  • Fine. But what's the scientific terminology for people-who-see-ghosts-are-lying?

  • You don't need to watch many episodes of Ghost Hunters to know that people will quickly jump to the conclusion they want to reach.


    "IT WAS A SCUFFLING! IT MUST BE THE GHOST OF A WITCH!"
    "It was a rat, Tony."
    "OPEN YOUR MIND, PETER! IT WAS DEFINITELY A GHOST!"

  • Meh. If I'm thrown into a house that is dark and spooky, I'm likely to see anything the producers of those shows tell me.

    This is a lesson easily learned in any psychology class. And here's a trick you can do at home: Fill a coffee cup with pepsi (humanity forgive you if you waste the coke) and dump it on someone's hand. They'll smell coffee.

  • i know this may seem silly but i beleive in fairies .... i saw a picture but i always dought myself, it may have been trick of the camara you never know.
    but i think that is what is so great people have beleif and it doesnt matter if it is a ghost or not... your not mad just because you beleive in something some one else cant see!! take god for instance (i dont beleive in him) but many others do.

  • I truly believe in ghost. There have been way to many things that have happened to and around me not to believe. That includes times when I've heard or seen things but didn't tell anybody. Yet the others around me have heard or seen the same thing. And no, we weren't in some spooky and/or a place with a supposed history of haunting. I do believe that most hunting's, like TAPS says on Ghost Haunters, can be disproved. Even I've disproved some things I've seen or heard. But the others are unexplainable. It doesn't bother me if others don't believe; I know what I've witnessed. I also believe that not everyone has the ability to experience paranormal events. that doesn't mean that they don't exist. With that said, it amazes me how closed minded "open minded" people can really be.

  • There are no such thing as ghosts. They have never been proven to exist, and those who do believe in them are grasping at increasingly ridiculous straws (orbs?) in an attempt to justify their medieval beliefs. Stop trying to accuse people who actually respect FACTS of being close minded where you're just as guilty of sticking your thumbs in your ears.

  • Actually, ghost have never been proven not to exist. That is a FACT. And, again, stop being so closed minded. Just because you haven't seen any paranormal activity doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. I believe that it is you who is "gasping" at straws due to fear that there is something beyond this physical plain we live in. Oh, and I'm not fascinated by orbs.

  • It's generally not up to the people who don't believe in something to prove it doesn't exist. In fact, that's impossible. You're being just as close minded as ASTOMOI, to be honest.

    And who said anything about "gasping"? You're being quite petty and not doing yourself any good by acting like that. I think you'd do everyone a favor if you presented some hard evidence to support your claim, and we'll leave it at that.

  • to be honest it doesnt matter wether you beive or not... if you think you have seen a ghost then you beleive that and if others dnt want to then it doesnt really matter....
    we all have our own oppinions we shouldnt argue about things like what is real??
    just leave it at that....

  • I believe that the Japanese are inferior to the Chinese because they are controlled by little dragons that latch onto their spines.

    Women, as a whole, only get married if they have said "Bloody Mary" three times into a mirror and have been taken over by the Ghost of Mary.

    The internet is owned by an Orc who wants us all to spend our time online so that he can stage an assault on Alcatraz.
