I have always been curious as to why some people see and hear ghosts, and others do not ? why do you think this is so ? do you think it is to do with the way a persons brain is wired ? or is it totally unrelated to that. I have heard what I believe to have been a ghost, I was staying at a house about 3 years ago, I came out of the shower, and clearly heard a woman say, hello abbie, abbie being the family's dog, not recognizing the voice i went downstairs, and as you may expect no one is there, and had not been for several hours.
Maybe we will never know for sure until we ourselves pass over, but I would just be interested to get others opinions on this and similar things.
thank you.

Simple, some people are liars, while other people don't feel the need to lie.

the title of the thread hints pretty much at the answer. ghosts are non-existant, simple as that. some people might hallucinate, some on the other hand, not.

I got into searching for spirits a couple of years ago as a skeptic and got wowed twice in that time frame. Most people think they are a lightening rod and special, so much that they think only they have contact with spirits.
Not true. As a skeptic that was on the fence leaning toward hoax but being as open minded as I could, I had a couple of experiences that shook my foundation and belief in the paranormal which i hold close to the chest.
It doesn't take any one special to encounter the paranormal. Mainly it takes the right time at the right place to become a believer.
Midnight is not the witching hour and its more like between 2 and 5 am that we found active confrontations or sightings.
This is not an oxymoron but be skeptical with an open mind leaning toward debunking what you encounter and the results will solidify your beliefs like mine were, I believe.
It takes no special talents or claims to have an encounter, Just be in the right place at the right time.
Spirits are not showmen that perform on cue or at a certain time. It may take several trips to a site to encounter them or it may happen quite fast.
One of mine was an accidental encounter at 3 am and the other involved captured film that the camera guy didn't see in real time but showed up clearly on tape.
EVP's can be obtained anywhere at anytime I was shown. All you have to do is try it yourself.
