Do you believe in ghosts?


Recommended Posts

Thanks for all the replies. I'm reading them with interest. I believe in demons and angels too. Because, as many said, they are in the Bible. And I like the idea that God is providing comfort through some of these experiences. I never thought of that. It could certainly explain the experience my cousin had.

I believe in SOMETHING in the spirit world, for the voice of one has saved my life TWICE. Angel? God? Ghost? Spirit? Benevolent ancestor? I don't know the name, but I can never deny the presence of something, for I've heard it with my own ears (actually, always my left ear). I have never SEEN a ghost/spirit/angel, but I have several times heard him/her/them (and no, I don't think I'm delusional).

No.

 

I have not encountered reliably consistent objective evidence that there is a consciousness that survives the death of the body.

 

However, I too have had odd unexplainable experiences which I chalk up to wishful thinking, coincidence, or lack of knowledge to explain experiences at this time. I just enjoy the weirdness of these experiences now and then. By the way, "seeing" a deceased loved one is a very common experience as are dreams of loved ones that occur right around their time of death.

 

I strongly believe that people interpret these experiences with a built in positive confirmation bias.

I've known too many people who've felt comfort through this sort of thing to think it is all the work of demons.
