Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Debates _ Ghosts?
Posted by: TehHuntress Nov 19 2010, 09:20 PM
I, myself, am a full believer in ghosts. But I've met some people who don't believe in life after death.
So I decided to ask all you GTS+ members, what you think.
Do you believe that ghosts are out there? Wandering the grounds where they once stood.
Or do you believe ghosts are just made up by paranormal investigators? That's there's no such thing as life after death.

Spiritual entities are possible.
inb4 personal experience.

As an atheist, i don't believe in Ghost but it's always fun to get creeped out while watched Ghost Hunters.
Posted by: FancyGranola Nov 26 2010, 01:56 PM
What does that mean?
Okay, so you mean to tell me that believers in God believe in ghosts. Big news: Ghosts do not necessarily have to do with God. So by saying you are "Atheist" you are somewhat implying that religious people are being silly in believing in God.

What does that mean?
Don't believe in God and anything religous/spiritual.
However, I don't think ghosts really count as Atheism o-o

I don't believe in Ghosts, but I like the idea.

what the hell are you talking about? I meant nothing like that. you took it that way wrong. I was merely stating that I'm an Atheist, and as far as I'm concerned Atheist don't believe in ghosts. True, ghosts don't necessarily involve religion, but the whole idea of ghosts is that their souls or people who didn't make it to Heaven or Hell, which I'm sure involves religion.
You thought to much when i said "As an Atheist."
Posted by: FancyGranola Nov 26 2010, 02:32 PM
Actually, I once saw a site about ghosts in which the creator(s) said that they were turned away from Christianity because many Christians they meant said that they were crazy for believing in ghosts, or something. (of course, I'm not implying that there aren't Christians who do believe in ghosts. I was just stating what the creator(s) said.)
And plenty of non-religious people that believe in ghosts, people like that are "spiritual." There is a difference between belief and religion.

Okay? When did i ever say that all religious people believe in ghosts? I have no idea why you quoted me on something that i didn't say
not really. To be an atheist you can't believe in god, spirits, or anything like that. I mean, people could but can't name anyone like that. To be "spiritual" must mean you have some type of religion, just becuase it isn't a mainstream religion doesn't make it, what you call, a "belief." beliefs are in fact religion, just your own beliefs in a official religion.
Posted by: TehHuntress Nov 26 2010, 03:27 PM
Okay, seriously guys? I just started this debate on whether you believe in ghosts or not, but instead you turned into towards religion and athiests.
I swear, everywhere I look, there are people fighting over what other religions believe in and junk like that.
I don't care what religion you are! If you're athiest, okay! You're an athiest! Congrats!
If you Catholic, good for you!
Just keep your beliefs and religion to yourself, instead of posting it on a thread that has nothing to do with all of that stuff!

Can't we all just get along
I somewhat believe in ghosts, or at least some kind of afterlife like that. Even if it's just some kind of memory recollection retained by a location.
Posted by: evolutionrex Nov 26 2010, 05:09 PM
I interpreted your post as something like "Religions and religious people usually believe in ghosts."
Well it wasn't. I don't even know where people got that from. I was saying Atheist(for the most part) don't believe in ghost. You assumed too much.
I didn't mean to bring religion into this, but people had to comment on three words; "As an Atheist." It seems just becuase i said that people assumed i was bashing religious people.
Posted by: Shadow Dragon Nov 26 2010, 05:43 PM
of course everything turns into an argument
Ahem.
Anyway,
Ghosts.
I do believe that there is such a thing out there,
Being a spiritual entity that cannot/refuses to go to, ah, the "next" part of exsitance (sp?)
Or whatever it's called.
Though, I would only think that would be the, ah, more "free" ghosts
That respond to people and are able to scare the shit out of you
The kind of ghosts that are simply like a tape caught on record
I see more as, say, a part of a person
A memory, let's say,
That has been imprinted on that area
And is unable to be removed,
Unless, like, destroying the entire house :|
Either way, my answer is a "Y"

I live very close to the city of New Orleans, so ghosts, spirits, ect. aren't unfamiliar. My parents have gone to certain lodging areas (I can't remember if it was hotels or B&Bs or what) and have had odd things happen such as doors closing by themselves and bizarre noises. Im sure a LOT of places like this are fake and use some methods to immitate the typical haunted house scene, but others are probably real. There are a lot of television shows about ghost stories, and although im sure most are fake I wouldn't be suprised of some were real. Unlike other topics like Aliens, ghostly activity is known well worldwide. Other worldly life is too but not nearly as well as ghosts.
Many other cities are known for spirits too, I hear London has good bunch of haunts in the castle(s). Im sure you can see by now, but yeah, I believe in them. Always found it interesting how effective holy water is in some cases, but it tends to just supress the souls for a certain amount of time, not help them 'pass on' or leave.
EDIT: I tottaly forgot, one of my Uncles told me a few stories that are apparenly true encounters his family has had with ghosts. One of two boys who were brothers, did everything together, both cought pnuemonia and died, and was spotted by a family member a week after they died. Similar with a woman who went to a stump when she was depressed.

