DO GHOSTS EXIST?
You shouldn't. But I wouldn't exactly be lying because the Haunted Mansion is my FAVORITE ride at Disneyland.
In the comments for the question Do Ghosts Exist? below, there are some who believe they have had an encounter with a ghost. I'll be honest, the possibility that ghosts exist FREAKS ME OUT, but I'm not convinced...yet.
There are others who think it's silly to believe in ghosts. Seriously--believing in something you've never seen and can't be proven is a tall order.

i have seen them personally, i have almost been killed by a couple of them, creepy stuff happens around the house, creepy things happen everywhere i go, and i have been told about stories that have happened to people that would not lie about something like that. i believe in ghosts. i always have. i said why i believe they exist. my boyfriend have taken pics of us together and there have been ghost in back grounds, i have heard noices tht could not have happened unless there was a ghost present. i mean come on what else could it be? there are no other explainations for the creepy events that have happened to me, my freinds, my family, and everyone else who have had encounters with ghosts.

I don't think there is the slimmest possibility that ghosts exist. The human brain is amazing and what it can create almost limitless. What we see is there. When the brain dies, so do we.

Man's spirit returns to God who gave it. If you are seeing ghosts you are most likely seeing demons. Sadly many dont believe in God (although they believe in ghosts) but if you do believe in God then you should know better then to mess around with such things. The fallen angels are waiting for you to open a door like this to come in and continue deceiving you. Keep in mind that EVP recorders are modern day quiji boards and not a thing to play with. Satan only has trickery. He has no power unless you give it to him. If you want to see real wonders and things that will amaze you, start talking to God and then pay attention all around you and listen because He will answer you. God DOES exsist and He sent His Son to die for you because He loves you. Chasing ghosts is like chasing the wind and a waste of time. All of this is passing away and will mean nothing in the end. Please, dont help satan deceive Gods children, for it comes at a very high price. One that you will not want to pay. The only thing you have to fear is God. Give praise to the Almighty Father and His Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ, in all things!

no they dont exist its our psychology how we creat it .... its our mind which plays the game of ghosts .... how we think it to appear it appears the same ....

They dont exist, The human mind is capable of things we cannot concieve Thats a fact. Ever heard of False pregnancy's women who want to be pregnant so bad that they get morning sickness there belly starts to grow and wont get thier period.
So Imagining a simple ghost or spirit isnt so hard for us then.
Everything we see we try to explain if we cant explain it we are going to make up our own truth. thats how it works.
We couldnt concieve how the world was created so we made up our own truth And thats God If i lived 500 years ago i would believe in god too but nowdays there is so much proof and knowledge that a god of some sort is highly unlikely.
Just dont be scared of the dark and the silence if you see or hear a ghost your brain is hard a work te make you paralyzed of fear.

Haunted Places in the US
Pike's Place Market in Seattle is said to be haunted and I really want to go on the ghost tour there someday. So far, I've only gone there in the day time so I didn't notice anything too spooky.
In San Antonio there are different places that are haunted--what I would love to do is go on a ghost tour of the Alamo. Also in the South, some Plantations are said to be haunted like Waverly in Mississippi which is haunted by a little girl.
The stories about hauntings in Hawaii are very interesting. If you want to read just one story about ghosts in Hawaii, read about the Night Marchers!
Poll: Have you ever seen a ghost in person?
Ghosts seen in movies, TV shows, amusement parks, or anything similar doesn't count for the purposes of this poll
Note: Hearing about others having seen ghosts such as friends and family doesn't count as you seeing a ghost in this poll. Of course seeing ghosts in videos or pictures doesn't count either. An answer of 'Not Sure' should mean you saw something that may have been a ghost, but you aren't sure.
This poll is in no way scientific, but I thought it would be interesting to see the results. Below this poll, there is a place where you can comment about whether ghosts exist or not.

Communicating With Ghosts
Perhaps people can talk to ghosts or spirits (or demons?) with an Ouija board as well? I don't think I want to mess with one.
Android App: Ghost Radar
And if it's real it would seem there's ghosts all over my apartment and workplace and wherever I go that are extremely talkative but make absolutely no sense when they try to communicate. I had the app running all day in the background and didn't really expect much from it and it did not impress me that much. I didn't really expect to talk to ghosts using an app anyway. It was a little amusing but doesn't make me believe in ghosts.

I have always been able to sense ghosts and spirits. I don't see them with my eyes; it is more like a mental image or picture in my mind. Sometimes the image comes with knowledge of how they might have died. These are mostly just feelings or things that I sense, but I have often wandered if the ghos...2 points

- The mind is the most powerful computer known to us. As it is not fully understood I think ghost sightings may be a trick of the mind.
