I thought I would ask this question as plain as possible. Just straight forward. This should be interesting.

I don't think I've been shy about saying that I am a huge agnostic – about everything. Ghosts are no different. I've had experiences that make me think maybe. So I don't know. I just don't know. Helpful, huh?

Well, there is no doubt where I stand on this issue! LOL! Hard to escape it where I work and what I experience almost every time I step onto that battlefield property. /wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Come on down! I have a beautiful, historic suite with your name on it!

And, after the boys have "teased" you all night, I'll be your personal guide on the battlefield! And, if we are lucky, they will "tease" you there too!

I voted yes just because of the encounters I've had in the past. Plus my family history played a lot into it.

I do not, which has no bearing as to if they exist or not. I base my belief on evidence which I don't find convincing. This is provisional of course.

This is very interesting so far. Many people have had personal experiences, it seems. There are people that can go their whole lives never having one. What that means, I don't know?

Yeah – definitely more believers as a percentage. I'm guessing that people who have had experiences may be more drawn to the paranormal.

As I have stated previously, I've had experiences, one of which I held on to for a very long time before realized I had a hynpagogic episode. It was that episode that led me to examine other experiences, and the realization of how untrustworthy our senses are. It was only few years ago that a man was released from prison on a rape charge because his DNA didn't match the actual perpetrator's. I hate to use this example of the problem with eyewitness testimony, but there you have it.

I might have been in the maybe position if I just went by my lone experiences. But when you are sitting there and see a ghost, and the person across the table who is virtually a stranger see the same thing…well, that just pushed it from a maybe to a yes for me. That is one of the reasons I want to go ghost haunting. Yes, it is intriquing to experience a paranormal episode by yourself, but to experience with others……makes the experience so much sweeter. /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Laugh' />

I voted maybe. But, maybe I should of voted no. lol

There is part of me who wants to believe. There is a much bigger part of me, who thinks IF ghosts/spirits are there we all should be able to experience them.

Then, I think I have never had an paranoramal experience.

Honestly, I want one very badly. Would I believe then, probably not. But, anything is possible depending on the experience.

I'm interested in seeing a full blown apparition. This MAY be the only way to convince myself.

Evp's, cold spots, photographs, and video are hard for me to believe and understand why we need this type of evidence, when some people are just having the personal experience. Yes, their reports (experiences) are hear say, but part of me thinks "who knows" what people are seeing. The other part of me is very skeptical, but open to the possibility.

Anyway, I enjoy reading about peoples experiences.

The tv paranormal shows, have always been fake to me. I watch for entertainment

I have been looking for credible demonstrated proof, my whole life.

As I'm reaching my later years, I would just like one experience.

I view myself in paranormal limbo.

I have also double talked in this post. /biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> But, this is the way I see it.

Which is why sometimes, I think investigators should provoke.
