i always hope to see one, but no luck so far. I think because I don't fear them I am less likely to be psychologically tricked into hearing/seeing them.

Never believed in them-always thought it was stupid. Although about a year ago my wife, my son and I started hearing a random "whistle" in the house. Not a song but like a person whistling a single note. Haven't figured it out yet, but it happens in all rooms of the house; all hours of the day. We call it our "ghost". As long as it doesn't start throwing things....

Yup.

We've seen dark shadows moving across the hallway in our old house and they used to like opening and closing the wicker close hamper in the laundry room. You could hear it creak as it opened or closed. When I was a kid, we lived in a house that was haunted by an old merchant marine. He used to try pulling to covers over my mom's head while she was sleeping. Darn near half the family has seen that ghost at one time or another.

No, no freaking way, hell NO.

People who believe in ghosts are the same people who see a 747 in the sky and convince themselves that it's visitors from another planet.

I think the real question is

:music:
Do you believe in magic ....
...in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts
And it's magic, if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
:music:

Yea, thanks for that. GFY.

I don't. But, I had such a weird experience a few years ago, I can't say that it's impossible.

It was just my wife and I in the house. I was up late one night, and was brushing my teeth before bed. The water was running and I was brushing, I heard my wife say something from outside the bathroom. Sounded like it came from just around the corner.

I poke my head out and say, "Huh?"

No-one was there.

I open the bedroom and door, and she's passed out asleep.

There were no TVs or radios on, and it was probably 2AM so there was no noise from outside.

I'm not saying it was a ghost, but I have no idea WHAT it was. Radio signal coming my fillings? "Echos" from other dimensions? Whatever it was, it was a loud female voice saying something. And it was close-by.

(And, for the record, I had no drinks or drugs that evening!)

Stuff like this has happened to me before, but I've always been able to find a satisfactory explanation for them. The flapper in my bedroom toilet spontaneously developed a leak one night, and I woke up that night hearing what sounded like a multitude of whispering human voices all around me. It was just the combined sounds of the water running slowly through the tank and the toilet simultaneously trying to refill itself, but for a solid 5 minutes I was frozen in terror because it sounded so real. I could almost understand what they were saying.

Yes I believe in them. Have I seen one personally? No.

My wife has seen a spirit of a little boy in our house. She was in the kitchen and looked down the hallway and saw a little boy dressed in white walk into my son's bedroom. All the kids were outside playing and she said "it wasn't any of our boys". She called the kids in and didn't tell them what she had seen. She told them to go to their room and pick up their toys. None of the kids said anything when they were picking up their toys so whatever it was left. When I got home from work she told me about it, spooked me the rest of the night.

Not at all.

I've been to places where people claim their house is haunted, etc, but there's just no evidence to support ghost theory.
0 evidence = 0 belief from me.

Is that all it takes to get you to believe in something for which there's no good evidence? huh.

If she told you she saw a little green man in the garden would you believe in gnomes? Just as plausible.
