Do ghosts exist?

[DeadDogNoGoWoof]

I'm surprised this topic hasnt come up yet. well, if your reading this, here's the reason im posting this.

Last night i saw somethin that's gonna scare the sh*t out of me probably for the rest of my life. I was upstairs in my house comin out of the shower. I was burshing my teeth, when my cat right oustide my bathroom suddenly looked up, from being asleep, and the door opened, no one came out AT ALL, atleast nothing that I could see, and my cat suddenly watched this invisible figure walk across the room, into the bathroom, and straight towards me. By this time i was f*cking scared. By the time it came close, I felt so cold I LITERALLY fainted, to wake up five minutes later. I stumbled to sleep, woke up the next morning freezing. after looking at the thermometer, 58 degrees. i'm still freaked out as i type this.

I know probably no one will believe me. But what i saw and felt is true.

EDIT: Ok this is really fucking scary. I was outisde playing tag with kids on my street, and i said what happened last night, when my neighbor, whom is 10 yrs. old, actually saw a ghostly human form in his house at almost exactly the same time i fainted. And he actually got a picture. I hope you will be as freaked out by this as I already am:

P.S this is not edited in ANY WAY. I saw the photograph.

 

[Insane llama]

Yeah i had the same problem it was the middle of the night and something ran up and punched me in the stomach i thought it was my little brother so i stormed out of my room shouting you Ass what was that for! The next thing i know theirs this invisble figure standing their in my hallway looking like "what"? then it just walked of now i cant damn sleep "the reson being is i found out someone died in our house in the spare room"

 

[harper]

Yes they do exist! But fear not those who can kill the body but not the soul.

 

[Lord Finarfin]

Umm...how do you see or watch an invisible figure? :?

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't being invisible mean you can't see it?

Oh and btw, I hardly ever believe I read on the internet, so don't expect me to. I'm just wondering how you see an invisible person. :?

 

[SeaGull1723]

Meh. You guys need to stop posting ghost topics. And I have to stop responding to them.

 

[Afronight_76]

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! for the last time GODDAMNIT NO!!! ghosts dont exist, when someone dies, they are annihilated, gone, poof, clear from existance and return to the earth or whatever. that photograph is the biggest pice of BS i've seen. anyone can take a picture of someone under a sheet, then cnp it to another picute with some transparency to it. i can admit that there are supernatural ocurrences that happen, whatever they are, i can assure you, nay, guarantee you they are not spirits from dead beings.

 

[lorothrigs]

i think they are real in spirit but do not have an actual physical form, ghosts are mainly psychological but im not really the one to decide.it's just my opinion, and to the door thing that happens to me many times but its bcuz of the atmoshperic pressure difference, and if something "punched u in the stomach" then i advise u either get help or an exorsist.

MY MY MY WHAT AN OUTSPOKEN OPINION YOU HAVE.

"Ghosts" is a very broad term. I believe that, yes, there are spirits on this earth which do not possess a coorporeal form. They are not dead, they just don't have to go back to being living anymore, since they're done with that phase. The correct term would be "Intelligences". They are an unseen source of inspiration, an addition to your consciounse, and a guide to humanity into unexplored areas of the psyche. This is what I believe.

actually i sort of agree with you there, i do believe they are something, but people that have come back from the grave. personally i think they're demons. not like the ones on warcraft, but the kind that posess you and make you hear voices in your head.

 

[Eusira]

Ghosts, if any, would not exist. But that does not excuse the phenomena like in that hotel thing in the South (US) and things like the mystery spot (CA, I've been there) where even something like a battery or any sort of ball would slowly roll up a slope. The fact is, the ghosts would probably be just a projection or a phenomena-- I like to call it a Radon leak in your house.

The human body's life is just the fact its able to function. Life or a spirit, is just your brain. When you die, your brain fades away, hence no more "spirit," unless there is an etheral or eternal afterlife in things like Christian religion, and that of others.

Finarfin: If they are able to catch pics of ghosts with cameras, then cams probably have the optic properties to catch certain wavelengths of light we can't necessarily see.

 

[Lord Finarfin]

Perhaps a camera could capture a so-called ghost, but according to that he and the cat saw an invisible figure. And last time I checked, humans couldn't see anything invisible.

My logic>all =P

yep, same, i agree

oh and it wasnt a ghost, it was probably the wind when me and my brother were about 10 and 12, and were home alone, we were watching the tv, and then saw the doorknob turn. That sure freaked us out!

 

[SeaGull1723]

Uh oh. You must be playing too much Warcraft or something like that lol. :roll:

Anyway, I despise that little picture for our sake. There are people who can just edit the picture with a high tech program and claim that there was one.

