I wish there were ghosts, and Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, The Sandman.....Sorry, no ghosts in this world.

Not to say you'r wrong in all but do you have proof that they exist or not. Some people could have been so in to ghost that they thought they saw one. But tell you the truth they can exist but you just can't proove it.

We only know a small fraction of the world around us - so no one can say there are no ghosts. In all actuality, and I'd hate to do this, but ghosts are as likely as god and so many people seem to believe in that.

I don't know about ghosts, but I do believe in God and spirits, and I wouldn't say I'm delusional.
There was something in our old high school, though it may have just risen from multiple imaginations. I've heard a lot of stories, some about a dead janitor, some about a dead student, but I don't really believe all those. What I do believe is what I've seen. My freshman year, our lockers where on the third floor (the floor with the 'ghost'). I went to a school function (can't remember what) with some friends, and one of them remembered he had left his English book in his locker, and he had an assignment. So five of us went up to the third floor, freaked out because it was so dark. When we finally got to the third floor, we looked into the door that leads to the hallway and all we could see was a red light filling up the entire floor. It wasn't just light from the exit sign, because it was just flooding the hallway, all the way down. We all ran downstairs. It's kind of funny to think about now. Also, I've heard from several people, most who I trust deeply, that in the art room the water would just randomly turn on and off (the art room is in the third floor, and supposedly where the janitor or student died). You could blame it on old plumbing, because the school is over 100 years old, but it never happened anywhere else in the building.

There are a lot of things in the realm of science that can only be postulated... Quantum Physics is a good example of this. Doesn't mean that particles don't exist. It just means that we can't observe them effectively. Yet.

Quantum Physics??? That's confusing...
And what pray tell is real but can't be proved Starr Polish?

Quantum physics is confusing, I did a course on it last semester. The gist of it is that you can't similtaneously know the exact velocity and momentum of a particle, such as an electron. But since we don't experience very small things like an electron everday, we didn't know about it till about 100 years ago. Quantum mechanics is a good model, as it agrees with all experiments so far.
I see the world as atoms and forces and the laws of nature. I don't understand how there could be ghosts. If anyone has proof - I mean real proof, not second hand stories or blurry photos - I would really like to know about it. The trouble with society today is that we are beginning to become less skeptical. Those stupid TV shows with psychics are just one example. Read some books by Carl Sagan and you will be informed.

Yes, but the question is, whose dream am I in, and are there ghosts in it?

GHOST: 1.) The spirit (KEYWORD: spirit) of a dead person, especially one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats. 2.) The center of spiritual life; the soul. Wake up people: ghosts and spirits are the SAME friggin' thing. Sorry, this just annoys the heck outta my poor little brain.
