Do you believe in ghosts or similar paranormal entities?

No, because there is no proof.

I don't see how there can be a life after death, I would love to be proved wrong but I think humans have wanted something after life so bad they created religion to mask the fact that they will be nothing someday and to create a false hope within themselves of a "Heaven" they will go to when they die.

Nope. Not at all. There's nothing that indicates to me that anything exists after this life.

I believe in ghosts I guess. Not the bullshit ghost hunter stuff on tv but I believe places can hold the energy of things that happened there. Anyone whos ever been in a concentration camp will get what I'm saying. 
 
Also theres a pub near me thats one of the most haunted places in Ireland. The walls once bled

NO! 
 
I can't turn on the TV without seeing some type of AD for a "Ghost Hunter" show. (i.e good editing works wonders!) People are gullible enough so I can't blame them for making em'

No.

God exists 
he's a bored prick who plays with us like we play with the sims 
 
he can create aliens or ghosts ON THE SPOT when he feels like it, scare someone/drive them nuts then delete that ghost file from existence 

Nope.  Yet to see any instance of a mind existing without a brain (or a brain analogue).

 I suppose it depends.  I don't believe in the common concepts of psychic powers, ghosts, etc.   
  
This kinda stuff bugs me.   
 

Hm, well, I have bad nightmares and the THOUGHT of ghosts/spirits scare the shit out of me, but I wouldn't say I actually believe in them. 
 
But mirrors give me the mad heebie-jeebies all the same.

" But mirrors give me the mad heebie-jeebies all the same. "

I believe in energy residue. Call it 'ghosts' if you may. Only those who have experienced psychic/paranormal events will acknowledge this subject matter anyway.
 
I am a grown 24 year old man and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that people leave some sort of energy behind when they die. 
 
....however, the idea of spirits/ghosts wandering around and still actively seeking help/companionship  is completely fucking retarded. I do not believe in life after death for the record. I only believe that we leave some sort of residue behind (and no, I am not just talking about our rotting corpses lol)
 
Oh btw - people who respond to this thread quite negatively are scared themselves yet believe it to be funny to make other people feel as uneasy as they do about their future. Just saying.

Wow, types like you who think they know everything about everybody annoy me to no end.  Maybe they're responding negatively because they just don't take this seriously and not because they're scared. "

Consciousness is the result of the brain.

No brain. No you.

Not a bit. I don't even I think I need to explain why.

I'm skeptical about it, but I'm leaning towards the "I don't believe it until I experience it myself" side. What I don't believe are the people who claimed to experience this kind of things, but it's not that I think they're telling lies, it is just that fear could affect people's perceptions, of course not all of them are the same type of people who are seeing things because they're extremely afraid, there are exceptions and I leave room for other possibilities, but so far I think it has more to do with psychology more than super natural stuff.

To make it simple, what I think is when a person sees a ghost, it is a by product of their subconsciousness fucking with them, that is why you get hypnopompic or hypnagogic hallucinations, and out of body experiences during sleep paralysis, but there are cases where people sees strangers they claimed they haven't seen before, and there were history of such person existing, those are a bit more interesting, but there are explanations to those (person sees photos but forgot about it, heard about their features but they're not aware of it etc.), I do think it might be possible and there're other explanations, but I remain skeptical until I could experience such a thing (I get a lot sleep paralysis myself and I think a lot of things I see in that state is bullshit that is nothing but hallucinations, but I've never hallucinated when I'm fully awake)

What do you mean by energy? And how does it manifest itself in a way that is detectable to the living?"

Nope, not scared at all. In fact, the day I stopped believing in this kind of stuff was one of the most liberating days of my life. "

No evidence? No deal.

Not really, although if someone asked me to come and mess around with a Ouija board I'd pass just incase. =P

While i do believe in paranormal stuff, most if not all the people on tv are full of shit and never deliver the goods.Chasing dust, pollen, and bugs around with a camcorder is not proof of ghosts.

I don't have a definitive stance on ghosts, but I find the whole idea REALLY fascinating.

Life's way more fun if you believe in such things, but if ya ask me, nah...they don't exist.
Fiction about ghosts and even the "studies" of paranormal activity is still entertaining though.

Yes, and I have experienced it myself.

  Ghost are spirits who died an unclean death and wasn't allowed in heaven due to hostility. However sometimes ghost will visit you, they are demons. They can impersonate the dead, that's the interesting thing. Ufos are demonic phenomenons, not space craft. There is a devil and he has alot of fallen angels, he was kicked on earth like the bible said.  
 
Of course I am not telling to belive my tin foil theory, it's just during my research into the illuminati, occult and paranormal i've discovered these things on youtube and I find it fasinating.  
 
Lady gaga said when she was doing alot of drugs and nearly gave up, a spirit of her dead relative, around her age said she will help lady gaga. A ghost in her sleep, she then changed because you see demonic freemasonary symbols everywhere in her videos.  
 
Oh right here is a video as my evidence, remember, I have no proof beyond a shadow of a doubt, however I have evidence to support my theories.  
 

No. 

I've researched a lot of reports and theories on paranormal activity and I don't believe in ghosts or anything of the like. I've seen things on television that I'd find hard to explain and I've thought I've seen rather distinguished shapes out of the corner of my eye but I've seen a lot more evidence against the existence of ghosts and spirits than I have seen for it.

" No, because there is no proof. "

No, I am not crazy.

I'm not sure, but anything's possible.

Nope. Not at all. I believe in aliens, though.
