Do you believe in ghosts?

Had friend and her partner over for dinner and we got talking about the supernatural. I’ll be honest I was rather surprised when she casually said she’d seen ghosts quite regularly (she works in a hospital) so my question is, do you believe in the supernatural?

I’m on the fence as I’ve never experienced anything like that myself however I’m open minded on the subject 👻

@poster M0nkeybutler Ooh what a great account! Thanks very much for posting. Exactly the kind of thing I find fascinating.

Any more, anyone?

It’s not for people who don’t believe in ghosts to prove they don’t exist - those making the extraordinary claim need to provide the evidence.

You think some sort of spirit keeps on existing, independent of the human body. What is your proof for that?

I'm slightly on the fence re this. I don't believe in supernatural stuff but I think too many people have seen things. There must be something going on, they can't all be imagining it. I don't think ghosts are what most people think they are though, i.e. dead people consciously visiting people/places. I suspect there's a scientific explanation for it. I know some people believe ghosts are some kind of recording of something that happened in the past that replays over and over again. I've read a bit about time slips, maybe that could explain it as well. The idea that what we're seeing is actually happening in another time and somehow that time and our time has overlapped. I could believe in that.

I see ghosts everywhere. I always have done, ever since I was little so it's normal to me.

I'm from a travelling family and several of my relatives see them too.

My mum doesn't and we have to be careful around her as although she believes (mainly due to things me and my siblings have said) she gets freaked out.

Hmm, interesting question OP. I know some people who have reported ghost sightings and I believe them, so I suppose that yes I do believe.Confused Sort of.ConfusedConfusedConfused

I see stuff, feel stuff, even smell stuff and there is no explanation for it.
Used to scare the living bejesus out of me but now I’m just mildly scared on occasion! Best ones were getting hit in the head so my hair moved and having my pillow moved from under my head. Sometimes I smell perfume but it’s not mine. These things happen while I’m alone with doors and windows shut. I see shadows at night in my bedroom moving about. I just dick and cover as the saying goes.

Elieza · 30/11/2019 22:25

Duck and cover not dick ha ha!

managedmis · 30/11/2019 22:29

Totally. Seen loads of weird stuff.

I'm a sceptical believer I think.

Never actually seen anything, but we moved to a new house 3 months ago, and in that time, all 3 DCs have seen a dog in the kitchen, a dog that disappears when they call it, DP has seen the same dog in the garden and twice I have been woken by a dog barking in our bedroom.

We don't have a dog!!

I have never seen anything that would make me believe, but DB has and he is such a genuine person that it's swayed me to feeling like there is a possibility.

He has a lot of stories all of which happened in Japan where he has lived for the past 10 years. In the early days when he was out there for uni, he was in his student halls about to fall asleep when he felt what felt like two hands suddenly gripping onto his arm. He shot up and turned the light on, nothing there. He went and sat in McDonald's for the rest of the night as he was so freaked out. Could be no connection but sadly, it turned out another student had hung herself in her dorm room that night.

DB found it quite eerie that following this, they keep her room light on as a mark of respect, so when the buildings lights are all out at night the only light on will be where the girl died.

Not at all. I've never seen anything in person or heard any stories from others that can't be explained.

There are also a hell of alot more dead people than living ones.

If they were real they would be everywhere - E V E R Y W H E R E... and there would be not a doubt in the world they existed given how many would cover the earth.

Wouldn't need staged "ghost hunter shows" with their "proof" etc... Nope don't believe at all. Don't believe in aliens either.

I have just been reading about Birdie Friend on another thread and came to find if there is a 'woo' chat.
We regularly visit Edinburgh and do ghost tours, a few I've felt uncomfortable on but not necessarily seen anything. I think I might have, but nothing clear enough to determine if its active imagination or genuinely something there.
The last we went on, I felt nothing.
Like NOTHING
My husband is adamant he was touched, as is my son and I have a photo of my daughter with a face behind her. Sometimes I look at the photo I can see a dogs face as well - but her face is always smudged by a mans face. Every photo I took near the mausoleum is blurred, every photo before and after is crisp and clear.

I have also been reading a about Birdie Friend and then the OP disappeared after son told all the kids at nursery ‘you’ll be dead soon’
Where is the OP has she come back yet? I need my next installation of Birdie Friend 😫😳
