I admit I have never came in direct contact with a ghost. Some say fear may summon. My babysitter used to tell me scary ghost stories and I would hear stories and i'd be terrified. Every night I would be scared(Terrified). Eventually I grew up and I don't fear it anymore but I really don't think fear brings them on, just maybe if they exist there it may strengthen them.

I guess I should say I don't know if I believe it ghosts or if it's a mental disorder, but the overwhelming evidence but prove they exist on a certain level.

I think ghosts arn't actually conscious but think of it more as a memory. You're not actually there, but you see what happens and you don't control yourself. Who knows, a ghost may not actually have anything to do with the previous being, but just be there, for no reason at all. No I cannot explain why, nobody can.

What are your thoughts if they exist?

1. Residual energy casing, manifesting in actions by rote...
2. (in the case of communication with same)...Traumatic block at intermediate level...
3. Thought forms interacting with mundane level...

So you die. You find out first hand that you exist now on some ethereal or spirit level. You have contact with the earth and the living. Instead of using this discovery and going to some scientists and saying "hey scientists, im a ghost. Do some studies and tests on me. Try to understand what this is all about". No, that doesnt happen. Instead Im going to go to some creepy old house, and open and close doors, tap on windows, rattle some chains, and move chairs around; all for the goal of scaring the crap out of some crazy old lady, who no one will believe anyways.

If ghosts exist, they are the biggest trolls ever.

You have a very good point right there. But, things only happen in those old houses cause violent incidents have happened there in history.

As for the rest, can you re explain without big words or a more easier understanding sentence. I'm not a master of words and I don't understand what your getting at.

@horseplay. What makes a traumatic event repeat itself? Is it the sudden death? Is it the spirit being mad? Maybe he is too angry to let go?

Does the spirit have a option to stay and seek revenge? I just want other peoples answers before I have my own.

Totally isn't ignorant because nobody is forced to believe in ghosts. Just cause this is ATS doesn't mean everybody needs to believe in the paranormal.

Right!
Then ghosts are a crock of horse scat!
Anyone who believes in them is a psycho, and, those who do see them are in need of really good drugs...

...and anyone posting on a random forum site asking about them is a baiting troll?!

When I was younger I lived in a house in the southwest US. We would hear footsteps in the hallway, and cabinets and drawers slamming shut. These were once in a week occurences, but hardly disruptive. On one occassion me and my older brother were playing with a cassette recorder we had received over Christmas. We would record our voices, and play them back. It was fun until we heard a woman's voice. We couldn't make out what was said, but we were playing in a room on the opposite of the house, door closed and our mother was not home at the time. We never felt threatened by it, unless it slammed a cabinet door while my father was taking a shower, in which case we got in trouble for it. (the shower was on the other side of the wall to the cabinets in the kitchen)

I've had a couple other strange happenings as a teenager, which occured about a year apart and very similar, but I won't get into that.

Anyhow, some people have the opportunity to experience them, and some do not. I've grown up with a healthy interest in things paranormal. My personal belief is, is that there is something on a different plane to our existence, which can interact with us.

You are totally off on the wrong foot, I am trying to conduct a balanced conversation on the topic and your totally bashing me because of it. *sigh*

1. Residual energy casing, manifesting in actions by rote...
2. (in the case of communication with same)...Traumatic block at intermediate level...
3. Thought forms interacting with mundane level...

Conveniently skipped over explanation...

Now that you say it, in my old house one night I actually heared what sounded like footsteps coming from upstairs. But because, it only happened one night I never really thought too much of it. And the audio player sounds scary. Really glad the house I don't live in isn't haunted, i'm scared pretty easily.

You were the one I was referring to explain in a more conventional english way. I don't know what your trying to say and i'm not completely dumb. Maybe re-type it for idiots. Lol.

1. The soul (for want of a better term) is 'clothed' in layers to deal with transient 'environments'...the physical (our level) has most of them, intact...
Passing, dying, 'giving up the ghost'...drops, and in some cases, leaves behind some of this 'clothing'...it has a memory (of sorts) and can continue to 'haunt' areas where it once was...

2. Some traumatic deaths can prompt or lock, the subtler body at a level still able to interact with the mundane (ours)...thus, communication...

3. When we meet the creators, they will be us!
Thought forms can be created and take on a 'life' of thier own...albeit dumb...they are a distraction...
