Do you believe in "spirits, or ghosts" ?
Just read an article on this. One time when I was about 25, living alone in an apartment. I awoke ( yes I was coherent) and sensed something I looked near the bedroom door and saw what appeared to be the shape of an older man. I could see his red flannel shirt, he had a tool belt around his waist like repaimen or plumber wear, the thing is I could see right through his body, He was just looking at me, I felt no fear or anything I blinked looked again and he was gone. Arrording to the article i read a high percentage of people have had atleast one encounter in their lives, have you?
OK .. I must admit I went ghosthunting last year in cemeteries late at night with a camera looking for orbs ... by around 10:30PM I got scared and sat in the car. And, I'm all grown up and was with my 82yr old friend. Talk about bizzare things you do in your life ? The best shot we got (sorry, no orbs) was that of a spider in a web late at night spinning its silk .. yep . it's mouth was open it was that up close and personal. I was more afraid of being arrested when we were just there taking photos .. harmless fun!

It's a topic that fascinates me, but I'd likely be freaked out of my mind if I saw or heard one. When I am in the mood for a sleepless night or few I do enjoy reading real life "true" ghost stories. A couple years ago I was reading stuff up about orbs, photos, audio clips ghost hunting stories, etc... Interesting stuff. I enjoyed it. Crypto zoology is very interesting as well. What worries me is that demons can also tie in with ghosts, etc... If I was to believe in ghosts how would I know the difference?
As far as believing goes, I don't know. My mom believes that there are real demons, etc... She gets terrible nightmares, feels evil stuff around her, etc when she is sleeping and alone at night. (Personally I believe it is sleep paralysis. I used to have very similar fears but once I understood what was going on, it seemed to take out most of the fear.)
A couple years ago I was reading stuff out about different "real" legends, paranormal stuff, etc and after having a good dose of that, I went to the bathroom late at night/early morning. I turned on the sink and all of a sudden the valve to the toilet burst and water started gushing all over the upstairs bathroom. I freaked out and woke up grandma. We got the water turned off and had it fixed. The timing was interesting. Either it was some kind of warning or just a coincidence. A very odd one indeed....
Another time (recently) I had a sleep paralysis episode and some man/thing was telling me that I have the ability to hear ghosts and sprits. I woke up to a _very_ realistic sounding mo-oo-oan. That scared me!

Yes i believe........
Absolutely I believe. I have seen both my dad and my grandmother at the old family farm. It makes sense, actually. They both loved the place so much, both were born there, lived there and are buried on the farm. I have seen them in the farmhouse, and elsewhere on the land. Its not scary, it actually is comforting to know that their spirits remain there and watch over the place and thier loved ones. It doesn't happen a lot, but I have seen them each maybe 3 or 4 times in the 43 years they have been gone.
jollyman, I know what you're saying and believe me, I agree with you 100%. I've seen evil upfront, too, and it's not a good feeling. But as a Christian, I believe we have the power of Christ on our side to overcome any evil. I believe there are angels and demons and they are just as real as you and me. The spirit world is just as real as our world as we know it.
My grandmother and mother had encounters with angels. It is very interesting. Just be careful not to dabble in something you don't understand, like Ouiji boards or other things because you may be inviting evil spirits around you. I've known people who had that happen and they were very sane people, trust me. I'm not afraid, though. I trust the Lord to take care of me and my family.
Oh, and the orbs I'm still trying to figure out. Some people think they're angels. I have a friend who swears she's seen them and taken pictures and I don't think she'd lie to me. I just don't know what to think about all of that.

I know all things are possible through Christ our Lord........
