Hi mshll84? I also believe in ghost and in haunted house because if a house is no people inside living. The ghost or other spiritual creature will be given a chance to stay there. In case that they already lived there, they will claim the house as they are the owner of it. So if you have a stock house?it's better to have one person living there for them to know that theres a people living. Then always make some noise.

Yes, I do believe that houses, castles, and such can be haunted. I do believe that there are ghosts, who wondering around on earth. I haven't personally stayed in a haunted houses, but who knows. Maybe one day I will.

Yes, I do believe that some houses are definitely haunted. The house I live in, everybody says it's haunted. There sure have been some strange and unexplainable things that have happened over the years. I don't think if there are spirits here that they are bad ones though. More like: let me get your attention with this... One time I was in the kitchen doing dishes and I had this bird house my Dad built setting on a chair across the room. I had planned on painting it that day. It weighed a ton, and it was securely sitting on the chair. It would have taken an earthquake to move it, no mere bump could have caused it to accidently fall off the chair, nor could a breeze blow it off the chair. (There wasn't any window or door open anyways.) I was washing the dishes and I heard a huge crash behind me, and when I turned around that birdhouse was sitting about a foot behind where I was standing. Nobody else was home, the dogs were out in the kennel, doors and windows shut. Now HOW does something about 20 to 25 pounds go that far across a room, about 6 feet from the chair that it was sitting on?! Many, many other people who've spent the night here say they feel it's haunted because of their own experiences. And, several children have asked me who is that woman in the upstairs attic window?! The original part of the house was built in 1830.

I believe that there are ghosts too, which have different categories to them. In a local language in my country, they call it "Jin". And this is the type of spirit that can transform into many things. Not to fear them is one thing, but never to show that we are too brave and dare them. For me, ghosts/spirits are just there and they should not disturb us. I always say a little prayer each time before I go somewhere and after I've come back..

I do believe that spirits/ghosts/residual energies/whatever-you-want-to-call-them exsist. I was totally obsessed with that Haunted places show they used to have on the Travel Channel. I also think there I encountered a spirit in a house my family lived in for a while when I was a kid.

Yes I believe there are spirits everywhere. Some are not human but I believe that the majority of ghosts are human spirits. They are part of our soul energy that stays behind for various reasons. Some have just refused to leave here and some just leave some energy behind for reasons known only to them. Perhaps they are seeking something maybe they just enjoyed a certain place or area so they leave energy there or visit. We are all of free will and though I don't know for sure it is what I believe. We are all made of energy and when we die...energy lives on..it can't be destroyed only displaced. I have witnessed spirits in my home since I was eight and am now 49. I also see spirits when out and about whether I am trying to or not, I'm just sensitive that way.

I believe it is possible. I have not actually been in a haunted house (to my knowledge), but I have been in a house with paranormal (above normal) activity occurring. I never really experienced anything that could tell me that some place is definitely haunted or not. I cannot deny that strange things do happen.

Ghost live in any vacant places so as long as house do not have any person living there. The chance that the other spiritual creatures lived there for sure.

Once you have seen a ghost/spirit you will always believe in them. I have seen and I believe. There are to many people who have seen things for it not to be. Watching Ghost Hunters there have been to many experiences that could not be accounted for from visions to voices. I definitely believe in ghost after seeing one in my basement growing up back in New York.

Absolutely! My boyfriends house is for sure haunted. His sisters drawers in her room open and close, doors open on there own, the knobs turn and me and his mom see a little boy in a blue shirt all the time. There not harmful spirits at all either. I like them very much. I've never come in contact with a bad spirit and I hope not too. But I do believe in haunted houses and spirits!

This is an interesting question. I kind of agree with you. I do not at all believe in ghost. But I do believe in demons. I think they are all around us trying to mess us up.
