| No. But I find the belief in ghosts to be a widely held belief here. |

I'd say no before Korea, but you are right. I had this discussion with so many Koreans,
I've no choice but to vote undecided. |

| Korean ghosts are different than our ghosts. I sort of think the Korean concept of a ghost is closer to a zombie. |

Well, I don't believe in them on the basis of that vid. The shadowy thing is hardly cut-and-dry proof and the baby's crying towards the end developed a weird sound that sounded a bit fake. It's also convenient that the mother placed the camera facing the door, where the amazing door-opening took place. A more sensible thing to do would have been to make the area of the baby, if not the baby itself, visible to some extent, or better still to bring babba into mummy and daddy's bed for the rest of the night.....rather than film the door.
My main gripe with the paranormal is really straightforward: why is it always somebody else that sees it and not me? I've walked through woods at night, slept alone in my house countless times when I was younger and more vulnerable and with a more active imagination, been intoxicated out of my skull.....why never me?
I don't believe, but would not sleep in a haunted house alone. |

Yeah. The "shadowy" thing you could create no probs in Sony Vegas. And the door is opened from the other side. I'm curious about the tags "lorraine warren". Her and her husband (now dead) are kind of famous slip shod ghost hunters:

| I don't believe in ghosts because I've never saw one or good evidence for one. When we die, we die, we don't hang out going "wooo..woooo". |

I love the show quantum leap. Therefore I believe in leaping over time into different bodies to solve problems. I'm missing a step in your logic here. |

| Never seen one, never gotten a Ouija board to move but I voted yes. Not sure what they are exactly but I've known a heck of a lot of people who have seen them. |

No blame. Most people who don't believe in ghosts have never seen any. Also don't blame creationists who don't believe in evolution because they never saw it happen. Anyone's right not to believe in what they have never seen ... but I'm not going to tell you we need to teach about ghosts in the public schools, haha.
I have seen ghosts, though. Not gonna tell my stories, because they are very personal, but I will say they are usually not malevolent like in the Spielberg Poltergeist flicks. Most of the time it's just folks wandering around, not sure where they are supposed to be ... and who among us has THAT not happened to?
Completely off the beam, but in China, the pejorative term for caucasian people for a long time has been gwailo, which also means ghost ...
Yeah, I know. |

No, I'm just saying they are realistic with the way they search for the paranormal. I'm not saying it proves anything because in most of the cases they just come out with EVP's(which are pretty creepy). What I'm saying is I myself have gone on these types of investigations and have had some interesting experiences. |

The video in the OP was....what? A shadow, a door opens and closes. 
Time to call Randi. |

I noticed if you post under the video anything that doesn't confirm this is a true ghost video, your comment is deleted and you're banned from posting.
Good thing ghost hunters are open to debate. |
