    There is no scientific evidence to suggest that ghosts exist.

    What people claim to be ghosts are in fact evil spirits. People that have died are dead and waiting to be resurected. Evil spirits are the dead offspring of the Watchers or fallen angels and the earth women that they bred with. GOD said in Genesis that they had no place in heaven but were to forever roam the earth.
    They are Satans progeny and they really may whisper in your ear from time to time. They love to play tricks and confuse people. They exist in the spirit realm directly next to ours. They can portray themselves as "Ghosts" of passed loved ones so that if we believe them, we are not in line with GODs truth.

    I believe in spirit manifestations. Both my Mother and Father saw my Grandfather's spirit shortly after he died. My Mother saw him first, the day he died and my Father saw him the second night. He came to tell them to take care of Grandma.

    But I do not watch ghost related movies. That mostly creeps me out.

    The Bible mentions that there are evil spirits and calls the chief one among them a deceiver via lies.


    John 8:44
    Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    KJV

    Ephesians 6:

    12 because we have a wrestling, not against blood and flesh, but against the governments, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places

    Yes ghosts are real as far as I believe.
    But I do not really believe in the spirit of the dead coming back to haunt places and that sort of thing.
    I also believe that each person has a companion from among the jinn(beings of smokeless fire-a muslim belief) and when the person dies maybe what the people see are the companions of the dead person roaming around.

    Hence some are able to contact such beings and find(somewhat )accurate information on the dead person. For example if I stayed with someone all his/her life then there will be certain specific events I could relate after the death of this person.

    And yes I do believe many people have encountered ghosts in many forms and in different places. Some of them we believe have evil tendencies while others are good (as in the human population) .I have not personally seen a ghost but have friends who has encountered such beings (and some are left unharmed, while others are harmed).

    Hello am:

    No, ghosts aren't real. Neither is Santa Clause or the tooth fairy. However, you don't have to believe in that stuff in order to BE a spiritual being yourself or LIVE a spiritual life.

    The word "Ghost" is short for spirits without bodies. It is said that the reason why people are able to see them is because they cannot move on to their final destination. They are so to speak traped between two different places. They must some how be set free in order to move on. So what we see is very much real.

    I've seen and witnessed paranormal phenomenas before that
    Cannot be understood, explained, or proved.
    I'd like to believe that I really saw, witnessed and experienced
    These things because otherwise I'm left to question my sanity, health and wellbeing.

    I think the experience I had once would popularly be termed as having a ghost encounter. Read what I wrote below:
    True story here:



    Back, when I was a young working mother, I was resting on the couch. I was exhausted. I was a postal worker then and the Christmas and New Year’s holidays had just passed. Unfortunately for us postal workers, that time of the year is always hard on us; it means a LOT of work, and a LOT of mandatory overtime hours. I didn’t mind all the work or the hours, because I really needed the extra money to cover the holiday expenses. Something my kids seem to forget.

    This one Christmas season, shortly after the holidays, I finally caved in from the heavy workload. I had gotten maybe 3 hrs sleep a day: some day’s none, and had worked for 29 days straight with no days off. So yeah, I caved, and I just let myself fall to the couch.

    As I lay there, I was thinking, I was in heaven and that there’s no place else on this earth that I want to be more than right where I was …when … the phone rang. Oddly, it was my sister calling from California telling me terrible news: my sister had just been killed in a car crash. How my sister in California knew before I did or my mother did, was a mystery to us because she lived 3000 miles away at that time. Yet, she was the first to know. I tell you I was so tired and exhausted that all I wanted to do was sleep. I think I just somehow shut out that phone call - my brain was too shot to comprehend what I was hearing or maybe refusing to comprehend what I was hearing. I don’t know which it was, or what was going on with me with that because I certainly loved my sister. I didn’t like her husband because he was abusive to her, and was always driving her and their 5 kids around, drunk. So many times, they had minor accidents because of that man. Well, finally one of those accidents killed her. I fell asleep … a better place for me at that time.

    Next thing I know, my husband comes home from work and wakes me up, telling me how sorry he was to hear about my sister. I guess the word had finally gotten to him as I slept. I don’t know how that went down either, all I know is he knew when he came home. That’s when it all finally hit me and I just cried and cried. He was good to me then; he insisted that I go straight to bed because now he was home and could get the kids off to bed for me. So that’s what I did … I went to my bedroom and climbed into bed and fell instantly out cold before the tears on my face could dry.

    Later, I have no idea how much later, but … well … first let me explain that I had this small dog, her name was Tribby, and she liked sleeping with me. Sometimes she could jump up on the bed easily, other times, when she felt like being pampered, she wanted me to pick her up and put her on the bed, at which point she would scratch on the side of the bed closest to my face till I’d pick her up.

