No, although I would not want to stay in a haunted house overnight. Weird, that. Why take chances, tempt fate, etc... Right? It's like the "Ark Of The Covenant"... I am a bit skeptical about some of what is written in historical texts... But, EVERY description of it, references that it was a weapon, and when it was used, people always died when they were near it.... If it were ever found, I would certainly do everything I could to be as far away from it as I could, when it is opened, just in case it were all true... I really don't want to have my face melted... I'll let the die hard non believers who say "It's Complete BS" that will still open it up, suffer that fate.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, but I don't believe ghosts (or souls) of those who have long died linger among the living. More often than not, it's just demonic activity.

No such thing as Ghosts?
For decades now, scientists & skeptics have yet to come up with reasonable explanations for these particular things on that list...
2.) Feeling a sudden and inexplicable change in temperature...
Cold "Spots" During The Summer Time?
Seriously, please let me know how I can suddenly freeze my home during the dog days of Summer! I really want to know, because my air conditioner is working too hard, because it's just too hot out, and the house just isn't cool enough to even create COOL SPOTS!
3.) Household objects mysteriously disappearing and then reappearing in different places...
What... Do these objects just get up and move by themselves?
And don't give me that BS about how someone may misplace an object, when that that particular object has a particular place where it is stored...
For example: You find a loaf of bread sitting on your bed, when you always keep it in the kitchen...
You don't just "misplace" that!
6.) Frequent electrical problems such as lights inexplicably turning on or off...
"CLICK"...On goes the light.
TAPS from "Ghost Hunters" captured this happening on Video... OK, So how do we know, for sure, that TAPS didn't "fake" that...
But, how do you explain that, when it happens right in front of you, and you know it wasn't "faked"?... Light Switch Fairies?
7.) Feeling of being touched by unseen hands...
How about being forcefully being pushed, or something yanking on your long hair or loose clothing... Or objects being yanked out of your hands?
And what about claw mark scratches suddenly appearing on your skin?
But, that's right, we all just imagined it all and it never happened, because...
Skeptics know better, because "It's All BS", Right?

That is a complicated question to answer. On one hand, I believe that there are spirits that can haunt other things and/or people just by floating interdimensionally. But on the other, I never experienced one completely.
I'll say yes just because I have been noticing some weird sh!t lately to me and other family members (ie. things going missing for no apparent reason).

things going missing for no apparent reason). I assume you are not referring to something common, like: misplacing your car keys... But something more suspicious?

Well, mostly common, but they do happen to me quite a few times, like trying to find something that I put somewhere specifically, but it's no longer there.

I sort of hope they do, if for no other reason than that some people--naming no names--deserve to be haunted.

Many skeptics can be quite mean and insulting to those who truly believe in some kinds of a paranormal creatures and have been nearly frightened to death by their "experiences" with them... Sometimes, I too, wish that they would have a brief encounter with a scary being so that they can scream at them, "BUT, YOU DON"T EXIST!" "YOU DON"T EXIST!" "YOU DON"T EXIST!", WHILE they ending up losing control of their bodily functions and taking a dump in their pants. LOL! Not saying anyone has to believe...I just wish people would show a little more compassion... Because no one wants, to think that they are home alone and then turn a corner into a hallway and see a stranger standing there, even if it is just a hallucination... Being called crazy and stupid, doesn't help anyone.

I would say I don't know, but I have never been given any reason to believe they exist.
I'd need to experience it for myself in order to consider that they do exist.

I've stated this elsewhere, and it's something that, if you stop and REALLY think about, is very, VERY hard to logically refute..........ghosts ARE real, if for no other reason than the simple fact that if they are not, that means that all of the MILLIONS of people that have shared their accounts, encounters, and strange stories involving ghosts since the beginning of time are all FAKES, and each and every one of them are complete LIARS. Is it really possible that ALL of these people are involved in what would have to be one of the biggest conspiracies of all time, if it turned out that ghosts are NOT real, and that they were ALL just making up their stories of ghostly encounters, or simply mistaken in what they saw and/or heard ?? SAVE FERRISNo, no, no. They're not all liars or involved in a conspiracy. They're just all mistaken. There a is no PROOF of ghosts. You cant believe in something without proof of it. There's no story I've ever heard about ghosts that cant be disproven with simple logic, deduction, and scientific methods.
Let me give you just one example: Some people claim that what's in this picture is proof of ghosts-
You know what it's really proof of?
That's all! Dust particles in the air! Not the presence of ghosts!
Its not hard to logically refute at all! In fact its quite the reverse. You don't approach a problem by refuting it. You approach a problem by proving it, or not. Now go prove to me that ghosts DO exist. Go on. I'll wait...
A lot of people believing something doesn't prove anything or make it real. People once believed the Earth was flat my friend. That dumb shit really happened! And it was a world wide belief! Do I have to refute that?
(Then of course there are the people who ARE lying; usually for some sort of gain. But that's another story.)

My responses in bold.
1.) Feeling of being watched when alone Paranoia
2.) Feeling a sudden and inexplicable change in temperature or a sudden static/electrical charge in the air Hot flashes, actual warm/cold hot spots in your home
3.) Household objects mysteriously disappearing and then reappearing in different places someone in your home doesn't like to put things back where they belong
4.) Hearing unexplained whispers, footsteps, thuds or someone calling your name you're sleepy or tired or crazy, or your home carries noises from outside really well
5.) Seeing shadows or movements out the corner of your eye you're sleepy or tired or crazy, or your vision needs checking
6.) Frequent electrical problems such as lights inexplicably turning on or off, or appliances not working or acting up your house has electrical issues
7.) Feeling of being touched by unseen hands you're sleepy or tired or crazy 8.) Unusual smells such as unexplained perfume scents, flowers, cigars, cigarettes, food or even the stench of death and decay
you're sleepy or tired or crazy, or your home has dead mouse in the wall
9.) Waking up unexpectedly between 3am and 4am and sensing dread, fear or feeling like you're being watched again, paranoia
10.) Feeling of grief or sadness in specific rooms or areas of the house memories resurfacing or you're sleepy or tired or crazy
NONE of those things is proof of anything supernatural. And for each of them I've given you perfectly sane, rational, logical and PROVABLE reasons why those things might be. But you choose to believe something supernatural before you choose to believe something perfectly believable and logical? WTF? LOL

I’d like there to be, but I’m agnostic on it. On the other hand, I can’t quite say “no”… Gah. This question always gets to me. At the risk of repetitiveness, here are my two “ghost stories”—the only two possibly supernatural events that have ever happened to me (I’m leaving out the time my mother and I had the same dream 40 years apart, or things like precognition—those don’t involve ghosts, or possible ghosts):
Attempts at debunking are more than welcome (as long as it’s not “your dad is lying.” He resolutely does not believe in anything supernatural and would not have started or kept up such a ruse).

Your pictures didn't come up. That's proof of ghosts!
EDIT: OH SHIT! Now one of them came up! That's definitely proof of ghosts!
