Maybe they're not ghosts, but some other natural phenomenon that we can't explain...

The one claiming that something exists must prove it - not the other way around!

Many genius died before that their intuition was proved... and they where not called scientists, in life...

Many people don't do that distinction

As for myself, I don't believe ghosts have a human form. I do believe in them, as many other things considered supernatural, as I try to keep an open mind about everything. But I figure, that if ghosts had a face I would have seen at least one by now, since half of my teen days were spent in graveyards and abandoned/haunted places.

Ehmm....What would be a proof of ghosts existence??? :blink:

Maybe actually seeing one.

Hands up anyone here, who has either "definitely" seen one themselves. Or at least knows someone personally, whom they would trust completely, that claims to have "definitely" seen one? (No friends of friends, second-cousins twice removed on your mothers side's or "There was one kid at school...." Stories)

Or actual video footage taken by a reliable source.. I.e. the Discovery Channel, BBC, Live TV Show etc..
If ghosts existed in the way people think they do, surely they must have been caught on live TV millions of times by now? :blink:

If I was to believe completely in them, I'd have to agree with the theory they are not supernatural, just unexplained phenomena.

I dont believe in ghosts because there isnt any supporting, hard, factual evidence that can be reproduced.

[omg]

the thing with the ability to see ghosts is it just seems to be some people can see em, or sense em an some people cant. i live in what was a haunted flat. a girl got stabbed to death here in the 1970's and in the early 90s be4 i moved here a boy fell out of the back window. when we (i an wifey) first moved here we wondered why such a nice flat was so cheap. we found out. red drips on the walls, sudden sharp drops in tempreture, shadowy movement, freinds who would come round when she was playing up would get totally freaked. but she has chilled out, when she would start acting up i would just ignore her, try to send her calming vibes, if my mates started freaking i wld jus tell them to ignore her, and start telling jokes, gettin people laffin. hasnt been a peep from her for 1 year.

as for the lad u jus get a kinda glowy mess at the spot where he fell some nights. has never bothered me though, well i lie i have run before, also just next to the flat is a civil war battleground. o and an orphange burned down in the first world war killing all the kids bar 2, cuz this street got heavily shelled by the german fleet in ww1. a lot of people who have lived on this street have ghostly experiances, but then a lot of people dont.

they wont ever prove em or not prove em. all they can moniter is the brain stimulus an kirlain of mediums when they contact em, even then most mediums are totall frauds. i think the only people who actually have contact with em are the people that banish em, not the ones that chat with em 4 the benifit of family members.

What do you mean with your last sentence? People that banish them?

[omg]

banish em = cross em over. i dont think you meant to contact them, i dont think they are meant to be here, most hauntings are by people who have had violent deaths.
