GHOSTS, SPIRTITS, AND ALIENS. i watch a lot of shows on tv and i know you cant always believe what you see but why would people make stuff like that up, and why would they have started these myths if someone somewhere didnt see it. i believe to the fullest that anyhing is possible except (santa, toothfairy, boogyman ect.) until someone can prove me wrong. i even think there may be a bigfoot.

I know more people that believe in UFOs if you can believe that.. there is like a UFO support group in the next town over from me. These are people that claim they have been abducted and returned. They wear these little buttons on their cloths so you can identify them. \nI mean who is to say..... maybe they have been abducted??? Better them than me at least! or should I say better them than me and kitty cats... dont you think?????? :)

Do Ghosts really exist??\n\n\n\nNo one actually knows if ghosts really exist. The only evidence we have are photos and claimed sightings. Most of the photos are of poor quality or are not convincing enough. The sightings may be true but there is no evidence to say so. People have there own ideas of what ghosts look like, from human shaped figures to small objects. Even though there is so much material to say ghosts exist there is still no actual evidence. Until there is some scientific evidence to prove that ghosts actually exist, the legend about ghosts will stay a mystery.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n@ w w w . c a s t l e o f s p i r i t s . c o m\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTHE GHOST OF HAMPTON COURT?\n\n\n\n\n\nArticle from DAILY MAIL - UK\n\nBy David Harding, Metro\n19 December 2003\n\nTo the sceptic it may simply look like a fuzzy CCTV image of someone in a long coat walking through a doorway.\nExperts say the long-coated figure could be the best proof yet found that things really do go bump in the night... and the day too.\nThe mystery surfaced two months ago at the 16th-century palace, once home to King Henry VIII.\nSecurity staff heard alarms ringing near an exhibition hall, indicating fire doors had been opened. But on investigation they found the doors closed.\nPerplexed, they examined CCTV footage, and that is when it got spooky.\nThe cameras showed the heavy doors popping open but no one there. Then, suddenly, the long- coated figure appeared and slammed the doors shut.\nThe guards were told the same thing happened at the same time - about 1pm - the day before.\nTo add to the mystery, the doors also flew open at the same time the very next day. But the ghostly figure has been spotted only once.\nThe suspected spook has not just been sighted by CCTV. Australian tourists also claim to have seen a ghost near the exhibition area. The palace, in West London, has ruled out its guides as suspects because they do not enter that part of the building.\nPsychologist Dr Richard Wiseman said the spectre, nicknamed Skeletor, might prove to be a significant discovery.\n'It could be the best ghost sighting ever,' he said. 'I haven't seen anything that would match that at all.'\n\nHENRY AND A HISTORY OF HAUNTING\n\nThis is London\n\n19 December 2003\n\n• CATHERINE HOWARD\n\nThe best known haunting at Hampton Court is by Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife.\n\nCharged with adultery in 1541 and placed under house arrest, she broke free from her guards and ran to her husband to plead for her life. The guards dragged her back and she was executed. To this day, it is claimed, a woman in white can be seen floating down the Haunted Gallery.\n\n• JANE SEYMOUR\n\nHenry VIII's third wife, who died in childbirth in 1537, is said to walk through the cobbled courtyard carrying a lighted taper.\n\n• LADY IN GREY\n\nSibell Penn was nurse to Prince Edward, Henry's only son. She died in 1562 and was buried in Hampton Church. When the church was pulled down in 1829 her remains were disturbed and it is said she returned to the rooms she once lived in.\n\n• THE WOLSEY CLOSET\n\nThe room has a 'strange atmosphere'. A phantom dog has been seen and heard here on more than one occasion. \n\nCNN NEWS REPORT\n\nPalace 'ghost' caught on camera Friday, December 19, 2003 Posted: 1:54 PM EST (1854 GMT)\n\nLONDON, England (AP) -- Are there ghostly goings-on at Henry VIII's palace, or is that hazy image of a fellow in fancy robes just a bit of Christmas cheer?\n\nClosed-circuit security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, the huge Tudor castle outside London, seem to have snagged an ethereal visitor. Could it be a ghost?\n\n"We're baffled too -- it's not a joke, we haven't manufactured it," said Vikki Wood, a Hampton Court spokeswoman, when asked if the photo the palace released was a Christmas hoax.

