Are there really spirits/ghosts among us?  Have you seen one?

they are not ghost neither it's spirits from dead people because dead do not return back from death but they called 'Jinn'. they are invisible creations they see us but we don't see them. they do have brain and live similar life as we are but have different capabilities than humans. they can be Jewish, christian, Muslims or any other religion. there are jennies live with humans in their house and other lives in empty places such as the forest or desert. God told us about them in the Quran.\n\nyes i know how jinn look like. have you ever seen a dog? not quite look like a dog but very similar to them. they are like mix of human-dog. they are in different colors. and they are so fast similar to the speed of light. many of them (but not all) fear humans and especially from the religious one. but if you ever miss with them, they can hurt you. but even though they can hurt you they still taking a risk. jinn can shape himself to be look like anything, and they like to shape themselves with cats. \n\nalso another invisible creatures are devils and those are generated from Satan (Satan married a Jinn). their job is to mislead humans and make them do things to lead them toward the Hell. \n\ndevils and jennies cannot see Angels. but Angels can see them.

Yes, ghosts are real.  I have felt them, and I have dealt with several of these poor souls.  \nHere's one story, but it isn't much, it's something that happened to me:\nMy good friend Tyler was killed in a car accident in fall of '99.  The last time we spoke, I told him that he HAD to come visit me in my new apartment.  He promised he would.  A few days after his funeral, in the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of someone coming into my apartment.  It sounded like the door opened, but it was still closed.  Whoever it was walked throughout the apartment, taking their sweet time, then they came and stood by me, where I was sleeping on the couch (one hand wrapped around my baseball bat).  \nI couldn't see them, but I could feel them.  It was Tyler, I know without a doubt.  After he was gone, I sat up and smoked a cigarette, wondering at what had just happened.  Then I went back to sleep, feeling very peaceful, and happy that Tyler had kept his promise, even in death.\nIn the morning, I started to think it was a dream...but there were three cigarette butts in my ashtray (I always emptied all of my ashtrays before going to bed).  Two were Marb Reds, which are what I smoke.  One was a Marb Light, which was what Tyler smoked.  \nCoincidence?  I think not.\nI have had other encounters with spirits (including more with Tyler), but that one is my favorite, because it was so personal.  No one else can back me up on it, but people can back me up on the others; they were there.

The answer to your question Is really NO!  However,\nsometimes the mind plays trick on us and we think we see a ghost. I know that I have. At night walking down a dark dirt road, I could have sworn that I saw something in the road. When I got brave enough to go check, it was only a dog fennel sticking out in the road. The wind was making it move.

Funny you should mention that, I had an encounter just this evening. No kidding, it really scared the cr4p out of me. I am due to have my home investigated by a paranormal team this coming weekend and they did warn me that the activity here would probably increase 10 fold. It sure has done that in the past week or so.\nThis is only the second time I have seen a shadow figure in my home and I am sure it won't be the last either.\n\nWhy do you ask this question. Email me if you wanna talk ok?

I haven't actually encountered a ghost, but I have encountered waking up, and not being able to move, like my whole body is paralyzed, and not being able to open my eyes.  All I can do is squint.  I have then felt someone touch me, another time I felt a kiss on my forehead, and one time I did see a shadow of someone. (maybe a ghost)  Meanwhile, I couldn't move thru all of this.

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.

Ofcourse they do. I lived in a supposedly haunted house for 4yrs. and I saw a ghost or two. I'm not being sarcastic. I too belive in the paranormal.