I think Afronight and GreyArchon got good points. Ghosts can't necessarily be seen through physical eyes, but if so they're probably just wanderless things that do strange things to people.

 

[harper]

Well, ghosts has other means to let someone know their presence.

 

[GreyArchon]

Why, I do believe Doctor M is about to say something quite unintelligent. Let's hear it!

 

[Doktorr.M]

Ghosts do exist, i' m actually floating thru the wall...

 

[GreyArchon]

To continue upon what I believe.. note; form your own opinion, I am not declaring any truths here.

A negative intelligence inspires people in negative ways. Like a positive intelligence can inspire you suddenly to make a great piece of art, write a good story, or something else, negative intelligences will inspire you to more morbid things. It is strength of mind which keeps those things at bay. Psychopaths and the like have no more resistance against negative intelligences. Their mind is an open door.

About the cat, I think it is true that animals and very young children are more open to the paranormal. We see things as we understand them. That which we don't understand, we don't see, or see in odd ways which don't make any sense to us.

Like positive intelligences influence/inspire humanity to better themselves, negative intelligences are not as charitable. They only exist for themselves. For them to keep on existing, they have to be constantly remembered that people know -they are there-. So they try to grab people's attention. They want to be recognised, and will do anything for it. It's the only way for them to be reassured of their own existance.

If you were not noticed by any other being, would you really exist?

 

[Eusira]

Plus, the only other way ghosts can exist are if those idiotic "energy field" discussions on those stupid health radio shows are for real, thus leading some evidence. Also, remember that animals and certain devices have optical properties not in humans, making them able to detect stuff. Plus children are very gullible unless they are spoiled beyond imagination or a born genius

 

[angel]

If you ever been in a haunted house , you would think otherwise, youd crap your pants, of course theres ghosts!.

 

[Dark Dragon]

I have actually seen a ghost/spirit/soul. i... just saw it go down the stairs. then i didnt see it anymore. and im sure it wasn't some1 in my family. just a nearly invisble shadow.

 

[2eus]

Dude's I realy don't get your problems. If there are
ghosts floating around and scarying people let them
have their fun. . . I see this kind post thousands of
times. I just don't understand why you can't let the
ghosts have their fun spooking around And just
a question. . . would it help you knowing that ghosts
exist. . . don't think so.
My opinion is. I don't realy care if they do but
to the people that just can't sleep because they
have to think about the almost invisible things floating
around I got a good hit! Buy one of those funny things
that can deteckt ghost and that stuff and spend the
rest of your live searching for them.

 

[Ninja-Khan]

No. Ghosts are merely a figment of your imagination. I recall a brief moment of observing a illustrious scientist telling that the earth's plates can rub together in a distinct abnormal pattern(Causing an earthquake for those of you who rather fool around in science class) that produces a special vibration. When this vibration comes in contact with the human brain, it making the mind project hallucinations which can be mistaken for "ghosts". These are simply my opinions. I rather believe factial information rather than your guess.


Now, I'm NOT saying that souls don't exist, because quite frankly I do believe they exist. Do NOT make the common mistake that ghosts and souls are the same thing, because they aren't.

 

[harper]

My friend(s) you maybe in a state of spiritual dryness to its most severe stage. Part in you is longing to connect to the spiritual realm. Sublate the sins of the flesh and posits yourself to the positive energy of life. Let that be the one to govern and condition your mind.

 

[Eusira]

Maybe the earthquakes are giving mild concussions to our head we cannot notice. I still believe those who see ghosts get s specialist to test for hazardous substances leaking out of the ground, into your lungs, and clotting the blood to your brain. Maybe some people believe in ghosts due to culture, religion, or are traumatized by those prick idiots that spread word of supernatural phenomena, thus implanting a malicious mental probe into our little minds while forming. It happened to me, but as far as I know, I wouldn't care if a ghost kills me, but I would if it defies all scientific theory and possesses me, and creates a pithole of my hard-earned life

 

[Teppana]

For those who has seen ghost: you just haven't slep for long time, used something weird stuff or somtin' like that.

I find your avatar picture highly erotic.

It is a wild orchid that inspires the lonely & cures sadness. I do hope you get what I mean.

Personally, i believe in judaism. Therefore, I believe that once a human being dies, he/she is reincarnated to fulfill his purpose in life. He/she will reincarnate until he/she fulfills his purpose.

[TheLastofMyKind]

I also dont believe jack on the internet. Its possible to do anything and easy to lie so if there are ghosts then bring them on but I highly doubt that you can see somthing thats INVISIBLE. and cats have the eyes of hawks they dont stare at transparent souls they stare at flying bugs, fans, or your ugly face, which my cat does to me alot. so boom! burned!(just kidin')

 

[Lord Finarfin]

First off, Judaism isn't reincarnation. That's part of the more eastern religions, Buddhism I believe.

