Has anybody out there seen any spirits or ghosts out there? Or seen something other worldly?

My belief in ghosts ties in with my belief pertaining to the afterlife. I believe in personal truth, meaning that if Mary believes that she will go to Heaven when she dies, she will go to Heaven when she dies; if Joe believes in reincarnation, he will be reincarnated; if Lucy doesn’t believe in an afterlife, than she will just cease to exist.\n\nI also believe in ghosts, and that you can become a ghost several different ways. If you believe you will become a ghost, than that’s a given; if you’re unsure of what will happen after you die, you will be stuck in limbo until you figure it out; if you do not fulfill at least one lesson or goal predetermined (by fate) for you to complete, you will be incapable of moving on into the afterlife until whatever is left incomplete is accomplished; if someone is unable to cope with your loss than their grasp on you will hold you back from moving on until they find closure; or if you have some sort of personally set goal you wish to finish before leaving, you have the chance to do so as a ghost before moving on.\n\nI have had a ghostly experience, as well. My late dog, Kristy, died early in January of 2004. Later that year, my fiancé and I were watching the house for my parents while they were gone for a few days. Being the only two living beings in the house, I could not explain this phenomenon any other way than to say that Kristy had stuck around. My fiancé and I had been downstairs for the past few hours watching TV. I went upstairs to get something from my room, and in the hallway outside my door, there was a oval-shaped section of carpet, the same size Kristy was when she would lie down and curl up, that was matted down and warm to the touch. I called my fiancé up and he noticed it too, so it wasn’t just me. Why else would the carpet have been warm and matted down if it hadn’t been Kristy? Besides that, for a few months after she had died, from time to time I would hear the jingling of her collar as if she were scratching her neck, or I would feel as if she were in the room with me.\n\nYou don’t always have to believe in something for it to exist.

i have seen something odd twice. the first one when i was a child. i woke in the night and for no reason felt compelled to go into the kitchen and look out of the window, when i did there was a round light in the sky which was stationary. after a few seconds it zig zagged with incredible speed,, 3 or 4 times bfore shooting off. i was facsinated at the time and could not believe my eyes, and for many years i doubted my own experience until one day i read about someone who spoke word for word about what i had seen in a magazine and i have never doubted myself since. this is true and those doubting thomases out there will always scoff, but i say to them scoff away it is of no consequence to me. i would love to know of any other genuine sightings.

some people think they saw a mysterious "ghost" or "apparition." I saw a picture someone took of his friend, just his friend, and a girl was standing beside his friend in the pic. No one really knows if ghosts are real, but people do make a living looking for 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

I've never seen anything like the things people describe when they're talking about ghosts and I don't believe the stories. \n\nBUT\n\nI have seen the shadow of a woman cast on a wall with nothing visible between the wall and the light source. I've also seen black silhouettes of people in my peripheral vision which blink back to normal as soon as I try to take a proper look. \n\nI entertain a fanciful theory about time travellers that might explain it and also sudden drops in temperature.\n\nThere are ghosts of conscience, certainly. The imagination playing with feelings of guilt or of sympathy. Those hauntings, I concede.

By "seeing ghosts" what do you mean? Like apparitions? On ur jungle trip what did the ghosts u saw look like? I have never "seen" a ghost, but I have felt spirits and heard things. My dad came back to see us when he passed away. He always told us not to be afraid when he passed on, becos' he would come back only once to make sure we were okay, and then he would be gone forever. We heard him (my sister and I) rummaging through drawers (opening & closing) and then we felt him standing over our beds, of course we were kids and we got scared, but nothing else happened after that. I think ghosts were people who died violent or premature deaths, and have no idea that they are dead. The spirits I feel/hear are people who have accepted their death and need to tell someone they are content and will be okay.

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.

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 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.

Oh! How fun! I have been on a couple excursions with some friends of mine. Start up convos easing in on the belief of ghosts with some people and see If they want to check out some of the local "haunts" in your area. Look up places on the internet...Its possible to find others who won't think you're weird.

I saw my first spirit when I was 14. It was the summer of 1987.(showing my age)My cousin's best friend was killed in a bicycle accident. About 2 months after his death, he made his appearance at my cousin's house outside his bedroom. Since then I seen the spirit of my grandfather (who died a year before my birth) on the 25th anniversary of his death. I believe in psychic abilities...somehow I can receive people's thoughts, but, unable to do it at my own whim. I am able to "know" information about someone that just pops into my head. Again it is random. Try this short activity, when the phone rings *minus caller id* predict who will be on the receiving end. Think of someone that you haven't been in contact in a long time, see if you bump into them or hear from them.

Yes and yes.  On more than one occasion I have either seen, heard, or felt the spirit of someone who had passed.  A little boy use to visit me at regular intervals.  He would stand next to my bed until I would sense him and open my eyes.  He would smile, then disappear.  I haven't seen him since my second son has been born.  We smell smoke every time my wife's grandfather is near.  In our old house, there were cold spots that moved around the house.  Our cats would move around the spots like they were trying to avoid running into someone.  I watched two surgeries being preformed on myself and was even able to give details and repeat parts of conversations and actions of the doctors and nurses.

Yes I have had experience of spirits too and I am a Christian. Many Christians are spiritually sensitive and can sometimes see through the veil that separates heaven and earth, the spirit world and us.\nThe bible does indeed say that spirits exist and I think that the whole existence of our world would not be possible without God who is spirit and created all the spritual worlds first.\nJust look in the Bible it does say that there is more to this than just God and us. In fact it says "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual rulers, the authorities and (something like) dark powers". Look it up, I'm sure e-Bibles can bring it up for you!\nI have had experience of spirits, me and my dad both smell the same perfume and that was heavy and like roses that apparently my great grandma used to wear. I told my mum and she told me he used to smell it as well although I am too scared to tell him!\nHe might think it's weird, we have both had scary experiences at night while in bed but the difference is he has had it many times and me only a few. The first time I ever did I prayed and was saved from the terror that surrounded me. It was like pure evil in the room and I had never been as scared. So I prayed and saw that God was faithful to me and that the God I had learned about in Sunday School was real! I Have been a Christian ever since and Thank God whenever I get it  (about twice a yr but it's unpredictable) I can call on his name and KNOW that he will save me and never leave me to their mercy to suffer and be terrified.  I don't know how my dad can stand it, NEVER do ouija boards ppl my dad did and again although he only mentioned it once, it can seriously cause you problems if the spirits don't want to leave as they sometimes dont. \nI belive they are fallen angels, that angels that rebelled against God with satan and were expelled from heaven. This of course made them very angry and want to get revenge. So they see people as the way to get to and hurt God by trying to destroy them and make them do evil so they will be condemned along with the evil one on the day of judgement. We are innocent in this dispute and so God has given us a second chance in the form of his son our messiah who saves us but only if we turn from our evil ways. The holy spirit restrains evil from engulfing us and keeps our world relatively peaceful even tho we do evil, that is how merciful God is!\n\nThe devil is also jealous of us for being able to have a loving relationship with God because he cannot and has lost his chance. Who knows what he did that was so bad he couldnt be given a second chance but to rebel against God when you already have a favoured position as Archangel then that seems kind of impossibe to do so it must have been a BIG deal.