While aliens and Bigfoot are among the many myths, folklore and "believe it or not" there are both photos, ancient markings, historical statements and personal account of both.\n\nAborigine Paintings dipicted many forms of figures not of human formations. The most obvious clues to an extraterrestrial visit long ago are found in the drawings of ancient cultures. One such drawing is located inside a cave in Kimberly Mountain, a peak on the western side of Australia. Haunting the surface of the cave walls are paintings of several beings with round heads and huge black eyes. Calling the figures in the paintings the Wondjina, the Aborigines consider the beings extremely sacred. The Wondjina, originally drawn in some period between ten thousand to thirty thousand years ago, bear little resemblance to any known earth creature. However, the Wondjina slightly resemble the gray type of aliens reported today by alleged alien abductees. The Wondjina and the Grays look similiar because they both have large, black eyes and a pear-shaped head. Therefore, it is possible that the Wondjina are actually aliens seen by the Aborigines a long time ago. \n\nIn the Sahara desert, another strange figure painted on the wall of a cave, the "Great Martian God", is located in the Tassili mountains. It was called the "Great Martian God" because it resembled Martians found in comic books. Discovered by Henri Lhote on an expedition after World War II into the mountains, the Martian, along with similiar nearby drawings depicting space men are drawn in a much larger scale than the nearby drawings of people, animals, and ones of Egyptian influence. \n\nA small but continuously growing body of physical evidence now exists, in addition to documented visual encounters. This evidence includes: photographs and casts of footprints and handprints, with some of the casts determined by dermal ridge experts to be of unknown primate origin; hair samples found in association with encounters that scientists have determined to be of unknown primate origin; and recorded vocalizations that expert bioacoustics analysts have determined to be of unknown primate origin.\n\nNative American cultures are also rich with related anecdotes pertaining to encounters extending back hundreds of years. Indeed, anthropologists have determined that tribes throughout the continent had names for these creatures such as Nalusa Falaya (Choctaw), Tsiatko (Puyallup/Nisqually), Skookum (Chinook), Windigo (Ojibway), Omah (Yurok), Bukwas (Kwakwaka'wakw), and many others.\n\nRegardless of the credence accorded the myths and legends of Native Americans, the Texas Bigfoot Research Center maintains that the body of contemporary sighting reports, ecological patterns and relationships arising from the study of those reports, along with the physical evidence that has accumulated during the last fifty years, and our own personal observations while in the field, all serve to indicate the existence of a living species that has yet to be documented.\n\nSo maybe it is a matter of what you want to believe.  Much study and wonder has been done to document the proof, or non-exsistance of many things...........\n\nAliens, Bigfoot, Heaven, Hell, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Soul mates, the Tooth fairy, Unicorns and Christ have been under fire for years.\n\nWhich is most likely to exsist?  Belief, wonder, discovery, faith, culture or science?\n\nI would say that all things have the possibility to exsist with the understanding that all things could be fictitious.

I would say they don't, but that's based on my own experience in humans. For ghosts to exist the person should at least believe in afterlife, parallell time planes or something like that or seen it for themselves. There's nothing that really indicates their existance and although many have tried for very long periods of time to prove their existance they have failed. Same goes of course for goblins, leprechauns, witches, gods, ufos, sea monsters, big foot etc, which is what I meant by my first statement. Seemingly we feel that life is more interesting to participate in if it contains some "unknown" (or magic if you like) half scary elements. It's more likely to assume that all of these similar phenomenens are spawns of the mind, than that we live in big magic fairyland.

