GHOSTS
Are ghosts real? Do hunting's really happen? What would you say or do if a ghost followed you around everywhere you went? Or even scary noises in the middle of the night when your about to fall asleep? Ever seen a ghost? Wondered if they were real or not? What about heaven? The after life? No one knows if ghosts are real or not. I guess it’s just what you believe…..

So, are ghosts real? Firstly, no one knows for sure. But I can tell you, that I believe in them. You might think ghosts are a load of lies and stories, but if there really is a heaven, then there should be ghosts. According to traditional belief, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person, taken to be capable of appearing in visible form. Some believe that it’s a soul or spirit trapped on earth that can’t find that path to heaven after they pass away. Others believe ghosts are the bodiless spirit of a dead person that appears before the living. But no one knows for sure if spirits or ghosts are real or not. But just as much as you might think their fake, they could be just as much as real.

People believe that all ghosts aren’t scary. That there are many different types of ghosts. Some are peaceful and don’t want to harm anyone. While others can be nasty, vicious and want to haunt innocent people. But some ghost are believed to come back to get revenge on someone for what happened while on earth. Some believe they come back for “unfinished business ”. But it’s not just they way they behave. But also what they look like. Big, small, large, tall skinny. Even children, adults and old people. Some ghosts are just letting you know that they are there. If you have ever had a close family member or friend pass away, they could be trying to visit you. Thousands of sightings of ghosts have been reported all around the world but some have logical explanations to why paranormal thing have happened. Others remain unsolved.
Just like the story about a middle aged woman seeing the ghost or spirit of a little girl who go killed 10 years ago in a truck accident. The little girl was asking for help, for her to tell her mother that she was ok and safe where she was. A spirit coming back for unfinished business? Was it a ghost? Or was it just a figment of her imagination? I don’t think so. This woman has seen many other spirits before, including this little girl more than once. So, what do you think? What about the story of a little girl believed to have an invisible friend that had tea parties with her? She claimed it was her “imaginary friend”, but when her mother came one time to check on her in her room, her mother knew she was real, though she couldn’t see her, but could clearly hear her talking to her daughter. She even checked to see if her daughter’s lips were moving, but no they weren’t. The little girl told her mum that her “friend” even pinched her in the night while she was trying to sleep. At first she thought she was making it up, but she had the red marks all over her body to prove it. So, peaceful, or nasty? Well, only you can decide if you believe.

So, as a result, well…. There is none. There. Is. No. Definite answer to weather ghost or spirits do really exist. I suppose it’s kind of good that we don’t have an answer; I mean It would be kind of scary if ghosts really do exist. But on the other hand… I think it would be awesome to be able to communicate with the dead. It would be pretty cool to be psychic. Yeah, you might think that ghosts are a load of lies and stories, but you never know, they could be true. I’m not telling you to believe in them, I’m just giving you a good reason to. Like I said, I guess it’s just what you believe….
