This forum is more or less me talking to myself, in written public form. I don?t by any means think I am the first to broach this subject but I am curious to get some opinions.

Why do we love ghost shows, or play with the Ouija board? Is the whole thing a quest for knowledge, or do we truly care what happens after we die?

I believe that people deep down need to know that after we pass on, there isn?t just an eternity of emptiness and we disappear. Spirits and ghosts use to be stories to scare us as kids and now they are something that we search for and try to contact ourselves.
I am not saying I don?t believe in ghosts, I definitely do, I think haunting and possessions are real, and that we can communicate as much as we want with ?the other side? because I truly don?t know how to comprehend any idea of after death just being nothing, and gone.

Tell me, if you believe in spirits and ghosts and that sort of thing, why? Do you just want to know what is out in the world that we don?t understand?, are you a skeptic that is open minded enough to seek out any truth behind it?

(Only my second forum, so please don?t be rude or criticize anyone?s response or this forum)
