Ghost?
Do you believe in ghost? As in haunted houses, haunted places, ghost ships, and so on. I always find the answers of church people interesting about this subject.....

"Believe in" no. I don't place my confidence in such things. But I've seen too much to discount their existence. So, yes, I believe such things exist.

I do, but in an analogous sense, perhaps (back off Timmy!).
There can definitely be a connection between people and a place. Whether that is caused by "spirits" or even some sort of Jungian thing that links our memories together, I don't know. I don't know of any way to even begin to evaluate it - except to discount some of the more extravangant claims.
But even after you throw out the frauds, the entrepreneurial types wanting to make money off the grief of others and the down right wackos - there's still something that "haunts" us at times and in places.

Re: Ghost?
I believe in spirits but not ghosts. No I do not believe that my spirit stays behind and haunts things but I think that satan's henchmen get familiar with things in human lives and to get attention or to lead people astray they will use those familiarities to confuse and baffle people.
Whenever I hear people talk about ghosts they all seem to say the same thing. cold chills, hair on the back of my neck stood up, felt something cold, etc etc. Only time I ever felt that was in dealings with evil spirits. I never got chills or felt cold when I dealt with the Spirit of God. His Spirit always has felt warm and inviting.

Re: Ghost?
These guys are comedians & nailed it down pretty good!
Demons cause haunts, not human spirits.

I tend to agree with what you've said, nahkoe. I've seen and experienced too much to not believe that such things exist.
jax, you made a good point. Something I'll need to give some serious thought to. Thanks.

Re: Ghost?
I don't believe that human spirits do any haunting or otherwise suspicious activities after death, but I DO believe that evil spirits (demons) take pleasure in tormenting humans, whether that's by impersonating their dead Grandpa or making things go bump in the night.
