My wife is watching The Travel Channel and some show is on about haunted places...Gets me to thinking about my own personal experiences....I don't care what anyone else thinks but I believe that ghosts are a part of our daily lives...I think that some folks can sense them. I also think that ghosts make themselves seen by those that are willing to believe....I'm a passive believer... I've been to the Alamo a bunch of times and I can tell you...That place is haunted in spades...Not so much in the mission itself,but on the grounds,under the oak trees.... I had someone whisper in my ear once...That wasn't there...And I was sober...  ...I believe...

It's hard for me to talk about that stuff. I had something happen one time. My wife was there. A dear friend had been buried earlier that day. It wasn't scary at all, but I believe.

The Bible says that there definitely are things that go bump in the night...but they're not dead people. It says that there is no contact, NONE, between the living and the dead. Satan and his minions, however, are alive and well. He does his best work in civilized places by making people think he doesn't exist. But, talk to missionaries who've spent a few years in backwoods, third world places. Some of them can tell some stories that'll keep your lights on all night every night.

I stand corrected. I just spoke to my wife about the incident for the first time in sixteen years. It was the night we brought our first child home...he was named after my partner. I won't elaborate.

Hey
I ran one over mowed him right down. I was in High school and me and a friend was coming from the race track in New Culberland WVa. it was about 12:30 am and we were heading south to Weirton and right before the creek in NC before the bridge about 100 yards this old person was standing along the road. He looked at us I saw his face that kinda glowed he had white hair and a ZZ top beard gray suit white shirt and these boots that looked untied. About 30 feet before We got to him he stepped out in front of the car looked at us smiled and I hit him square. He went half way into our hood and disappeared. Of course I hit my brakes and I kept on going. We went half way home and did not say any thing to each other. Then Frank said to me did you see that, I said what, You Know, no I dont know. Then he described the same as I just told you. I personally think that the old guy was just funnen us. He did look like he came from the 1800's.
This happened in summer of 1972

Bart...not painful at all. I just never believed in that stuff, and I still think that almost all people that talk about it are STONE COLD CRAZY. Our incident was actually very pleasant...just unbelievable. I don't talk about it because it was a very private experience and I know that if someone was telling the same story to me, I'd say they were STONE COLD CRAZY. Glad you did...Thanks Pard

Dick Dick, I'm with you 100%. No such things as "ghosts," that is, spirits of the deceased. But demons can take on all sorts of forms and can interact with us and with things in this world. Best to leave them alone. Remember, Satan is a liar... and if he chooses, can even appear as an angel of light. Penny

Is that correct?

If I'm wrong, then God's wrong. He said it, not me.
Yes, people have seen some strange things, but they're not seeing dead relatives, etc. They're seeing demons who are rebellious angels that were thrown out of heaven along with Satan. They have tremendous power, at least compared to men, and they can take on any appearance.

"No such things as ghosts"...
Is that correct? It depends on what you mean by "ghosts." As Dick said, the Bible clearly states that there is no way for the dead to have contact with the living. If you accept that, then things that we believe to be the spirits of those who have passed on, cannot be. If they cannot be, what are these things we call "ghosts?" I believe that they are demons taking on ghostly (or other) shapes. But as many are fond of saying, YMMV. I'm simply expressing what I believe to be true. No dog in this fight (if a fight develops).

Hey
Penny and Dick I am with you 150% I believe that it was a demond that was pulling me away from my beliefs. I thought it was a true but amusing story.
