do you believe in ghosts???

i don’t.
i know what you’re going to say. people tell me that i don’t believe they exist because i’ve never seen one yet. well, that’s certainly one reason. the other reason? read on.
what are ghosts actually? the Oxford says: "they" are spirits of dead people that appear to the living. some people say: "they" are earth-bound spirits that haven’t crossed over yet. but i say: "they" are just plain made-up stories. i believe that the human soul will leave the human body immediately after he or she passes away and will never reappear in any form on the face of the earth or anywhere in the universe. the life after death will continue, certainly not on earth (i would like to stress), but either in Heaven or hell according to God’s judgement. this is my ONLY belief on matters regarding life after death; my CHRISTIAN belief. what about you???
i recently got hooked-up with the new TV series called The Ghost Whisperer (starring the ever-pretty Jeniffer Love "Pheeeewwittt" Hewitt), aired every Monday night at 10.30pm on 8tv. this show is about a lady who possesses a gift which enables her to see the dead and commune with them. with this gift, she helps "them", the earth-bound spirits (that’s what she calls "them") that haven’t crossed over because of some unfinished business with their living loved ones, to cross over. with this gift too, she helps the living loved ones to forget the past and get on with life.
it’s a really fascinating, mind-boggling and heart-touching show to watch. just for pure fiction. not for beliefs. i like this show (though i don’t believe in ghosts whatsoever) because it’s very creative and of course for entertainment as well. i even cried a few times watching the series, thinking of people’s lost loved ones and how much it means to them if they could see, touch and talk to "they" who’ve passed on; vice versa. in that show, it portrays only good ghosts so far; ghosts who are helpless and in need, looking around for someone alive who could see "them" so that they could finish their unfinished business. this show believes that one can actually feel the dead’s presence if he or she (referring to those who are still alive and kicking) concentrates or focus a lil’ more. "they" feel like a cold small breath of wind on the skin when you come in contact with "them". about why the light bulbs can flicker at odd moments or why the eletricity can just go out sometimes for no reason, it’s because "their" presence is closely associated with the magnetic field. that somehow explains the reason why reality ghostbusters or ghostfinders use some "canggih" magnetic gadgets to track "them" down. so the next time you see your light or your computer screen flickers, it could be "them"… just kidding.
explanation on how come some people in real life have seen and talked to "them" before (if ghosts really don’t exist, what is it then?): well, this people are probably crazy (no offence…) or their eyes are just simply playing tricks on them or just too much imagination or it’s the evil spirits (not dead people’s spirits, what i mean here - fallen angels) are tricking this people into believing that there are ghosts around by being "them"!
personally, this is what i believe. you might not have the same opinion as i do and you don’t have to force yourself into believing what i believe in. if you believe that "they" exist, so be it! i respect that as much as you respect what i believe in. but there’s one thing for sure, i REALLY enjoy ghosts stories. feel free to tell me one. i’m all-ears.
Hmmmn, an interesting topic. Are not evil spirits and ghosts the same? Probably ghoasts are divided into good and bad…well, another explanation is that some people freak out not knowing it’s just a simple law of physics, lets say resonance, tricking people into thinking it is an act of the suernatural.But!! Then again, I myself have seen “haunted” photos my friend had taken few years back. It’s the kind where white images(faces) appear behind you in your photo…eerie..
well, cousin… so many questions as usual.
first of all, when i say “evil spirits”, they mean immortal beings that are not human spirits or spirits that exist after the deaths of earthly creatures. that’s why i mentioned “fallen angels” which means heaven-cast-out-angels-to-be-demons-in-hell like Satan himself. they are spirits that are formed supernaturally and NOT human spirits. by the way, like i said, there is NO SUCH THING as ghosts as the spirit of dead people do not dwell on earth or in the universe. Heaven or hell becomes the abode of our souls after we die, depending on God’s decision.
yes another reason of many many other possible reasons(which i didnt mention) about how come there are people who claimed they can see and commune with “them” would be the reason you’ve mentioned - just simple law of physics.
about the “haunted pix” you’ve seen, could the reason be: simple law of physics just like what you’ve mentioned? sometimes camera captures not only what we want it to take but it could also be the cosmic rays or some electromagnetic thingy which our camera sometimes ‘picks-up’ (happens at certain angles or depends on the skill of the photographer).
but anyway and anyhow, you don’t have to agree with me.
