I believe that negative karma causes people to take rebirth as Hungry Ghosts.

While sufficient scientific data has not been gathered to prove the existence of the paranormal, psychology tells us that we don't see the world exactly as it is. Rather, we see it in ways that are convenient to us. That in mind, the argument that "ghosts," or other paranormal phenomena exist outside of our perception has some plausibility. It could be argued that perceiving spiritual energy would have considerable effect on how we carry out our daily lives, and thus such perceptions exist outside of our normal awareness. Innumerable accounts of paranormal activity have been recorded, and while many are not empirically verifiable, they suggest that unexplained occurrences are not exactly coincidental. Furthermore, these accounts provide evidence that we don't have complete awareness of the nature of the world we inhabit.

The CreateDebate community decided by a 30-11 vote that ghosts should not be allowed to vote. The reasons were ghosts don't work, don't pay taxes, how would they vote, they don't have rights, they have no hands, they need to stand up for their rights first, and only humans can vote. Only two people said ghosts don't exist, and one of them later changed their mind.

we do not simply disappear after death there has to be something after death heaven or something

I believe in ghosts because I believe the spirit of those who don't die in peace still roam the earth trying to finish what they haven't; but mostly because when my sister in law when to Bachelor's Grove during the day when she was an older teen with her best friend just to check it out and take pictures. In one picture, you can clearly see a woman all in white, sort of transparent, holding what looks like a baby. It gave me chills and went home that night and did some research. I found many websites that talked about this woman and that confirmed it for me. This was one of the websites- she's under Famous Ghosts as The White Lady. http://hauntedhamilton.com/gotw_bachelorsgrove.html

Yes because I've heard a lot of stories from family members about seeing or sensing their passed away loved ones. For instance, when my great-grandmother died, she left us a clock that rang every hour. When we put it in our house, it never rang. It wasn't until my brother's birthday when it rang. Ever since, it only rings on our birthdays, holidays, and when family members are fighting.

I believe in ghosts because how can you make contact with the dead? Mediums actually help a lot and they make me believe more in spirits. Also, there are things that happen that can't always be explained. Sometimes the mind plays tricks on you, but there are ways to show that yes, there are ghosts and spirits around.

Yes, because when I went to my friend Sam's house, I was going to sleep on the couch. I woke up in the middle of the night to get water, and I saw a creepy, white, glowing female. I tried calling out to her, but when I went up to wake up Sam, She disapperard. The figure disapeared. I couldn't belive it, Sam didn't believe it, nor did my best friend Katie. Ever since then, I've believed in ghosts. They scare me and are creepy.

I think ghosts might be real because sometimes things that you can't really explain happen and the only explanation that I've found are ghosts. I 've also heard a lot of stories from people that I know that really make me want to believe that they exist. Now I've never seen one but just because you can't see something doesn't mean it's not real.

I've played with an Ouija board and got some shocking results. A friend and I swore to do it for real, without purposefully messing with it, and a spirit answered as a boy that lives in my house. Whatever was moving this also spelled out d-e-a-d. The other time I used it at a friends house, I had to stop because the noises coming from her kitchen got pretty loud.

Every time my dog lays in my bed, she'll stare into the same spot of my room or bark at that spot.

I think these events were too odd.

I have had family and friends experience paranormal behaviors and I myself have experienced things I have not been able to explain. There is nothing in science that can prove it to be wrong, yet there is science that helps us understand the possible existence of these phenomena. Sound Wave Detectors for example. As long as there is still a possibility or unexplainable situation, I believe these phenomena are existent. Considering science and logic has tried proving otherwise, the influence it has on people who are extremely sure of what they saw or traumatized do not get affected by explanations that are given to them that try getting them to think otherwise.

I believe ghosts are real because I feel as though when you die your spirit may not have passed, like your presence is still around. A lot of people have encounters with things that cannot be explained that they can relate back to a loved one who has passed. I don't believe that things like that just happen without "someone"/something behind it. My family has had experience with seeing family members who have passed and those we died trying to communicated with the ones living.