Wow, that's really fascinating! I love ghost stories and would love to see one, but I never have. However, here are some things people I know have seen...\nIn kindergarden I had a friend whose dad was in the airforce. My friend saw him one day long before he was supposed to come home from work, or so he thought. The man he saw was wearing the airforce uniform his dad wore and he only saw him from behind, and from behind it looked just like his dad. He saw him work into his parents' bedroom so he went in to ask him why he was home so early, but no one was in the room. He checked the bathroom and even under the bed and in the closet and the man he thought was his dad was not there, no one was in the room. The window was locked. His dad came home about 3 hours later and I don't think my friend ever told him about it.\n\nAlso, my uncle died of a heart attack on Halloween several years ago, and when my little sister was born my parents gave her my uncle's name as her middle name in his honor. She's 9 now and for a few years she's said that he is her guardian angel and she can see his spirit at times. When we moved into our new house, she was terrified to go into the basement without all the lights turned on and someone with her holding her hand. One day I went into the basement to get my art supplies and she was there playing with legos. I was shocked and asked her why she wasn't afraid, and she said it was because he was there.\n\nI find ghosts and spirits fascinating rather than scary, and I think it's so cool that my sister can see her guardian angel! ^^

Yes, there are ghosts- but we don't really know what ghosts are, that's the problem.\nAs I see it there are 3 kinds of ghosts-\n1. Spirit of the dead trapped here- classic ghost\n2. Psychic residue from traumatic event - this ghost is like a tape loop that plays over and over\n3. Window in time where we can see the past or future.\nThere is also poltergeist activity, which is thought to be the \nuncontrolled emotional energy of a young girl in the vicinity, and is not really a ghost.\nI don't get faced with ghosts all that often but I just talk to them, as if there were a friend standing next to me instead of just a cold spot in the empty air.\n ADDED:\nIt runs in my family, my mother and grandmother had great intuition...\n\nI've noticed in studying near-death experiences that people see what they expect to see-if they are religious they see angels, if not they see the earth spirit in some sense...\nand many see loved ones who have died previously (even if the near-death person didn't know that person was dead). What I'm trying to say is that some very confused dying people may not\nrealize they are dead, or they resist dying so strongly that they get trapped here. This is considered the "classic ghost", and I think this is actually very rare.\n\nI think the more common ghost is the "residual emotion" ghost. This ghost has no consciousness, it is just a energetic replaying of the traumatic event again and again. While these can be truly scary, I think they fade eventually with enough time and work.\n\nI think ghost-ness could happen to anyone on the wrong day. Faith won't save you, neither will science. The classic ghost often just needs help to realize they are dead and move on, or some are doing something they consider to be very important amd are not ready to move on. Lots of classic ghosts haunt places they lived, and they stay to maybe to warn others or to keep an eye on  their beloved home.\n\nThe residual ghost is not an entire soul, just a soul fragment or echo, usually caused by a violent death. So my local hanged-man ghost is just a recording of what happened, that soul  is not there any longer but the house is still badly haunted by the negative emotions set loose there.\n\nI actually think the reading of the Tibetan Book of the Dead is very powerful, it's a guidebook on how to release your hold on the dying body and merge with the universe. It's read during dying, and for several hours afterwards as the soul lets go and travels to its rightful place.\n\nI've learned some protections through my own shamanic practice, and I'm learning more through my friend's new learning set on Witchcraft (white, by the way). She is actually much more religious than I am, my friend the witch, and I am expecting to learn the Sephiroth and a bunch of other stuff...\nUh, get on with it already- Okay... For instance, I am blessing graveyards in my area right now.I take some time in my car to envision my helping spirits and to see myself putting on a protective cloak. Then I walk around the property, and on all its roads. Along the way if I feel anything I welcome it and I breathe it in. Then I get in my car, I go home,and I sit and meditate and feel everything I picked up breathed out and envision it going into the ground to be absorbed by the planet. Then I see myself taking off my cloak.\n\nAnything else? I have felt dangerous things, I have sometimes avoided these things or gone forward to tell them they should tell me what they are. I know the website of an experienced ghost hunter where she warns of certain types of hauntings as being, she feels, non-human and very dangerous. I haven't had that feeling but I do not normally go wandering graveyards at night with instruments and cameras.Maybe I should, it might be fun. They do a protective prayer before they enter and when they leave.\n\nI have a lot of theories but of course we only have so much proof-\nThere a

I believe in ghosts, but have never seen one. I think I have felt one, however - I think it was my grandma's ghost and she placed her hand on my shoulder but I looked at it and there was nothing I can see. Then, she must have left her hand because I felt something going off my shoulder.

