Well whenever someone says knock on wood. I make them do it why you ask? my friend had her drivers license for about a year when we were driving and she said everyone said i would get in a car accident my first year driving, looks like they were wrong "knock on wood" She knocked on my head and i said you better find some wood to knock on, she laughed. Well later that night i got a phone call that she totaled her car, she was OK but her car was demolished. So no matter what even if i have to pull off to the side of the road i always find some wood to knock on.

Never whistle on a Sunday\n5. It is unlucky to open an umbrella in the house\n6. Seven years bad luck if you break a mirror\n7. See a pin and pick it up and all day you will have good luck

Yes, but it is amostly common with certain cultures who have superstitious beliefs. For example the Garifunas has the belief that they can be possed by spirits even if the individual does not know the spirit. They believe that spirit comes to give messages and they do so through the living. For this reason they believe that that person who is possed will talk and do things just like the person when he or she was living and they can also do all sorts of rare things to themselves and others without actually knowing what they are doing.

I have them. Some people believe and some don't, but I know for me, it happens.\nThe usual stuff is knowing when somebody likes me or not, I can tell right away, just by looking at the other persons eyes. Also, I can think of what they're going to say before they say it, that always happens. It don't usually come to me when I'm alone. But if I interact with someone, I can get a lot and they don't have to say a word. These are the most prominent, the ones I get from other people. Now if only I could get it to work for tomorrows lottery numbers....

That is nothing but superstition. I have changed the name of my boat, departed on a Friday after eating split pea soup and successfully circumnavigated the globe single-handed. There are a lot of superstitions and if you believe in one shouldn't you believe in them all.

Yes, I believe in them & most people I know claim to have encounters as well.  \nSpirits do have to draw on energy, which is why lights can flicker or short out when they appear. When they cannot draw enough energy, you may only see a partial apparition, or the ectoplasm only.\n\nAs for the question on clothing, a spirit is said either to wear what they were wearing at the time of their death, or another theory is that when you die you are able to choose what form you wish to take (IE: most taking the form in whih they appeared at their best).

"Believe in" leaves wiggle room for doubt. I have no doubt: ghosts exist. Ghosts are simply discarnate beings whose energies have shifted to another dimension that overlaps and connects with our own.

i dont believe in ghost persay, you know, the ones that float around and rattle chains, moan and groan, but i do believe in spirits.\n\ni believe the spirit of a loved one is always present. a spirit is the essence of love, you feel it in your heart, a warm feeling of peace and safety. i do believe in gaurdian angels, again the spirit of a loved one protecting you.\ni believe that my gaurdian angel is a much loved uncle that i was with when he died, i have had experiences that i just could not explain, but when ever these things happen, he is the first thing that pops into my mind, just out of the blue and i feel his presence, his love.

I investigate them. I believe in a wide range such things---spirits, ghosts, demons, elves, lephrachauns, faeries, pixies, dragons, sasquatches, aliens, non-organic beings, etc. I have investigated all of these thinsg and experienced them with my own senses. \nHowever, for many people it wishful thinking. For example many people come to find these creatures through a fantasy that they exist--because they want them to exist. Howver cultural pressures also play a part in it. Many people believe in god just because their parents did and everyone else they know does.

I don't, but I think those who do, need to believe that everything has a place and reason for being, that nothing is random.  A comfort to those who believe.
