Are ghosts real?

You sure do think deep! Interesting...I never thought of how things changes form...hmmm.

Takes one to know one, deafbajagal. If I’m a deep-thinker on occasion, it’s mainly due to chasing down and confirming researched facts on subjects from AA batteries to zymosis in a conservative estimate of 40,000 papers -- weekly 2-pagers from freshmen to book-length graduate dissertations.

I don’t mean to minimize the good formal schooling I received, but my best deep thoughts come from a quarter century of reading, research, and critical evaluation of a vast information from my students, and it’s available to anyone in every nearby networking library.
 
Yeah I'm one of them with strange experience at deaf school. I was in dorm doing my homework and only 3 girls were in dorm and rest are at sports activities and 2 staff with us too but I was far in living room when rest is in office and homework support room. I felt hard tapping on shoulder I turned around, nothing's there only slight draft then I turned around back doing homework again same thing and then for 4th time I got pissed off and threw my homework on couch and signed to invisible air and I was yelling in sign "stop! Leave me alone! I'm trying to do my homework! Stop tapping my shoulder! Go away! I can't see you signing cuz you're ghost and ur hands is invisible so go away bother someone else!!!" and stood there looking around the building and sit back down, didn't bother me since I thought it was funny cuz it mean the ghost was deaf and understood my signing. So I asked staff that work here for long time and went school there too when kid, I asked if there is any death or any famous story she said yes she remember in 1960's 2 teenager girls hung themselves in dorm room in basement
Talking about creepy! (There's pipe around ceiling in basement so its believeable and she's pretty old like in her 50's 9 years ago so)
But I still have hard time understanding and believing in ghost, spirit and energy matter because I don't believe in god(s) or any higher being only human instinct and why is there strange unexplainable things occuring in the universe if there's no god(s).
Maybe small part of new age religion is accurate? (About spirit, energy stuff existing but magic, spell is just plain hilarious)
We'll never know...


I got goose bumps!!! Whoa.
 
Cool! Wait- not cool! I can't get Directtv in my new place :( Waaaaaah!! Maybe it will come out on DVD one day :). Enjoy the show!

Ah I forgot,, they also have on Sci-fi called " Ghost Hunters International " too they also under Ghost hunters under "TAPS". They are great! They also have good show called " Destination Truth " is very good. :cool:
 
I do not believe in Ghosts, I refused to talk to any spirits from the dead, as you know I'm a Christian, and according to the bible it says that the dead do not have contact with the living, Those spirits are unclean spirits or demons. I'm not trying to scare you away or anything, This is just what I believe.

I think Byrdie said it correctly, A twin can sense their other twin. I am a twin, My sister and I can sense each others feelings and emotions. It's more like a connection, maybe this is what your daughter is sensing in her mind, and in her heart. :)

What about when Jesus returned to speak with Mary (after he had risen from the dead)? ;). Oh, dear. Demons. I hate to think my daughter is speaking to a demon at her bear tea party. That would totally creep me out. I do firmly believe that demons (various forms) live among us, as you and Reba had mentioned.
 
Yes I do believe in ghosts and I do know they do exists. My favorite cousin who died suddenly of a freak accident in 1993. 3 days later after the funeral that night She came to me thru my dream and told me she is fine and is not in any pains. She told me to tell her mother and her daddy (my aunt and my uncle) that she is fine and that she love them very much and that she will see them someday... i told her sure i will be glad to.. i told her why did u have to go ?? i started to cry and she hugged me and said well it was my time to go.. i will be ok.. and we will see each other again someday, ok? she signed ILY to me and hugged me then kissed my cheek then floated down the field then disappeared... i woke up with tear in my eyes.. i knew she did came to me.

i also have twin infant sons and my infant daughter came to me in my dreams.. hugging me and told em that they love me sooo much! Also thanking me for getting them a wind chime for their graves. They love the music... they all danced and sing... that was a music to my heart... they do come to me thru dreams from time to time... :)

My great grandma came to me thru my dream.. but i didnt understand what she wanted? i think she just wanted to check on me?? she never spoke? So not sure what it means?

