I think most "ghost" experiences people have are actually extra-terrestrial/extra-dimentional beings. The "greys" as they are known are able to make themselves invisible, but you can see them sometimes, sort of like the predator in that movie. You can sometimes see a faint outline. And they do like to play little games like moving things around, and making noises to see how you react.

Also that's why you hear so many reports of children "ghosts", because the greys are usually quite small and child sized, although there are taller ones too.

I am with this comment, I do feel some energy is in existence,what that is I haven't the blueprint for nor I doubt has anyone else.

Totally agree too with the fortune tellers comment too,well described.

I haven't actually rubbished the belief at all. I've just explained things in a rational manner. There is far more beauty in the workings of the natural world, than stories about the supernatural.

The results of the poll are disappointing though. More people are willing to believe things without any evidence at all, than require some kind of evidence for their beliefs.

I don't think Ghost's exist as in, the ones in films - but spirits coming back to earth are definitely true.
Do you have any evidence? Or is it just a "gut" feeling?

The older I get, the less inclined I am to believe they do and that there are other explainations for things that happen around us attributed to a spirit world. Not to be pedantic (sorry) Is ghosts the right word? I always thought the term spirits was correct or some other word to describe them?

It just makes no sense.
I dont think you need 'hard' evidence to believe in something. If thats the case then how do religions work?

Well there just isn't any evidence at all, never mind "hard evidence," apart from anecdotal personal experiences, and I've explained why we have those.

People will believe what they want, but without any kind of investigation into other possible causes.

Through the indoctrination of children. Myths fed to children become reality.

Good post...I believe a spirit must still exist and 'be' somewhere...but that doesnt mean I'm right...there is no evidence to back it up. Beliefs are often things...crutches maybe..that people sometimes feel the need for....doesn't mean there is any foundation or evidence at all...but no one can take them away from them...I could believe that shoes work miracles..they give women a super power....they are the second coming.....maybe they are

It would be awesome if ghosts existed, cause it means there is life after death.

If i ever saw a ghost i'd be like OMG this is so cool! it means i never have to fear death! There IS an afterlife! That would be a very freeing feeling i think.

but I don't really believe in life after death , not in that way at least(i know all of my atoms will still exist though), so i guess i don't believe ghosts exist.

I definitely believe in extra-terrestrials and extra-dimentional beings though.

Why?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Has anyone ever seen the ghost of a dinosaur? Or is it just humans in Victorian clothing?
