I have to say I'm divided on this issue.
On one hand, ghosts couldn't possibly exist because a) humans aren't suppose to see spirits, angels, or demons period, b) ghosts are a use of symbolism, which translates that a certain character is having troubles with his past and c) you can make a ghost with just a light and a mirror.
On the other hand, I've seen my share of some, but the one time I'm sure I've seen a ghost was the time I was at my house
First of which, my house is built like a square and we have eight rooms and two halls, one connecting the kitchen, bathroom, and spare room (Yes, we have one of those) and one connecting the two bedrooms and another bathroom (the other two I haven't mentioned are the dinning room and living room).
One day, I was walking through the hallway that connects the two bedrooms, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught what looked like a young five year old girl. When I looked back, she was gone.
I haven't picked on a girl that age at all (if memory serves) and a person carrying a mirror would have to climb and move that thing incredibly quick, so I have to say it was either a trick of the mind or the "G" word.
The evil swears are no match for a greater vocab!

a and c aren't reasons. b is an interpretation. :D

Imagination often plays bad jokes...



Surely fake but well done...

Yep! It's fake! Look on the description on Youtube.  There were other "encounters" before and the people of those encounters had much closer contact then this guy! Plus, the flippin' legs are there already so it has to be a machine of some sort!

Take faith for example.  If it is a human created concept, faith is an insidious concept, perhaps one which has permanently changed this world in a way which can never be undone.  A concept where you cannot possibly argue against it because the entire essence of faith is to believe in something that cannot be proven or disproven.  If it is a concept created by God, it's clear to me that God clearly has a wicked sense of humor.
I've argued several people out of religious belief.  I mean, they weren't extremely religious in the first place, but I've successfully done it. 

Anyway, ghosts are retarded.  There's no such thing.

Faith in itself isn't something that can be argued... until you bring Evangelists and Apologists into the picture. These people make a living debating their faith to try and provide a rational basis for their beliefs.
