I do believe in ghosts and other supernatural beings and events. So myths are there to help people cope with life but I strongly believe others come from real situations even if they are embellished a bit. Growing up the children on my street knew there where ghosts. We would see the spirit of a horse or hear them trotting down the road on a regular basis until we where about 13 then it would slowly stop happening. My children now swear they see the horse or hear the trotting. FOr years my friends and I thought we just had imagined them as kids can do but when our children started with out being told we looked into it. Turns out where we grew up had originally been a horse farm from the time of the Revolutionary war until the early 1900's all along being passed from one family member to the next. During the depression they sold off all the land to survive. So we now fully believe what we heard and saw back then and apparently be it that children are more open minded or just more susceptible only kids can hear and see them there.

I do not believe in Ghosts so much but I believe in spirits. I used to live in a house with friends. We had this experience where it seemed like someone was running from about the beginning of the kitchen to right before my bathroom. It was kind of scary. A friends dog would hurdle over the space where the bathroom is to get to my room.
Well we found out that apparently a man was shot because he couldn't pay a debt. I also swore I saw two kids in old clothes (like a different era) in the mirror one day in the darkened house.
My aunt lives in a house that used to be the doctor's and there is a spirit there as well.

Hi, maclanis. Yes. I do believe in ghosts. I remember staying with my grandmother. I would wake up in the middle of the early morning hours. I would hear someone walking. Everyone in the trailer was sound asleep. I know that it was not the floor that was creaking at all. It was, a ghost walking around the living room floor. I heard its footsteps too.

I do believe in ghosts. We are all energy right? And that energy has to go somewhere after we die.
When I was a kid (6 or 7) I remember playing at the back of a small boutique my mom would seamstress for. In the back room the storage space had a high ceiling and I saw a pale lady dressed in a nightgown floating. I never went back in that room again. I later learned a woman had hung herself in that room (Though to this day I get the feeling she was murdered and I've never been able to shake it).

maybe we can address them as disturbed souls.. from my experiences ghosts are all made by the mind... disturbed souls that need our prayers our help....they might be scary .... wahhhhhh... but once we consider them as part of our environment, they are just but unseen creature trying to be one of us..... don't be scared they might be the answer if the sixth sense is true or not.... :)

Friend i am not sure whether ghosts are still existing on earth or not. But my uncle used to say that he saw ghost which is too height because of that he was not able to see the face but full of white color he can't identify whether it it girl or boy. But Me promptly saying never seen such type of person or ghost at all.

While i do beleave in ghosts i think that their has to be solid scientic evidence to prove they are not just science fiction.I very idea that flying spirts are within this world is really creapy.We are not sure of what they are capable of and they may be able to harm us physically.More research should be done to find out if ghosts acutally exists or are just a phynominom that occurs naturally.

I'm not sure if I believe in them or not. I'm leaning more towards no, but if I ever have an encounter with one I'll believe it when I see it.
