On one hand I would be terrified to find out they are real. I have never had an experience, but i've heard friends and families experiences with the 'supernatural'. And having things that are invisible and watching you (assuming ghosts are as typically seen being invisible people). Then I would hope they aren't. 

But on another hand, having family members being able to stay with you. Or even just people who may have died and are able to watch over their family or friends. I like that idea. and it brings a sort of comfort. 

Also I feel like its better for it to be undetermined. People who may not like the idea can believe they don't exist. And people who like the idea or are comforted by it, can beleive it exists. Plus with all the seperate religions and beleifs its nice to hear what other people think!

I believe basically time is an illusion and all moments exist at the same "time" if that makes sense? Sometimes we see ghosts because, quite simply, those moments and the people in them still exist. We kinda have blinders on and can only see reality in a certain way as we flow through time, but it is all always there no matter what. I will end it here instead of droning on with a wall of text lol.

I don't believe in them. One of the main reasons is neurology. When Your brain is damaged, your mind works bad or not works at all. It suggests, that mind without brain doesn't exists.

Kind of. I do hope it's real cause it reassures me that there is at least something after death as I am afraid of death. I am afraid that there would literally be nothing. That you would just cease to exist.

Well, I would say yes, but I believe there are only evil spirts and demons this because when you die you go in a deep sleep where only God and Jesus can wake us from. (Mark 5:21-43) And when people die, and other people say that they can see their sprit, or they were sending a sign or something like that I believe that's an evil spirt or demon because as I stated before "when you die you go in a deep sleep where only God and Jesus can wake us from." (Leviticus 19:31, 2 Corinthians 11:14) I also believe that the afterlife is when Jesus and 144,000 rule for a thousand yrs and bring us to the new world to teach us the knowledge of God. (Revelation 21:1-4, Revelation 20:4) After the thousand yrs God is given back the thrown and rules again. And yes, I'm a JW/Jehovah Witnesses.( Revelation 20:6)

Once you're dead, you're dead. Religion + this idea of "something more" was created to comfort people and hide the reality of it all. We are just clumps of cells, meat sacks made to reproduce then die.

I do not personally believe in an afterlife/ghosts, but I am still kinda scared that there might be ghosts.

Yes, due to the fact that even in my own culture it's been normalized that they exist and in general for good reason. Like there just things that cannot be explained in a simple yes or no manner especially with something supernatural. Also, honestly i feel like a lot of it definitely has to do with the different dimensions above us like the 4th dimension. Like i personally think we either decent or ascend to different planes pus it would also be why we can't see ghosts under most circumstances aswell as in general supernatural beings.

Yes! I firmly believe in ghosts and the afterlife. My family is convinced we have a cat ghost living with us. I've personally seen a black cat disappear under my mom's bed when the door was closed and our actual cat wasn't in there (she's also got lighter colors on her tail). Almost everyone has felt a cat brush on their leg and when they'd look down to see our cat she wasn't there. 

I love our friendly cat ghost <3

I do believe in the existence of ghosts,gods and supernaturals stuff like curses,blessings etc etc .I am like heavy into science if u ask me on how life/earth is made ,big bang theory and all. But There have been incidents in my life where i have felt the energy "negative aura" something like that. i also have had my fair share of experiences of supernatural _〆(´Д` )
(although it can be me hallucinating) 

Like from child hood, whenever i sleep i always felt eyes watching me,still do and no matter i try to explain it,i come off as crazy.
But one thing that I believe strongly is that they are incapable of hurting us..like ghosts..that too physically. so i rest easy(*^-^*)

On the other side,i feel extreme sense of calmness and a "presence" when i visit holy places like temples,churches etc.Not every single one of them, but some of them..really really do.(/▽\)

sometimes i think that the idea that there is life after death is a vague hope related to the belief of "having another chance". personally, i hope that nothing exists after eternal rest, i'm happy with this.

not exactly, i believe that theres a period of time in which you are bound to this specific earth as some sort of ghost after you die, but after that you are given another life. it repeats over and over again, each time being a new life. it could be anything, from an animal to a fictional character to another human again. i believe that some people can recall these lives, or fragments of them, but others cannot.

I have pretty mixed opinion on ghosts, but I would say yes. 
Mostly because I THINK I have seen it and sometimes I see the same lady in my dreams or sometimes during sleep paralysis. 

I would think it was my kid imagination but the same lady that I saw that day was seen by my sister too! And she even seen her coming to her once and then dissapear... or even my aunt saw her in her dreams while sleeping in our room.

Its been a while since I saw that lady but I just find it really interesting... wish I would see her again and maybe ask her something.

I personally believe in hell and heaven after death because there is just some awful people in this world, including those greedy billionaires, politics, influencers who don't think they'll have consequences because "we all die anyways" or "yolo". Even though I do feel genuinely bad for those who are in hell, just some of them absolutely deserve it. But I also believe in some of the other opinions that others say, because although there is a heaven and hell there is also spirits roaming around earth, which I seen and interacted with growing up even to this day. I may not know why they are still wandering around although I wish I knew, but maybe someday we all will understand

My views are pretty grim.


However, the idea of ghosts and the afterlife is cool as hell. I respect other people's belief in the afterlife and supernatural stuff.

I've had experiences that I could not explain away. I've heard someone whispering my name directly into my ear in an empty room, and some houses just have a horrific effect on me and give me the creeps like something haunts them. However, it's never been enough to prove the afterlife exists, so I end up going back and forth on the whole ghost business. I think there is a force out there we don't understand, but I do think we'll understand it one day and it'll be firmly planted in the realm of science when we do.

it's cool to think there is an afterlife, but whenever i really think about it, i just confuse myself lol.

i used to believe that when we die, we get to go to any dimension/universe of my choosing. but i only believed this because at the time i was having some kind of identity crisis and really wanted to become my MLP sona lmao

but in all reality, i like to believe in reincarnation. for one thing it amuses me and keeps me a little happier that if this life is total shit, maybe the next one'll be a little bit better :)

I like to think that ghosts are real and they roam the Earth, even though I don't have any proof or anecdotes to back up my belief. I just do, I suppose.

