why do ghosts only come out at night?

I read once in a FATE magazine the ghosts generally  don't care much for noise, they will arrive when it is quiet.\nI have seen them during daylight hours or felt their presence.\nAnother theory is that they follow their "living" routine maybe your ghost is/was a night owl too.

Yes, but only at night.

Of course they do exist. This is one of the biggest mystery on earth and they do form part of the paranormal phenomena. At 14 years old, my parents and I moved in a new house. We were not aware of course that this house was haunted by some spirits. At night i was not able to sleep properly, i was able to hear strange noises and even someone uttering words in my ears. I was even unable to concentrate at school and was sleepy in class. Four days later, when we were having dinner i decided to tell my parents about those strange noises and the feeling that we were not alone in this house. I was much surprised when they told me they didn't hear anything suspect and it can be my imagination.\nHowever i had persisted and wanted to sleep in their room for the night. I had slept in their room for two days and there was no strange noises or voices. The next day i have took the courage to sleep again in my rooms in the hope that i was just an illusion i had felt. But each time i came into my room i was able to feel like a presence there. It was like someone consistently observing me. And at night at about 0.45 am ,this time i felt like someone pulling my bed sheet and was even able to hear someone walking and uttering strange words. This was driving me crazy and i had kept my eyes close and had been praying aloud till 4 am.\nI had woke up at about 7 am when it was bright outside and ran into my parents room. I had told them that i would never slept in this room and wanted to leave this house. My dad was shocked and decided that it would be better to call a medium. So he did it, the medium ( a woman) came later this very same day, and the moment she stepped in my room i had had goosebumps when she told us that there is a spirit there. She had tried to communicate with the spirits, she had lighted candles mostly everywhere and sitting on a sofa in my room, she had closed her eyes. She was in communication with the spirit and had asked it many questions. At last i had learned that it was a child ( a girl), around 11 years old who died in the year 1955 in my room. It might be that she had died of a disease. She was jealous of me and hated me because i was occupying her room. This story had drived me and my parents crazy. The medium did something to make the spirit left this house and found its way. The same night my mum came to sleep with me in my room and i was able to sleep properly. Then after i was able to sleep properly alone in my room till today. \nPeople who have never witnessed paranormal phenomena can confirmed that ghosts or spirits do not exist. But I am more than 100% confident that It does exist and it is mostly everywhere not only in cemetry. I have read books and see many articles and even watch discovery channel. Spirits are there, one cannot see it with naked eyes but can feel it. I am sure of a thing that those who dies in other conditions than a natural death do haunt this world.

Yes, people believe in ghosts.  However, what many people think of as proof that ghosts exists is merely something they've experienced but can't explain in any other way than saying that it was a ghost.\n\nPeople who are unable to sleep for several days because of an illness, for example, might hallucinate and "see" dead relatives while he is still awake. A person who didn't know it was the brain taking time out to "dream" while awake might believe that his dead relatives came back to comfort him in his illness.\n\nPhotographs of ghosts (orbs, etc.) are little more than way-out-of-focus specks of dust or other airborne particles too close to the flash and lens of the camera.\n\nStill other photographs are merely misuse of the camera. A shaky hand can cause blurs. A person who doesn't know how to properly use the "night portait" setting on a camera might see "energy" from distant lights.\n\nWhen people visit a "haunted house" they've usually been told what "ghost" is there and where. That biases the visitor--even subconciously--and the visitor will then "feel" something.\n\nJohn Edward and other "psychics" who claim to talk to the dead are only skilled in an art called "Cold Reading". A major factor in a successful "Cold Reading" is the psychic tossing out very vague references ("I'm seeing water.") and the person being "read" only remembering the "hits"--the vague references the psychic got right--and forgetting the "misses".\n\nThere is always an explaination to a "ghostly experience". It's just that the person who experienced it may not know what it is other than to believe it was a ghost.

You reminded me of my childhood days. I used to ask my father the same Questions.\n\nClouds don't go any where during night. They are still there it only that there is not enough light for us to see them. Remember when you see moon light we see those clouds around or sometimes the moon hiding behind the clouds.

