[center]I don't think I've seen this thread, so I just wanted to know what people thought of ghosts? Do you think they exist? Or that there's no such thing? Personally, I believe in ghosts simply because it's fun to and because I haven't seen anyone [i]disprove[/i] the existence of ghosts (feel free to post anything that does so). Actually, there was this one story I heard that got me thinking.

[spoiler=inb4coolstorybro]
When I was in middle school, my English teacher told me about how the school theater was haunted. Apparently, on random nights, all the chairs in the auditorium would be rearranged into a different way and no one fessed up. So one night, they left a camera hidden under the TV to record what was going on that night. At one point, the camera went dark, but it was still rolling. No sound or movement was made, and when it turned light again, the chairs were rearranged.

If that weren't enough, there was a time when a cleaning lady ran out of the theater screaming that she had seen a ghost (in Portuguese).[/spoiler]

So, what's your view on the paranormal?[/center]

OT - I believe in them. It's fun to think that there's supernatural forces out there messing with us. xD

No one needs to. The default position should be not believing in ghosts because people who claim to have bullshit ghost stories can't prove any of their claims.

Don't expect anyone to believe anything through compelling emotional stories. First-hand evidence or no evidence at all in this topic.

As such, I have major doubts about ghost and spirits existing, to the point where I disregard them as being tangible or existing entities. Haven't gotten into many debates about ghosts, though. I guess god is a more debatable topic?

Maybe.
I just wonder if there is some truth to it, since it's a worldwide phenomenon. Everyone in the world knows about God or whatever heads their religion. Everyone knows legends like Nessie, Bigfoot, El Chupacabra (spelling?), and Champ. If something becomes that widespread, maybe's there's truth behind it?
Supposedly God came to be believed by the miracles Jesus performed (in Christian POV) and people have reported sightings of those 4 creatures. That's the reason they're religions/legends, because of how widespread they became and all the people that made a fuss about the sightings.
So for ghosts, for them to become a common term amongst all parts of society, I'm guessing people have sighted them too.
Of course, that same logic wouldn't apply to witches, goblins, and monsters either, since people mostly regard them as fictional beings. Ghosts could fall under this category, but all those sightings make me hesitant.

For so many sightings to take place, isn't it a bit of a stretch to assume all of them were either:
a. People trying to get attention
b. People with a mental deficiency
c. People seeing things
d. People mistaking them for something else
?

It could all just be a myth, but I think there were some things people couldn't explain or account for.

Just because many people believe something or claimed to have seen something doesn't mean it exists. Something becomes widespread because of interest, not because of some measure of truth. Things that are undoubtedly truthful end up being known by a few people, while rumors that are obviously false end up traveling across the world.

If anything, people could just be lying. We've had countless reports of UFOs by countless numbers of people, but we have not yet gotten actual footage (that is of decent quality, since most videos of UFOs are oddly bad quality to the point where you don't know what those "flashing lights" are) of any UFO, nor have we recovered one.

Also, witches did exist, and probably still do. They just can't do magic, but they pretend they can. ;D
