This should be merged with the Supernatural thread.

There is something creepy about kid ghosts.

^Because they went before their time.

Little kids are creepy in general. You ever have one just stare at your ass...for like a long time? Scary.

I was taught growing up that ghosts were really demons, trying to contradict the bible. I think that's a much creepier concept then the fact that of dead people walking around watching us.

Were you also taught that all the pictures of the Earth we have as a round sphere were created by scientists and "of the devil?"

For my part, I do in fact believe in ghosts, because of personal experiences (not the ones from my older threads, because a majority of those were made up). I've seen faces in static televisions with other people present and in the room who saw them as well. I've heard voices and whispers from nowhere, and I've seen what I guess could be called 'apparitions.'
My theory is that, since we are all, at our most base level, made of energy, and since energy never really dies or extinguishes and only changes form, that its basically what constitutes our mind and conscious changing forum. It's a bum f.*** theory that I'm still working out, but...

Superhobo- I thought you were a firm believer that there is no afterlife?

No, I've stated numerous times that, though I'm agnostic, I believe that there is some form of afterlife that has to do with energy. It's not the uber supernatural one that we all think it is, I think. But, there's probably something. A higher state of being, I think would be a better choice of words.

ive seen some really scary stuff and not under the influence of drugs , fear or paranoia . i cant explain it but i know it was something different because ive seen things that i knew were just my eyes playing tricks on me and from being overtired.

 

[Addendum]

Do You believe in Ghosts? Or do we all go into nothingness when we die?

For the first question- I rely on this quote by Carl Sagan "extradordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Eye witness accounts are not always correct. There is a thing called "the Rashomon effect" where observers of an event can produce conflicting accounts of the event. Also, with the amount of technology we have available, it takes little effort to crop, edit, and/or digitally manipulate audio and video recordings.

As for the second question- I think we simply die and our bodies are food for worms, if we don't ask for cremation instead of burial
