I do. I believe we go on. I don't know all the details of course, but I have faith.

I do believe that we go on to an afterlife. I believe in ghosts because my brother actually saw one when he was younger. I didnt believe him then because I was to young to understand, but know that I am older I believe him.

I don't really know where I stand.
I believe in the afterlife I believe in heaven and in hell so I'm not sure why spirits would be stuck here on earth. I'm not sure how that fits into what I believe. Unless either God sends them back from some purpose I don't know...its sketchy |

I think I believe in ghosts ...
I believe in heaven and hell, but maybe ghosts are in some sort of purgatory where they have to work some things out before they can move on to heaven or hell. I don't know ... ![]() I guess i have been im places that are known to be hauned and I have felt a weird presence ... like something wasn't quite right. Maybe it was my imagination ... maybe not. |

yup I believe that there are ghosts. Don't think that they are the "scary or Boo" types, but I think they are out there among us.

I don't know if this counts, but I don't believe time is linear, so o I believe that people are seeing someone from the past (or I guess it could be the future) when they see "ghosts." I'm probably not making any sense at all, so I'll shut up.

I don’t want to rain on anybody’s parade, but here are my current thoughts:
Jump ahead, it’s now the year, lets say 2202, nice ring to it. Choose any year, 3002, 2082, 2311 what the heck. And are you going to roam the earth and push people out traffic, rattle chains at night, and so on? No, you see yourself as an exalted being, lets leave that for some other poor slob. Think about it, a person lives their whole life, dies and then spends eternity as an angel or ghost interacting with living beings, why? It is simplistic thinking that creates these odd little concepts, these beliefs comfort people. They are the center of the universe, all things revolve around them. It was not enough to believe the earth was the center of the universe. |

Deep.
I disagree w/you. too much meta-physical/ scientific evidence and data these days. The "simpler" approach is to just dismiss all this evidence..completely-this is the 'easier' route. I believe life to be grander and larger than we realize. ![]() ![]() This has NOTHING to do w/selfabsorption. ![]() Diamond |

yes, in religious...although right now i'm just not sure about my religion...i mean, i do believe in heaven, and i do believe in hell...but i'm not sure about the whole angel thing, or what have you...i think that if god wanted something to happen/not happen (e.g. someone get's out of the way of a speeding car), then he could just do it...so, i guess i just don't believe in ghosts.

So far, I think that ghosts = demons in guise.

No.
Actually not. In my opinion ghosts simply CAN'T exist since why should God threaten people in such a way after death - if they would have been 'bad', or I don't know, and didn't wanted to be in Heaven - like e.g. Satanists - God doesn't have to bother with them and send their souls straight to Hell. Though I don't believe in Heaven and Hell either....... ![]() Souls who don't come to the place called Heaven in the common sense simply......vanish........stop existing........ I could go on with this for hours, but it starts getting boring I guess. ![]() So: No, I really don't believe in ghosts. |

i may be naive in thinking this way, but when i picture ghosts, etc. (when the person knows or recognizes the ghost, or vice versa) it could be an angel coming down from heaven if not to help them, at least to watch over them and observe life, like in the comic strip family circle, with billy's grandfather.
there have been times i have felt like there was someone there who i can't actually see or touch, and i know i do have family members who have passed on but care a great deal about me or in some cases, would have if they had been alive when i was born. call me dumb, but my parents and i think the reason why one of my cats goes in the corner and cries has something to do with this, my grandfather who died in 11/82. but that's my opinion, and since there really is no right or wrong, no one can make me change my mind. ![]()

I believe in ghosts in a different sense than most people. I believe that they are just another life form. When people see ghosts as a family member I think they are just imagining things. Or maybe the ghost likes to have some fun playing with our minds.

I'm a believer.
My friend's house had a boy child ghost, and both my friend and his mother have seen him several times. Also, both of my sisters have seen a young woman ghost in the basement of our old house. My take on ghosts is not so much that they are spiritual beings like angels or demons. I feel that ghosts or phenomena are caused by events so catastrophic or with such emotional intensity that it warps the fabric of space-time. That intense energy then continues to repeatedly manifest itself. Just a theory... |

Yes. I believe we have an afterlife. There are definitely ghosts.