I do. I've never actually seen one but it'd be nice to. 
Posted by: General Rike Nov 27 2010, 07:40 PM
My friend was at my house over night and next day she told me about how our house was haunted.
I did not believe a word she said and just told her that it's just our old house which is making noises. You know, pipes and such.
... well, some time after that I noticed that our house was truly "haunted". :l Definitely not "just our old house's noises". I've experienced it even at daylight so it's a little bit creepy.
Haunting might not be best word to describe it since I don't know if I should call them(?) ghosts. I don't know if I can call them spirits or souls either. Maybe it's just other realm, sideway to ours, or maybe some "restless spirits" or their strong memories. Can't say for sure, no one can.
... however, I don't believe such crap "haunting" shows which come from TV. It's not even entertaining.
Haven't experienced ghosts in years, and the stuff that happened long ago seem just like a bad dream. Even though my friends claim that in our apartment is one ghost, who closes WC's door, knocks glasses over in the kitchen and makes funny noises in the night but I have not yet witnessed such so... I'm always skeptical about it.
I do also understand why some people don't believe in them. I didn't, at first. It should be experienced by themselves.
Sometimes people also think I'm crazy and gullible when I tell about my experiences but... nah.
However, the answer is yep. Yes I do.

What?
I believe in evolution. Evolution is not a religion. Others believe in it. Natural selection is too good.
Do not throw around the term "Atheist" around like that. Yes it means you do not believe in God. But God itself is a touchy subject. It immediately strikes a negative string no matter how you phrase it.
So people do not believe in God. Doesn't mean others do not believe in the supernatural. Poltergeists are everyone's friends.
It's a debate.

Agreed. Assuming ghosts exist, why would they limit themselves to those of religion? That's just as rediculous as thinking an alien invasion is going to start, or that some psycho is going to break in the night after you watch a scary movie. It's not like all of these things are waiting in the background for you to watch a movie...or turn to a religion to start pulling shenanigans.
Posted by: Ezio Auditore da Firenze Nov 28 2010, 08:00 PM
I know, but that was aimed at all the religion related things being said in a debate about personal belief on ghosts. It was just jokey anyway, so don't take it seriously.
Maybe it's because religious people are considered more "spiritual", what with the belief in a deity, and easier to "contact" because of this. At least, that's what my great grandmother, who was a devout catholic, said to me on the subject a few years ago.
I myself can't see this. Does this mean that it's impossible to have a true experience without following a religion?
Ghost have yet to be proven, but yet to be disproved, too.
Until there is solid proof there's no such thing as ghosts, I'll believe.
So with that I'll take my leave.

Okay, religion by definition is something you believe. Is it an official religion? Does it have churches? No, but it's still something you believe. Evolution is part of your religion. your kind of personal religion. What you believe is your religion.
And now your saying i can't mention my atheism? that's offensive. Your saying it's "negative?"
And, no just becuase your atheist doesn't mean you don't believe in ghost but name me one. It's uncommon, that's all i meant.

Never said you can't. But I recommend not using the term because evidently, it doesn't give good results. Clearly it shows that the term "Atheist" is not well understood.

On topic, I believe that there are ghost that exist in this world. Documentaries have shown and proven that some supernatural things are occuring all over the world. Yes, people do not believe it, but then again, there is no concrete evidence that actually states that ghosts do not exist. Or probably there are I couldn't find any. So, unless anyone can show some concrete evidence that ghost do not exist, the possibility of ghosts exisiting in this world will still be there.
Sorry for my bad english though.

It's probably more that it happens to everyone, but the religious people say "ghosts" while the nonreligious people say "weird shit that isn't ghosts" (or they ignore it). It's a lot seeing more of a certain car everywhere after buying that model of car. It was everywhere before buying the car, it's just that it wasn't important to you.

Being scared plays tricks on our mind.
So no, I don't logically believe in ghosts.
I lol at those ghost hunter shows. They just look around old, dark places and point everything that occurs to a ghost.
Posted by: Daruny Dec 4 2010, 10:23 PM
Believe in ghost but I've never seen one.
Do I want to see one?
Of course.
Will I be scared silly?
In a way no... but if it had a rocket launcher then yes.

