What is the most haunted state in the US?
Since ghosts are not real, technically there is no state more haunted than another. However, for the uneducated, superstitious or just young and naive people who believe haunting stories, Vermont is your best bet.
No. Ghosts have never been proven to exist, so it is intellectually responsible and prudent to conclude they do not exist. The previous answerer of this question basically said in their "opinion" ghosts are real. I'm improving this answer by stating that ghosts are either real, or they are not, regardless of anyone's opinion.
In order to make sense of our world, we must use the scientific method, not spooky stories, opinions, hoaxes or outright lies by people who need attention or need to feel special. Other believers may be uneducated, superstitious or just too young and naive.
The Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. A scientific method consists of the collection of data through observation and experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.
Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses. These steps must be repeatable in order to dependably predict any future results. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry may bind many independently derived hypotheses together in a coherent, supportive structure. This in turn may help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context.
Among other facets shared by the various fields of inquiry is the conviction that the process must be objective to reduce biased interpretations of the results. Another basic expectation is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, thereby allowing other researchers the opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This practice, called full disclosure, also allows statistical measures of the reliability of these data to be established.
In summation: For something to exist it has to be proven. This is how we escaped the dark ages - using reason and logic.So, for now, ghosts do not exist.
here is my reason of why ghosts are real my class mate saw a super wierd white face in the cafeteria and i saw theese strange markings on the class floor
when i blinked they were gone and my other classmate saw a watery holfe in the sky and ghost have been proven real so many people have saw a white hand on their shoulder but nobody was behind them and some people felt hands grabing them and scratching them.
Is an unexplained mark a sign of a ghost being present?
===new answer=== I assume that you are receiving marks like someone has beat you when they did not. It's not a ghost, it's a demon. It will continue to do this until it is bound and cast away. Not many are able to do this properly and usually will only drive it to someone nearby, such as a child of the person so afflicted. It is waiting for a chance to possess the person so afflicted. It can only enter through a gate: eyes, ears, nose, mouth, reproductive openings and anus. Be careful what you look at (such as porn), listen to (such as hate music), what you sniff (such as drugs), what you allow into your mouth (such as getting high or drunk), and who you have sex with and how you have sex with them. Best to only have sex with one you are married to, but be careful who you marry. Previous answer: Are you suggesting that literally anything unexplained (in other words, "I don't know where it came from") is caused by ghosts or perhaps other magical forces? It doesn't seem reasonable that this should be your conclusion. If you learn where a mark or some other thing comes from, does this mean that there was a ghost present, but now the ghost has gone away?
Yes, ghosts are already proven real. It's pretty obvious and those who doesn't believe it are obviously the people who haven't experienced seeing one or feeling, I guess? Majority of the ghost are harmless and lost that only needed justice at their past life but others are really aggressive and wanted revenge. Ghost were once living humans too, like us, ghost also have good and bad guys.
No. There is no proof that ghosts are real.
How will you know if the ghost keeps on following you?
The jury is out as to whether there are ghosts (entities) or not. There are photographs that can't be explained and it doesn't mean because you can't prove something it doesn't exist as there are many things in this world that we don't understand yet. Some people say they feel their hair standing up on the back of their neck. Other people say they feel as if they are being watched. Lights may flicker and in some reported cases (on video) objects in a room will move. There can be the smell of flowers or perfume or other scents. Sometimes there are sounds such as someone playing a piano, but there is no piano in the room. On and on it goes and where it stops nobody knows. It's often hard to know whether a ghost is actually following anyone or that person is interested in the Supernatural and is more open to suggestions of their own mind or even perhaps the suggestion from someone else. From what I have read (scientifically and from seeing video tapes) it's possible. However, not all ghosts are bad ones and it could be a loved one surrounding you. It may be no one at all.
Well if you feel like someone is watching you, if you feel like some one is right beside you, like if you can tell if they're evil or nice you can tell there personality. Also try to take pictures when you think they're following you. Something might be there, like you might end up seing a girl in your photo that wasnt there before. When you think its gone you'll get a real feeling of peace a wonderful feeling in the air.
ghost can do alot to people- it just depends on how much energy that ghost has.ghost can fisically atack you
Yes there is a ghost in this world. It can be anywhere. Even right next to you.
They can do damage to you but they cant "kill" you because a ghost has strong energy that is able to push, cut, or hit a human.
Alternate:
No, they cannot hurt you; they do not exist. When we think we see or experience them, they are really a little like nightmares that intrude into our waking lives for a few moments. And nightmares are just eerie glimpses we get of the things about ourselves or about life that we really don't like. From that perspective we can think of them as angels; much more helpful than they are harmful, even if they are really annoying.
Why is Waverly hills sanatorium haunted?
It is said to be haunted because a lot of people died there and suffered because the patients would go through really painful treatments for tuberculosis.
What does 'I hear and I forget I see and I remember I do and I understand' mean?
It means that actions are more important than words, some one can say a million things and you will forget them if their actions dont prove/show their words, and based on that you act a certain way and you understand it. What someone does you will remember, because those are actions, actions are real, words are not always real/true they could be lies. This saying highlights the fact that many people learn a new skill or fact poorly if it is only heard. You learn and remember a little better when seeing the fact or a demonstration of how to do something, but the best learning of all comes from 'hands on' experience...actually getting and doing the thing you wish to learn. Many people learn this way, but others may learn best in a visual or aural way, as recent research into learning styles shows.
