Not very open minded but each to their own! ;)

well the book im talking about wasnt something he wrote about someone, its a reprint of the letters he wrote to a female student, giving advice and helping understand things and you never get to read the actual letters of his student just his responses

Whats the name of this book? it sounds interesting lol

only some streets...

Oh I see....the logic is, if air exists, so must ghosts. :P

I admit that I tend to be quite cynical about anything that's not scientifically proven. Slightly off track, what pisses me off are fortune tellers or individuals who have a "gift" that allows them to communicate with dead relatives.

well most of those are just people who know how to do a proper cold or hot reading, nothing special anyone can learn those techniques

I hated COD Ghosts.

You get ones that are real good at it too. There was one I have been impressed with, it was good fun.

well those skills and techniques just need a lot of practice and youll do it without noticing sooner or later

I have no idea about ghosts, but I have encountered things I could not explain.

Nothing visual, just auditory, but enough to make me look for a cause that I couldn't determine.

As a kid, I used to genuinely believe there were ghosts in the cellar of our house. I believed that as long as I talked to them, they wouldn't attack so I'd verbally announce my presence every time I went down there to get some tools or ice cream from the freezer.
As for my grandma's house, there were always ghosts in the attic and basement but only in dreams. The ghosts in the basement were never visible but in the attic you could sometimes see them. After my grand aunt and grandma died, they would sometimes appear as ghosts in the attic (only in dreams, as well).

Here's a few things to consider.

If Ghosts exist, they offend the Christian Faith by having a situation where a soul is neither rewarded nor punished.

If Ghosts exist, they offend the Catholic Faith. While souls can exist in purgatory, a ghost is considered to be lost eternal from an outside perspective, instead of being cleansed and moved onward to the afterlife.

By these two, we don't equate a soul to be equal to that of a ghost. A ghost is considered a manifestation and gestation of a person's will and emotion, as opposed to an intangible spirit that makes a HUMAN alive, to be returned to either a creator or destroyer in ethereal worlds. These two religions don't give souls to animals, and animals have been thought to be represented as ghosts as easily as people.

There are religions, faiths that do allow ghosts, but I don't know nearly enough to be a decent source on either.

This would assume you're both Christian and also that you heed to one of the many doctrines of American styled Christianty I presume?!
I won't call in future! ;)

Story time?
