Does anyone believe in a non-Christian paranormality or spirit world...maybe?

Lots of people believe that there are spirits among us, and not necessarily the Christian spirits you know. Some say there are ghosts here (which are spirits of people who died on earth but have not yet left earth to continue their journey). Some spirits may not be ghosts, but spirits that come here to guide us or visit us. Some people call those angels, some just call them spirits. \nIn short - there are a lot of theories about what kinds of spirits are here, and many different beliefs. Some people communicate with them, and say you probably communicate with them too, even though you're not aware of it.

YES!!! I belive in all of it\n\nTo those that have answered....I have quoted and responded to your words....\n\n"Much of this stuff dos indeed exist--but as a true Christina I stay clear pof such demonic stuff. "\n Ghosts, Magic, witches, wizards etc are NOT DEMONIC stuff! Ghosts are our astral form if you will, and is not concidered any form of the devil! Second, MAGIC is everywhere, Christians call it a Miracle! You can not deny MAGIC if so would be denying GOD! (I reference to God because he said he was a TRUE CHRISTIAN)\n\n"As entertaining as it looks, no. You have to believe in one or the other - God or the devil. "\nUm, WHAT?! Read explanation above! \nWitches are not Devil Worshipers in the first place (and devil worshipers dont always do EVIL! I have a friend who is and has never done harm to anything!) Wizards are a form of Witch but not exactly. A male and female can be called a witch. I do not know about wizards for I have not read up on them as much!\n\n"ghosts: most fall into one of a few categories, ie residual or one that is like a video loop that is replayed from time to time....there \nis no, and can be no interaction with it, it is just a moment in time that reappears....poltergeist: this is a nasty one that gets physical\nwith victims; typical "haunt": an entity with some form, perhaps\nthe visual of someone who hasn't crossed over\nmagic: depends on your definition....magic, miracles happen daily\nthey're just small and only noticeable to those that they happen\nfor/to..\nwitches: are we talking Wicca...the religion of nature?...or are\nwe talking hollywood?\nwizards: usually had more to do with alchemy and chemistry than\nmagic..... "\nHe has the better view out of anyone that I have read thus far. I give you much kuddos! Thanks for helping me explain what I wanted to say!

I don't just believe, I "know" from deep within. I can't look at all of the good around me, all of the gifts I've been given, the lessons I've learned, and the "coincidences" that appear right as I need them and not believe. But, I also don't push my beliefs on others. I consider myself an "independent spiritual" as I do not lock in to one religion but take wisdom from numerous religions. God loves everyone whether they believe or not. I find that things go best when I remind myself to relax and trust in God's plan.

Yes I do believe in ghosts... If there is life before death, there has to be life after death - YIN-YANG....

I believe in a spirit realm from which many return to communicate and some get called ghosts.\n\nThere is no supernatural...merely the natural waiting to be identified in the natural law.\n\nDreams are about our unresolved emotions in our conscious state and the scenes outline the emotions for our use in determining the resolution.

well i believe in sprits, ghosts, etc...\nJust because you don't see something with your naked eye doesnt' mean that they don't exsist.  I have had weird things happen to me since my father past away 15 years ago.... sometimes i can be sitting in a chair, no one in the house with me and it feels like someone just pushed on my back... so some people would say i was crazy, i think it was a ghost, be it my father or brother or other family member that past on, or maybe my angel, that touched my shoulder to say that they were there.  I don't think that we should open a pandora's box by trying to open a port-hole for evil to come through... but the ghosts will contact those they want... as far as your fathers car, i believe that happened, but i wouldn't give into it or try to give it power...\n\ngood luck

I do believe in ghosts/spirits. I never encountered any spiritual situation but I do believe that if the soul won't rest after death, it will find a way to make its presence felt by humans...maybe it's a way of finding peace in order to leave the real world and be set free. Some people might think that the presence of a ghost/spirit is bad news....when in fact it might be a way of letting the person know that the person whose spirit is felt is watching over him/her...like a kind of protection. \n\nWell, if I ever find myself in this situation I'll run for my life! Yes, I said that I believe in them but did I also mention that I'm scared of them?? :/

I have encountered them, and have quite a substantial list of friends who have encountered them. Some things just exist whether you want to believe it or not.\n\nI have a few theories on how someone becomes a ghost, but I should probably explain that I believe in person truth, first. I believe 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 afterlife, than her body will decompose and she will cease to exist. Thus, one way someone could become a ghost, is if that's what they believe will happen to them when they die. For the sake of further clarification, I believe a ghost to be the soul of a living being (including plants and animals) who’s body dies.\n\nAnother way would be if someone dies when they are unsure of what will happen to them after death - their soul is then stuck in limbo until they figure it out. Someone might also become a ghost if there is at least one lesson they have not learned or one goal they have not completed (predetermined by fate), and are stuck in limbo until they learn the lesson(s) and/or complete the goal(s). A third way would be if someone still alive is incapable of coping with the death, and consequently holds that soul back from moving forward until they are able to let go. Finally, someone may also choose to stay behind, for personal reasons.\n\nHere's a little story if you need some convincing: My late dog, Kristy, stayed behind as a ghost for some time after she died early January of 2005. My fiancé and I were watching my parents' house while they were away for a few days. We were the only living beings there, and we had both been downstairs for the past few hours. I went upstairs to fetch something from my room, and just outside my door, I saw something I couldn't explain away as something natural. There was an oval-shaped area of carpet, the size of Kristy when she laid down, that was matted down and warm to the touch, as if she had just been lying there not moments ago. I didn't think much of it as I knew she was still around; I would occasionally feel her presence or even hear the jingling of her collar, as if she were scratching her neck, just beside me. She appeared to stay for a while after we adopted our new puppy, Sam. He was remarkably easy to housebreak, and I'm sure Kristy had a hand in it. I think she also stayed behind to somewhat "approve" of Sam, and to be assured that he was not her replacement.

Supernatural, metaphysical and what not...I think people have different reasons for believing them but my gut feeling is that nature is so incredibly amazing and beautiful (like you said) that it surpasses the worldliness that we are saturated in in these times; thus, one cannot help but be moved by something so deep, so profound and so fundamental in nature that one may be inclined to seek the source of this beauty.  I think that's where people look towards that which is beyond our corporeal borders and the limits of scientific explanation for what we feel is sometimes so strong that we know there isn't always an explanation for it...but those are just my opinions...\n\nGood question.

It has always been a mystery to me how anyone that professes to have any religious beliefs (regardless of what they are) can not believe in earth bound spirits. The very basis of any religion is that there is some existence after this one. \nOf coarse little kids see them. They're all around us.

I believe in ghosts, but I'm not convinced that they are the souls of deceased people.  There are way too many other possibilities out there.\n\nJaime
