Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Many people have the supernatural gift of being able to 'see' or feel the presence of ghosts. Unfortunately also many people do not believe in ghosts and when people claim of seeing one, they think they are lying or they are mad. The reason most give is that there is no proof other than opinions and personal encounters. Well, there is no proof for a lot of things. There is no proof of God, there is no proof of Jesus being divine. And yet people still believe in them. I guess it's the same sort of thing.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Ghosts are real, but just a few people that can see them.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Things that are only perceivable to a small minority are typically classified as hallucinations or other tricks of the mind. What qualifications must a person have in order to see ghosts?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

What qualifications does it take to say they don't exist? What, no certification. Then we can rule out anything you say on the subject.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Maybe try actually answering the question I asked. --------------
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

I answered it just like atheist answer everything, by saying nothing. Maybe I should throw in an equivocal in there somewhere then you can comprehend it.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

I answered it just like atheist answer everything, by saying nothing. Maybe I should throw in an equivocal in there somewhere then you can comprehend it.You're very good at saying nothing, indeed it is all you do.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Just because you don't understand something, or don't want to hear it, doesn't mean it's 'nothing'. This debate has nothing to do with atheists or atheism. I know you have a personal vendetta against anyone who lacks a belief in God, but keep it in it's proper place. Another example of your repeated attempts to derail and confuse debates. You still haven't answered the actual question. Usually, that only happens when someone can't think of a real answer.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

What was the question?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

I want to know why:1. Only certain people can see ghosts2. What qualifications one must have to see them 2. Who really has the authority to define those qualifications, as I am sure plenty of people who believe in ghosts and think they have seen them would have different answers.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

To answer your question in regard to why only some people see ghost, I can only answer you with questions. Why is it some people don't see the word in a word jumble and others see it instantly? Why do some people only see one picture when there is a picture within a picture? I could continue with this and ask why one person has athletic ability, musical talents, math skills, etc.? The answer appears that we are either wired to or not wired for these things. Because I have no musical abilities, can I conclude nobody has musical abilities? No, because I have seen others that are talented. In regard to seeing ghost because you don't have the ability does this mean nobody does? We all have some special talent, whose to say seeing ghost isn't one them?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

There are mechanisms that allow things like athletic, musical, and math skills to exist. There is no known mechanism that allows for ghosts to exist as an entity without mass but somehow possessing a consciousness and, according to some, the ability to interact with the physical world, sometimes in a way that, according to still others, exceeds normal human ability. Should convincing evidence for such a mechanism come to light, I would reconsider my lack of belief. Until then, I see no reason to operate as though ghosts do exist. Additionally, for anyone who doubts the existence of any type of ability, there exists ample evidence for those who care to look for it. They only need watch a talented person at work; a concert pianist, an Olympic runner, a math professor, and so on. The hidden word or picture can be pointed out to them. This is not true for ghosts: the only 'evidence' for them is countless unverifiable anecdotes. The tendency of the human brain to misremember, imagine, and leap to conclusions, is far more probable and demonstrable than paranormal entities.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Let me get this straight. You believe in a person's ability because you can see the results and because you can't see what somebody else sees then they are a lier. Sounds a lot like a closed-minded person that is prejudice to others peoples accomplishments. Do you believe that the pianist feels the music before he even plays it or the artist sees his master piece before it is completed? Do these people have passion? How do you know? You can't see it. Does passion exist? It is an invisible force. One might even say that passion is ghost like.Merriam-Webster defines passion as 3: the state or capacity of being acted on by external agents or forces
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Let me get this straight. You believe in a person's ability because you can see the results and because you can't see what somebody else sees then they are a lier.I have said several times that I do not think that all ghost stories are intentional lies. But if someone claims to see something that is basically impossible according to the laws of physics, and has not been and cannot be recreated in a controlled setting, then I think they are either mistaken, unintentionally exaggerating, or lying. You seem to think that closed-mindedness = not agreeing with everything you think and believe. That is not true.I require verifiable evidence before I operate as though something is true. This is not closed-mindedness. This is just refusing to be gullible.Do you believe that the pianist feels the music before he even plays it or the artist sees his master piece before it is completed? Do these people have passion? How do you know? You can't see it. Does passion exist? It is an invisible force. One might even say that passion is ghost like.Merriam-Webster defines passion as 3: the state or capacity of being acted on by external agents or forcesThose are examples of emotion or subjective perceptions of the world, both of which are explainable as functions of the human brain, and both of which have results that can be easily recreated and independently verified. I hope you can tell the difference between these things and a genuine, independently existing paranormal entity.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

