do you believe in ghosts ?

I believe what I see unless I know it is an illusion. Never seen a ghost but if I did would obviously update my belief.

But you don't see electron either? Does this mean they are illusion?

But a more better explanation would be that you hallucinated, my friend was telling me that the fact you actually see a person as a ghost means that you probably did hallucinate as that is what you believe a ghost to be, a dead person. If it was something completely different that you've never been subjected too, then you can't really say you hallucinated.

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate because of this, but I have actually seen a ghost. I saw it in my ancsetory home in India which is about 400 years old. You might say I might have been imagining things, but I wasn't. It was as though there was an actual person there. I was sitting at the dining table with the rest of the family and I saw this figure. It was extremely vivid and it looked exactly like a real person but the eyes were more slanted and larger. As though it could see inside me. I was never a believer of anything supernatural before this incident, but after this I've seriously though about this. After seeing this "ghost" I started crying because the sight of actually seeing something that nobody else could see overwhelmed me. As I was leaving the house I saw it again in the field next to the house. I started crying again.
I know there will be people here who would say I was just imagining it or something and people who will say that I just made it up. I can't do anything about that. I'm just saying why I believe in ghosts and the supernatural in general.

I'm curious. How old were you? Y'know no matter how convincing the story it's never real till it happens to you. I'd love to see a ghost cause my whole understanding of reality would have to be completely rearranged. No such excitement for me so far

if you don't believe in the paranormal would you stay in a haunted house alone at night by yourself.

I personally don't jump on the hallucination bandwagon. There are simpler explanations that don't require an aberation of the mind. I've also had the odd conversation with proffesionals with some training in psychology and they tell me the tendency to hallicinate is much lower than the urban myth suggests.

For me the ghost would have to be more than just a hazy image. There'd need to be some collaborating evidence like a drop in temperature, audio conversation or sound, smell or strong sense of a presence. Then it'd be harder to attribute it to a hallucination. I've never had anything even approaching any of this.