Second, the continued existance of the thread sears my eyes every time I look at it. Could someone lock it? I'll give you a cookie...

 

[Leinad]

Geez, nice topic to start an aggravating debate over...
Personally, the picture doesn't seem real to me. For one, it doesn't seem very ghost like do to the nature that it looks like a human with a robe on. This conflicts with both my personal belief of the nature of ghost and the more "professional" research on ghost. Next the bicycle in the back ground sorta dissolves behind it and if it was see-threw, well, you know(this also hints at an cnp). However I cant prove its not real since it very well could be. Also, I do believe that DeadDogNoGoWoof story could be true.
In an attempt to shed some light on this topic, I can easily say ghost are NOTHING like the movies and media would say. The magic "ghost detecting" devices are usually just random mechanical equipment combined to like weird so it will sell. As far as I know of, there are only a few technologies that can detect the possibility of ghost. One is temperature sensing devices. A cording to Ghost Hunters (a great show on Scifi) ghost will absorb energy from there surroundings which is why things are often said to be colder in the presence of a ghost. Due to this, heat sensing infra red (I think) can see the differences in temperature and detect a ghost that creates colder temperatures in an area. Furthermore, EVPs, (which I dont know how they work exactly) can pick up sounds that humans cant because there electric (or something like that). As far as the cat thing goes, yes I think cats can sense spirits (not see them). One can safely say that animals are much more in tune with nature and likely can sense such things thanks to that. As far as children, its probably because they ether exaggerate things or there mind haven't been closed by our pathetic culture.

 

[TheLastofMyKind]

This is all just a waste of time, if you believe in them, then good for you dont talk about it since you know some might believe you and some might not, or you may get others that are very sensitive, or really scared, they might believe you and you just messed up there sleepy sleep time because they think that a ghost is going to appear. Let this die or someone lock it please. And yes cats and other animals are really intune to nature, they act weird when they might sense a earthquake and bugs may go crazy but I dont think they will stare and follow something unless it looks like lunch.

 

[harper]

Infact I am now becoming one & being the last of my kind so most probably you will not be seeing someone like me anymore.

 

[DeadDogNoGoWoof]

you may not think it but i've been reading all these posts religiously (no pun intended) every time another one comes up. I'm posting here now cuz I saw some interesting thing on some 'ghost hunting' site that I dont really trust. well, anyway, they had a government video, in which government officials doing research on this subject put infared cameras all over a house that was claimed to be 'haunted'. The infared camera's picked up nothing all night, except one camera that showed huamn-like red figures walkin all over the hose. creepy.

 

[Jamir]

ghosts DO exist. :roll:

days ago, i've watched a news on the tv about a ghost appearing on a picture that somebody has taken.

this is the story:
the shot was taken during the woman's birthday. apparently, when they have developed it, the face of the ghost of their cousin who already died was seen between them and was smiling at the shot. at first I thaught this was a fake, but when they went to a psychic and let the psychic to take look at the pic, he said that it was true and no faking had happened. he also said that ghosts appear once in a while because they have something to say, or they just don't want to die.

well, the picture i assure you(when you see it), it's very creepy. oh well, i really have neutral feelings about ghost existence, but that pic really deserves my approval...

 

[DeadDogNoGoWoof]

Ok. DIE THREAD DIE. this post is getting old. fast. very fast.

 

[porndirector]

Wow ghosts And psychics. Well thats it, now I'm a die-hard believer, because all psychics are definantly gifted.

[Dark Destroyer]

I Don't think ghosts exists...
Here are some reasons that some people may believe in them...
If you have glasses, they might be dirty.

Whitish smoke might have entered your house... (It might happen...)

You were hallucinating.

The wind might have moved objects around.

Somebody might have moved objects around

There might be fog...

You might be dreaming.

You might be thinking about it so much

You watched a scary movie.

You accidentaly moved an object, and thought it was a ghost.

You might have exhaled during a cold night winter, and thought your breathe was a ghost.

Somebody was pulling a prank on you.

You may have bad eyesight.

Your cellphone ringtone maybe the sound of a ghost.

There was a projector at the incident you saw a ghost.

There must have been dust under the light, at the incident you saw a ghost.

Somebody was watching a scary movie, with the volume turned up very loud.

....I have many other reasons...but I don't have time...

 

[harper]

I believe in ghosts & thread necromancers. They are supernatural & loaded w/ occult powers. Example; they can raise the dead threads w/ their mystic & unholy powers back to life again. :shock:

 

[-Vindic@tor-]

There's no evidence for ethereal beings floating arround, but... one can believe what one want, right?

@harper: Btw, I believe in noonhost-ghosts :twisted:
