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?

I believe in ghosts, only because I had an encounter with one.   I woke up in the middle of the night once, to feel someone sitting down on the edge of my bed.  There was NO ONE there, but there was something moving, and putting pressure on my bed.  I also felt as though I was not alone in my room, even though the door was closed and locked from the inside.  I closed my eyes and I either fainted or fell back to sleep- but I know I wasn't dreaming.  When I woke it was gone.

I've had too many weird things happen to me that I could not explain rationally. I do believe there are things, events, or phenomenon that can only be attributed to the paranormal.

wow that is some story.  but i dont believe in spirits ( ghosts ). i think those are imaginary and in your head. now about that guy who slept in the room after there was a murder in there, i cant explain that. he might believe in ghosts and maybe had it in his head that there was something wrong. \nbut i dont believe in ghosts and these stories that people tell about ghosts and spirits are like made up stories from their heads or minds i should say.\ni am a christian and i dont believe that after someone dies that it could be possible for their spirit to stay on earth and haunt others. i believe that either your spirit goes to Heaven or Hell and your body stay on earth.\ni do believe in Angels. we all have a gaurdian angel that is always around us.\ni really dont know what to say about your story. i think it sounds freaky in someway and also made up. not by you, but maybe by the guy who slept in that bed after the murder.\nwho knows.

Yes, I believe very strongly in the paranormal. The unexplained is all around us.

I believe that ghosts or "spirits" really do exist.  I also believe that it is because they have a "problem" of some sort that is not yet solved to their satisfaction, is a victim of a murder or other crime; or they are caught between this world and the next world, maybe because they committed suicide.

Hi Tammy, Yes I believe in Ghosts and the paranormal.  I belong to two groups here in wiscinsin, although there is not very much activity up north  where I am.  Foolish of people to think that we alone walk this earth. I wish more people could believe, then maybe our ghostly friends would apear more often and also find resolution in why they are here.

That's a good question...I watched a National Geographic documentary on ghosts, it had some decent evidence...but if you ever watched a National Geographic documentary on anything out of the ordinary, they are going to dissect it into the skeptics point of view.  The other shows's are pretty stupid...no real proof other than believing the clairvoyant's accounts.  The Science / Discovery Channel has some pretty good stuff on supernatural that would make an attempt to believe otherwise.

People who beleive in ghosts (and I don't) say that only troubled spirits stay behind as ghosts. I am very happy. In 150 years, I will be dead, but not a ghost. And I don't think about it, other than answering this question, because I am enjoying my life in the present.

I believe in the supernatural and life beyond death.\nI don't think you should be afraid of all ghosts,just the mean ones.Violent spirits should definitely be feared,but sometimes our loved ones come from beyond as ghosts to tell us something or let us know were not alone.We shouldn't fear them.

I believe that the phenomenon we call ghosts and hauntings does exist.  There is no doubt in my mind that people in every culture, every country, and every time have experienced events they cannot explain.\n\nThe real question is "What causes ghosts and hauntings?"\n\nTo that question I willingly will say that I just don't know.  I can tell you that in order to exist on earth, ghosts must obey the laws of the universe.  If they obey the laws of the universe, they aren't really paranormal, rather just not yet with an explanation.\n\nThere are several theories that are actively being studied.  Many paranormal investigators / ghost hunters feel that ghosts and hauntings can be explained by some combination of these.  Some of the more common ones:\n\n* Ghosts are the souls of deceased individuals trapped on earth for one reason or another (this is the theory I have the most trouble with myself)\n\n* Ghosts are a psychological or physical event caused by exposure to abnormally high levels of EMF or spikes in the earth's electromagnetic field\n\n* The phenomenon is caused by an energy imprint left behind when the human body dies.  This energy somehow interacts with the environent.  Some people who come into contact with this energy may experience events associated with hauntings (i.e. hearing voices, seeing apparitions, feeling of being watched).\n\n* Hauntings are a type of recording on the environment and when the conditions are just right that recording will replay.  This is called a residual haunting.\n\n* Ghosts are a psychological event caused by various mental illnesses (I also have a problem with this theory as it would imply that a very significant number of people world have hallucinations caused by mental illness - and that just seems improbable to me).\n\n\nThere are also several different classifications of hauntings that are being studied.\n\n\n\nJaime Henkin\nPresident, Baltimore County Paranormal Research

You can't tell for sure. Just like God, ghosts can neither be proven nor disproven. It's something many people believe, but there is no verifiable evidence either way.

I have experienced ghosts.  In one home I was in w/ my oldest daughter, we had been experiencing things.  She stayed home one day and we went into the basement.  The dead center of it.  There were no boxes around us and no one else in the house w/ us.  We said the Lord's Prayer and held hands.  Then we said out loud "ok we know you are here.  Show us!"  The next thing we knew, a box was kicked on the other side of the room.  Showed a footprint and all.  Quite freaky.
