GHOSTS

[alandhopewell]

     As a Christian, I vote for Option 3....I do know they exist, however....

I agree with Alan. The closest I've even been to a "Ghost" was in my aunt's house. I was going into the kitchen and when I turned on the light I saw a form disappear through a locked door that led into the dining room. All I could make out clearly was a blue plaid sleeve with an old man's hand sticking out of it.

I'm not a believer.

Thus far I've seen nothing to make me believe, but I suppose I must admit that I kinda want them to exist...

The now refurbished National Film Archives building at 698 Church Street East, Pretoria was and probably still is haunted. You do not want to be in that building after 10 pm, trust me on that one.  I have never seen anything there but there is an area of that building where there is an icy cold spot: move out of that area and it goes away. Very scary.

I would love to live in a world where ghosts exist. Nevermind the metaphysical ramifications, I think it would be fascinating to live in a house with a malevolent spirit. Not pleasant, necessarily, just really interesting.

But I don't believe in them. I think the human brain is always seeking connections and trying to form connections where none exist. It's actually quite shocking how much human perception "fills in the blanks" for the stuff it doesn't notice.

Ghosts would be great, though.

I'd like to believe in ghosts too, if only because then I could finally fulfill my childhood ambition to become a Ghostbuster. Seriously, what could be better than bustin' ghosts?

When we move back to our refurbished premises, I'll give you a call to come help out with our "friends" there.

I love ghost stories, esp. down here in NOLA, where there is so many ghost stories to be told.

[Olivia Bauer]

Give me a scientific explanation and I'll believe they're real. But as it is, I find ghost stories to be bull crap.

[Vik]

I voted imagination. I don't think they exist, and even if I did I doubt any of those explanations would be correct. I think it would be scientifically explainable, even if we can't.

[Flick James]

I am open to the existence of supernatural forces. However, I have an underlying distrust for human beings. Humanity's imagination is both our greatest asset and our greatest downfall. People embellish, exaggerate, even outright lie, and for a number of reasons, so I believe firmly that most recollections of ghosts, UFO's, etc., are mostly, if not completely, the product of imagination, even if the person recollecting is convinced of the truth of it. This does not mean that I dismiss the supernatural/paranormal. Quite the contrary. I am very fascinated by it. I just don't trust people. That sounds terribly cynical. I trust people in other ways, just not when it comes to the supernatural/paranormal.

UFO's

I wouldn't put ghosts and UFOs in the same category.

UFO's

I wouldn't put ghosts and UFOs in the same category.

I understand they are different things, but they still fall under the general umbrella of "unexplained mysteries." Besides, when it comes to people and my distrust of them when it comes to these kinds of things, no, I don't see any difference.
