Do you believe in ghosts?

Do you think ghosts/spirits are real? Share, if any, stories/experiances with ghosts. Do you believe in them or not?

Nope! My friends think there's a ghost in my house since someone was murdered here but I don't believe in that shit... sure I hear someone playing pool downstairs in the middle of the night and my furniture gets randomly rearranged when I'm away at work... but I'm sure there a rational explanation for it all.

Do you mean like Casper the Friendly Ghost? Yeah. It's an old TV cartoon. ;)

I don't see a reason not to, There's been plenty of stories to convince me that there are ghosts. Sure its beyond our knowledge how it actually happens, but that doesn't mean its not true.

I believe ghosts are a product of the human mind. Turning what we do not understand into something we can comprehend. I remember an experiment done in which there were two groups of people sent separately into an old abandoned movie theater. One group were told that the building had a murder happen in it and there was history of hauntings and they were sent to hunt for ghosts in the building and sure enough every person who went into this building thought they saw ghosts or felt their presence. The other group, was told they were looking for ways to renovate the building and to figure out if it would be suitable for development. They were not told about any history of murders and there was no mention of ghosts to them, and oddly enough this group of people mentioned no ghosts or supernatural encounters. I think ghosts are just the mind's compartmentalization of our fear of the unknown into something we see as real and can understand.

I do, however, they are hard to prove. They are shy and won't appear around living persons.
