Why are a lot of people in denial about ghosts?

Question

People can see or hear the strangest things like a door slam and they know no one else is in the house and the windows just happen 2 be closed they'll still make up an explanation for it.

Answer 1

They just wanna make themselves feel better by disclaiming the facts.

We'll see how their reactions are when they witness such thing face-to-face. This time, I doubt that they can think up of any excuses or deny the truth seen by their own eyes.  

Answer 2

Probably because sometimes its easier to come up with an explanation for abnormal things it makes us feel safer. And usually these explanations are right. It would take a lot for me to believe in a ghost.  

Answer 3

Simply because they don't wish to look stupid in the eyes of other non believers........... They are the kind of people that worries about what other think of them and most of them do not have their own identify yet..

Answer 4

I don't get it, isn't blaming ghosts just "making up an explanation for it" too?

Answer 5

I do not believe in ghost, how am I in denial?  You think because I have no belief in ghost that I am in denial?  You should of asked this question differently.  Perhaps "Why do most people refuse to believe in ghost?", would of worked better than accusing everyone of being in denial.

Answer 6

people dont like things they dont understand so they just say its not real

Answer 7

They are not created to consider such things.

Answer 8

They don't believe in spirits.

they don't want to believe.

but u no they say if u do believe..u won't c them

but if u don't believe..u will c them

most ppl like that don't believe in God

Answer 9

Pressure in houses cause doors to close by themselves.  And the complete lack of evidence also helps the anti-ghost propaganda.

Answer 10

probably because it never happens to them and there is no proof of the existance of ghosts.....actually, that makes perfect sense.  

Answer 11

There is no such thing, they are demons.  Once, the dead is gone, they can't come back.

Answer 12

Because there is no logical evidence for them. They don't make any sense! And just so you know, those of us who have some common sense think you are all as ridiculous as you think we are.

Answer 13

Ghost is the one thing the World has in commen. every Religion, every Mythology and every Country in the World has some kind of ghost stories in it. it's just not ever person believes in them. some people will not believe in what they not see or understand.

Answer 14

I have been a Paranormal Investigator for many years. Its been my experience that people who vehemently deny the existence of ghosts do so because they are simply afraid of them. Their thinking is: If I don't believe, I won't see one and I won't get scared at night". It's mostly men who feel like this. Women are more practical.

Answer 15

I always try to find the most logical explanation for something unordinary before i start saying my house is haunted

so far no ghosts

Answer 16

Rather than relying on some other persons opinion or waiting for some one else to find evidence for me that ghosts exist or do not exist, I went looking for myself.  That was in 2005.  What I discovered is that something is out there.  Something talks to you on EVP.  Something sometimes appears in a picture that you can not explain.  Sometimes doors do slam for no logical reason.  Cupboard doors open. Sometimes you set your car keys down in the kitchen table, turn to put the milk away, and when you turn back around, your keys are gone.  You find them later in your bedroom, on the dresser.  You never went in there until then and no one was home but you.  (This is called borrowing) I found that strange things do happen.  Something is out there.  I know this because I bothered to go look myself instead of going by what someone else says.  If you have never looked for yourself, then you don't have a leg to stand on because you just don't know.

Answer 17

BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXISTS EXCEPT IN KIDDIES' CARTOONS! Do I make myself clear? RIDICULOUS!

P.D.: Bring me Casper and Adolf Hitler ghosts and I will "believe" you. I still say about ghosts is this: PHONY BALONY!!!! Now, seriously: the large number of ridiculous superstitious people in this USA. Amazing! No wonder we can't get any respect from some foreign nations. As we believe in ridiculous things that have no evidence for existence, they will treat us ridiculously with contempt. A book I will recomend many readers: "The Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan, late astronomer and scientist.

Answer 18

Close mindedness.  Its sad isnt it.  Those kind of people always try to make up an excuse even though you know that they know the truth.
