Ghosts? - Yes or No

A ghost is described as the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal. They can be invisible, translucent, barely visible to realistic or lifelike forms.
The idea of ghosts dates back to pre-literate cultures. An exorcism is one of the ways, so it's said, that a ghost can be laid to rest; and a seance is one way to contact the dead.
There is no scientific knowledge which confirms the presence of ghosts. It is said that certain conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or certain drugs or medications can bring on ghostly hallucinations.
I, personally, do not believe in ghosts; but I have heard noises that I can't explain.
Do you believe in ghosts?

@LindaOHio I have some weird experiences also in our home, footsteps during the night, the radio that turns on by itself, same for the lights.

Yes, I do. We've lived with ghosts in several of the houses where we've lived. There is one that lives with us in this house. For some reason, she likes to watch me sleep or, sometimes, she watches me while I work in the kitchen. She leaves when Pretty is coming into the room. (I wrote a discussion about us having a roommate in this house.)

@LindaOHio She's late 20s or early 30s, black hair and wears a dress that looks like it comes from the 1940s. The first time I saw her she was sitting on my bed, watching me sleep. I thought it was Pretty in the dark and asked what she was doing. The ghost got up and walked out of my bedroom through the closed door.

I do yes, but I don't think they are as common as some people or TV shows would have you believe.

@LindaOHio When I was around 5 to 6 years old, I was playing with a ghost boy. I think he is the same age as me and did not know that he was a ghost at that time.

@LindaOHio One I called Victor. While I was living where he was I could not keep a metal pizza cutter. We were living in a trailer that we tore down. Still did not find any of the pizza cutters I had bought over the years. I would love to know what he did with them.

@LindaOHio I wish it would happen more often, never often enough or long enough it seems.

Definitely, My entire family had the sixth sense and I am in contact with the world beyond, I have heard, felt, seen all kinds of things and I like being in touch, In fact, I heard someone clearly call me by name this afternoon and there was no one around anywhere, I mean I do live alone and I am sure the cat or kittens have not started talking, I was interesting,
