Who believes in ghosts?

New TV drama based on the Enfield Poltergeist

I must admit to being sceptical. Two young girls, one of which was a gymnast at school, probably bored, made the stuff up.

It is a bit strange how in these days of mobile phones how the number of reported sightings have dropped off. A bit like the UFO issue.

No doubt a person's spirit has some amazing powers at least for a short time after their passing.

I believed in them as a kid, as I've grown up I believe less and less.
My wife believes in them, we apparently used ot have one in our old house. My daughter wouldn't sleep well but she was only very young and didn't talk with a massive vocabulary, but said she woke up and someone was in the room. The missus said she felt uneasy sometimes in the house.

I never noticed a thing!

Having said that, I won't be watching the show, it'll scare the crap out of me! I didn't sleep right for a couple of days after The Woman in Black.

I recogn there's something else. When my nan passed away it was a crap week weather wise cloudy rainy everything. Although of the night of the funeral it was glorious. I walked outside looked up and you could see all the stars and the moon it was beautiful. It was like heaven was allowing her in showing her where the party was!

I must admit I'm very sceptical on the subject.

Has any factual evidence ever been presented on any haunting case ?

Not a believer, although I find some ghost stories-legends to be quite interesting,
I also have "seen" a ghost, but remain unconvinced.

How can you see a ghost but not believe ? I don't follow. If you saw something physical with your eyes that could be truly defined as ghost then would that not make you believe.


You've not just seen some kids with a white sheet over their heads on Halloween have you D ? (giggle)
