Default Anyone believe in Ghosts or Paranormal activities?

There seem to be so many TV shows on now a days pertaining to ghosts and such, makes one wonder what is out there beyond this plane of existence. I have not had any personal experiences. My girlfriend has had a few occurrences with apparitions and voices, things touching her at night while in bed and such. Her 16 year old daughter would see aura's around people, she said people in church had all white ones around them. Anyone else here experience or know of occurrences? I mean some people you just want to believe as they are friends who look you in the eye, or professionals like nurses who risk looking the part of a looney by speaking out, yet speak out they do.

Used to live in a nearly 200 year old house growing up. Once in HS, when parents went on vacation, in bed for the night I heard "someone" walk up the stairs, turn and walk down the hall towards my bedroom. It stopped about 15 feet down the hallway from my room. And yes I did hide under the covers! Later my older brother said the same thing had happened to him about 5 years earlier staying in the same room.

About a month after my dad passed, while driving to work someone ran a stop sign in front of me, I knew we were going to hit but just before we did it seemed "something" pushed the rear of the truck out of the way and it spun out. Maybe the driver cranked the wheel but it appeared more like it was pushed.

That's just a couple of my own experiences.

GF insist she's seen a farmer walking around her property, no farms in that area for years.

I fully believe in paranormal stuff.

Example one:

While in Tucson Az, Ronda and I went to visit my dad's grave. I had rented a 2011 Camaro SS while in Tucson. After much searching we could not find dad's plot so we went to the office.

I gave the lady dad's name and she told us to sit down as this would take a while.
She went in the back room where they have a huge filing system much like the old Library index cards. She came back in two seconds white a ghost.

"Was your dad expecting you?" she said. I told her well I do have a hot car outside and dad loved cars. THE DRAWER THAT DAD'S CARD WAS IN WAS OPEN AND HIS CARD WAS TURNED UP ON END!

I am now a believer also I often sense dad's presence in the car when I drive the Deuce

Cant say that I do, as I've never had any kind of experience or anything. Well, actually this one time I woke up in the middle of the night and my whole bed was shaking for absolutely no reason...lasted about 30 seconds. So needless to say I was awake for awhile thinking there was a poltergeist or something lol. Went downstairs in the morning, and the news was on, the top story was "Overnight Earthquake Rattles Central Indiana"...... :/ hahahah!

now that you say zombies, I think that it's feasible that a virus could reanimate basic biologic functions of a dead human (such as the urge to eat), but what happens after like 3 months? the flesh is still dead, so it will start decomposing and bam! zombie apocalypse over.

The mind is very powerful. We have only begun to understand and learn to control the energy it produces. Some believe that ghosts and paranormal experiences are a form of Tulpas - mental energy that has manifested and become its own entity. We are creatures of our own device...