Objection. Ghost Hunter shows don't just point at anything that occurs to a ghost. So if you think it's not, you can feel free to prove it. I think it is ghost, although I've never seen one. And yes, those dark, old places are pretty lame. And when you are afraid, your brain play tricks on you. That's true. But then sometimes, people experience things when they AREN'T afraid. But there is a possibility they are trying to get famous or something. Like those famous UFO sighting might all be farmers throwing their hat around snapping pictures and show it to researchers and they stupidly believe it's an UFO. I don't believe in UFO, but I believe in ghost.

When my cat died i saw almost an outline of it in the house but upon closer inspection the cat's shadow was not there.
Yes i believe that ghosts exist but they are benevolent things that just go "woogy, woogy, woogy" or just appear somewhere.

Explains some, not all and besides, on the first half it says only 22% felt dread because of the sound at that concert so 78% didn't feel dread which is they way it should have affected them. So only 22% of people would be affected by it which, rounded down, is a fifth. :/
Some can probably also be explained by gas leaks or mental issues, others can be explained by the eyes playing tricks on you but, when you boil it down until there are no ways left to explain what could have happened, there will still be unexplained sightings left.

Actually, gas leaks, infrasound, insanity, and pareidolia pretty much explain all of the cases I've heard of except for one, whose origins are dubious and I haven't bothered to investigate further yet.

But let's not curse the non believers shall we. They have their own opinion, we should respect that.

I believe in ghosts. While growing up I was never taught that ghosts and the such weren't real but I wasn't entirely taught that they were. However, since I've been young I'd always been into the paranormal and what not. Have I seen a ghost? I believe I have. Was it scary? I almost peed myself!
My family/friends always come to me when they want to know if a house is haunted or what to do when they believe that the house is haunted. In my family and friends I'm the King of the Occult.

They aren't saying there is no correlation but that they just want to know if you believe in ghosts, not why or how religion affects your belief in them/others belief in them.

I kind of believe in ghosts, but haven't actually SEEN one. Though, recently while putting a cup in our cupboard, I saw a white dust-like thing falling and then it vanished suddenly. I thought that maybe it was just a small piece of debris from the shelf cover falling, but when I tried to find it on the counter or on the other shelf of the cupboard, I couldn't find it
Posted by: Ladida Mar 8 2011, 05:27 PM
I don't believe in ghosts. I think a lot of it is the fact that TV kinda makes it as some big selling point, so that throws me off even more to even wanting to believe or care. I've also never had any experience seeing or even really being creeped out by things that go bump at night. My parents believe in them and I do have to say they are religious as I am not. So I don't know if their are ties with that or not. Just saying.

Posted by: strictlyninja Jun 19 2012, 02:11 PM
As a Methodist, I see it like this:
Ghosts are "wayward souls" right? Well, whan you die, your soul goes to heaven or hell. Where else would it really go? It can't really escape, so I don't understand how there can really be ghosts.
But ghost shows ARE really fun to watch. I'll admit that.
Posted by: Koops Jun 24 2012, 12:12 PM
Ghost's are nothing. They don't exist.
Why do I think this?
Because it defies all possible explanation. There is no way one can exist. The TV programs are a bunch of lies, with the whole magnetic field and everything. That's because they're probably in an area that has a higher magnetic field.
On the other hand, I don't mind stories and movies with them in. It's fiction. Fiction is fiction, and you can't hate fiction because it ain't real.

