Question Do you Believe?

I'm wondering what people's opinions are on Spirits/Ghosts.

This is not a religious thread so let's not turn into a religious debate, or flame fest.

PLEASE do not comment on what others have posted. Just pick a poll option, and post your personal feelings if you wish.

I'll start it off.

My personal take is:

"I just don't know one way or the other, but I the concept fascinates me to the point that I do research to find out for myself."

I have had quite a few "incidents" happen to me that I can't explain and that has gotten me thinking.

Cheers
Doc

You probably need to first define 'spirits/ghost'. Does this include 'angels and demons'?

I'm of the "open mind" set, and I hope that folks who respond and comment keep open minds too.

I voted #2. I can't prove they do or don't exist. So it's a "I don't know".

I said, "I firmly believe," but mean "know for sure." I'm not religious. Skeptical of the faith, and especially to the church.
But those with whom I am acquainted, had a strange cases and inexplicable meeting. I also saw something.
My once removed grandma Lida was a witch and In Russia there are many places where people are afraid to walk.
If we talk about India - a mystic just pursues man at the household level. I know the guy from Ekaterinburg, who spent many years living in Varanasi, simply because he was going to die if he leave this town. Some Mahatmas (independently) predicted his death the next day. When he no died the evening of the second day, they explained, "Varanasi - the holy place. He who dies here - reach nirvana without going through series of rebirths. You're so bad, that is not worthy of nirvana. You will not die until you are in Varanasi, or until your atone sins". I do not know, cheating is either true, laugh or cry. But the guy came to India to championship in Aikido, visited Varanasi by chance as a tourist during a break between competitions.

Angels and Demons are more of a religious nature so the answer is NO.

The only "spirits" I have known were named Jack Daniels and Wild Turkey. I gave them up long ago. Since then, I don't see ghost or spirits anymore.
