I was watching something last night about the paranormal.

Ghosts I don't believe in. The idea of "souls" just doesn't appeal to me, much less the idea of these "souls" just wandering the Earth. Once a person is dead, they're dead. Ghosts are just something cooked up by horror stories.
Aliens I do believe in, to an extent. I'm not sure I believe all the reports of people who claim to have been abducted, but I think some other form of intelligent life must exist somewhere. It's difficult to believe we're the only ones.

'I see dead people.'

Yes there are such things as ghost.

But what most people mean by the term 'ghost' is something they 'saw' that they couldnt explain in one form or another.

Its basically a unexplanitory object or experience we cant put into normal terms of daily life.

Basically, anything we cant explain goes directly into the 'X' section.

I do believe in ghosts.

What I do not believe in, are pictures and videos of ghost sightings, and popular ghost "tours." I've sen countless pictures cluttered with dust, and believers call them "orbs of ghostly energy." Videos are the same and are very easily faked. Popular haunted places such as the Queen Mary, somehow I believe the fact many people come there just for the ghosts, they can use any kind of flash in the corner of their eyes as proof of what they saw. Plus their minds can produce images because thats what they want to see.

Though I have some stories that I simply can't explain. I don't want to tell them but...I'll just say, they definetly made me believe theres more to the world than meets the eye.

I think that there's something there...I'm an athiest, and I don't believe in life after death, but I believe you're never truly gone. I think that bringing flowers to graves and things does matter, because it's for the memory of the deceased, even if they're not watching. They'd care if they knew. People are always there - even when you die, your body rots or your ashes are blown away and they become part of tomorrow's world. No matter how long ago someone died, they're still here with us.

i personally don't believe there  is anything called known as ghost. Ghost do not exist. people who claim they saw there dead family and stuff are not lyin but  they are not seein the family they probably see the the devil revealing itself to thenm in the image of their dead family memeber. fro once someone is dead ant buried d person soul is no more so the body is left in the grave to turn back to dust and one only exist when one have a soul. ghost is a no no. all the mind trick.

what happens if the people they 'see' arent people they have previously encountered?

I believe that they exist but not in the form of conventional "white sheet" ghosts.  I think that a person's presence and a sense of awareness can exist after they die.  For example, my uncle died a little over two years ago and I still sense a presence when I pass by his house or think of him.  Not substantial evidence, but at least it's food for thought.

You know, I don't have the article, and can't remember any details. But there is a culture that doesn't have any concept of a spirit after death. You know how many gost sightings they have? Zero.

I believe that everytying and everytying that has to do with ghosts is psychological. Has anyone ever heard of the loch ness monster? There was a test done, where they floated a large log in the lake, and tried to psyche people out. After people saw it, they had to draw what they saw, and they all drew a monster, even though a log doesn't resemble a horned monster in the slightest.

I believe that spirits exist in another supernatural realm seperate from our own. And the mind is a complex, wonderful yet scary thing. It can make us think in certain ways or see certain things which might not appear to others.

In other words, that's why people like to say: "It's all in the mind".

Yes, i believe they do, but it's not like in T.V shows where you see this white figure floating towards you, they're like shadows dark and you never see them sraight on. Maybe they dont exist but i think they do

I said no for this.  But in a way I do believe ghosts exist, the same as I believe in heaven, hell & faith, etc.
But I also believe that we evolved from other forms of life, right down to the single cell creatures billions of years ago, and that your here, you die so enjoy it!

I'm still undecided.