I also do feel something on my leg many times... i believe it was my dogs.. mac, dun, maybe my cat Patches? I dont know.. or my angels?? i am not sure... TJ said he see his baby brothers and his baby sister here and he talk to them??

even my stepdad Roy came thru..i saw his shapego by so fast and his smell of cigars. I know he is around and checking on my mom... my mom see his spirit go by and smell his cigars too.

my old house is haunted.. it is an old lady who died there and she is still protective of the old house. i see so many things there that had happened throughout my growing up years.

so yes i do believe in ghosts/spirits. :)

Wow, you've had a lot of experiences. I'm sorry about all the death you've had to deal with. Yeah, there are many accounts in which people can smell certain things.

I don't believe they were demons. Not all ghosts or spirits do harm anyone. They have reason. I don't think my sister was a demon for coming in my dream. She was trying to tell me something and she have got her said and left peacefully. No harm was done.
 

I didn't realized you had posted about this topic before. I really don't read all the old posts (anyone who has the time to read all the old posts needs to get a job, haha). I posted my story because it had just happened to me, so I was curious what people on AD thought.

Thanks for sharing :).

Wow, lots of shows about ghosts. Ghostbusters in the 80's...now that was too cool, haha. In fact I'm gonna go look on Ebay and see if I can buy a Ghostbuster shirt :).

Ghost Whisperer is another show I think...with Jennifer Hewitt Love?
 
Oh yeah that true,, Funny, Speaking of voodoo dolls, I sure would have love to use it on all my ex's LOL. Now that would be funny! lol :giggle::giggle::giggle:

And my ex-hubby, especially when he took all my money. Yeah..you have a point ;).

I better be quiet...Karma is another thing I believe in ,haha.

Yep, same here, I had so many experinces on ghosts. I remembered when my grandmother passed away about almost 6 years ago. I woke up about like 2 33 or 4 am, I felt my face was being touched in a gentle way. I woke up I see something white, I thought at first was my brother sneaking in my bed room trying to use my computer. So, I called out his name he was not answering and I try to grab him but my hands went right through the white mist, so after that I turn on the light, it was gone. So I don't know if that was my grandmother or grandfather telling me they are at peace and in a good place probaby they are. So I felt peace too strangely enough. I was scare at all, I was just stunned mostly. :cool:
 
Yep, and it's great to have them around... They take care of you.
BTW - you could call them "angels".... same thing, but it might make you feel better...

I'd like to think there are angels among us as well. The idea of having an angel around gives me that good warm feeling :). But I DO know God is...and that's always reassuring. Is my daughter here with me? I sure hope so. The thought of her in Heaven is wonderful...but it is so far away.

It's interesting you are saying you felt peace when this happened. Peace.

Ah,, lol, I remember Ghost buster was way too funny. Oh yes , I love Ghost Whisper. I hope they come back with a new show series. :wiggle::cool:
 
It's interesting you are saying you felt peace when this happened. Peace.

Yep this happend 4 years ago right after my grandmother 's death, I guess it had lot to do with closure to a person that have strong bonds. I just glad she in a better place with my grandfather. I may not know what on the other side, but I sure hope it a good happy place. :wiggle:
 
Well, it's very interesting what happened to you. Glad everything's good. I like happy endings (I'm too American, I guess).
 
Deafbajagal...first of all, I am sorry about the loss of your child. Your daughter is probably ready to talk about her twin..I cant give u advice cuz I have never been in that situation myself.

As for ghosts...I cant say that I believe or dont believe in them cuz there are so many unexplained situations that occur so we never really know.

I was doing my student teaching internship at The Learning Center in Mass. I lived on campus in a house with 3 other interns. The house was like 200 years old and it had a basement with a boarded up tunnel. There was a history behind it but I cant remember. However, it was known that a ghost lived in the house. I laughed at it at first cuz I didnt believe in ghosts at that time. Well...on the weekends, the other hearing interns kept hearing banging coming from the basement at night. We would go downstairs to check it out and the washing machine would be on but no clothes in it and the stuff in it had been moved around. We asked each other if we had been down there and we all say no. So one night, we all stayed together and yes, they started hearing the banging again and good enough the washing machine had been turned on. Guess what? The board to the tunnel was taken down so we were able to see the tunnel. I was so spooken beyond belief. I thought for sure someone broke in using the tunnel but we searched around the house..nothing and the door was locked.

Since that discovery, the banging and the washing machine being turned on stopped. We will never know what happened..it was spooky and it changed my belief about ghosts...cant say "never".

I'm not sure if you were brave or crazy for looking in that tunnel (haha!)...That is really scary. Glad you all are okay.
