Yes, they are very real... Unfortunately most people do not believe because they haven't experienced things such as I have. They think that because they cannot see or feel them that they are not there. I think children are the most open to spirits, hence having 'Invisible Friends'. Their minds are so open until they are told repeatedly that there is no such thing as ghosts, etc. I know of several friends who have experienced things as well. An old friend of mine had a Grandfather who lived in an old house where civil war soldiers lived at one time. He was afraid to stay there when he was little because he could never sleep since there was a 'man' in a civial war uniform who would come and stand angrily at the foot of his bed and then disappear down the hall.

I have been interested in ghosts since I was very young. I remember going to the library and getting tons of books on them. I wanted to learn as much as I could since we had one at home that was being annoying. I wanted to help him move on past this world that he got stuck in. I have posted my experiences in a previous thread a while back so I won't type it out again, but I will try to find it to link to it.

What kind of 'ghost'?


As a 'spirit', or that which makes a living person more than a sack of meat - then yes.

In the sense of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, then... I rather hope not.

In the form of David Bowie continuing to live among us as a pale shadow of his former self - yes.

As disembodied text against a light blue background... well, I'm still deciding.

You mean she is just a voice in my head. I thought there was a reason she sounded so logical. It must be that voice that says things like, "Don't set your hand on the stove it is going to hurt." I sure wish I listened to that voice more, but then my hand wouldn't be so cute.

Don't tell the witches they don't exist, it will harm their self esteem. :)

I thought wiccans are witches too, but that's is a different topic.

Ghosts, are they real? That's the poll question in this thread.

It's a good way to spot the noobies here. Everyone who's been in SL more than a few months KNOWS for a fact that ghosts exist... or at least... they used to.

Or something remarkably like a ghost. Out near the woods at night...last february. Something that looked like a man with antlers shambled toward me and then...disappeared.

I nearly made a mess in my pants.

hippies I won't laugh at


Man, hippies ARE NOT funny. My Mother always warned me to stay out of the woods because of the hippies. She never bothered to tell me what *they* were. Oh, the nightmares I've had. :eek:

Ghosts? Maybe. I'm not qualified to say.

But, please don't tell me the hippies are rioting! My bunker is not stocked with canned goods and my valuable baseball cards are still in my safe deposit box. How unprepared, I am! I never expected the hippies to take action so soon. :(

It's okay, their only weapon is peace (which is a really pathetic weapon if you ask me).

I've thought for a long time that the ultimate irony would be for rioters to be trained in anti-riot tactics and to dress up in anti-riot gear. What would the police do in response to being faced with an evenly matched opponent --where neither side is rioting, but both are trained in anti-riot tactics?

I think the world would implode.
