Do Ghosts Exist?


Ghosts and ghouls; many believe they are simply fictional characters created to give horror stories that extra edge. However, there are also many who believe ghosts exist. The spirits of deceased beings wandering another “world”.
Of course, there have never been any real evidence to prove either side, but personally, I have always had a belief in the after life.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there’s such a thing as figures in white sheets and chains wailing and roaming around empty halls, but I do believe in spirits.
I believe that if you’ve been a “good” person, you’re ‘set free’ when you pass on, so you’re able to look over your loved ones, and guide them through their lives.
I took great comfort in this believe recently. My gran, affectionately known as “Granny Mac”, was admitted into hospital 4 months ago, after she fell and broke her leg. Her leg healed 6 weeks after, yet it became apparent that she wasn’t going to let home for a while. She was constantly battling infections, have several at the same time, and after three months of hell, it looked like she was about to give up. We got “the phone call” ushering us up to the hospital as soon as possible.
Now, this was the first time I’d been in this situation before, and having to deal with the fact my only grandmother was about to die was hard.
My Granny Mac is fortunately still with us; however, I know that when she does pass on, she isn’t going to be totally leaving us. I know she is going to be watching over us all, looking after us and making sure we are okay. I know she will still be there for me, that she will help me in times of need.

I’m not religious, not at all. I don’t believe in “Jesus”, or “Allah” or “Buddha” for that matter. I take solace in the fact that I know my loved ones who’ve passed on will guide me when I need it. I don’t need religion to help me lead my life.
I also know that when my time is up, they’ll be there waiting for me; my great grandparents, my sister, my auntie…

So for those of you who say you need proof to believe in ghosts or spirits. I truly believe you’ll get proof, when you need it.
