I do believe there are some spirits existing around us. When I was a student, I liked to play a game called "plate celestial" with my relatives and friends. We summoned the plate celestial by putting our fingers on the plate and chanting incantations. It's incredible that the plate moved by itself in a short time after our summons. Then we could ask the plate celestial any questions we wanted to know. I haven't played the game for a long time and it's very terrible for me to recall at present. To speak the truth, the plate did move by itself without any external force. This experience makes me believe that there really are some spirits around us. Maybe we could not see them, but they did exist. I don't know whether they could count as ghosts.

I do believe in ghosts and spirits but I feel that they live among us in human guise. I certainly don't believe in green or white ghosts.

I am a genetic witch. My grandma was a witch as was my mother. My mother, however, went into the field of medicine and became a doctor and uses technology over nature. I am not decrying this as she is a very good doctor.

I am in two minds. I study Wicca and believe in the power of positivity and negativity but I'm not a member of a coven. I do cast spells, but only for good and never for evil.

i ve heard of plate celestial too,it's so terrible. cuz people said it's belong to bad sprits.and have u heard of pen celestial? it's said to be a good sprit. so i ve played several times. two people hold a pen together, and summon the pen celestail. when it came out , you can ask it question. then the pen in your hand will move on the paper, write down the answer u want to know , but during the whole process.both u and ur parterner didnt move the pen ,it goes by itself . u just feel like its the other people who move the pen.

i sometimes believe,sometimes not,there are a question in my mind,if the ghost exist,where did they live?whether they eat or not?who govern them?
did they fear human being just as we fear them?whether they have parents,brother,wife?
who can give a answer?

well~~why some people do not believe in ghost? but it dosn't matter anyway...I think..as long as ghost andhuman being won't bother each other..then that's fine. don't know if u guys have heard this story..long long time ago..there were two men discussing about if the ghost are "there"..around us? the first man said..sure I believe..why not? people become ghost after we die..and the other man said..I don't believe..since you said..human being would become ghost after we die..that's becaise it's out sprist(soul) right? then..tell me..how come our clothes have spirit(soul)too?? the ghost always put on the dress..isn't it? so..at the end of this conversation..seems there should be no ghost...but..after few days...the man who doesn't believe in ghost..he run into a ghost suddenly..he was too shock..he couldn't believe it..he died anyway....so..this is how the story goes..for myself..sometimes..i do fear of those "things." but if you didn't do anything bad..they shall not hurt you..maybe Confused

I agree that ghost do exist, but until i witness one myself, I can't tell you what they look like. TV. often portray ghosts as scary and dangerous and i think a lot of people believe this too much. I believe that there is always some type of force working around us both good and evil, and we have the power to control which ones we want around. When we good, we draw good forces around us and vice versa.

[b]rigi_bbi[/b] In my opinion, Ghosts and metaphysical forces live in a world that humans can not fully understand. Sometimes, its just best not to worry about it or try to understand it. If the thought of ghost bother you so much, I think you should talk to a religious leader around where you live and see if they can give you some answers.
