they make excuses up, it's happened to me, where my sister played the ouija board in my room, then my cat would wake me up about three each mornin meowing (im not kidding lol) and looking round the room like shes watching something, me and my sis thought it was pretty funny so we recorded her, when i played it back though there was a black thing she was following with her eyes and walking round following it.
It looked like if you were to tip food colouring or ink into a bath and watch it spread out, I have no explanation for this whatsoever, but I still dont really believe in ghosts

The thing is that people see something they can't explain and so rationalize the experience as ghostly or other-worldly. Usually, though, there is a perfectly rational and reasonable explanation for the experience, that has nothing to do with ghosts or aliens or whatever. Just because you don't know what's causing something, doesn't mean that it's ghosts.

People don't believe in ghosts because of society. Mediums exist but still if someone turns around and says they hear voices, they are immediately told to go to the doctors and seek medical attention. I'm not saying that all people are clairaudient. Unfortunately for some people they are experiencing mental problems. We are so used to science and the whole "seeing is believing" that, even if we do see something which can't be proved by science, we convince ourselves that it doesn't exist. Despite what we may be seeing and sensing thus, ignoring our own senses. It's only recently that we have started having mediums on television and shows where people go to haunted houses and film their experiences with the latest technology.

The world is very old and there are still many things in this world that have yet to be explained.

Well, I would have to see your video and get it analyzed. But if even if the video was real, it would still be an unexplained phenomena. Calling something a ghost when you have no explanation is just as close minded as you would say I am. But the whole point is moot, since if you actually had this video you would have posted it on you tube not asked about it on Yahoo answers.

General belief system of people, "If you can't see it, don't believe it".

I suppose that would include God or other deities of religions.



Also true story, when I was younger I had this toy frog that with 4 double A batteries would make croaking sounds if you flip the switch under it. One night I woke up, hearing it croak and I was gonna turn the switch off thinking my sister flipped the switch when I saw it had no batteries and was still croaking. It stopped after about 2 minutes...

My mother was very sensitive to psychic phenomenon but she would only tell me about her experiences after much coaxing. You should keep an open mind about spirits etc. and don't be afraid if they venture into your life. We never hear of 'ghosts' hurting anyone. Also, just because you can't see anything does not mean it does not exist. After all, before the discovery of electricity, no-one would have believed in it as you can't see that either !

There are no ghosts but there are demons(Djinns) and they are created from smokeless fire as we humans are created from earth. So this board thing could sometimes call demons but no ghosts and people who say they have actually seen ghosts are delusional. They have seen somethings but it sure as hell not ghosts.

We don't believe in ghosts because there's no credible evidence they exist.Sort of like gods.



I'm glad you don't believe in ghosts.

Excuses? No, I just ask for actual evidence not anecdotes.

Because their minds are programmed to be closed to that possibility.

There is no such thing as ghosts but you opened a door for the devil, you saw one of his imps.