I have seen Shadow People.  That is not all that I have come into contact with, but yes, I have seen them.  They can range from simply inquisitive (watching you), to mischevious, to truly malicious.  Shadow People, from my experience, are much different from ghosts, in that a ghost is a dead individual that has left some form of imprint in our world.  Shadow People come from somewhere else, call it a different dimension, a different world, or a different realm.  They are not from here, and they are never 100% here.  It is similar to standing in a door way, with one foot in one room, and the other foot in another room.  That is how Shadow People are with our world, or reality.  I hope that helps some.

My house is haunted. Not in a scary, eerie way, just that there is a parallel world going on here. I have actually seen a young boy in the house (not my kid!) who was floating in my daughter's room/doorway. I just happened to look that direction and he was looking right back at me. He seemed sad, or maybe he was in trouble. I looked right into his eyes. And I got this feeling that he was trying to communicate with me. My ex-husband was in the same room and didn't see or feel anything, though he thought I was nuts when my jaw dropped and I couldn't get any words out. My ex was in another part of the room and didn't see him. The ghost just faded out after a second or two, but as my brain was trying to process it, he was gone. He was a good-looking kid, shorter blond hair, brown eyes, white button-down, long-sleeved shirt, beige pants. No shoes or whatever--he looked like he was floating in the doorway. I think he didn't want my ex-husband to see him. The boy generally only makes himself known when I am alone. My present husband saw a glowing orb zooming and zig-zagging across that bedroom one night, 4 or 5 swipes, all the way across the room, over the bed where our daughters were sleeping. Needless to say, he was pretty freaked out by it. He has come to recognize the haunting as a necessary fact of living in this house. \n\nNo I am not a freak. I don't go out and look for strange things to happen. I saw this kid, I know I did. One night, I have heard footsteps come down the basement stairs and call, "Mom?" while I was doing laundry, and I yelled at my son to go back upstairs, that I already tucked him in for the night. NOBODY WAS THERE. I wasn't really paying attention to the kid coming down the stairs, just heard that familiar, "tha-dump dump" coming down the stairs and the "Mom?" It didn't really sound like my son but I was busy sorting laundry, not doing voice analysis. Anyway, I stopped sorting and went up the stairs, thinking my son was up at the top of the stairs. He wasn't. I was pretty upset as it had been a long day and the kids weren't minding and my husband was gone on a business trip. We live in an 80 year old house and the floors squeak. If my son had been out of bed, I would have heard him go up the stairs directly overhead. I called out for him and HE ANSWERED FROM HIS BED. I swear I heard somebody call me and jump down the stairs. That's when the hair stood up on the back of my neck. HE had visited me again. I sure wish I knew what he wanted.\n\nI have been advised to tell the boy to "go towards the light." I usually do this when he freaks me out. Sometimes things disappear and reappear right before my eyes. The house was built by a young couple in the late 1920s and they lived here until they died (she in 1964; he in 1974). There weren't any deaths in the house that I know of (they both died at the hospital). However, I do know their son had a serious car accident in 1965 and the wife and children were seriously injured--the one boy died. I suspect that is who I've seen. \n\nThis haunting is specific to our home. The people who lived here and played here may still be here. I think they like it here and (especially the old grandpa) are here protecting and taking care of the place. I like sharing the house with them, and I've told them so. The stove one time turned on by itself overnight. I let them know that is NOT acceptable. Sometimes in the morning on the weekends we smell food like pancakes, bacon, sausage. Just in the morning before we get up. Strange. That's okay--it smells good. They can make breakfast--just as long as they don't turn on the appliances again!