I am a ghost hunter.  Yes some ghosts can, however they are not ghosts.  They are a level 3 or above poltergiest.  Ghosts in general are 99.9% harmless, the .1% that do cause harm are in this classification.  If you would like you can email me and I can give you more detailed instructions on how you can take care of this problem.  Just give me all the details of the occurances and I will be able to help.

I refer to the "ghosts" as Spirits, first of all.\nAbout 14 years ago, my family moved into a newly renovated duplex.  It was just perfect for us, and we were planning on staying for a long time.  One evening I was napping upstairs when for no apparent reason the bedroom door closed.  Slowly and quietly.  In hind-sight, I think the Spirit was trying not to disturb me, but to shut out the noise from down stairs.  On several occasions my Wife and I have seen a little boy, (Spirit), playing hide-and-go-seek. He would invite us to play by darting in and out from behind furniture and smiling at us, as to say "come on and play, it's fun!"  He was about 7 years old with blond hair, dressed in a tee-shirt and blue jeans.  We had to move suddenly due to a death in the family to care for a house that was left to us.\nI will never forget the little boy.  He will be in my heart forever.  I just hope he finds someone else to play with...\nThere was an evil Spirit in the house also.  This was a man that demanded respect with his presents.  We didn't speak of him at home, we waited to discuss the sightings of him while we were away because we didn't want to get him mad at us.  We are a peaceful family and didn't want to get on the wrong side of him.\nI'm glad you ask this question.  Thank you!

The closest thing you can get to a 'scientific' explanation of ghosts is that you are seeing some kind of 'visual echo' of the past. Because of this, they walk in an environment that existed when they were alive - not the environment you see now - so they walk through walls because there used to be an opening there, but they don't fall through floors unless they did so during their life. \n\nIf there had been stairs going down when the person was alive, they would move forward and descend through the floor at the same time. If there had been a trap-door, or a cliff edge, and the person had fallen there when they were alive - maybe even at the moment of death?! - then the ghost could well 'fall through the floor' as you describe it!

I believe that ghosts or "spirits" really do exist.  I also believe that it is because they have a "problem" of some sort that is not yet solved to their satisfaction, is a victim of a murder or other crime; or they are caught between this world and the next world, maybe because they committed suicide.

I have seen ghost twice in my life. The first time was very scary because I didn't believe my eyes, so closed them and then opened them again and he was still there. Also it was the middle of the day. Second time I woke up from a sound sleep and there was a black shape leaning over me. I tried pedaling backwards across the bed and screaming for my husband but no sound would come out. I couldn't force any sound from my mouth for the life of me and at the moment I thought it was my life at stake. Very scary, very real. My youngest child has claimed to seen different people on many occasions when no one was even there. Some say imagination some say children haven't shut down yet to that part of themselves.

Ghosts are everywhere, they are the spirits of those who have gone on before us. Some believe they are demons but then again isn't there something about a ghost in the Bible. Father son and holy ghost correct... I have a ghost in my rug ( Native American made) who visits me when I am stressed out to the max, and he sits with me and comforts me. I have had a ghost in one house where we lived of the woman who had lived there and her cat who used to just sit on the top of my bookcase... The building I live in now, use to be a ballroom and hotel rooms and Capone use to hang out around here, the ghosts in this place are not happy ones, but they don't bother me as long as I don't bother them..

People who say there are no ghosts generally are not Christians or they haven't paid real close to the teachings of the bible. there is a spiritual warfare going on at all times on this earth. \nThere are no ghosts per say but instead demons who take on the image of people in order to confuse and lead away people. when we die we sleep and wait for the end times for when Christ comes back. we do not float around and haunt things. \nwhat you need to do is walk around the house and say "In the name of Christ I command you to leave".  also do alot of praying. if this does not work then contact a parapsychologist who studies and investigates the paranormal. usually these people will not charge nothing and be happy to investigate!

Ghosts and the paranormal?

a lot of people are afraid to be alone.\nI'm only afraid to be alone here at night, I get all paranoid and a walk around with my gun all the time even if I'm just going to the bathroom.\nI dunno why I'm like that, nothing has ever happened, and I live in a gated community with security...

I've seen things that can't be explained within reason.  I don't know if ghosts exists, no one does.  Everything else is just an opinion.

That is a haunting thought. Check with the registry of paranormal sightings. All ghosts are required to sign in and be registered, using invisible ink of course.