You had any real passion, you would know passion is not an emotion.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

You have absolutely no idea what I am passionate about.Also,pas·sion–noun1. any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.-- Once again, you dodge the bulk of a pertinent argument, in order to insult, confuse, or mislead. Do you resort to that when you have no real rebuttal to make?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: NO

but just a few people that can see them.why only a few people? that what is visible to one's eye must be visible to another's. unless they are blind

Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

humans are made of energy. logically when we die our energy or "souls" must exist since energy cannot be destroyed. if people can believe in angels and in god,ghosts shouldn't be too hard to believe in.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

It's inaccurate to state that humans are made of "energy" - yes, we have energy, but we get it from food. This raises the question - do/would ghosts need to eat in order to maintain their existence (in other words, stay "alive")? Otherwise they'd use up the energy they already have, just as living humans do. Do you also think other creatures (non-human animals and plants) have souls and turn into ghosts, since every living thing has to have energy in some way or another? Also, while energy cannot technically be 'destroyed,' you're also misconstruing the already-mentioned dilemma of energy being able to be used up. In other words, we have to continue to eat to get our energy replenished.We're also, of course, still faced with the problem of where ghosts go - if all the beings to ever live still inhabit the earth as energy, the earth would be crammed full of these things. Moreover, there's no verifiable evidence to suggest that ghosts exist, or evidence to support the notion that consciousness (which is an emergent property of the brain) can be maintained and its personality preserved in the absence of the physical presence of the brain. "if people can believe in angels and in god,ghosts shouldn't be too hard to believe in." I see your point, but I would say that people shouldn't believe in ANY of those things. It's all myth and superstition. A great book I'd recommend about it is "The Demon-Haunted World: Science As A Candle In The Dark." The brilliant scientist and critical thinker Carl Sagan eloquently explains the perseverance of paranormal beliefs through history, and why the case for it is much less logical than we would intuitively believe.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: NO

logically when we die our energy or "souls" must exist since energy cannot be destroyedThe energy in the human body is a combination of three kinds of energy: chemical energy, heat and electrical energy. Chemical energy is stored in chemical bonds and electrical energy in electric potential differences between the cytoplasm and the intercellular fluid. Heat is the useless kind of energy. There's not much you can do with it and it will simply dissipate through the air around you. The electrical energy becomes heat when the cells die and they can no longer maintain the potential differences. The only usefull kind is chemical energy. Bugs, bacteria and fungi breaks the bonds down to use the chemical energy for themselves. Some chemical energy remains in terms of bones. This is what happens to all energy if energy is defined like it is in physics and chemistry.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Sometimes i do believe in ghosts where as other times i belive it is just super natural. Mnay people believe in ghosts like our anceiester and i believe it because i believe in God if there is God there has to be devil is'nt it? and one of my friends had also had such paranormal experiences. To tell the truth i am so dam scared of ghosts even in movies! but i also know there are many people like me who are also afraid. but some shows courage but deep inside him/her there is fear!
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

I have no idea if ghost are real or not. In my own experience I haven't witness a ghost. But still who am I to make that judgement. There has been millions of reported ghost sighting, but it could have just been a trick of the light. We will never know. So who knows the Earth is a big place anything could happen.

