don't know! I have no proof either way!
 
I beleive! I was haunted by an ex wife for many years especially if her payoff was late. Thankfully one day she decided to spook some other poor mortal man now I know exorcism works
 
Well I think there might be something in it

When first left school I got a job at the big coop in Carlisle

Now the building was 6 floors high and had been tenement buildings housing people before being bought by the coop and used as a department store

One day myself and another worker (girl) we're working on the very top floor which was a series of stock rooms

We were unloading crates of toys and filling up the stock rooms

We had a radio playing in one of the rooms so we could both listen to it (she was in one room I was in another)

She shouted at me to stop messing about with the radio - I shouted back that I wasn't messing about with the radio but could hear that the radio was tuning to different stations along with buzzing noises when it was off tune

A minute later the girl shouted at me again and I shouted back that I was not touching the radio

All the time the radio was either in tune on a station or buzzing or on a different station

The next thing is I hear the girl screaming and it did not sound good so I ran into the room where I saw her standing shaking like a leaf

I asked her what's wrong

She pointed to the radio so I looked (it was still doing its own thing of in tune one second and picking up different stations or buzzing)

The girl said go and look at the dial

I went to the radio and the red stripe on the dial was flying back and forwards on its own

I ran past the girl screaming at her to come with me but she was shaking and could not move so I grabbed her gave her a firemans lift and legged it out of that room

When we got to the staff canteen we told the staff what had happened and some of the staff said it sounded like Joe up to his antics again - Joe was supposedly a ghost

All I know is that the only 2 people in that room was that girl and me along with the radio

Neither of us worked up there again

I refused even to go up to that floor

I could not tell if the knob was turning on the radio I just saw the red dial swishing back and forwards and when I saw that I panicked and wanted outta there

Do I believe in ghosts well I don't know but wouldn't rubbish anyone who claims they do
 
Well Einstein proved that energy once created, cannot be destroyed, only transferred, and what are we if not squidgy meatbags of energy..lol

That energy has to go somewhere once our bodies pack in.

Tell me about it I was 17 years old at the time

My reaction was to flee the girls reaction was to freeze

I just grabbed her and flung her over my shoulder

Spooky!
 
For those of us that experience things like this, they usually have a profound effect on us and we carry the experience around for many years. Sometimes we can rationalise things, other times we can't.

I don't discount anything as there are just far to many reports from hundreds of thousands of people for it all to just be made up.
 
Yes-I do believe. It's part of our culture where I come from that our grandparents and deceased parents, loved ones talk to us and watch over us. This song explains it really well:

Ghosts - well I've seen one and I've been subjected to a poltergeist. Now before you pooh-pooh it

The ghost was my grandma. I as a child developed whooping cough and was choking, couldnt breathe. My grandma (who had died a few months before) appeared before me, spoke some soothing words and then disappeared through the window in a ball of light. Yes I could have imagined it as I was only about 8 or 9 years old. I do remember, however, the whooping cough seemed to break from that time and I was on the road to recovery.

Poltergeist - the lounge that we used as a child had a fireplace built in and above that fireplace were 2 crossed swords. As it was Christmas time beneath the swords were a couple of rows of Christmas cards on string. I saw a hand take one of the swords from the scabbard and touch the strings of cards. It fell on a card that just said 'with love Maureen', which happened to be my grandma's name. All over that month things would move ie ornaments and I mean they would move off the shelf and would then move around the room, you could physically see them moving. Curtains would open and close in front of you and the stereo would go on and off always onto old 50's music. Pretty spooky stuff to see as a 9 year old.

Yes. I believe. Had too many experiences to start listing them now. Maybe later, when I'm not sitting in the car outside the theatre waiting for the carpark to unclog!
They say that it isn't that some people can see ghosts and some can't, just that some people refuse to see them.

"I see dead people."

Actually. Gossamer Orbs, the previous dead owner of my house,
a 19th century farm labourer in an ex's flat, just standing there like he just got home from work & caught me with his wife!
Strapping chap too...
I chased something running upstairs (heavy footed) in my parents house "Scooby gang" style with another ex girlfriend clutching a microphone stand as a weapon. (We thought burglar.)
with the same girl on a dark road in the West Midlands, a "close encounter" as something stoved through the side of my car like brilliant white orbs...
The dark humanoid shapes. (Same parent's house.) oh yeah, & the small girl in my sister's bedroom window looking out as my sister's school friend walked by.. The house was empty..
I almost forgot the sound of stone masonry works happening from time to time in this 300 year old house that neither us or the neighbours could pinpoint..

& yes. I was neither low or under the influence..
