I am not sure. I hear lots of stories about ghosts but I have never experienced anything myself. I am terrified of skin walkers though.

No I don't believe in ghosts, I believe that all "ghosts" are just energy. I feel like any spirits or presences are just energy. They are in our stories because it is the most simple way to explain something that has or had happened to someone that kept them on their toes.

Yes because my family has stories about ghost in my house. I think they are still in stories because they are real.

I have also had things happen in my house that are creepy.

Yes I believe in ghost. I've had times where I don't know how to explain what happened such as a gate slamming shut in my house with no breeze. I think they are important because it tell a story

Anika

They do represent a story in a novel or tale.

That’s crazy

Tristan Cooper

12/15/2022 12:18:45 pm

I do. There are just way to many unexplainable things that have happened in this world.

Yes, I have had some crazy weird experiences before where being supernatural made sense. It is something that people find interest in so thats why there so common in our stories and folklore.

Liberty

12/15/2022 12:21:54 pm

I agree that people find it very interesting.

No I don’t believe in ghosts. Ghost just seem too weird to be real. Ghost s are usually a good gateway to stories about the past.

Bri

12/15/2022 12:21:40 pm

Since you don’t believe in ghosts, where do you think the spirits of those who passed go?

Bri

12/15/2022 12:20:16 pm

It depends. I feel like some ghost stories sound to crazy to believe or some movies that say “based on a true story” seem to be produced more extreme and extra than the original story. I do believe that there is a form of something that has passed or never been born that can connect with those who are still alive, I just don’t think they communicate/or can be seen the way that people over exaggerate/explain them, or maybe even people see them in different ways/forms. I don’t think aliens are the way people/producers explain them, there might be something other than human in the universe that isn’t fully discovered, but I don’t think they fly ufos or have super powers and can still your memory and all that stuff, I think it could be a creature that looks human but isn’t

wow. i really like your answer

Maren

12/15/2022 12:20:18 pm

Yes because I have had experiences with it. I think it is because people are so interested in it.

Bri

12/15/2022 12:22:42 pm

What experience did you have maren

Moses Taylor

I believe in the supernatural because we as a society have been telling and retelling these stories for centuries, so they must have some kernel of truth to them. They remain prevalent in society today because the things that inspire these stories (such as being alone in the forest, or spooky old castles) still exist and are things we still experience.

Riley S.

12/15/2022 12:25:19 pm

I agree

Laynee Woolf

12/15/2022 12:20:24 pm

Yes because my house is haunted. I have no idea why they remain prevalent to folklore.

katie

12/15/2022 12:22:31 pm

ah! scary

katie

12/15/2022 12:20:31 pm

i am not sure, sometimes you feel like your being watched and that might be a ghost or just fear of so.

Liberty

12/15/2022 12:21:05 pm

I do think that ghosts are real and some other supernatural things. I am not sure about all of it but definitely some.

Logan

Have you ever seen a sausage go buck wild on a frying pan? No? Well I have and it was one singular sausage. Ever had your bedroom door slam shut in the middle of the night? No? Well that would be my bedroom door. I do believe in ghosts and supernatural things. I only say that because I have experienced those things in my household along with my other family members. I believe it is in the stories because it is true and many people have experienced something like that. What else do I need to say?

Moses Taylor

Thinking bout that deer that was standing on two legs and looked straight ahead at us that one time

logan

12/15/2022 12:25:44 pm

I will never forget that moe

colton

12/15/2022 12:26:11 pm

did you eat the sausage?

colton platz

12/15/2022 12:23:43 pm

yes I believe in the supernatural. I have heard way too many detailed stories from people I trust about this. I believe that they remain relavent because they are the most true.

Riley S.

12/15/2022 12:25:50 pm

Agreed

Riley S

12/15/2022 12:24:29 pm

Yes I believe in ghosts and the supernatural. I myself have seen and heard things that seem supernatural. Another reason I believe in the supernatural is because of how many stories folklore has about it. With how many stories about it it must have some truths to it.

I work at a place at used to be a funeral home and weird stuff always happens and they plan jokes on us and move stuff around to hide it. I was sitting down and across the room a speaker like flew off the shelf. They have tried the ghost witch craft things and we found his name was Richard and crazy enough there is a left beside tombstone outside the fence with Richard no last name on it.
