Debate # 2 - ghosts!

'

My subject for debate last week – How many Gods are there? – received several interesting comments. So I’d thought I’d throw another one into the ring!

A few minutes ago, I was working on my computer when I suddenly lost my internet connection. After trying every way I knew to restore it without success, something drew my eye to the telephone extension led which connects my machine to my phone line, and I was surprised to find that it had been removed from the socket thereby cutting me off. I’m home alone, and the plug clicks into position. There is no way possible it can fall out. But out it was!

I work in an old building – it was built in 1780 and at one time it housed the local court. There was at least one person hanged on the premises. It’s supposed to be haunted. I am one of the only people who work or regularly visit there, that has never claimed to have experienced a ghostly presence. In fact a ghost-watch organisation carried out an all-night vigil there a couple of years back – here is a link to their report.

I am sceptical. I’ll go further – I find it hard to believe that spirits walk the earth. I find it difficult to believe that we can communicate with the dead. And although I’ve joined in a séance and felt a glass move beneath my fingers, I am still convinced to this day that someone pushed a little bit! As for the old lady in a tent with a pack of cards and a crystal ball, I remain unconvinced.

Having said that, if I get run over by a bus tomorrow and find myself wandering around like the invisible man, I promise to visit your site and leave you a message!In the meantime I’d really appreciate hearing your view on this subject.