I believe in the paranormal... In fact I am part of a paranormal investigation group and we been around for 5 years now. I have heard EVPS that I know for a fact there was no one there and someone spoke ! I have seen something when i was a teenager that I know was not real... It was so scary i ranaway from home... I did not want to live in the house again and I never did...

I have read documented accounts of "ghosts" appearing in photographs that weren't visible when the pictures were\ntaken,and being recognized as dead family members and the like. Also,recordings have been made in houses reputed to be haunted,and voices were heard on the tape that weren't\naudible at the time. I can't believe all such cases are fraud,there's too many of them.\n \n Maybe ghosts only appear to certain people who have the ability to detect them,unlike most of us. Most people who claim to be psychics are frauds,but there are people with\ngenuine psychic abilities in the world. Also,maybe some ghosts have unfinished business with certain people. \nAs we are the living,there's no way to know.

I think the show is real, but I don't think the science behind it is. I believe there are things out there that go bump in the night, and I even believe that there are those out there that can find the ghouly ghosties... but I don't think they can do it on tv. And, I think that for them to produce a show every week, that they really have to stretch, which is why the first season was good and then it has gotten a little worse each season there after.

For me.myself...\n   Ghosts are real.............before you accept or reject this answer please read on.\n   We live in a world and a universe that contains a lot we cannot see. A lot that we are only just seeing. There are things here now that will be seen in the future. As for the spirits of ghosts I have to say that these entities do exist: but God knows you have to learn to understand!\n   First of all they are not benevolent by any means! They exist under the guidance of evil and will create an atmosphere of deceit, i.e. I was a good person from the past and will help you, please don't be afraid of me I mean you no harm, "trust me!" Spiritually they once were angels of the Lord. They followed another angel to hell. \n   Here's the problem, they aren't in hell yet! These urchins we cannot see reside here with us and by\nseductive means they take as many as they can,to follow their leader.Do not underestimate them they are POWERFUL.They follow a creature that used to be God's right hand angel. Any entity in that postition does not get there as a weakling! He was called Lucicfer and now enjoys the title of Satan. This is an extremely intelligent and powerful spirit.\n  The urchins that follow him are very powerful as well.Do not underestimate them.They will come in visitations under the guise of human beings and they will wreak destruction where you and I allow them to.They live here by God's approval and only by His consent.(For what reasons I cannot say but I do know that God gives no one any more trials than they can handle; further more nothing is ever done without His consent) Through their deceptions we have learned to call them ghosts. They rule the very air we breathe. They've deceived us with things like "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" the ghost story with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze,"The Exorcist" and so much more past and present. Should you come across any... leave it.Wether you see it or not leave it alone.\n   Here's the good news about these miserable things.\n  We do have a defense against them, it is another Ghost; the Holy Ghost. This spirit is far greater and so much more powerful than all the ghosts (read spirits) that live amongst us. This Holy Ghost you can trust.\n  Accept Him and whatever the urchins of the spirit world brings against you the Holy Ghost can and will protect you.\n  If you believe in ghosts then you have to believe in the Holy Ghost, this is your only defense against them. We as mere mortals do not have the power to go up against them yet. One day we will, but not in this lifetime.\n  Until then trust the Holy Ghost and none other.

I have not encountered one, but I could literaly take a 20 minute walk to a building where I could see them. Waverly Hills is the hospital someone mentioned a few answers back. There was also the "Ghost Hunters" team from the sci-fi channel that caught a couple of glimpses of things that could not be explained, like the thermal resonance of a humanoid figure, about that height, in an empty hall. On the second-highest floor of a 5 story hospital, with all the exits blocked off after that was seen, they couldn't find what made the figure, and the odds of a technical glitch making an exact humanoid figure looking about 4 feet tall are astronomical by any standards.

