Do you believe in ghosts?

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Yeah if i was a ghost, i know i'd go round throwing shit at people i didn't like in their own houses (poltergeist sp? lol) but yeh having more than just this life would be great, like i really hope there's heaven or something (should start a new thread for this, but bollocks to it) because that would be so cool, and i'd finally get to meet all of you (great reason to die, to meet my stoner buddies from around the world)

No, I don't believe in ghosts or anything like that. I've never seen any good evidence of their existence, nor have I seen any good explanation for what they are and what they are made of that works within the accepted framework of current physical models. If we can perceive them and photograph them, they have to be made of something which can either reflect or create light - photons. Photons are electromagnetic radiation, and as such, only electric or magnetic forces can create and interact with them. So, are ghosts electromagnetic phenomena? Doubtful. We should have easily detected them by now. We have extremely sensitive equipment for detecting the entire range of electromagnetic phenomena, and nothing credible has been noted as a result of such measurements. I just don't see a valid physical mechanism which would allow them to be as claimed. In order to exist and be observed, they would have to part of the natural world and exist within the structure of the overarching physics which shapes everything in the universe. As such, there ought to be a lot more evidence for them; but there isn't. Wake me up when someone has some evidence.

Howdy 3 Sheets,

Yup..I believe in ghosts and spirits too. There's a big difference between the two..ghosts are like recordings and spirits are the actual soul,interacting with the physical world.

My uncle and I,had an experience with an angry spirit one time,when as teenagers,we decided to visit an old country cemetary,out in the boonies. We had just arrived and were going to turn around and position ourselves to be able to leave quickly,in case a deputy dog came along. But before we could,I looked over just in time,to see the steering wheel ripped out of my uncle's hands and it rapidly spun and steered us right towards a tree..my uncle freaked out and let go of the steering wheel at first,as we watched it spin to the right,towards the tree..but then he grabbed the wheel at the last second and swerved just in time. Needless to say-we got the heck out of there..and never came back at night !

Never did a seance,but I've messed around witha ouija board a time or 2..nothing definitive came of that,but it's a well understood fact,that foul energies are drawn to ouija boards and it's best not to mess with them.

Have a good one !

torog i am worried bout ya

My logical side says no but an experience I had when I was 9 or 10 makes me think that maybe they do exists.. When I was a little kid there was a "haunted house" near where I lived. Actually all that was left was just the foundation and fireplace tucked into the woods that had been long overgrown. I don't know if it was true but the story was that some crazy old man had lived there and one night was getting drunk and threw a nearly full bottle into the fireplace resulting in the whole place burning down, killing himself in the process. Folks said he haunted the place.

Every now and then we'd go to check it out and one time as we were walking up the pathway through the woods to the place me and my friend both saw something. Kind of like smoke or fog roughly in the shape of a person that didn't seem to disapate. We didn't stick around to see what it was and both hauled ass out of there and never went back.

For years I swore we had seen a ghost. Who knows, maybe there was some tokers nearbye who had just blown out a big bong hit and we just thought it was a ghost. Whatever it was we did see something. I'm a bit more skeptical now but I sure as shit aint going to say it's not possible that it was a ghost.

yes i believe in ghosts, ive seen one before im sure of it, when i was 13 i was in this old diner that was used as a secret meeting place for the continental generals in the revolutionary war, i could like feel somones presence, i knew somone was there, then i felt this chill go through my body and such an intense pain i almost fell to my knees, and then i saw a very dull figure, almost like a hologram, it was transparent, but still solid, he was is knee high nickers, black leather boots, a white shirt with little white frillies aand a blue overcoat with all kinda of metals or something on it, he began to scream, i could tell he was screaming, his mouth was wide open, his veins were popping out, but there was no sound, i could not hear a word he said, and for all of you who think this si bullshit i had to go to therapy for about a year and a half to get over it

Woah koshea, that sounds a bit.. strange, it sounds sooo vivid, and that you could see everything he was wearing and what he was doing, but glad you over it (hopefully)

i dont really...but i like to scare myself by thinking loads about them when im really stoned and have to walk home in the complete dark....somtimes i see stuff moving but i have ruled that out to be somthing to do with the dopamine (sp) (dont really understand that dopamine thing yet) but its nice to have the adrenaline surging....lol

[DonnieDarko]

Never seen or heard one, but noone's ever disproved their existance. There's alot of stuff that humans still don't understand, so I keep an open mind. Ghosts, spirits, god, satan, space aliens, parallel universes, ..... I believe in the possibility of their existance, unless someone can disprove it.

[Cheery Cherry]

I have never seen one myself but I do believe that ghosts and spirits exist. Both my parents have seen ghosts and their stories are spooky.

[looseends]

ok mr. beeb. then prove that they DON'T exist.