Nah, I don't believe in them at all. It just doesn't have any real reason to happen, when you look at it in scientific terms. A creature is born, lives, and eventually it's heart stops and it dies. That's all there really is to it. There just really isn't any reason ghosts would form, as "spirit" is only your personality, and is gone when your brain dies.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'm just saying that ghosts really wouldn't make any sense.
Posted by: AllTheCoolNamesAreTaken Jun 27 2012, 12:29 PM
I have no doubt in my mind that ghosts do not exist. Those ghost hunting shows piss me off to no end. Such bullcrap.
I don't know about an 'afterlife' but I really hope there isn't one, I'm somewhat looking forward to being completely non existent and unaware.
Posted by: Kima Rose Jul 1 2012, 01:49 AM
I firmly believe in ghosts although I absolutely agree that the Tv shows & propaganda are complete & utter bull.
To believe something like this isn't really explainable but having actually sees/felt something is even harder to explain.
So whether you may or may not believe it doesn't give anyone the right to say that what other people think is wrong, everyone is entitled to their own opinions & beliefs.
Posted by: Hiccup Anaise Baynton Jul 1 2012, 04:17 AM
I definitely beleive in ghosts! My friends dad has said that both he AND his friend saw the ghosts of maids roaming his old school when he was young. Also, my uncle has claimed to have seen a girl but when he reached to turn on the light she was suddenly gone. The same uncle and his mother (my grandma) do say they can sometimes feel weird presences in certain places. My back garden is attatched to the oldest house in our area and though many have claimed that it is haunted by a woman, I have never seen anything, nor has my friend who lives there. So yes, I do throughly beleive in ghosts!
Posted by: zerohundred Aug 24 2012, 01:51 PM
I personally, do believe in ghosts, and my religion/spirituality has absolutely nothing to do with it. To be honest, I think the only reason scientific minds don't believe in it is because of their precious "rationality" (which imho, is just arrogence, but that's just my opinion), which prohibits them from beleiving in something without a scientific explination, or makes them dismiss something existance just because it doesn't SEEM possable. The only reason this isn't a complete science is because all of the scientific minds that are beleivers haven't come up with a scientific mechanism to support the idea of ghosts.
I would like to propose such a scientific theory
I would also like to say that is is LITERALLY and SCIENTIFICALLY impossable to say that you know 100% that ghosts don't exist, you can't disprove ghosts as a whole.
You can disprove a specific senario to not be caused by a paranormal or superatural entity, but you can't say that there is "no such thing as ghosts", because you can never know that. Posted by: Better Lexxie Alicroy Aug 26 2012, 06:35 PM

I really can't say I believe whether or not ghosts exist. I mean, weird things have happened to me, but I can't really say ghost did them. It could just as easily have been my mind playing tricks or exaggerating details.
Posted by: BlueXephos Oct 21 2012, 04:50 PM
Ghosts only exist because we make them exist. The trend in society becomes a massive bandwagon, and those slightly emotionally unstable would create illusions for themselves to see. Groups of people that follow one trend and believe in one ghost would slowly suffer the same effect as one person believing in an illusion. Yes, ghosts may be real, but it is because humans give them the consent of existence, that they exist.

I believe in the possibility of ghosts/spirits, but don't believe they are necessarily the spirits of the dead.
However I refuse to truly believe one way or the other until I have some kind of reliable proof.

Posted by: SilverLugia456 Nov 22 2012, 07:03 PM
This is a widen debate, I do believe in ghosts but as a heard on a show once, even though you see something weird happen like a chair moving on its own or maybe a door opening on its own with no explanation cause you don't see anyone or anything moving it then its not normal cause that stuff doesn't move on its own so its paranormal. Some people might find it more comfortable to call something like that paranormal instead of ghosts because of looking at it that way. So whether or not one believes in ghosts there could always be something paranormal happening to someone somewhere
Posted by: Sora the Pikachu Nov 22 2012, 09:34 PM
I believe in Ghosts, totally.
But, the fact that when someone dies, their spirit lingers around on occasions is actually hard to believe. At first, I didn't believe in any...and then I heard and experienced some of the stories at my Grandparent's house...let me tell you, one of the most scariest things ever...
But something like a door opening for no reason and a chair moving for no reason doesn't mean it's paranormal. The door in my room always opens at unsuspecting moments, but only a crack, and if I'm lucky, I can sometimes see the doorknob turn and watch it open, with no one on the other side, yet I don't think my house is haunted...yet.
End of Statement.

i believe in angels and demons, but that "souls" have a place away from earth after death. so... i guess that the "ghost" is either a demon or a poltergeist (which is a collection of negative energies and all that), or maybe just strong energy or memory imprinted or whatever, but not necessarily the person's soul...
i've experienced something "ghost-like" a couple of times when i was younger, but mainly now i'm just paranoid =/

I'm one of those people that I have to have something paranormal happen to me before I believe it. I believe that there are spirits that are stuck here on because of something tramatic happened before they died though. You can say that I'm a skeptic, but not ones that doesn't believe that are spirits amongst us at all.

I heard that some people actually touched a ghost before and I really believe that there are ghosts everywhere as well. also, I heard that some ghosts are not trying to scare your wits out, they are just hanging around.

I think that the possibility of ghosts existing would be astronomical.

The only kind of "proof" regarding ghosts is anecdotal. So.

I think it could be possible. But mostly not.

The topic of angels and demons has become a bit kitsch after all these TV series. However, I definitely believe in the afterlife as a kind of parallel universe. I definitely would not want to be able to see this since such things do not fit in the human mind peacefully. But sometimes I myself face such manifestations (as a rule, these are the souls of relatives). The dead can come to us in me or give advice using special systems. I'm not a medium))) Sometimes I just ask a question inside myself and look for a combination of numbers. The answer looks something like this - https://www.sunsigns.org/angel-number-33-meaning/ I believe that this is a good proof of the partial contact of our world with the other world.
