I'm a ghost hunter. I became one because I lived in a haunted house. It has quite a few spirits residing there. Ghosts are everywhere. Ghosts don't appear the same way the majority of people on here don't believe in ghosts. When the people on here who say they don't believe in ghosts finally die, they won't be appearing to people. They won't believe they can. It's the power of the living persons belief that allows a ghost to appear. A ghost can sense a person willing them into appearance, the same way a person will call a person on the phone when someone is thinking about them. Ultimately it is STILL up to the ghost whether it will appear or not. Most ghosts don't have time to screw around with the living. The afterlife is far too full of decisions about where and even "when" to take off to rather then to stay here and mess with a living person who really can't do anything for them anyway. We are beneath the ones crossed over. We have nothing to offer them. That is why they don't need to interact with us. Even family members are far too busy for us. In the afterlife, time travel is possible, far distances can be accomplished within seconds. Why be around a bunch of jerks like us, when you can be enjoying the joys of swimming with great white sharks in the blue oceans of Hawaii???? DUH!

Some believe in heaven or hell, some it's reincarnation, some stick around on earth for various reasons.  My opinion is when you die you are gone.

Yay, a question directed towards my beliefs! I don't have a concrete belief about why we are alive....but I think its because we want to be, and because we want to learn. Most humans seem to crave knowledge and what better way to gain it than by living? As to the after life I believe in a place called Summerland which is where spirits wait to be reincarnated.

I believe that I will have no afterlife.\n\nOr rather, I believe this: I cannot imagine a god so cruel as to condemn me to an eternally unchanging afterlife. Sure, I can imagine enlightenment that could last a long, long time--it would be interesting to explore the universe and unlock its mysteries, or to reincarnate over and over as different beings, up to a point--but I cannot imagine any existence for eternity without it becoming horrible.\n\nAnd thus, since I cannot believe in a god so cruel, I believe that either there will be no afterlife at all, or there will be no afterlife for the being that I consider to be "me." In other words, if what I become after my death can somehow find fulfillment in an eternal afterlife, then it won't be "me" and therefore not worth worrying about.\n\nI'm young--around 40--but don't see any reason to want an afterlife. I certainly want to not-die in this life, though. I find this life just fine, and would like to experience a lot more of it. I just don't want eternity.

I had always believed in God because I was taught this through the religion my family raised me with. Yet as I got older I started to find other philosophical answers and I am more of a spiritualist now rather that say follow a religion.  Yet I had a near death experience in 2001 and saw a place that my ethereal body was heading for which gave me complete understanding that there is life after death and God is that maker of life and light/love. Without believing in God in this life creates a lesser understanding of the next one.

I believe that when they die, a part of them stays within us, especially if we were close to them when they were alive.  Everything in the world is made up of energy, and whenever we meet someone of significance, we carry a part of them with us, when they were alive, and even more so after they die.\n\nI think they are always around us after they die, helping us get through this lifetime, especially during the times we really need them... the signs are subtle though.  But if we are open to their vibrations (beyond our judgements and skeptisms), we will see, hear and sense them.

I believe in immortality through ascension of planes and dimensions of reality in which we constantly evolve, are always aware, an the closer you get to reaching your ultimate form the more talents and abilities and knowledge and wisdom you'll have in this current life. It's not quite reincarnation because that entails dying and being born again new. What i believe is you never die, and are never renewed.

I personally believe that we are reincarnated and there are others in the universe...others don't believe because they are narrow minded and scared, they could also be young souls that don't have much experience.

People who have had near death experiences no that consciousness continues after we are clinically dead. Many people have reported floating above their dead body on the operating table and being able to give clear details of what was going on around them, like what the doctors where doing and saying.\n\nWe lived as conscious beings before we obtained physical bodies here on earth and we will continue to live as conscious beings after our physical body dies.

Yes...I believe most all of us have except for the very "new" souls. I've had past life regressions done...very interesting!

i do, to an extent. have you ever watched Ghost Whisperer? on friday nights? well it's a show where there's a girl that can see people's spirits and all of them have something that they need to achieve before they can "cross over"... she finds a way to help him/her achieve this and then they leave. \n\ni think that that is the way it happens. when a person is too stressed out about something when they die, their spirit will stay until the stress goes away.\n\ni think that there is a chance that there are other people out there (aliens) but i dont believe that we'll ever meet them. \n\nmajic totally confuses me. i do not understand it at all, therefore i dont have an opinion on it. i do believe that some people have the ability to do majic, but i have no clue how or why.\n\nlove ya andrew!\n\np.s i could have sworn that when i was at my great grandma's house i saw my grandma's dog (dobbers) looking at me (he died)... totally freaked me out!!!!

Yes, I believe as a Muslim in life after death, judgment day, heaven and hell.\n\nBut I believe too that the spirit after death cant wonder with the living ones, but they live in another place.\n\nHowever there are another kind of spirits that live with us that we cant see them but they can see us,  they are spirits of creatures that we call "gen". They are like humen, some are good and some are bad.

No one REALLY knows, but my opinion is that we either cross over into a spiritual world or not - that's easy, yes or no.  If we do, then ghosts certainly are possible.  Our souls are immortal, or they just cease to exist when the body dies.  Maybe some souls haven't crossed over yet, are wandering around for awhile, maybe until something is resolved to them.  Seems there would be many contacts, but there aren't, and I really don't believe in Mediums - the ghosts shouldn't need them.  Ask your mom and grandma about their experiences, if they are willing to discuss them, and learn as much as you can.  Talk to other family members too.  I think they are sincere, or definitely believe, even if possibly they're just having dreams. I wish I knew someone who has ghost experiences.  I hope there is an after-life.  Good luck in finding out.

i don't believe in a hell .. i do however believe in many levels of spirit world ( heaven if you wish )\nwhat we learn here determines in a sense which level we achieve\ni don't believe in damnation as our spirit is ever growing and learning so even bad actions in this life may have been a great lesson for the next\nthere is proof of spirit ... if you read the right things ... or see a reputable medium ( and i mean reputable as so many fakes out there or ones not knowledgeable enough in what they do )\nand if you get that proof of spirit then you can take that a step further by reading about spirit teachings .. such as silver birch or white feather \none book i found fascinating on the subject was " life beyond the veil " which is a very old book and hard to get a hold of .. but if you manage to .. its well worth the read

i've thought about it.  I guess we don't know.  Maybe we wake up when we die.  But then to we go to "heaven" or do we wake up in our real life.  If this is all a dream, then have our "past lives" if we really have had past lives, other dreams as well?
