Do you believe in Ghosts
Are there such things as ghosts? Ghosts and hauntings seem to be a relatively common part of the human experience and there appear to be several types of ghosts or hauntings. The phenomena of ghosts and hauntings are very real experiences. It is their true cause and nature that is the ongoing mystery. The traditional view of ghosts is that they are the spirits of dead people that for some reason are “stuck” between this plane of existence and the next, often as a result of some tragedy or trauma.
Some ghosts appear to be psychic recordings on the environment they spent their last moments. A Civil War soldier is seen on repeated occasions staring out a window at a house where he once stood guard. A dead child’s laughter is heard echoing in a hallway where she often played. There are even cases of ghost cars and trains that can still be heard and sometimes seen, even though they are long gone. These types of ghosts do not interact with or even seem to be aware of the living.
Other times ghosts are more of an intelligent haunting. These ghosts exist in a kind of limbo state in which they haunt the scenes of their deaths or locations that were pleasant to them in life. Very often, these types of ghosts are able to interact with the living. They are, on some level, aware of the living and react to being seen on the occasions that they materialize.
Many skeptics believe that haunting experiences are products of the individual’s mind. Ghosts, they say, are psychological phenomena, we see them because we expect to or want to see them. Have you experienced a ghost? We would love to hear about your experiences!
