What is it about ghosts and spirits that intregues you?

Question

I have been doing this for long time and it getsbetter all the time. The more evedence we find in my group, the more fascinating this all gets. I am addicted to the thought that there IS exsistance of paranormal. There really are ghosts. There is no doubt anymore. It is world knowledge that they are here. If they are here, then there really is life after death. Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Anyway, that is my thoughts. What are yours?

Answer 1

Though I disagree that we can conclude that spirits exist, I like the historical aspect of some of the more well known purported ghost hauntings. I'm also intrigued by the psychological/science aspect it of all, i.e., why and how do people come to the conclusions that they do concerning the supernatural and how do they investigate it.

Answer 2

Honestly I don't know.

Maybe it's just the pure fascination of learning and exploring the unknown.

I am a big history buff and I get to learn more about the past thru these experiences.

Heck, for all I know it could be the adrenaline rush I get when I find something that we can't explain away.

All I know is that I truly enjoy it and it fascinates me beyond everything(except my kids). So I just keep doing it and learning more and more each day.

Answer 3

It comforts me to know that God sends an angel to come and get you at the time of your expiration. A lil girl with blue eyes and long blonde hair was called by God to do an important job. Some may call her the grim reaper, or the angel of death. But my father saw her the night before he died. It was very creepy that night 28 years ago.

Answer 4

Life feels unfinished to me. I'm young but you would think that after 16 years of living I would be somewhere closer to understanding my meaning.

It's like life is a game. No one knows the rules or how you win. We keep adding new players everyday but no one has ever reached level 2.

I find ghosts and spirits fascinating because it means life after death which proves that there is something more out there for humanity.

Answer 5

I also believe .I have had experiences all my life from age 12,Sometimes i get a flash if my mind and i can pass on a message to that person i was thinking about.All ghosts dont manifest themselves,many use a subtle way to let you know they are with you such as smell ie perfume,move objects etc.,all people are born with this ability,but unless used it fades,but can be restored as yours is being.

Answer 6

The intregue is that there is so much that is unknown, even by science, and yet millions of people have unexplainable incidents.  Until the early nineteenth century, people of science believed that illness was caused by poisoned blood, and they felt the best way to treat illness as to bleed the patient out.  This process even cost George Washington his life.  Other scientists, like Louis Pasteur hypothesized that it was not poisoned blood that caused illness, but nearly invisible organisms called germs, and that it was the blood itself that fought the germs, not poison people.  These ideas did not make Pasteur a popular man.  It wasn't until the invention of the microscope that Pasteur was proven correct.

Modern ghost hunting is in a similar predicament.  It is getting close to proving something that outsiders scoff at, and just needs a leap in technology to get it over the hump and proving something that could change people's lives.

Answer 7

My own personal opinion is that if we can exist on this earth so can spirits.  I have had a few things happen to me after my grandfather passed away.  The phone would ring and when *69 it would be a number from 2 hrs prior.  The first Superbowl after he passed my cell would not work during the game but it would go off on its own showing a bunch of 4s which were his initials.  I took a picture one time of a baby's onsie and in the camera and picture is the face of a baby.    So I am a definate believer.

Answer 8

I think just the possibility of there actually being a worm hole in time and that communication with some from the past would be interesting.

Especially if one were investigating family property that was haunted........you might see your great-great-great grandfather.

An encounter like that would be an awesome account to leave with your future legacy.

Answer 9

For me I guess it would be personal experience. Ever since I was little I've been contacted by various spirits. I've even seen the spirits that have attached themselves to other people both good and evil ones. I've been physically attacked in the middle of the night by them sometimes I've even awaken with bruises. I don't know the more I find out about the spiritual world the better I am able to cope with what happens to me. I once lived in a haunted house and it seems that sometimes every ghost within a 15 mile radius just comes to me no matter where I am. I've had dreams about the future that have come true and when it comes to the past its like sometimes when I'm asleep certain spirits put their past memories into my dreams. That might not make sense to you but yeah. Learning about them helps me cope. But if you have any advice as to what to do about my situation please let me know. Oh and I'm 21 so that whole thing about only kids being able to see things is c**p because I thought it would go away and it didn't.

Answer 10

Since it started happening to me...it was very exciting and fascinating. They seemed to guide me and help me. I liked that. It was like having really special friends...who chose me to be friends with . I don't know why I thought they were any more special than people on earth. Maybe I thought they were angels. I don't know if I had any long term relationships with people who had died that I knew.I think I just thought of them as messengers from God.It was important to me to follow God and do His will. I wanted to be at the right place at the right time and say the right thing to the right person and do the right thing...to accomplish what God wanted me to accomplish. Seems like the opposite happened.

PS...It's "intrigues"...my spell check works! lol

Answer 11

I love the thrill I get, but I hate the feelings i get at night.  I love to hear my friends' sightings and research them.  Then I love the relieved look they get when they hear it was just an animal, even if it was a bobcat!  Then the thrill of the hunt and fear if it is unexplainible.

Answer 12

I've always found it fascinating.  I can't really say why, except fear of the unknown is exciting and an adrenaline rush at the same time.

The more I find out about dark matter, it seems to explain the spirit world.  Its like a whole other dimension that's right here with us.  Why can't there be life forms there, and why can't they cross over from time to time?  Science will prove it one day.  But for now, its probably stuff we're not ready for just  yet.

Answer 13

For me, I have an ability to sense & somewhat communciate.  I guess I have always had this Curse.  For many, MANY, years I could not figure out what was going on or how to deal with it.

After talking to a few close friends, I decided to study more into the subject & research all the info I could.

It is only now in my older years that I am begining to accept that there is life after death & spirits & so on.  Since I have been taught this thru my religion.

I don't run from any experiences anymore, but more like embrace them, study them & learn from them.