Debate: Are ghosts real

NOOOOO....... they don't exist. there isn't any evidence which proves that ghosts exists. they are simply a fragment of our imaginaton!
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

What is real and what is reality? Matter is constituted of 99.9% space and emptiness. At the quantum level reality's rules don't even exist. Do you really believe our own animal senses are 100% accurate at assessing a situation or event factually?Secondly Ghost could simply be temporary manifestations of parallel universes and parallel universe people. Quirks in the space time continuum.
Debate: Are ghosts real

hell i think there really and it is true people all over the world have had paranormal experience and well my mum has
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

There are entities that can't be felt or seen or heard. There is TELEPATHY, a system that is naturally in-built and needs no explanation. There is DEJAVU that every human soul has experienced and INTUITIONS exist and you know they do. Human life and this World is bind together with forces which aren't physical. PARAPSYCHOLOGY has proved over and again the existence of such power. So many sciences were never accepted because they don't appear to normal eyes. Paranormal psychology is an evidence to such beings.It is a possibility that there are powers unknown to human eyes such as Ghosts that exist in the Universe and they should not be ignored only because they are not visible. And each one of us have had experiences (and it is quite not possible that you haven't) that can't be explained logically and for all that there is parapsychology.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: Maybe

I don't know.. But I think they exists.. But we, human beings, will never know how they look like, what they do, or if they even exists. I think we'll know that when we're in heaven.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Of course they are! If they aren't, show me your proof. I have heard many cases of ghosts in warehouses and mysterious shadows following people home. I, myself have witnessed many out of this world experiences. If you haven't experienced anything like that then please stop talking.

i didnt believe at first but i aked some people in my family and they have told me some pretty freaky experiences they had like some one sitting on the end of their bed and stuff like that so I'm a believer!!
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Of course they are real. All of that energy (aka spirit) when a person passes doesn't just instantly "poof" disappear.....
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

personally i believe in ghosts.I understand the reasons for others doubts, but my belief has not wavered.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: Maybe

Some believe they are real, some don't. It depends on what you think.If they isn't any hard evidence, who's to say that they aren't real or not? Inferences in the eye may smudge your eyesight, and you get what people believe as ghosts.Pictures in a camera aren't to be trusted either, it's easy enough with photoshop and light tricks.Video footage? No. A video can be edited as well.As of current I am not sure, only because, everyone else from childhood has told me they don't or they do. But I can be wrong. Maybe they do exist. And maybe they don't. How am I supposed to know?

I have a way to tell die in a house see what happens you stay around in the house if your grave is under it
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

if it is not true..!! then why they call it as a ghost..?for me experience is not the best teacher..!!! its more than 75% agree that ghost exist...!!
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: NO

if it is not true..!! then why they call it as a ghost..?people made them up, for entertainment. in the older days people did not have tv. they made stories. Cinderella is a story, its not real. similarly people made stories related to ghosts and supernatural beings. stories took a new turn here, and kept people engrossed.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

they are not invisible we can even see them as our ancestors
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

Ghosts are very real, just because some people can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

There is something, but what it is or what they are is not known.Would be nice to see the results if scientists with their equipment went in and did every experiment they could think of. Just to prove their existence a fact or a delusion.Until there is no definitive proof I'll incline toward YES.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

I have no obligation to state whether they do or do not exist. I personally believe they do, only because my parents have had encounters with this paranormal world, and I believe them. The realm and physics of ghosts appear complicated and almost unbelievable. However, I am firmly planted in the ground with my belief that ghosts, more or less, are entangled in our human world.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

they r real and i don't care what u say. so ha! take that!
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

I believe this is true unless scientifically proven otherwise. But I do not have any experience with them anyway, so I wouldn't know.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

I know what a ghost is, but right now I can't be bothered to explain it. It's nearly midnight here. Zzz.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: YES

I think ghosts are real because when My mom and my baby sister were staying at my aunts hotel and my mom was in the bathroom looking in the mirror when my mom heard my sister say something and she went out to the room and asked my baby sister what she said and my sister said that she was talking to her friend and my mom thought she was joking and went back into the bathroom but left the door open. Then that’s when my sister said “Hi”. And my mom saw something in the mirror. And she turned around and it was gone. She ran out of the bathroom and she didn't see any thing. She then asked my sister again who she was talking to and she said her friend and pointed to the corner of the room. But there was know one there!!!!!!

