    To be honest sometimes I do and sometimes I don't...I've had incidents that would tell me yes but then I just think they are just unexplained and don't really know...I ponder both there is and maybe there isn't... I don't have a definite answer I guess...

    You're entirely too reasonable when you're not joking Kayla.

    man, i saw with my own eyes some outrageously screwed up shit in my life. but now that i'm not under an intense amount of stress or fear, which can bring on seeing things and such, well, i don't see anything anymore. however, i am enough of a sucker to believe in all sorts of things. overlapping time, memories of a place like a recording playing again and again, emotions making an imprint on a place. but i'm not such a believer that i don't accept the more natural explanations. just that i'm not beyond accepting that there are things that can't really be explained. i'm okay with that. i'm just a lot more sceptical than this particular post would imply.

    I see ghosts or think they might be true, when I am tired and alone...the mind is a powerful tool to provoke all kinds of shit. When I'm not tired or alone I think ghosts are a load of bollocks.

    Agreed. When I'm sleep deprived I also see some crazy stuff. People out of the corner of my eyes that aren't there. The human mind is programmed to associate things like that, especially while sleep deprived. It also makes me jumpy sometimes.

    That doesn't mean I think there are actually dead people when I'm sleep deprived or emotionally stressed.

    the CLEAREST images, seriously, and a couple times i wasn't the only one to see it. when we lived in my old house, before we sold it, there were times when i'd see a little girl in a poofy dress running by. clear as day. the toys would go off, the rocking chair would rock. ALL OF WHICH is completely explainable as stress, cats, batteries dying, etc. but when we were selling our house, i was talking to the couple checking it out. my daughter was hovering behind my leg, and i see the little girl running through the dining area to the great room. i put it out of my mind as being stressed. the problem is, the lady i was talking to glanced in the same direction, looked confused, and said "i could swear i just saw your daughter over there." and i was stupid enough to explain. yeah, i felt REALLY stupid, it just came out. i was so worried i'd totally blown the sale. but i didn't.

    Like I said. People are programmed to think most things out of the corner of their eyes are people.

    After you died would you just be running around a house you lived in all day?

    I'd be spying on naked people in the shower.

    i'd totally be sexing up the husband and wife. it'd be awesome. but there's the question, what the hell was it out of the corner of our eyes? i think there's a lot of ways to explain it that are still outside of accepted, proven science, but are still fully natural.

    I've always wondered why people on those ghost shows say that when they see a ghost that it's always wearing like old-time clothing like bonnets and such...I mean most of the time when someone describes one, they usually say it's wearing old 1800 or 1900 style clothing...why is that..? Why no cross-colors or coolots...

    i have a theory that people are a little psychic a places have a sort of memory. not like souls are wandering around, but like there's some wrinkle in time where a specific moment just kinda keeps replaying. and yeah, totally going out on a limb to even say it, but that's my theory.
