Are ghosts real or false?

[.Tony]

Well, I've been thinking about this for a few years now, but I haven't actually cared enough to bring it up. I don't really know the answer of it, but.. If ghosts are real, how come they aren't appearing in the exact second you hear anything similiar to it? From where does ghosts come from anyways? I'm guessing it is people's dead souls that stays in the area they passed away from. And keep disturbing anyone that comes there. (Often occurs in houses where they actually have died in - I've noticed it.)

People often say that you shouldn't believe in ghosts at all, because they don't ' exist '. But they really do, because I have been through a situation like that, once in a house that has been abandoned for at least 20+ years. I am not a guy that actually notices anything when I am asleep, but now it feels like I am being '' harmed '' by ghosts that are in my room. Sometimes I hear strange noises just a few metres away from my room, and sometimes downstairs.. I don't really know if this house is haunted or not, because I have been bothered with these kinds of things for at least 3 months now, and I can't sleep well anymore. I wake up more than 3 times a night, just because of this, I don't understand from where they come from. And what they want from you..

Any ideas?

Sounds like a psychological issue. Perhaps consult a psychiatrist.

I don't think it is, as I haven't been bothered with it before we moved into our new house.

No, ghosts are not real.

I hear noises all the time in my house because the floorboard is squeaky as f**k, and when I was a kid I always used to associate these sounds with ghosts or something like that.

Oh, and the fact that you've had this problem for three months now:

Your mind will constantly over exaggerate(trust me, its shitty as hell, fact: 99 percent of the average human's "memory" is actually false). The thing is actually not the fact that your haunted, but went in a haunted house, then moved to a new house and also "expirienced" paranormal activity. This is how it worked, you had doubts but you were safe in your house, your new house could be unsafe and hence your mind thought that theres tiny paranormal there. Once it thought there was paranormal it started exaggerating on it.This will probably go away soon, unless you are having troubles with it in which case you should probably consult a psychiatrist.

Here is where I stopped reading.

Being the skeptic that I am, I usually dismiss accounts of people seeing ghosts as false or misinterpreted. I cannot seem to find a reason that would disprove the existence of ghosts, however.

The existance of God cant be disproved either, and no scientist will ever try.
Psychologists already proved that theory of ghosts emerged as part of arguement from ignorance(not offensive, idiots need to change name). They put the patients under equipment and had them see a horror movie involving ghosts, and A.F.I nodes were the ones in main control of it all, so yeah ghosts are nothing but your brain's failures.

Also, the memory is false. You can carry out a cool little experiment to prove it, try to imagine the place you think your the most familiar with(Needless to say, it needs to be 3D like your house or office or w/e). Now look at the finer details of the place, is it EXACTLY the way it is in reality? You visit it everyday yet you cant render a 3D model of it, dont worry we all do it. Let me explain how

You see, memories are not stored in some grand database of the brain(if they were, well your brain's gravity would probably beat the sun's given that your brain can grow to that size to hold all those memories). Memories are reconstructed on the spot, that it why whenever you look at things you get sparked with memories related to them, your brain constantly puts things to your attention related to whats in it currently. For example, have you ever had a problem with a friend like talking about a event, then suddenly one of you claims it was easter and other that it was christmas?Thats vey common actually, and chances are 3/9 that your right, 3/9 that hes right, and 3/9 that neither of you are right.
However people do have a good and a bad memory in a sense, for example if you are to tell some people that a man's last name is Baker, and some people that the man is a Baker, the people who are told he is a Baker would probably remember him for longer.

The more things you associate with memory, the higher the chances of you remembering it. That it why developing memory heusterics is a really good idea, although time consuming.

There are ghosts everywhere you move around. If you are scared of them, they'll harm you. If you ignore them and don't care of them. Nothing such will happen. I suggest you to don't wake up at night. Even if you cannot sleep just pretend that you're sleeping. There are some evil spirits and some good spirits around you. At 6:00-30pm spirits come out and pass around the house/map around the world, if you feel like someone is calling you at this time and the guy that is calling you is the same voice of your relative or someone who is living with you so just ignore it. If you respond to it and just try to hear it again, you'll be harmed.

Listen to some music when you go to sleep, you'll fall asleep and you won't hear a thing, problem solved.

Unless then it's your sub-consious which convinces you that there are ghosts in your house and wakes you up, in that case it

Sounds like a psychological issue. Perhaps consult a psychiatrist.

If you have a problem, If none else can help and If you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team !!

This! In my house when you sleep you'll hear thousands of sounds, most of them from stairs, as they are wooden.

This is the solution.

What time do the ghosts' shifts end?