I have to say that yeah I believe in ghost. In each culture there is at least one or more myths of which there is an after life or a spirit that comes from the afterlife. It makes you think how much of those stories are real. Not to mention I have my own experience when I was younger where me and my brother were sitting in our room. I was angry at him for some reason and all of a sudden we felt this gust of cold air and then our toy piano came on out of no where.

When a person dies, their brain and heart live and function for few minutes. The same thing happens with the soul. Spirits tend to stay on earth because they have unfinished business or because their death was so violent that they do not know they are dead. I believe in ghosts because when my sibling passed away my family members experienced abnormal activities in the house like the dogs howling for three nights, pictures falling form walls, and shadows moving across walls.

I definitely believe in ghosts. I believe that when you die your spirit exits your body and is supposed to either go to a 'heaven or hell' however something may go wrong and they end up staying on earth as a spirit. My mom is a weirdo and my great grandmother comes to her in her dreams and tries to tell her stuff. I've had weird experiences with the ouija board causing me to believe in spirits. Also just a few days ago my co workers and I were talking about ghosts because we work in a nursing home and a lot of residents have passed away there. Anyway, as we were walking to punch in the community bathroom door swung open- now because it's a nursing home and we have patients in wheelchairs the only way you can open it is by pressing the button. Nobody was on either side. It really freaked us out. I have also done research and this is a link of some cool proof- http://aformerskeptic.com/evp.html

Yes, I believe that ghost are real because I have heard a lot of stories from people that I know have felt or seen a ghost like activity. I believe in ghost because one time my family was all togeather for my grandma's death anniversary and every one felt a her presence and felt an attachment with her being aroud them.

Although there is no scientific evidence proving that ghosts or some sort of entity exists, there is video and audio evidence from many people that has been broadcast by the media that shows that some sort of ghost was present where they were. I have not had any personal experience with such things, but I know family and friends who have told me stories of how they've been close or in contact with one. Although it may not have the comical physical presence that the movies show, people I've talked to have told me that there's been a strange feeling in the environment or a change in temperature, even a heightened sense of fear or anxiety from such experiences. As stated before, I believe there is a sense of some sort of entity in various environments or in certain events.

Yes, ghost are real because I hear them laughing at me from my closet at night.

I do believe that ghosts are real. One reason that this can be, is just because ghosts don't exist, doesn't mean that they are not real. It's just like a magician when he makes an object disappear. That doesn't mean it's gone, we just can't see it. Another reason is there are multiple stories and there are thousands and thousands of photos with things that seem ghostly in them. People have said, if you don't believe in ghosts, you don't believe in angles. So again, I believe ghosts are real.

Ghosts are real. My definition of a ghost is the spirit of a once living human being that either permanently or temporarily bridges the barrier between earthly and beyond earthly boundaries. I believe that these spirits can be present to watch over people as much as they can be here to "haunt" people depending upon their particular situation. I believe I have come across some of these spirits in the past.

Ghosts are real because they're the after life. Ghosts are believed to be disembodied spirit or soul of a once-living person,sometimes even animals. Ghosts are usually those that were once living persons that dies in a traumatic way or their burial ritual was disturbed. Many people believe that ghosts are demons or evil angels. I believe that they are just people that were once real and they're not comfortable in spirits.

I feel like there might be something there, there could possibly be a spirit lingering, this could possibly be interpreted as purgatory. In the catholic religion the holy spirit is a ghost, and I am catholic so, yes, I do believe in ghosts.

I think ghost are real because I have kinda experience it and heard ghost stories from my family that has happen to them. Also, I seen a lot of ghost shows and it actually looks real. I always believed that the death come back as a spirit. In my house one time I had a glass on the top of counter and it fell and literally broke into million of pieces. Which is impossible because it didn't even hit that hard.

I do believe in ghost. I believe in the holy spirit which I think is considered as a ghost. I have also heard many stories about ghost, and I believe some of them could be true.

I believe Ghosts are real. Just because you haven't seen something, or experienced something doesn't mean it's not real. There are A lot of sane, honest people that have had ghostly experiences and even though I haven't experienced anything my self I do believe that there has to be something after we die and that science can't explain everything