A lot of people have seen ghosts (or they say they have). It really just depends on what you believe. I know there is ghost hunter shows. So if you go around asking people if they have seen ghosts, then you will get all different answers because some people just don't believe in that stuff.
Wichcraft is something people bliven doing they like to call out sprits and play with wigge boreds
hello,
New ghost stories and paranormal related articles are added nearly every day! Most stories have active comments and people from all over the world sharing their experiences, opinions and ideas about the paranormal world.
Stories of ghosts, the paranormal and unexplained that readers swear are true.People are often excited about contacting the spiritual world. However, if you are referring to summoning spirits, the best advice I can give you is "stay away from this!" It could give you problems that will literally haunt you for many years. Contacting familiar spirits (so called ), is very dangerous and in time always has a negative affect. Build up your will power and just stay away from these kinds of things and do not leave yourself open to it....Believe me!
==new answer== The best and sure way of attracting ghosts is to keep your head buried in the sand, to always think and believe that what you get through the five senses is all there is, that all there is to you is the physical body, to just go about working and having fun and this is the whole of your existence, in other words-serve mammon. Ghosts are those entities stuck in the emotional level of consciousness after withdrawing from the physical existence because they were so attached to the physical existence, they think they still have a body and like to be around people with the attitudes I have described.
To explore the inner levels of mind requires much study and effort with a qualified teacher, such as the ones at The School of Metaphysics @ SOM.org.
It is impossible, unless you are a mutant, which you aren't.
Is there a reason why spirits appear to us?
A ghost will show themselves for multiple reasons. One of the main reasons is to ask for help. They often need assistance and need a mortals assistance to perform a task needed for them to pass on. They could also be a family member wanting to say goodbye before passing on. A spirit will almost never attack a human and often just need help.
-----------------------------------------------------
Zippyo is abosolutely correct.
Ghosts are a paranormal state, the soul or spirit of someone who has died, who can't "pass over" , for some reason. Either they left something very special that they are protecting, or they haven't gotten to the state where they choose Heaven or Hell.
---------------------
A ghost is the supposed spirit of somebody who has died, believed to appear as a shadowy form or to cause sounds, the movement of objects, or a frightening atmosphere in a certain place. Or someone who has died before their expiration date and their spiritual form has not found peace, so it still walks the earth.
-----------------------
A ghost is an alleged non-corporeal manifestation of a dead person (or, rarely, an animal or vehicle). It is often thought to be a manifestation of the spirit or soul of a person which has remained on Earth after death. According to some beliefs, a ghost may be the personality of a person after his or her death, and not tied directly to the soul or spirit. Every culture in the world carries stories about ghosts, but they vary across time and place, with disagreements both as to what ghosts are and whether they are just figments of imagination or a part of reality.
-----------------------
A Ghost is a Dead person that didn't move on. Some say they have unfinished business.
---------------------
It is said by some ancient Eastern religions that we have 3 bodies or "coverings"; a gross physical body, a luminous subtle astral body, and an even more subtle casual body.
When a sentient being dies, it looses its gross physical body. The subtle astral body and casual body are left. What we are seeing as a "ghost" is the subtle astral body which is still present. The casual body is much harder to see.
Since we are used to inhabiting the gross physical body, we see the astral body as less real and more ethereal. However, if we happen to lose our physical body, as in death, the astral body would seem more real.
-----------------------
A ghost is a spirit who isn't using or inhabiting a physical body. -----------------
A ghost is potentially the result of a person who has passed away, and their cognitive and subconscious mind has been shared with others throughout their lives. When they passed, certain physical references trigger the prominence of that deceased person's thought in the living. That is why ghosts can not be photographed reliably; they exist within our minds.
-------------------------------
Ghosts are supposedly the manifestation of the souls of the dead in the realm of the living. Often events for which there is no ready explanation are attributed to ghosts (strange sights/noises, technical interference with cameras and the like). And though almost all cultures have the concept of ghosts, there has never been any sound evidence of their existence.
-------------------------------
Ghosts are paranormal spirits that sometimes can't find their way home or still have a deed to accomplish. There are 3 types of ghosts, poltergeist, residual, and intelligent (sorry for the spelling). Poltergeists are ghosts that either, got sent back from Hell or didn't want to give up torturing people, residual spirits are ones that play over like a tape recorder. Intelligent are the ones who touch people, whisper, or move things.
--------------------------
Ghosts are imaginary forms people create, to be able to handle grief, or to draw attention to themselves, or even to make money out of people's hopes that their loved ones aren't just gone forever.. which of course they are.
----------------------------
They won't harm you - they just need help from us because they couldn't go to heaven.
An Additional Point Many people have been saying that they can't hurt you or they are imaginary, but they can hurt you and there have been many reports. And I wouldn't say ghosts, I would say "spirits" It's a much better term for them and really they are spirits that are trapped on earth. There are also poltergeists, demons, etc. These are the unfriendly things that can harm you. The official definition for the word ghost is "an apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living, typically as a nebulous image."
How do you get over your fear of ghosts?
You should think practically and logically and make yourself believe that there is no such thing as a ghost. Make your mind strong on this belief and on science.
Ghosts are one's imagination and psychology combined with everyday incidents and stories that make us believe that "Yes! There must be a ghost behind it!". But it is actually the work of your subconcious mind which is difficult to fanthom.

They become killers because of a very bad and shocking thing that happened to them. A man in India became a outlaw just because his brother a M.B.A graduate was killed wrongly by the police. The brother now killed police and government workers in revenge.
