Oooh, ghost stories! =D I'm a very spiritual person, in my own unique way... but I don't quite believe in the existance of ghosts in the traditional "roaming spirits of the dead" sense.  It would take me a month to really explain exactly how I feel on the subject.  So let's just boil it down to: among other reasons, I've had enough "unxeplainable experiences" that I believe there are things far above and beyond what science has told us so far... but not so far as restless spirits of the dead floating around causing mischief. At the risk of sounding like a plug for The Matrix, I believe our minds and our will determines what is real for us.  If you really, truly, deeply believe in ghosts... then yeah, you're gonna see them.  If you don't, then you're not.

*nods* indeed.. i have had fascination with ghosts ever since i was a sprout, that & haunted houses i find to be intriguing; in a sense, i walk a path of intuition ~ an inheritence from my lineage, i suppose.. i have belief in the paranormal, but more along the lines of feeling ~ i can feel presences rather than what "experts" claim they can actually see; that aspect i'm skeptical of.. =. however, i can definitely sense when i am, & whem i am not alone; that helps, especially when exploring places of reputed hauntings.. as far as experience goes, i do know that my parents' home is haunted, beings pass by the halls at the corner of my eye - more like traces of faded forms for a brief moment, but i can definitely sense when they are around.. *ponders* hmmm, there's a thought ~ i have yet to try & take pictures during those moments; i'll have to try that sometime.. ^.-