As for the afterlife, even though I'm agnostic, I was raised with catholic ideals, so I think those will inherently stay with me regardless of if I practice or not. I like to imagine the afterlife, if it does exist, is unique to every person that experiences it. Like, a lot of people could be gathered in one place, but to every person there the place looks different. I don't know really, these are just ideas and hopes for what comes after my earthly days.

I do believe in the ghosts/spirits. During the time I have been alive I have had too many things happen to me for me not to believe in it.

I think that ghosts could be a possiblity, it would be pretty cool to think that spirits exist instead of it just being black when you go. I feel the human life holds too many experinces to just completely be wiped like that.

I personally definetly believe in supernatural. Although it also it depends on where in world you live, there are diffirent type of supernaturality. Some people are more sensitive to that stuff than others.

In Finland, where I am from, there is this a legend/phenomenon called "Metsänpeitto" which is english would be called "blanket of forest":

In this phenomenon person would go walk in woods, or just be simply camping in middle of forest minding their own business, example grilling something in fire.. and then suddenly they realise everything is completely quiet. Birds don't sing.. person then might notice that their tent might be gone. Its like in a dream, bit an eerie feeling. Its believed that its a forest spirits playing with human. Taking human back to spirit world. (In medivial times finns believed that forests have portals to afterlife/spirit realm) It can take few hours that person is walking around confused, then again; suddenly they are back in human world. They can supposedly mess around with human for many hours. 

I personally have experienced metsänpeitto when I was around 14 years old. We were walking our family dog in a national park, there were lots of cliffs, lots of trees, mainly pines. I was with my parents walking behind them, they stopped as dog started to sniff a tree I think. I turned to look around, then all of sudden they were gone. I was so confused. I got this sort of strange feeling, wind didn't feel real, everything went quiet. I started to panic as national park is big place. I looked around and went the same route we did already. Then all of sudden, my father found me all pissed and asked where the he*l had I been.

In a finno-ugric folklore trickster forest spirits are quite common. Before the crusades and old christians in medivial times, finns believed in diffirent gods of forest. I think in general a finns should go forest more of then as its what provided us in older times. And still do.

Not ghosts so much as spirits or entities. Sometimes you enter a room and can just sort of feel it? It's not like a visual thing so much as "Oh hey it feels like I'm not alone in this room." sometimes it can get uncomfortable but I accept that most of the time nothing bad will happen. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but for me it adds some whimsy to my life.

ghosts? i believe that supernatural entities exist but the concept of a soul that couldnt ascend (or descend) to the afterlife is kind of hard to believe.

afterlife? i believe in the afterlife and i believe that your afterlife is affected by what you did in life. but then again who knows what its like.

No I don't. Just like most things there is a probability but it is much more likely we return to space dust. I wouldn't mind if they do exist I'd like to spend my afterlife like that

Yes. I feel like everyone goes where they want to be. Sometimes life creates this mentality that you either have to go up or down but honestly, people can dream anything into existence so why would that stop someone from traveling to anyplace they want after? I personally believe when its time im gonna be in a cool super hero world or like in the land of Ooo lel

I do believe in spirits and the afterlife. I'm Christian, so I do believe that everybody has a soul, and that they are either going to go to Heaven or Hell as their final destination. As for how spirits interact with the physical world, I don't think they do, to be honest. It'd make sense to me if one's spirit, when they died, was in some sort of "sleep" until Judgment Day. Whenever people say they felt the comforting presence of the spirit of someone dead I think it's God or an angel he sends to comfort them.

Yes, I do believe others, human or not, exist. Here is one story from my time here on Earth: 

CW/TW- mention of d*ath 

I used to have nightmares as a child about finding a man hanging from a tree, above a dirt road. He was young, barely a teenager. I never understood them, and as I grew older I brushed it off as a terror I had as a child. Until my Father, who is now passed, and I were talking about our family history, not the typical- the weird stuff. Turns out, my Father had a distant cousin in the mountains back in the 70s, who was found just before his 13th birthday, hanging from a tree. It was, at first, suspected as a suicide. Until they realized that it was nearly impossible for this boy to get up there himself. More information came out, and the rumor always was- he snuck out past curfew, and saw illegal moonshining, so he was silenced. I have no idea if he was sending me some kind of sign, since I never met or knew about him until it came up in conversation.

Definitely, there is just something that tells me that they are real. There is no way a whole soul or being just dissapearss after passing i believe there is some sort of essence of sorts)? still around even when a person is gone that keeping them tied to this reality in some way, its hard to explain tho

i'm always iffy on this. it's kinda hard to believe anybody, most things online about ghosts are faked and so are stories, a lot of the time it's just people being superstitious, but it's not that I completely have written off their possible existence. I WANT to believe, but I don't think I can unless something happens to me personally that I can't explain.

yes i believe im spirits. in my very first apartment i always felt like i was not alone, like i was being watched. My cups fell down, sometimes when i got home after school, some closets where open, even though i did not use it in the morning. after moving out to a different apartment, i never felt watched or not alone. i have a huge suspicion, that there were spirits in that house, because i never felt safe.


i worked in a restaurant right under my apartment and a whole whiskey bottle fell from the bar, the microwave in the kitchen started, but i was all alone. tell me? Is that a normal thing?
