I do not believe in ghost. I have never seen anything to make me thing or prove that they are real. Everyone was very gullible back in the day for tales and stories to believe in.

Caleb C

12/17/2019 10:39:28 am

Loon

I don’t believe in either because you can’t prove they’re real. They re,aim so provelant in stories because people like to speculate about anything.

Wylie

12/17/2019 10:37:57 am

I’m the same

Jacob

Cheyenne Ward

I do believe in ghosts but not the supernatural because sometimes things happen that we can explain or we see shadows. I think it remains in stories because it keeps people imagination alive to believe or think of what could be impossible.

Sydnee

12/17/2019 10:37:42 am

Nice

Destiny

12/17/2019 10:39:48 am

I totally agree

Taelyn

12/17/2019 10:37:26 am

I feel like they are real just because there’s s lot of stuff that happens that we can’t explain. I feel like it makes for a good story and that’s why they stay so consistent.

Jacob

12/17/2019 10:39:28 am

I agree with you on that.

Brayden

12/17/2019 10:41:58 am

I agree with you.

Destiny

12/17/2019 10:41:18 am

I completely agree.

Dylan

I do not believe in ghosts. I never believe in them. I think they remain so people can explain the unexplainable events they see or experience.

Caleb C

12/17/2019 10:38:02 am

I think that there are some things we cant explain that could be ghosts or something else. They remain prevalent because they give us comfort in having an answer for the unexplainable

Cheyenne

12/17/2019 10:40:18 am

I agree and have the same opinion or jut to keep they possibilities alive whether they are impossible or not.

Jacob

12/17/2019 10:38:10 am

I do somewhat believe in the supernatural. There are some weird things out there that can not be explained. I believe they stay prevalent because people like mysteries and spooky things that are unexplainable.

Dylan

12/17/2019 10:39:05 am

I agree that they are coriander with the unexplainable.

Paul

But how do you know the werid things arnt made up

Cody

12/17/2019 10:38:31 am

Yeah I do, random items don’t just move around by themselves

Taelyn

12/17/2019 10:40:45 am

Very true

Owen

12/17/2019 10:38:42 am

I don’t believe in ghosts. They are there for the thrill.

Dakota

12/17/2019 10:39:57 am

Why not?

Dakota

12/17/2019 10:38:49 am

I do believe in ghosts, because I hear random noises all the time and it freaks me out. I think they stay prevalent in our stories because people can get scared because we don’t know if they are real or not, and they could pop out and get you.

Dylan

12/17/2019 10:40:23 am

I agree on the reason they are still relevant

Riley

12/17/2019 10:42:10 am

You make them sound like slashers.

Owen

Paul

People do get scared easily

Destiny

12/17/2019 10:38:59 am

I do believe in ghosts. I think that there is something after death. I think that they are a topic that we don’t know very well so they interest people more.

Brooke

12/17/2019 10:44:39 am

I agree that we don’t know anything about ghost or the after life.

Kelton

12/17/2019 10:39:38 am

Somewhat there isn’t full explanations for everything but, I don’t necessarily believe fully in ghosts.

Cole

12/17/2019 10:39:43 am

I do not believe. People like the scare factor that some get from it.

Brayden

12/17/2019 10:39:58 am

They are in stories still to act as like scare tactics. I do believe in ghost.

Kaleb

12/17/2019 10:40:06 am

I do believe in ghosts because I know about Howard.

Riley

12/17/2019 10:41:11 am

I don’t think ghosts are real because most of the “unexplainable” events could be explained by some sort of science. I think that people get scared and immediately explain it of as the supernatural. People think of all kinds of things when the adrenaline is pumping.

Brooke

12/17/2019 10:43:34 am

I agree that science can explain some things that can happen.

Tamryn

12/17/2019 10:41:18 am

I do believe in the supernatural sometimes. Things that can’t be explained freak me out. I love scary stuff and lots of people do. When we get scared our adrenaline goes crazy i think that’s why we keep them in our stories. They make good stories

Troy

12/17/2019 10:41:38 am

I don’t believe in ghost because something with no muscles or bones opening and closing door and slamming them is unrealistic .

Brooke

12/17/2019 10:41:44 am

I do not believe in ghost or the supernatural. I don’t believe in it because if they were real I feel like we would have some evidence or something to support that ghost exist. I think that we make books and movies about ghost because it is unknown and you can creat what ever you want.

Riley

12/17/2019 10:43:13 am

Ghosts are a fairly open field for creativity.

Charlie

12/17/2019 10:43:42 am

I do not believe in ghosts, because I don’t believe that the dead and gone have any abilities when they die. I believe that ghost stories are prevalent because they can help explain things you normally couldn’t.

I do not believe in ghosts but rather spirits. The difference being in that spirits can be good or evil while ghosts are more referred to as evil. I am a firm believer in them because of my family’s ties to the supernatural and witchcraft, as well as having communicated with many spirits before (without the use of a oiji board). I say this knowing there will be those who doubt what I say. Only because they speak of what they don’t understand, and I respect that. But truth is stranger than fiction. It is the meddling of such things that create these stories and folklore, of doubts and beliefs of an entire world that those of witchcraft and not, that meddling with dangerous things for proof. As well as stories about people outsiders do not understand, and yet find what words make sense to describe stories with little truth but great fiction. This is why the supernatural and occult find their way into our tales. Showing the horrible truth, or up played truth.
