For some reason, I tend to flip flop on this thing.

Right now, I'm in a hell-no stance. Probably has something to do with how often I think of death. Right now, aside from after watching this short film I... obtained..., I haven't been thinking about it all too much.

I don't believe in ghosts at all. That being said, I must admit, I really enjoy watching TV programs that are related to supernatural experiences involving ghosts like Ghost Hunters.

There are two things that will never be proven in my lifetime, and I mean solid evidence. They are whether ghosts exist and whether God exists.

I like to ask why I get headaches all the time to which the Bible-thumpers answer "That's God letting you know that he's there!". Wrong, that would most likely be either allergies or barometric pressure, what I was asking was rhetorical. Nice try though!

I'm open to the idea. I may even have seen one.

In the house that me and my family lived in, from 1995 to 2007 (however, I moved out in 2006).

Well, I was home alone (dun dun dun...), and was about to cook dinner. This was winter 2003, I think. Anyway, it was also dark out (as it usually is in winter time around the more polar latitudes).

So, anyway, I was in the kitchen, and went towards the fridge to fetch whatever I wanted to cook (this I can't remember), and it is so, that when you stood right in front of the fridge, you could also see right into the old part of the living room, and the door that lead to the verandah. I say the old part, because the people that lived in the house before us had expanded the living room, as well as building a bathroom that was not in the cellar.

Anyway.. as I don't remember now excactly how it happened, but for some reason I looked to my right (towards the living room/verandah door), and it appeared as though some white figure stood in the door (it had a big glass in it, that appeared black against the dark outside.) Of course, this is very vague, and sounds perhaps a bit to much like the classical ghost. It's still strange why I would see such a thing, never saw anything at any other point, so I guess I wasn't suffering from hallucinations, nor had my mind been preoccupied with ghosts prior to this.

It really gave me a chill down my back, and I've never felt anything like that before, or since.

However, after seeing this... whatever.. I really had to just sit down on the sofa and just.. breathe out heavily. Which is excactly what I did. I felt a little bit 'blank' afterwards, and it took a while before I could go back to cooking the food.

I am not going to conclude what it was that I saw, but after telling it to my parents, they suggested that it might be a person that built the house, and worked as a miner on Svalbard, but unfortunately died in the Kings Bay Accident in 1962. It is not unlikely that a person from my hometown in Northern Norway would be working in one of these mines.

Well, what I know is that they bought the house from the son of this man, which they believe is the one that haunted the house. (My mother claimed she saw him in the basement, my father felt an "uncomfortoble presence" in the living room, right next to where I saw.. whatever it was.) It says in the link though that he died in my hometown, but this link has a list of the people that died in said accident (Norwegian, but it's mostly just a list of names. Not hard to read.) Our man is #12 on this list.

But what really made me think that it was something was the reactions of our dog. Because he would sometimes run back and forth between the kitchen, and the verandah door, and bark up in the air at what appeared to us as, well, thin air. They do say that animals can sense things that humans cannot. I have no other explanation to it, then this.

It also fit with the observations of me, my father, and my sister, as she had claimed to see "grey shadows" moving from the verandah door towards the kitchen. She even claimed to see these when I was present, but I never saw these. She sounded sincere enough though, and I don't think she would make jokes about this.

So yeah, the end of the story is that yes, I do believe that ghosts may just exist. However, I also do believe that a lot of supposedly alleged ghost stories are nothing but hoaxes and bullshit. But I cannot really prove anything either way, more then what I have done here.

I believe in them, but not in the sense that everyone else does.

The string theory (I believe) dictates that there are an infinite amount of parallel universes upon an infinitely large dimensional plane of existence. When 2 universes overlap, sometimes, imprints, or silhouettes show up on a dimension, transferred from the other dimension, temporarily. We see these images as ghosts, when they're really just people's shadows from an alternate universe.

That's my theory, at least.

Nope. I don't believe in the kind of ghosts (for the most part) that people think of (like poltergeists and spectres living inside of old homes and such, like in The Great Amherst Mystery).

see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and

the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
