My grandma (mom's MIL) moved in with us when I was still in middle school. A few days after she moved in my mom saw her FIL (grandma's hubby) in my grandma's room looking at a photo of them on their wedding day.
He had been dead for about a year.
So, yea. I'll bite on a ghost story every now and then.
I've never heard of either of those shows, maybe we don't get them up here.
I wouldn't say I do or don't believe in ghosts. I cannot say I've ever felt like I've encountered one, but it's not something I would totally through out the window as being totally ludacis. According to the in-laws, our apartment has a ghost in it that most tenants see. We've been there for 4 months and I cannot say I've had anything strange happen that would make me think this was true.
I say I don't believe in ghosts, but that's because they scare me. So I figure if I don't believe in them, I can't get scared if I ever saw one. lol Wierd thinking I know.
I've never seen a ghost. They do scare me though. During Christmas I took TONS of pics with my dig camera. In almost every one there were "orbs" It took me a while to walk through the house in the dark after that lol.
"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
That about sums it up for me. If someone were to definitively prove there are ghosts, I would not be surprised. I have a good friend whose career is in the "ghost circuit." She works on those ghost hunting shows, she writes books on the subject. It's a good career and she loves it, but I am a skeptic. She has taken me on hunts and shown me reams of pictures with little floating orbs and such in them. I can't say that I've ever noticed the things they do on the hunts. They say I ruin them because my "energy" isn't right for good ghost sightings.
They say there is a pervasive energy left over in places of mass trauma, like concentration camps or battlefields. But I think that's us -- the living -- KNOWING that this place was a battlefield or a concentration camp. I could come upon a beautiful field and feel perfectly fine until I saw the sign that said a thousand union soldiers died here or etc.

So I'm sitting on the big ole fence on this one.

o.k. see that freaks me out. lol Which is why I tell myself I will not believe in ghosts.
