No such thing.  Used to scare little kids into doing the right thing.  Myth started years ago when people did not know about God.

Answer 2

Prepare for a long drawn out post, but this is my honesty of what I think about ghosts and experiences I and others have had. By the way, be brave and look at this with an unbiased approach and take no offence to it.

I used to believe in ghosts because of strong encounters I have had with things that could not be seen. The thing is, the encounters that I have had are probably some of the encounters alot of people across the world have had that seem very very believable and legit when being told, and being there at the exact moment experiencing it. The thing is though, I have debunked my own experiences with the help of science. No don't think I am going to steer right off topic and shamelessly plug science, but let me just say that Alot of people who believe in the paranormal and religion hate the word 'Science'. But I love it because it has absolutely changed my life. I used to be a believer(religion) and I also used to be 100% sure ghosts existed on our planet. Now I am the complete opposite because of science. Thats all I want to say about it.

I am not going to really tell my 'ghost' stories, because they are the same old generic ghost stories. I can say that, when it happened at the time. It was absolutely terrifying and life changing. When it happened I became religious because I actually thought 'hey...maybe there really is a heaven, purgatory and h**l. I better start getting close to god, because I don't want to end up in the 2nd one and DEFINITELY not the third one.' But to be honest with you. After studying science and watching religious debates between very smart people who are atheists and believers I have changed alot. Its amazing what you can answer when you really look at things from an unbiased and reasonable position.

I really think that it is all in our heads man. We grow up listening and watching mythical stories from times when human beings weren't very advanced. We watch horror movies over and over again about Ghosts, Devils and Gods. And because of a strong Religious tradition in the human race, we assume that these 'ghosts devils and gods' are legit and real. Its an ongoing process century after century in all walks of life. So when you go in your basement late at night and something slams when no one is home. Like a door...you automatically get creeped out and think the worst. And by worst, you should be thinking a burglar or something, but no. By worst we think it is damned ghost. Of coarse we do. In the back of our minds after being fed all this mythical cr@p on TV and in books for years, that is what we automatically think... And religion solidifies it because religion makes you believe there is an afterlife, angels demons ghosts and all sorts of stuff when all types of religions have no scientific evidence at all besides A BOOK. It is amazing what a big long old book can do to a race of beings isn't it? So...these experiences have happened to me and I was able to debunk them. Most of the occurrences were caused by weather, animals, other human beings and poor structures(creaking floors etc.) Its just that in the heat of the moment you get scared and assumed the worst right? You just got to really look at it man. Science has really improved my life. I used to be a strong believe and be terrifyed to be alone in my very old home, or go out in the woods alone in the dark etc etc..basically any creepy place that would be a 'ghost haven' in a believers eyes. Now, I go in my 'creepy' basement in pitch black darkness, walk my dog in the woods at night and can go anywhere without feeling a tiny bit of fear. Even with all types of noises happening around me that I can't see with no human life in site. Its amazing what science does bro. It really makes you in tune with your surroundings. You are one with the earth man for real. Look into it.

Sorry for the long drawn out post.

My grandma did. Back in Mexico when she was young, at night, there would be a spirit knocking on the door. And she would go and open the door and no one was there, but the door all the way accross would be knocked. She would go over there and no one, and it would be on the other side now. And one day, my grandma and her mom were talking, and her mom was telling her it was a spirit, and my grandma was all skeptical. So my grandma told her that the next time they knocked, she should cuss em out and say, "if your from this world, enter. But if your not, go back to your f****** b***** of a mother!" And that night, they knocked... And then my grandma said what she was told to say, and she was THROWN ALL THE WAY ACCROSS AND WAS KNOCKED OUT! No joke! Hella people gonna say its BS, but it really aint. But i aint tryin to prove nutin tho... so i dont really care if people belive me or not...

Another encounter was with my aunt. She woke up at like 3 am and she saw a figure sitting down. And she went up to it, and thought it was her father, and she moved his sombrero up, and she saw eyes jus levitating in there, but no face. She ran so scared to her parents room that she crapped her pants! no joke! Those are 2 ghost stories i have... lol.

Answer 5

I have been working on missing persons cases for a few months now.  As a ghost hunter a lot of crazy things have happened to me, but one night I actually had one at my house.  I was talking to a friend on the phone about one of the cases we were working on.  My husband was in our room watching TV.  I was in our computer room.  All of a sudden, I heard that loud white noise sound the TV makes when you are on a channel that is not recieving anything.  I thought that my husband had fallen asleep and accidently hit the off button on the remote.  This went on for about two minutes.  It was really starting to annoy me and I went into the hall way where I bumped into my husband who was coming out to yell at me for messing with the TV in the living room.  We quickly realized something was going on.  I started toward the living room and by the time I got in there, the sound had stopped.  As far as I could tell, the TV had never been on.  My husband and I returned to our respective rooms and like one minute later, it happened again.  I nearly ran into the livingroom, but again the sound stopped.   The third time it did it sent me into the living room to look for the remote that I was sure one of our dogs had to be chewing on.  I found the remote in the computer room, where I had been.  I tried to turn on the TV from there with the remote.  Nothing.  Besides, we have Dish network and even when it is off, no white noise sound comes from our TV.  Something was playing with us.  I do not have an explanation for that event.  I think it was way cool though and I like that they try to communicate with me, even at home.  Like I said, something is out there.
