Not at all, lol. Ghosts aren't real. Humans don't just stay behind after we die... our consciousnesses aren't tangible things. When you die, you die, and there is just nothingness.
That's just my opinion, at least.
I can't simply say I believe, rather I have to tell the story of my first real experience.
There are mountains nearby where my family live, and it is just oozing with history. The Spaniards mined gold there in the 1800s, and miners in general have just been working up there for a very long time, I would say around a century. There are old mines intermixed with newer ones as late as the 90s, and it's all open to the public if you know about it. Now, my father and I use to hike up there almost every week. We'd find old mine shafts, old machinery, and just hike around the mountain and just have a good old-time. We'd find all kinds of things these people would use, like broken pottery, old gun shells, ect. It was a very prominent part of my childhood.
One day, we drove up one of the trails and stopped at this abandoned site with massive machinery and old cars. It was a rough ride to get up there too, woah boy. I'd swear Jeeps could crawl up walls after that. Now, on the far end of this site there was this tunnel they had began digging, but stopped about 20ft in. So we walked into this tunnel, and my father was telling me about the history of the area when we hear people arguing outside the cave. Instantly we think "oh shit, these people are going to be pissed that we're in this tunnel." So we walk out and saw no one. No cars, no people, and it was rather unlikely there were people around, especially on a Monday of all days. My father and I start discussing it, trying to explain why we might have heard it. Were our phones on, was the jeep's radio on, ect. Now to give you guys an idea, I was looking into the cave with the sun hitting inside of it, while my father was standing toward me. My eyes were instantly drawn to a rock that I watched move from the front of the entrance, arc upwards and hit my father about 2ft away. It was actually clearly defined by the sunlight against the dark cave behind it. Right after, my father said, "did something just hit me?" I had no real words to give him as I was stunned. How do you explain a rock moving upwards as if it had been tossed, on a relatively flat ground?
After that day, I had plenty of other experiences on that mountain. Voices, seeing people who aren't there (especially a person known as the "man in blue", which I've seen twice, and other hikers/people have seen as well. One person even claimed it was a real person that disappeared on them suddenly.), hearing loud bangs and clanks that feel unnatural, and having emotions suddenly hit you like anger, sorrow, and happiness. Weird things happen on that mountain, whether it's ghost or the environment radiating energy (there's a theory that quartz can hold energy, and gold is normally found with quartz and iron/copper), I just know I've seen things that I can't explain logically. o__o

Yes I believe in @(you need an account to see links) he is very trustworthy.
I absolutely do believe we have a spiritual energy that endures after death. I have had quite a few experiences along with my scientific background which makes me believe it more, not less, the more I study science.
I do. I've seen a ghost before in my house. Still remember exactly what it looked like lol creepiest thing that's ever happened to me.

that gave me goosebumps reading your story
In general, yes. I've heard way too many stories from friends that have been confirmed by other witnesses. My first-hand experience is limited, but I too started to experience weird things when I got on a horror movie kick one time and started reading creepy things on the internet out of pure curiosity. I'm a weenie, though, so I backed off of that stuff (in fact, I'm not sure I've watched a "ghost-themed" horror movie since), and the weirdness stopped. I don't have specific beliefs about the nature of "ghosts," but I do believe that if you seek them out and make way for them (like I feel I started to do), it has an effect.
Due to a lot of unfortunate circumstances I have witnessed and endured a lot of different things in my life. There have been times when I have tried to delve into misc. things in order to cope and/or distract myself from reality. At one time one of those things was in fact ghosts and the concept of "another side" after death. Dug a little too deep and did a little too much. I regret every single moment I chose to become involved in that subject because it led me to experience several terrifying encounters with what I believed and felt was a malevolent entity. Luckily these days I tend to be left alone and I tend to leave them alone.
Maybe one day I'll type everything I can remember out and put it up here to be read.Was a long time ago.
Yep, in my house had many, at 2:30 am, the doors open.. and crash manyyy items in the kitchen D:
I kinda believe in spirits because of my religion and I definetly believe sometimes spirits can influence our thoughts. Believing in ghosts is part of it, but I myself haven't seen anything and quite frankly I don't want to. I know that ghosts are spirits and they're people but science can't really explain that? So it freaks me out a bit.
The only experience I had (which I still have sometimes) was an annoying knocking on the floor. It's literal knocking like someone just sat there and started knocking the floor. Several times I tried to localize it thinking it might be a bug stuck between the wall and the floor-thingy, but whenever I got close it would stop.
I once sat in front of it really quietly and without moving and it stopped. I checked to see if there was anything that could be making that noise but there was literally nothing, just bare wall and floor. I walked away for like a minute to get in bed and it started again.
Sometimes the noise would be loud enough to make me lose sleep. One day I said "stop it, it's not fun" and the noise stopped?
I have no idea if this was supernatural or not, but it spooked me back then. lol

Interesting. How does your scientific background make you believe in these matters more? I too have a scientific background and to be honest the sciences help disprove spirits, ghosts and things.Originally Posted by Witchy1
