Do you believe in ghosts? Although sometimes a silly question, Do You Believe in Ghosts? has been a fundamental aspect of all human culture since long before recorded history. Belief or disbelief in ghosts crosses all past and present civilizations, cultures, countries, religions, ethnicities and belief systems. Accounts of individuals crossing from the physical to the nonphysical and then communicating with the living are found in everything from ancient cave drawings to the Bible, from folklore to scientific journals to local newspapers.While a generous slice of humanity readily or reluctantly believes in ghosts, a larger slice refuses to believe in the paranormaldespite stories of hauntings in cities and towns across the world.
And while a good percentage of ghost sightings are faked, false alarms or practical jokes, another good percentage is believed to be the real thing.Still, individuals talking about their encounters with the paranormal to people in their everyday lives will almost always be met with cynicism. Psychics communicating with the dead can all too easily be debunked.

Change the rules. Over the last few years, paranormal groups have redirected their efforts from communicating with spooks to aimingto prove the paranormal exists... scientifically.

Cable shows such as Ghost Hunters now focus on capturing provable paranormal evidence by digital video, sound, images, electromagnetic waves, and other scientific principles. The goal of modern ghost hunting is conducting paranormal investigation less focused on wandering around a haunted site trying not to be scared, and more focused on helping the discipline become an accepted branch of natural science.But what about the ghostly shoulder taps? Forms in corners? Flashes of swirling light? Voices onvoice r...