    Now later …
    So I’m out cold, right? Naturally, Tribby begins pestering me to pick her up and bring her into bed with me. I could feel her scratching and pawing at my feet through the blanket near the foot of the bed. I lay there, sort’ve asleep but somewhat conscious of her really being pushy. Gradually, I was becoming more and more awake. Finally, almost fully awake now, but my eyes still locked in that “I’m-not-opening-up-I-don’t-care-what-you-say” mode, I started thinking, but what is Tribby doing down there at that end? Why is she bothering me from way down there?? Why not over here at this end by my face likes she usually does? Now, I’m sort of mad, because now I have to scramble all the way down to the foot of the bed and pick her up when a quick reach-over down my end would’ve done the trick and I could’ve fallen right back to sleep again with hardly any disturbance.

    But no … she had to nag me. So, I flipped over on my right side really angry with her now, when my face hit full into her fur. She WAS already on the bed with me. I jerked awake now, thinking but if she’s here with me now, what the heck was tapping on my foot?
    Let me tell you … that’s when the ma-shuga hit the fan: man, I leaped into a sitting position and immediately looked down towards the foot of the bed. There stood the scariest sight I EVER saw in my whole life! And … I knew WHO it was (I don’t know how, but I knew) and I knew WHAT it was … it was my sister … the one killed earlier that day, and here she was at the foot of my bed! She looked like a stenciled silhouette drawn in pale blue light. And it was exactly the size and shape of my sister … she was a short person, maybe 4ft 2”. She made some sort of gesture with her hands, but that is as far as she got because what I did next made her zoom off, and that was scream and scream and scream. My husband and son hearing my screams … crashed through the bedroom door without even trying to open it, knocking it off one hinge. I was still screaming when my husband grabbed me and still couldn’t stop. He found me sitting upright in bed with one arm extended, pointed to a spot on the wall. You see, when I scared my poor sister’s spirit off, it shrunk into this little ball of light and flew into the wall … to that spot that I was still pointing to when my husband and son crashed through the door. It would be some twenty years later before I would ever sleep with the light off again in that room! I mounted a night light in that spot where the ball of light went.

    No, I was not dreaming, my husband says the same thing. I KNOW when I am dreaming! I was AWAKE! Was that after life? I don’t know, I don’t think so. I think it was a kind of residue: a kind of left over-something that used to occupy time and space but was then slowly being erased.

    There it is. What it was? Who knows?

    I believe there are ghosts that do not know to move on to the next life or they are too scared.
    But I also believe your Christian/Bible replies that many of them are demonic spirits.
    I have seen demon manifestations a couple times and angels at least two times. I have also seen demons manifest through people when my friends were doing excorcisms on some people. I have also felt my deceased boyfriend stand behind me at times. One way to tell if a spirit is good or bad is you have a calm feeling or an eerie feeling.
    I have never seen a ghost but I believe they are real because of the countless stories of haunted places. I want to someday go to the haunted railroad track in Texas where you put baby powder on the trunk and put your car in neutral and it is pushed across the railroad tracks and there are hand prints in the baby powder. People that have done it more than once say it is really neat the first time but if you keep doing it it gets scary because the spirits don't like being played like that.

    Amzamz, I would have to say, first, define ghosts, then define real.
    Hello, My name is Robert and I am a medium. I deal with spirits, and since I believe that this physical experience is a illusion anyway, what is real? I have studied and worked with energies, meditation and Spirits since early age. My son died in a car crash in 1993. On the third day after he came to me in meditation. He told me the experience was like the movie Ghosts, that I watched the night before he died. Except the "Black growly figures" So in that movie, is Patrick a ghost? Some would say yes! I don't believe there are bad spirits, only bad people. I do believe that what you believe, you create. Perception is very powerful. Lots of people send me photos, that's how I work. They feel they are being haunted, I read the photo and ask them questions about lost loved ones. Turns out, their GHOSTS, are simply lost loved ones, dropping in to say hello! It is very rewarding!
    OK... I've gone on long enough! Hope this helps!
    In light, love and peace, Robert

    Yes I know ghosts are real I saw someone out on my porch he was a little boy maybe 8 years old. He had a black short sleve shirt on. I only saw his elbow but I believe it was a ghost. I was sitting my my window when I saw him. When I moved the curtain he was gone...

    Yes I believe ghosts are real firmly and truly. When I was around 8 years I was wide awake in the middle of the night while I was petting my dog Misty, my believed friend, who had died two days earlier. I think that's enough to make anyone believe... but I suppose that you have to witness the paranormal to truly believe it. I have a weird little ability of my own but I won't say it... everyone always tells me I'm lying or finds it the... weirder part of me among other beings of my personality and self.

    People who say ghosts aren't real have never had an encounter with one. I have had many encounters starting at a very young age. I woke up in the middle of the night and there was a "white" figure standing right beside my bed as if looking upon me. Two nights later, my grandmother died. I saw this figure again a few years later and my aunt died shortly after. My father saw my grandmother a few nights before he died. My mother saw my grandmother the night before my grandfather died. I don't know why some people see them and some people don't. My sister has never had an encounter. But I truly believe in them. I know what I've saw and I know my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. I don't have any explanations, I can only tell you of my experience.
