Are Ghosts real to you?

As a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."

Metaphorically, ghosts are haunted by a life left incomplete.  When a person dies suddenly or violently they are ripped from the world they know and do not know to leave it behind.  But can a ghost be haunted literally by other ghosts?  No.

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.

a ghost that can interact with the living is called an intelligent haunting and yes they do exist.\n\nI've heard stories of ghosts asking the living owners to "Get Out" or say "Help me"\n\nI read one encounter where a person was knocking on the door of a house waiting on the owner when a female voice said "Just a second, I'll be right there" just as the owners of the house pulled into the driveway.  (the voice was coming from the empty house).\n\nSo yes ghosts can interact with the living, but i think its very limited.\n\nhere's a really good example thats been documented\nhttp://www.paranormalsoup.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22950\n\nPlay the evp link.

GHOSTS? Yes. In the summer of 1977 a ghost took up residency in my electric fan. It was very entertaining. Had a penchant for ABBA tunes and sang to me in a weird electric voice. It lasted for just a few months then disappeared. I still miss the ghost.  \nWITCHES? Yes. I went to elementary school with a girl whose father was a Warlock. Nice guy but those big bushy eyebrows made him look scary.  \nKELPIE? Yes. When I was very young I saw a "pony" swimming in a bayou in Baywood, Louisiana. I ran home and told my Grandad about the swimming pony. Grandad asked me what color it' eyes were. Red I told him. Grandad became excited and told me it wasn't a pony at all. He called it a Kelpie. He said a Kelpie was a water "imp" that took the guise of a horse to entice innocent folk into the water with it. Once the victim entered the water the Kelpie would return to it's true demonic form and drown the happless swimmer.  Grandad forbade me to return to the bayou ever again and I never did.\nBLOODY MARY? Yes. I remember some years back I was dining at a truck-stop. A drunken trucker was dared into saying "Bloody Mary's" name three times. He did. After the 3rd time he excused himself to use the bathroom. He never returned. The cook went into the bathroom to see if he was ok. The bathroom was empty and quiet except for a broken mirror over the sink. No trace of the trucker at all. I heard his Semi stayed parked at the truck stop for 4 days before it was towed.\nVAMPIRES? Yes. I saw one years ago as a spectator at a carnival. He was a pale, bald, bony man dressed in black & gray. He was wiping his mouth of what looked like ketchup. He caught me watching him. I felt uncomfortable and turned to walk away. As I did I faced a Fun-House mirror. There was no reflection of the strange man. He was right behind me! Surely there would be a reflection! There wasn't. That's when I realized he was a vampire. I ran through the mid-way until I caught up with my friends. I never told them about the vampire because I knew they would never believe me. \nJACK the RIPPER? Yes. There is documented proof Jack the Ripper existed. The question is who do you believe he was? Some Historians say he was a respected Surgeon others believe he was a prominent member of High Society while others claim he was a member of Brittain's Royal Family. Me? I'd have to go with the Surgeon theory because of the proffessionalism of the knife wounds. Experts claim the wounds were very precise and were administered with expertise. \nCANDYMAN? Yes. The legend of the Candyman is just a variation of the "Bloody Mary" legend. They are one and the same theory but the Bloody Mary legend is much older than the Candyman .  \nBLACK CAT THAT CROSSES YOUR PATH? Absolutely. A black cat has no supernatural powers ......unless it is a "Familiar" sent by a witch to cast a spell. A familiar is an animal (cat, owl, rodent, wolf, etc.) charmed by a witch or other sorcerror to cut-off or "cross" an intended victims path. By doing so the essence of the spell or curse will possess the victim. Folk-lore has it....since the animals were small or at least not very large they were only capable of containing mild spells like clumsiness or "bad luck". Fortunately A cursed black cat is the only supernatural element I have not encountered in my strange and very eventful life (aside from Jack the Ripper that is!)...So far!

Good question! I think that ghosts can be around because i always thought that they were not finished with something  here on earth and they want to finish it. Poltergeist are evil and i am hoping they don't exist but if they did i guess they are just angry souls that need to express themselves.

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.

I don't think most people "see" ghosts per se; they experience them. When most people tell you about their encounter with a ghost or the supernatural, the things you will hear most often are tales of cabinets falling over, doors and windows opening themselves, toilets flushing, floating cats, ect.

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 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 lived with a ghost for around 4 months before it became too violent for me..and I had to leave..There were many occurances every day..and night..and I thought it to be rather "cool" living with a ghost..I woke up one night and actually saw an apparition at the bottom of my bed...\nIt was not long after that..the violence began..and I got outta there.. I have ended up back to that very house 4 times since I moved very far away..and of those 4 times  ending up back there..none was my doing......and for each time..the vehicle I was a passanger in died..the engine just stopped..as soon as we began proceeding down the same block as the house...\nParanormal is all around us...Many look at it differently because we cannot explain it...so..it is considered by many as phoney and non-real..people are scared of what they cannot understand..but..from my experiences in this life time..I can assure you...it is all REAL..life certainly is full of endless surprises..just waiting to be found out.
