Do You Believe In Ghosts?

[Ted the Tiny Cactus]

Granted, this thread is more than likely to have been made before. But this time, you're not just answering the question - you're expressing your specific beliefs, possible experiences, fears, dreams, opinions and such about ghosts. What do you envision their physical appearance as? Have you ever encountered one? Don't be fooled by the simpleness of the poll - feel free to explain everything you think or know about ghosts.

[Cirmentia]

No, I believe in no such thing.

[Kursed]

Ghosts? :O well... i think they're somewhat made-up. Like the boogey man. Except like, More scary :L

Btw, isn't this thread already made? :O

[Bate]

no.

[PooZy]

Nope, not real, unless you mean in a metaphorical way

[TheShadow]

Do you believe in me?

[Ted the Tiny Cactus]

Do you believe in me?

Not exactly, no...

[Delta]

Nope.

[aNiMaL zEr0]

I do!

[Rammjet]

Of course not, people who believe in ghosts are delusional in my opinion.
I think the main reasons people believe in ghosts are:
-Excitement
-Attention
-Boredom

I agree, yet I haven't fully decided yet...

[Kursed]

-Attention

Umm uhh... why would some person want attention by believing in ghosts? :s

'Oh yeah, I saw a ghost one time!'/automatically becomes centre of attention/

I believe in ghosts, I ain't delusional.....I don't care about attention, I'm never excited, and it's not boredom....
But if you actually knew who I am, I probably would just say I wouldn't believe in ghosts. I find it a bit embarrassing that I believe in ghosts...

If believing in ghosts isn't a delusion, there should be evicencial means to support your belief in ghosts.

I'd change my views if you showed me they exist.

I become jealous of people - especially little kids - who explain to me in that "calm serious" voice that he or she had an experience with a ghost and tries to convince people they're real. Doesn't that just annoy you?

I'm not delusional.....

[Rammjet]

I'm not delusional.....

It's simple enough to prove that; just provide empirical evidence that ghosts exist.

If reality can't provide evidence ghosts exist, then believing they do is delusional, because delusions are 'erroneous beliefs which are not supported by reason and or evidence,'.

But what if? Just what if? I'm not delusional, bored, or excited, but what if? I'm not believing or non-believing. I'm asking myself what if? Think about it.

IF, they exist, there should be experimental evidence. The best we have is TV zed-listers filming infra red documentaries in spooky mansions.
Why would ghosts glow in IR anyway? It's living bodies and other heat sources which do that, not the deceased.

No, I don't think they exist. Would be really creepy if there were ghosts who would constantly be watching you, even watching me type this. It's kindof weird people think something like ghosts exist, since I don't see what they would exist of then.

The exact same logic applies to most paranormal things, like souls, daemons and gods.
