Description Do you believe in ghosts?

I saw this scene and immediately the thought crossed my mind to turn it into this!

But do you think they are what people say they are or do you have your own ideas?

I for one have never actually seen a ghost, but other members of my family have - mind you, I think if I did, it'd be the ghost that was scared of me, not the other way round!

Thx for the btw!

Yeah, I've never seen one either, though I've had friends and family who have...

As for exactly what they are, I honestly can't say I'm entirely sure, but I do have various ideas - ghosts hold sort of a fascination for me...but then again I'm often interested by things that can't really be explained

Cool...

I'm all interested now! I used to be really into that sort of thing too. I had (still have) a book called "Mysteries Of The Unexplained", which I remember reading over and over again. That and another book with something in it about a 'Kidney eyed man'...

Actually, I remember being scared witless at the time that a kidney eyed man would come knocking at my door one day, or come in through the window while I was sitting on the toilet! Lol.

That and being totally and utterly frightened to death that I'd suddenly catch fire and die from spontaneous human combustion!

To be honest, I believe in neither now, and well I was about 10 or 11 at the time, but it makes a good story! Ghosts on the other hand... well there's no smoke without fire as they say, and although people often do naturally hallucinate before going to sleep and as they wake up (especially the kinds of hallucinations that cause senses of another presense in the room etc...) I can't help thinking that that particular explanation fails to account for the sightings by different people of the same ghost in the same place at different times, completely unconnected to one-another! And some places just 'feel' haunted - like a building up the road from me where I've spent several nights recording for a music tech project in the past! Actually, I'll have to snap some shots of the place next time I go up there for something - it's a converted church (now a place that youth groups can hire and stay in for the weekend), but it's got a churchyard outside, and a tunnel UNDERNEATH that is supposedly designed for water to flow through (supposedly there's an underground spring there) but it's big enough to crawl down! Apparently nobody has ever actually explored it, and the building is on top of a hill so I don't see why it should be for a spring! That and a panel inside a cupboard under the stairs that looks like it's covering a secret passage down into the depths of the building! :S

The place 'feels' haunted as well - there are noises during the night that sound like footsteps but there's nobody there, every now and again there's an incredibly cold draught that comes over you during the night, and the lights dim once in a while too! There're also creaking noises and there was a stack of tables last time I went that seemed to make a noise by themselves whenever I looked towards them! I stayed up ALL NIGHT to record, so I had headphones on and stuff most of the time, but when they were off, I found myself talking to the air quite a lot of the time as if there really was something there! :/ It was sooo spooky! I was on my own for a whole weekend! :S

Anyway, my mum does the care-taking and cleaning there most of the time, and according to her, a LOT of people have said that they've thought the place was haunted after staying the night there before, including herself! And because I live in a small village, connections are valued and my older half brother did some of the carpentry there (and fitted some cupboards in the boiler room) - he was working right next to the entrance to the tunnel, and said he was completely and utterly scared to death (not even during the night) with his back toward the gaping entrance while he was working!

...Which reminds me ... I really must crawl down there sometime just to have a look! I've been meaning to for ages!

Let's just hope that I don't find a dead body inside there or something equally chilling - my spine is tingling just at the thought ... and I'm supposed to be a bloomin goth an all! Lol. Mind you as I said, anything there would probably be more scared of me than I of it! hehehe... Actually, I feel more at home in the dark when I'm wearing my heavier goth gear, so maybe I'll do that!...

Have you ever been on a ghost hunt or anything?
