First off, at the moment I am open to spritual beings etc. I like the idea they exsist and it's not a trick my mind is playing.
That kind of contradicts with science and I try and be a rational, aswell as big fan of Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss.
Some people see ghosts and others lie about it, I know.
But I have seen a ghost before about 6 years ago. Clearly a ghost, for a good 3-4 seconds me and a freind stared at it.
I've heard if you think ghosts are real and you're scared or whatever, your mind can make a hallucination of a ghost, however, why did me and my freind see the same thing?
My mums side of the family have just about ALL seen a ghost or somthing out of the ordinary. My dad dosen't believe (even after seeing what my mum, sisters and brother saw which was a pure glowing shape of a man that dissapeared, reappeared and dissapeared again in the mist) in them and his family don't speak to us.
I'm telling you this because I have a freind who makes a living off readings, and whatever else psychics who has written books on all the ghost stuff and he said the ability to see and interact with spirits is passed down through family. He also said it's suppressed by fear and gets better as you get older. I've seen one ghost, my little brother hasn't seen and and my mum has seen a good few things, like 4-5 which backs up the age thing AND the family connection.
The psychic I know said he see's ghosts quite often and if I've seen one before, I should be able to summon it and it show itself to me again.
I've told him I want him to come to where I saw it and try summon it to proove to my what I saw and we're meant to do a quija board but haven't got round to it yet.
TL;DR
I've seen a ghost, why?
Do they exsist or is there a scientific explanation?
MY MIND ABOUT WHAT I SAW:
If it was real, I want to see another ghost to proove it.
If I don't see another ghost, how can I belive it was real?
If it was my mind playing tricks, why did my freind see the same thing?
Ever seen a show called Ghost Hunters?
