Ghosts and such

[WarxePB]

This is a pretty overused topic, but I don't think we've had one in a while, so I'll pose the question to you: Do you believe in ghosts? Why/not? What do you think is behind them? Let's hear your theories.

As usual, regular debate rules apply.

Well I kinda believe in ghosts. I don't think they're sprits or anything, but I do think they're there.

Ok, heres my theory, time travels in a helix pattern. Sometimes differant parts of the time span get close to eachother at certain spots, when this happens, virtual images of the past become visable. I don't believe these 'visions' can interact with any present day objects or anything like that. And it kinda makes sence, most ghost stories involve people from the past doing things that they usually did, so maybe thats what we're seeing.

Meh, I'm not going to try and argue if I'm right or not cuz I don't have anything to back my ideas up :p

...because I actually saw one. I have a ghost story to back what I say up.

One day, I was playing with my little brother when I saw a man in my house. He was wearing a light blue button up shirt, a dark red tie, khakis, and dress shoes.

I sent my little brother out of the house, I searched the house, then I called the police. I'm chicken so I ended up going to my next door neighbors house.

After all the ruckus settled down and I was out of trouble with the police, I was talking to my friend Ashley. Her mom was our landlord and we would always go outside and talk.

I told her about the man I saw. She turned white. She told me the man was her father. He died in the house I was living in.

At first I thought it was a joke. She told her mom. Then her mom told me and my mother together that Ashley's father really DID die in that house. He was on his way to a job interview (Hence the dressy clothes) when his blood pressure shot up and he died. I managed to describe his clothing before I heard the story.

Nomatter what anyone says here, I will always believe in ghosts.

Creeeeeeeepy.


Nah, I don't believe in ghosts... It helps me sleep at night...

[Revolution911]

Yes. I believe in ghosts because I dont feel like all the emotions built up in a person simply dissapear when they die. Especially if its kind of a horrible death.  So....yep.

[Meiscool-2]

Rev, the only reason you believe in ghosts is because you looked in the mirror and saw how white you are.

[charaman]

Yep. I live with one. I don't want to get into specifics, its personal, but... yep.


My girlfriend is more knowledgeable than I about this stuff, but she says it has to do with "planes" and stuff I don't really claim to be an expert in, but I'm gonna go along the lines with what rev said. The energy in one's emotion needs to go somewhere when they die, and it is personified in their will.

I've told this story before..
My friend Darryl, on his 8th birthday, kept asking his dad to come inside and stop working on his car and enjoy the birthday party. His dad didn't come in all day. When he blew out the candles, he wished his dad would die. The next day, he walked in on his dad laying dead on the living room floor. It was diabetes or something. Ever since really spooky stuff happened in that house. Random white flashes, faces appearing on walls..

[Razor]

I remember that story.
Wishing sucks.


Also, I am a believer.
But I have not ever had one freaking experience EVER!!11one.
This sucks. I want to see one. ;_;

I sometimes sit behind the computer like now and see something move in the corner of my eye and when I turn around my head, it looks like something just moved away really quick and it isn't there anymore.

I like to hope there are ghosts, but that's because I'd like there to be something after life. Either reincarnation or being a ghost. Or 74 virgens, that's great too. ALLAH!!! *BOOM*

[drenrin2120]

I don't know. I believe it's possible.

[Cosmos]

I believe in them. I don't know why, I just do.. but then again I believe in that life after death crap..which has me wondering.. If there is a life after death, do you have a choice? Between returning to earth filled with material items..or staying on a field where no material exists..?

I don't believe in that white noise crap tho, I dunno..it's just retarded to me. The only interesting thing that happened to me was walking into my mother's room *completely pitch black* and seeing a white candle flicking in the center. One blink and it was gone, I was like O.o for a good hour.

[I Have a Sandwich]

I do. About 4 years ago in my old mans house there was one. The first time I saw her, I was staying in my dads bed, and I saw a shadow moving across the kitchen floor because a door to the kitchen is in that bedroom. Well, I was hearing footsteps and seeing shadows and called my dad thinking it was him, but I heard him coming down through the other hallway from my bros room. Freaked out, I glanced down the hall, then into the kitchen and it was gone. My old man said hed had her shae the bed and knock stuff over. Had to get an exorsist.
