I Believe In Ghosts!

Hey Guys x

In May last year (which seems so long ago!) I did a tag post. One of the questions in the tag were 'Do you believe in ghosts'. I said in that post that I 'might' do a separate post all about my belief in ghosts - I then didn't mention it again for over a year, so sorry about that!

But I thought that this would be a great time to do that post.

But first, let me give you a list of some of my favourite 'ghost-based' horror movies for you to hopefully enjoy!

The Conjuring 2

Insidious 2

Sinister

The Woman in Black

The Sixth Sense

Paranormal Activity

The Ring

Shutter

The Grudge

These are great films! If you also believe in ghosts, don't believe, or want to know more about them, watch some of these films! Of course, they're all fictional dramatizations, but they're entertaining nonetheless.

Anyway, onto my own beliefs!

I don't remember a specific time when I started believing, in fact I don't remember ever saying to anyone 'I believe in ghosts', it was just something that was always there.

When I was younger, I would never watch horror movies. I was really scared of them, of being home alone after watching them, and of hearing strange noises while being home alone.

And this was because I was scared of, well, not ghosts exactly. But things that you can't see that terrorise you for the fun of your fear. In movies, this could be ghosts, demons, conduits for evil, anything of the sort.

This fear turned into ghosts when my rational mind took over.

I am the most rational, logical person. I don't remember ever really believing in santa clause or the tooth fairy or anything. There was a significant period in my life when I was an atheist because religion didn't make any sense to me (I now believe in God, but not in any religion. Again, this could be another post that I might write up at a future time... probably in a year from now!), but ghosts is a thing that most people don't think is logical. But it is to me.

First of all, you can't ignore the evidence. I'm not going into it because it really freaks some people out, but if you're interested, google 'real life ghost stories' and you'll find plenty of people who claim to have been terrorised by ghosts.

And then comes the logic. Isn't it at all possible that death isn't the 'heaven' and 'hell' that a lot of people think? Couldn't there be a point in between where the dead (OK, this sounds crazy and scary) roam the earth, trying to put right any wrongs or... something.

I suppose to most of you I sound completely crazy, maybe I am crazy, but nevertheless, I think this is a really interesting thing to think about and an interesting conversation to have. If you want to talk with me about this some more, leave a comment or drop me an email, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you have for me!
