but some how when we got to where she had been she was gone. Another time we tried to say hello to the man but he never paid us any attention. I am not sure at what point we realized the boys where not just teasing us but fear was never a feeling we had. As we got older we saw them less and less until we just never saw them again. Years later I was sitting with my younger sister talking about spirits and what not and she began telling me how her and her friend would see the horse and it's man every now and then (she is many years younger then me). We decided to dig up some info on where we lived growing up. It turned out the land had been a horse farm owned by one family from 1733 until the late 1850's. There was a clipping from a newspaper about how one of the family's white mares was known to wander away and show up at the school house and would just hang around watching the kids, it was apparently a town joke (the paper was dated 1802) and how the hired man would have to go fetch her from the school yard. We believe this is who we saw, the mare still liked to be around kids as since the only people who saw them where children this made sense. Not long ago we visited and my one child told her Pop Pop that there was a horse in the backyard. I found it comforting to know she was still around.

I have heard of TV's turning channels by themselves but then it turns out the neigbours have a universal remote control and it's them that are turning it over. Do you have the TV on standby or switched off completley? You said in your post that you live in a Victorian mansion with a lot of history, and some of it is less then wholesome. I'm really interested, would you care to divulge some more information?

That is really freaky thing to happen in your TV set in the middle of the night. I am just curious how old is your TV set. I am thinking that it could be a defective tv set may be the answer why your TV went that way. I have a TV set that when where watching would turn on and off by itself (although not as your case is in different channels). It could be the main board that is really tweaking out on itslef and not a ghost. But I am not saying that it was not a ghost encounter. If I was in your situation I might also think that it is a ghost encounter.

Wow i will sure be freaked out running around and screaming if that happens to me. I think it might be some ghost that is bored and try to put a trick on you, either that, you are too tired and your eyes are playing tricks on you. Or, you are dreaming ;P Did your partner knew about that? maybe your partner is the one that switch on the television? [:

i don't wanna believe in that..

I don't believe in ghosts! It's just a perception! Always have a positive thought and don't believe in these kind of superstitions.

I would say that if you believe that god exists as a symbol of goodness and purity then the evil powers also exists and its quite a 90% sure thing for me as 10% ambiguity is always there.I would like to ask if u have really ever seen one.

Yes,i do believe in them. i think they are real. I haven't actually seen one nor hope I'd see one in the future. I like my ghosts only in television or in the movies or in books but not in real life. But based on accounts of people I know and who are close to me, I think they really exist. What happened to you, i don't know what to make of it. Maybe it was a ghost. what else could explain what happened?

my friends and some of my relatives believed it because they have seen ghosts! me, havent seen one, they just told me stories of ghosts in their school or houses or everywhere they encountered. to see is to believe for me, so i have to see a ghost first for me to believe that they really exists!

well many people blieved in a gosts.... specially filipino... i blieve dat also cos i experience that.... when the last time i distined in ither place and i sleep alone only my bed is something wrong....

yes i believe in ghosts.. thou i have not seen one myself, i feel that they exist. If you are looking for other possibility of what is happening, then i would say faulty tv? some would say that there is irregular current that night and causes a surge in power supply hence it turns on/off. haha much more unbelievable.

I didn't believe it before. Maybe because i have seen some horrible movies , now i don't deny the existness or admit it. I will be freaked out if this happens to me. There's much in the world you can't explain. Some need time to find the answers and some are mysteries even for scientists. I don't know why that have happen.But i don't think it's because of ghosts.

Yes, I beleive in ghosts. It's possible that the tv turning on could be a ghost, it's possible. But it could also just be interference from other electronics in the house or room.

I never believe in any kind of ghosts or even god. It is just a superstition world wide. Ghosts doesn't exist. the happenings whose reason have not been discovered by science till date, we generally call that is due to any ghost or god or evil power or super power. For example, Raining was due to anger of god of sky according to ancient humane, but now-a-day we all know the exact reason for that. People also in modern age talk about ghosts or god, because these kinds of things probably give him some pleasure or taste of exclamation, as process of thinking in human mind also follow genetic paradigm. But actually nothing happened abnormal. Whatever going on in the world have certain known or unknown scientific reason behind it. Don't think much about that night. There will be some temporary electronic complexity within your TV or remote control buttons or some connection faults.

i do not belive in ghots it is only man made thing concept just for scare it is not good belive that there is ghost exist,it is only out a question we know that we had never seen the ghost in real life there is nothing like if someone see it also it only there imganation othem selves due to scare in some area the pople use ghost to make money they tell the money was taken by the ghost actually the human who lies are the ghost they utlizes the ghost

Honestly speaking,I do believe in ghosts....This one is a real freaky incident.I was scared after reading it.Thanks for sharing it with all of us..But before coming to a decision,you better be sure that where your partner was at the time it happened. I had never experienced such kind of paranormal events.there may be many things that we can't explain with our knowledge.But i do feel a bit spooky and creepy when I heard about such instances.Ghost stories are very interesting. But,from now on you should take care and be alert always.

yes i believe ghosts. you have to know some things about them - dont be scared of them, they cant kill you and ignore them

Just because our eyes cannot see ghosts, it does not mean they don't exist. It's just that we don't have the ability to. Someone said before if we swipe the dogs' eyes and apply some on our eyes, we are able to see. That's why dogs howl. They see. Then again, our eyes never see God physical, do we?

With all due respect,I don't believe in ghosts at all.Maybe it's just your imagination that calls illusion.Ghost is out of question.They don't exist.We cannot explain some natural phenomenon is attributed to our ability to preceive the world.Just take a good rest and have some chocolate.Wish you a great day!
