I just happened to stumble upon this:

OTHER HUNCHES: About one out of five people, 19 percent, say they accept the existence of spells or witchcraft. Nearly half, 48 percent, believe in extrasensory perception, or ESP.

WHO: The most likely candidates for ghostly visits include single people, Catholics and those who never attend religious services.

So now I'm asking the Peeps what they think about it...

I completely believe in them...and Ive seen them and sensed them. I have lots of weird stories but it would take a long time to tell them.

None of the responses fit me. There is enough anecdotal evidence that they exists to make me accept the possibility. But I won't believe till I see (experience?) one my self.

I believe in ghosts, but have never seen one. I worked in an old restaurant here in Toledo, that was haunted. It was even listed in the Haunted Ohio book. The third floor was supposed to be where "The family" lived. I was too chicken to go up there. I did witness loud banging, and weird voices when i would be there late at night though.....creepy...

I feel kinda like the same, but for me accepting the possibility is as good as believing.

But I hate those ghost hunter reality shows. The ones where they run around a house with infared lights, announcing changes in temperatures and stuff like that,,,,,but you never see a ghost.

I believe in them and have seen them. We had them in our very first house. And now my Grandma comes to visit me once and awhile. Mostly at Christmas time (it was her favorite holiday)!

Ghosts tend to be somewhat camera shy, huh?
At least that's what I make of it...

That is so cool,,,,,while I don't really believe, I want to. I would love to see one. That would be so awesome,,,and really give you some deep thoughts to ponder.

It's kinda freaky the first time! Makes you wonder if you saw what you think you saw!

It makes me glad she is still around to check up on me!

Off to party! TTYL!

I haven't seen one, but have had dreams of my Grandfather hugging me and woke up feeling like it happened. We had a very strong connection when he was alive so that may be the reason. Not sure. It felt real though.

**TeeZet** · 10-27-2007

I think a lot of it has to do with your subconscious mind telling you what you should see. Whether something's actually there or not.

Probably. Although, how can you explain a clock that hasn't chimed for 15 years owned by a Grandmother who recently passed, suddenly chiming a week after her death? Oh, and it wasn't wound.