I can't say that I have ever ran into any paranormal activity. If I ever do, I'll change my answer to yes!
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

ghosts are not real they are just a myth that people come up with to scare the human eye
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: NO

exactly. people created stories to keep themselves entertained. it took a new form of scaring people.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Ghosts are part of the human culture as elements that help us relate to an afterlife, but upon understanding the cycle of life in a scientific way, based on facts, we can no longer consider ghosts as being existent.The facts are simple, after an animal (/human) dies, he dessintegrate and no supernatural element remains. Only the elements that were part of the entity when it was alive, carbon, oxigen, nitrogen, etc.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

ghost and other forms of the paranormal are only figments of our imaginations. Consider for example why what we consider to be scary and horrific only occur in the night. There are no ghosts or paranormal creatures that lure around in the day killing and scaring people. So why do we only see them at night? It's because of our evolutionary ancestors, who hunted and gathered in the day and crowded into caves to protect themselves from various animals at night. There is absolutely no difference between night and day besides the absence of photons yet we as humans always see the night as something to be scared of, and in fact we are partly right because our ancestors had to hide from predators that might be lurking at night.
Debate: Are ghosts real

In a way,yes. The way you mean, no.------------------------------------------------------------
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

There is no known mechanism that would allow a ghost to exist, so in all probability, no.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

There is know known mechanism in your small small world.I LIVE MECHANISM.Most live opinions and opinions are like assholes . everyone has one.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Most live opinions and opinions are like assholes . everyone has one.Try disputing me in a genuine way, as per debate.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

There is know known mechanism in your small small worldNo, there is no known mechanism in human biology which would allow for humans to become ghosts upon death. That is what he is saying. He is using logic to debunk the existance of ghosts, you are replying to him through the scope of personal experience as your small small world would imply.You have no evidence as to the size of his "world" compared to yours. In fact I find one who does not rely on logic or afore mentioned knowledge of things like human biology when answering these questions are actually the one's whose "world" is smaller.So what proof then do you have of ghosts, since you are so determined to belittle one who would disagree?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

you have one too...so yeah, good luck making opinions that are like assholes
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Who's to say we don't see things that aren't real? I've had a particular experience in my life which has hereto prevented me from denying the slim likelyhood of supernatural phenomena, but regardless I am human, and it is substantially more likely that it was not real than that it was. I've only heard of two other such experiences, one from another member in my family, whom I don't trust, another from 'a friend of a friend'.-This can be explained by such occurences as conditional experiences, group-genetic mutations, and electromagnetic halucination. So, in other words, I'm just crazy. There are no supernatural experiences.-The only ones that don't die alone are schizophrenic.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

nah! ghosts aren't real. surely there would have been evidences by now that they are. but I really love to live in the world of fantasies and so I really wish they were;););)
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

there is evidence but its really up to you if you believe in them. i do because me, my family and my friends have all had experience with seiing dead relavitives things flying of shelves and weird noises but again its your choice wether you believe
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

really? evidence that only you and your family "supposedly" saw is not universal evidence if someone says they have seen no evidence or there is no evidence and really has never seen any evidence then that is absolutly correct to say there is no evidence. evidence are facts (fact:something we KNOW) proving claim "X" to be real, and since he DOESN'T know for a FACT that you saw those things, then to him its NOT evidence. I doubt you saw what you think you saw maybe you did but even if you did its only evidence YOU can see, no-one else so FACTUALLY he is correct. I don't mean to sound hostile I'm just saying.
