what are the reason ghosts are around us?

A: They're whats termed "grounded." They're here because they don't know how to leave or they're not willing to go. B: They're in whats called "visitation." They've gone on but they come back from time to time to visit. And this for reasons of their own. C: Its not really a spirit entity, but rather whats known as "residual energy." Kind of like a shadow or echo left behind after what was perhaps a rather intense life. Intense for that individual anyway.

I've seen things that can't be explained within reason.  I don't know if ghosts exists, no one does.  Everything else is just an opinion.

Yep, Ive seen a few. I dont believe in ghost though. I believe that once  a person is dead there dead. Thier spirit either goes to heaven or hell and stays there. So i believe that when we see \n"Ghost" its a Demon. I Believe they portay themselves as ppl we know or whatever.  Ive seen alot of them in my house, My friends houses, and a church. I was in a normal state of mind. The scariest "encounter" was when i was about 13 i was at my friends house and we was laying on her bed with our heads hanging of the edge, when we heard a scrapping noise, we jumped up and looked at where the noise was coming from and there was her stuffed animal hanging from the top of the wall, and then it fell. It was wierd. We didnt see an actual qhost but something was there. And one  night 2 years ago i was staying at my best friends house and there house was empty cause they were moving the next day. Well we slept in the living room that night and ALL night Doors kept opening and slamming shut. Then lights were going off and on. and you could hear footsteps in the kitchen. but you couldnt see anything anywhere. It was so scary. We've also seen a male looking ghost there that goes by the name of John John.  SCARY!!!

No. There are no ghosts. It is the creation human mind. The fears that exist in our mind take the imaginary shape of ghost.

Ghosts are demonic impersonating humans

I believe that ghosts or "spirits" really do exist.  I also believe that it is because they have a "problem" of some sort that is not yet solved to their satisfaction, is a victim of a murder or other crime; or they are caught between this world and the next world, maybe because they committed suicide.

i wouldnt call them ghosts rather spirits or energies. I use to live in an appartment block which use to be an Old County Infirmary- it use to be the place where they cared for leapers. And I can definately tell you they are real!\n\nLots of weird things happened, once I was watching tv alone and a knife fell off the draining board of its own accord. (there was no vibrations coming from any applicance at the time to have knocked it off). \nAnother time my self and my boyfriend we just nodding off to sleep and right up in the corner of the room a huge dark shadow appeared and swooped over the two of us and away over the headboard-the two of us saw it at the same time.\nAnd there was always thumbing and dragging noises coming from above us although we lived on the top floor.\n\nAnother thing that makes me believe in spirits is that my own mother died 2 years ago, and recently I was at home and heard her bed squeek as if some1 sat on it -thinking it was the dog jumping on or off i went to see there was no one there, all of a sudden I got an overwhelming smell of flowers (she was a keen gardener).\nAnd the most amazing of all is, I had a picture of my mother and myself hugging on new years 1999, I loved the picture as we both looked so happy, I kept the picture in my diary and never ever moved it-no1 else knew where the picture was let alone remember having the picture. \nOne evening I was feeling really down, it was a particular bad time in my life and I asked my mother for a sign that she was looking after me. I was busying myself by clearing out some cupboards that hadnt been touched in years and low and behold the exact picture feel out of an old book- i know it was da same picture as I had written on the back. I reckon it was my mothers way of telling me she's still here in some form still looking after me.

Lots of people believe that there are spirits among us, and not necessarily the Christian spirits you know. Some say there are ghosts here (which are spirits of people who died on earth but have not yet left earth to continue their journey). Some spirits may not be ghosts, but spirits that come here to guide us or visit us. Some people call those angels, some just call them spirits. \nIn short - there are a lot of theories about what kinds of spirits are here, and many different beliefs. Some people communicate with them, and say you probably communicate with them too, even though you're not aware of it.

Ghosts are as real as we are, but they don't hang around in cemeteries. The energy felt in graveyards is only the residue of grief or fear or dread left behind by the living.

Oh' yes there are, if not ghost, then there must be a lot of bad spirits around.\nYou probably can't see them, but they are everywhere at every house, including yours.\nIf you want to see them I always can tell you how.\nBut if you do, just don't go fooling around with them, as the minute they notice you are seeing them, they all will be asking you to accept them in your body.\nSo pretend as usual not able to see them, if by mistake they talk to you, with a sarcastic voice, just keep cool as nothing is happening. OK.

Ghosts are everywhere, they are the spirits of those who have gone on before us. Some believe they are demons but then again isn't there something about a ghost in the Bible. Father son and holy ghost correct... I have a ghost in my rug ( Native American made) who visits me when I am stressed out to the max, and he sits with me and comforts me. I have had a ghost in one house where we lived of the woman who had lived there and her cat who used to just sit on the top of my bookcase... The building I live in now, use to be a ballroom and hotel rooms and Capone use to hang out around here, the ghosts in this place are not happy ones, but they don't bother me as long as I don't bother them..

I have had a similar experience.  In the house I grew up in, we had a ghost that we called Casper.  He didn't do anything bad, just relocted items to new places temporarily.  He always put them back eventually.  I do beleive that spirits linger here with us.

Ghosts and hauntings are a fact.  People everywhere experience this type of phenomena.\n\nBUT it is yet undetermined what ghosts are.  I personally think it is unlikely that its the souls of deceased people.\n\nI think it is more likely that ghosts and hauntings are caused by an energy imprint, environmental factors, psychological experiences, or some combination therein.\n\nI guess my point is that people do have experiences they attribute to ghosts, but we can't yet determine what causes those experiences to occur.\n\nWith all that said - I can't even say that ghosts aren't the souls of deceased people.  But the whole idea seems a little illogical to me.\n\nJaime\n(please note these are my views and not the views of everyone in my group)

It is a very sad statement about the population of the US that so many want to believe this sort of nonsense, and alien abduction etc. It is even worse when about 1/3 of the population does not know the earth orbits the sun, and a large fraction of US adults cannot locate the US on a globe. \n\nI will not dismiss out of hand all accounts of supernatural phenomenon, but most of it is explained by vagaries of the human mind and its processes, which is basically uncharted territory. If there are ghosts etc, where is the evidence?

That is a haunting thought. Check with the registry of paranormal sightings. All ghosts are required to sign in and be registered, using invisible ink of course.
