I've believed in ghosts since I was in 6th grade my grandma also believes in ghosts, but she calls them spirits.

she told me once her mother always said if you see a ghost you have to ask "Can I help you in the name of The Lord or The Devil." she said she always looked at her mom and said who'd ask a ghost anything like that.

Do Ghosts Exist?

I'm not sure. I watch Ghost Hunters and Jason and Grant are pretty convincing. I really don't know.:confused:

It depends on what you mean by "ghost". If you mean the colloquial sense, wherein someone who dies becomes a wandering spirit who roams the Earth and haunts old abandoned houses and whatnot, I would say absolutely not.
However, I certainly do believe in The Holy Ghost, the Third Person in The Holy Trinity- God The Father, God The Son Jesus Christ and God The Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost).
There are only two sources of spiritual power in the world- there is good and evil. On the side of good is God and His angels and on the side of evil is Satan (or Lucifer) [i.e. the devil] and his demons.
I believe in both and the existence of both Heaven and Hell. I think this is what the original poster's grandmother was trying to get at- spirits are either from the Kingdom of God or the kingdom of Satan.
Of course, as 1 John 3:8 tells us, the reason the Son of God came was to destroy the works of the devil. And as Acts 26:18 tells us, Jesus came to open our eyes and turn us from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to the power of God.
And He did that through His death on the cross and Resurrection. And when we put our faith in Christ, we have salvation in Him and we can know that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4):) :cool:

If they do exist, I dunno wh they have to be so darn ILLUSIVE and in the shadows. According to ppl who have been hanuted and things, they apparantly are able to interact in the physical word pretty strongly.

Someday If I'm ever a ghost, I'm going to be forthcoming and REVEIL myself, I'm gonna appear to a group of ppl and be like, "Here I AM!!! I'm a GHOST!!!!" I'm not gonna just be doing tapping, rattling stuff ,stuff or communicating through Ouija boards or any of that.

You may find that you don't have the freedom to do that, actually. I have no idea how it all works, but what if ghosts are governed by physical rules and laws just like the living are?

I'm just going by what a lot of ppl say who claim to have been haunted. Some ppl who have been haunted claim that ghosts make thies lives a living hell. They claim they hear voices and things like that and stuff flies across the room... It just seems like if they can interact that strongly in the physcal world, they could materialize to someone and say, "Hi, "im a ghost."

If ghosts do exist it seems like they are only interested in scaring the heck out of ppl.

I don't believe in ghosts, but I do believe in spirits. I think the two often get confused.

According to the Scooby Doo cartoons, All ghost are just some villain wearing a mask.

theirs a radio station in my town that's supposedly haunted by a ghost a few say the building was most likely built on a few indian graves a few things that have happened are faint whispering, tapping on the walls and doors

Just visit Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. I could have SWORN I heard the cries of bystanders who were there to see the President on 11/23/63. :(

See that's what I mean, if Iwere a ghost, instead of doing FAINT whispering, I would be YELLING, "HELLO!! I'M HERE!!!!", and I'd doing more than just light tapping on doors and walls.

Nope, I think its all hype and imagination.

Maybe ghosts are not able to yell or do hard knocking on doors and walls?

I don't believe Ghosts/Spirits or whatever you call them are these vengeful/evil monsters Hollywood makes them out to be I do believe some may no longer wish to be bothered by the living, but as for evil revengeful entity's no

Who ya gonna call?

In all I'm open to the possibility, but it just seems like IF there were it would be front page world wide news and everyone would know.

I keep myself open to the possibility, but I've never had any encounter of my own, so I don't know...

A villain who would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids! :lol:

I don't know if they do or not. Perhaps in some way their spirits do. *shrugs*

One of my friend's [a former teacher] mother died in March 2002. My friend Mrs. Drury, kept waiting to have her mother come to her in a dream. This went on for months. My friend went to a medium (I believe that's what she said the woman was called). The woman told her that her mother had contacted me through a dream. It bothered my friend that her mother had contacted a non-mafamily member. The fact that the medium even knew who I was, is suprising and maybe a little creepy.

My friend asked me on the phone that year if I had a dream that her mother had contacted me. At the time I wasn't sure if I had or if I was just remembering something because she asked me. What might have been a dream still sticks in my mind.

So who knows, maybe ghosts exist and maybe they don't.

My (maternal) grandfather had heard a story about a dying man, who said he would come back as a hare. His family just laughed it off, but sure enough, a few months later, they saw a hare looking at them from the outside through the window! :eek:

Of course, I have no idea if this story is true. My mother also lost her father as a fourteen-year-old, which was twentythree years before I was born, so I've only heard it through her. But my grandfather obviously knew the people, who this story supposedly was about.
