ghosts
Ghosts are a significant part of a religion. It was mentioned and written in many parts of religious scriptures. The life after death was acknowledged in many of these scriptures. Nevertheless, it probably holds the logic behind paranormal activities. We acknowledge our existence because we believe we can see, touch, and feel ourselves. We tie in the existence of God as an extension of ours, without God we would not be here. As the Heaven and hell exist so we can separate the good from the bad.Ever imagine what it would feel if one of our darkest fears comes true. There are stories that are told around the world to scare us. It is up to each and every person who will hear it, if they would believe it or not. A story that is told throughout the years with different variations depending on the teller.I came around a topic in a magazine paranormal activities that probably means ghosts. I was curious,the question is do i believe in ghosts?

Ghosts, a hypothetical subject widely opened to the inquiry of us humans. In reference to Wikipedia, the definition of ghosts is “a ghost is the soul or spirit of a deceased person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living.” In my opinion, ghosts do exist. Of course they do. The existence of ghosts can be proved by unexplainable paranormal activities. Nevertheless, they have a strong connection with religions, explaining the whole logic and theory on the occurring of paranormal activities.

Based on the statistics on Wikipedia, ten of thousands of people from all nations around the world and all periods in human history reported encountering paranormal activities under more or less similar circumstances. Scientists who have witnessed and seen ghosts are believers, but universal belief is based on evidence, and even with photographic, video and audio evidence, many people aren't yet willing to universally accept that ghosts exists. As one who has seen them, I of course have no doubt, and

    The definition of a ghost is “a disembodied spirit imagined” (“dictionary.com, year”). To some people, this word is a joke. For others, it is a normal part of life. About 50% of people believe in ghosts, and 37% in haunted houses. This might be why ghost hunting shows are such a hit. There are shows such as “Ghost Adventures” and “Ghost Hunters”, which are now in their 8th and 13th season. Now more people are conducting their own experiments and trying to communicate with the dead (Radford, 2014). I believe that Aafter reviewing the evidence, there is enough evidence to confirm the existence of ghosts.…

    Based on our reading of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” people of 1790 may have been more superstitious or more likely to believe in ghosts than people today because the people of 1790 had no scientific explanations to what was going on around them. So, they made up these ideas to give them an answer or explanation. Today we have technology and a lot of scientific research, so we can tell if something is fake or not real when these ideas come into our heads. In 1790, they also didn’t know that some of the noises they hear may be a trees or bushes in the wind. They lived in small towns and told stories to make up…

    When it comes to paranormal activities or supernatural experiences, I am caught in the middle on where I believe it or not. I don’t necessarily believe in ghost but do believe in spirits. In 2004, my great grandmother died. For a whole year after her death, if I went over to her house, I would leave before it got dark because for some reason I was afraid to spend the night in her house after her death. I finally got the courage to spend the night over her house and I must admit, it was the most peaceful sleep I had ever gotten my entire life. While at her house, I could misplace something and spend a whole hour looking for it. Once I decide to give up looking for it I would say “Madear, give me back my ____” and instantly whatever I would be looking for would appear. I…

    The Bingham Light

    • 560 Words

    My mom and stepdad took my brother and I and some other family members down to the woods one night, as we all wanted to see the infamous Bingham light. It seemed like we walked forever in the woods until we came upon a clearing in the middle of the woods. It was only about a mile though, where we had to stand and shout out John Bingham’s name until the light appeared. As we were shouting out his name, low and behold a light in the distance appeared. It was far off but you could continuously see it moving closer and closer to us. The temperature changed. It didn’t get hotter but cooler. It was very scary to be in the middle of the woods to start off with, then to see this light coming toward us even after we stopped calling his name was terrifying. We didn’t stand around for it to get to close to us. We all started running as fast as we could out of those woods. There was loud screaming coming from all of us. I remember crying and hanging on to my mom for dear life. When we got out of the woods we looked back and the light was gone. We then began to laugh. No one can say if there really is a ghost out there in those woods or if we let our imagination get the best of us. It could even be someone else playing…

    The content of the ghost story can be rationally trusted to have happened to a point, while considering possible causes for some of the events. Since the story was told from one person’s memory of the event it brings up the question of what may have been forgotten or misremembered. One thing to consider is the primary source and whether it can be trusted. The primary source was a well-educated individual with a background in teaching, which adds credibility to his words. We also have to consider the background given during the story, for one thing he was a high school student at the time. That adds the factor of time to the equation, it had been years since it happened when the story was recalled. Another factor is the primary source stated, him and friends were not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but excitement and fear.…

    Are ghosts real? Many people speculate about whether paranormal phenomenon is believable and if it exists.

Scientists and paranormal investigators have been studying this concept for hundreds of years from the understanding of what an entity is, the use of scientific technology to collect evidence, and personal experience. Paranormal activity is real, not just a fabrication of the mind and they are entities apart from the Earth.…

Some ethnic groups believe in spirits and they do some religious rituals as a way of getting closer to the souls of the ancestors and satisfying them.

    Life is full of things that we can’t explain but in Why Do People Believe in Ghost by Tiffanie Wen she explores the cultural, emotional, and scientific reasoning behind believing in ghosts, although there are still questions left unanswered and unexplainable. In this point of time science and reason can’t answer all our questions. Children believe in Santa until they are told that he is not. Well, until there is an explanation for ghosts, astrology, psychics, and others humans will continue to…

    People have tried to communicate with the departed for ages, but most people who try are debunked and seen as frauds. In this field, modern physics and the electric currents that are produced sometimes shadow ghostly activity. Most ghost hunters use scientific methods to try and encounter ghosts, often including physics. There are different electromagnetic meters, as well as recordings that help the theory. There will always be myths and stories told of people explaining their experience with ghosts, but the scientific matter is another entity. The ghost hunting is more about the enjoyment and looking for the unknown, and more or less about the true evidence. Admitting shows like Ghosthunters and Ghost Adventures seem to attract deceitful interpretations of what it takes to find ghosts, there is still a goal of accumulating strong evidence. Using all these different kinds of methods to find ghosts doesn’t automatically assume there is a scientific approach being taken into account. What determines the scientific approach will be the examination of the data analysis and the ending results. Whatever ghosts are, and wherever they come from, the only way to truly find out if they exist is through scientific…