Ghosts: Absolutely not.  There is no strong evidence whatsoever to support belief in a spirit that lives on after death.\n\nU.F.O.'s: Stands for "Unidentified Flying Object."  There are UFOs reported on a daily basis, so of course I believe they exist.  This is different from believing aliens are at the helm of these flying objects.  Do I believe aliens are watching us?  Sure, I guess.\n\nOrbs: No idea what an "orb" is.\n\nWitches and Warlocks: Don't be daft, there is no such thing as magic.  If you claim to be able to exhibit paranormal activity, give James Randi's $1 million challenge a try. http://www.randi.org/research/index.html\n\nBigfoot: No.

It has always been a mystery to me how anyone that professes to have any religious beliefs (regardless of what they are) can not believe in earth bound spirits. The very basis of any religion is that there is some existence after this one. \nOf coarse little kids see them. They're all around us.

I know you may not want to believe it, but there are evil spirits that can take posession of people. I have seen it. And I would encourage you not to be too confident about your opinions on this. There is more out there than you may have encountered, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Oh, dear.  So many of them have been disproven.  Be sure to look up the methods of fraud being used as well, such as statues with yes of porous stone, etc.  Best to be careful, as the church doesn't need that sort of publicity.\nAt the same time, science never suggests that something is false because so many have been found to be false.  There may be some real miracles, and waiting for God to prove himself is hubris in the extreme.  I can think of few other apparitions I'd rather meet in a dark alley, or in the skies.\n\nThat some people have dream-like visions while awake is already proven fact.\n\nI had a "vision" of God when I was seventeen.  I still leave open the possiblity that it might have been something else, despite the wonderful results of that experience and knowing it's truth.  There are always other possibilities for what caused my experience that a sane and thoughtful scientific man should consider.   Yet, we must never be afraid to explore the unexplored.\n\nKeep searching.

I believe you.  \n\nI once met a woman who, along with her two children were abducted extra-terrestrials.  She said she was riding in a car (she told me this many years ago, so the details are fuzzy now), and the car stalled out, and when they came, she tried to turn around to her children in the backseat; but, it was like her body froze and she couldn't move.  She says they took them to someplace (spaceship?) and examined them, then returned them to the car and everything was normal again.  I believed her to the point that I became frightened (though, I was, also, fascinated.\n\nAlso, my mother and sister (who are definitely not spacy types, were moving from California to Oregon, many years ago, driving a pickup truck and a big U-Haul, when, again, one of the motors on one of the trucks stalled out, so they pulled over, and while my dad was looking under the hood, my mother and sister strolled over to a lake they had pulled alongside of.  While they were looking out over the lake, suddenly, they saw a UFO with lights.  They couldn't believe it, and my mother yelled out to my father; but, at the sound of her voice, it swooped and took off, before my father could see it; and, immediately the truck started up.  It was like the UFO had been sucking up the energy from the truck.\n\nMy mother and sister are definitely feet-on-the-ground kinds of people.  That's why I believe their story.  I know they saw what they know they saw.\n\nAlso, Baha'u'llah, the prophet-founder of the Baha'i Faith says that every sun (the sparkly stars--as opposed to the unsparkly stars, which are planets) has its planets, and every planet, its creatures without number.\n\nWhat kind of collective ego do we have to think we're the center of the universe?\n\nMaybe if they checked out my source, below.  Other than that, maybe not until they experience it themselves.\n\nNo one has to believe you.  You know what you experienced.\n\nActually, I believe we, ourselves, may be ETs.  Baha'u'llah says we came from the spiritual worlds, and when we leave here we will return to the spiritual worlds.  Might those spiritual worlds exist in outer space?  Or, maybe not, since I guess space and planets would still be considered physical, rather than spiritual.  Don't know.  Just thinking out loud.

It is a very sad statement about the population of the US that so many want to believe this sort of nonsense, and alien abduction etc. It is even worse when about 1/3 of the population does not know the earth orbits the sun, and a large fraction of US adults cannot locate the US on a globe. \n\nI will not dismiss out of hand all accounts of supernatural phenomenon, but most of it is explained by vagaries of the human mind and its processes, which is basically uncharted territory. If there are ghosts etc, where is the evidence?
