yes, i do. my friend's house is haunted. i felt a finger go into my back. my friend was on his bed i would have turned around fast enough to see him. his mom says she hears whispers to her. we took Ouija board and we talked to a ghost. he said his name was George. the next day my friend asked who George was and she said it was like one of the owners fathers and said a lot of things that George told us. none of us knew about George so it wasn't my friend playing a joke on me.
So you dont call millions of witnesses all around the world as proof.

Anecdotes are not proof. I could probably find a hundred people who could swear they've seen a real-live T-Rex. Does that make it true? Nope.
And subjective experience can be influenced by other sources (like sickness, extreme grief or mental illness) and cause hallucinations, but you can't prove "but I saw it" to anyone else but yourself.
There is not a single piece of conclusive and testable evidence that shows that something like a ghost or spirit exists. All we have is grainy photos/videos that have rational explanations and a bunch of anecdotes.

I've watched a lot of those shows... and seen nothing that can't be explained rationally. Old creaky houses are the perfect place to find lots of weird noises and unstable furniture/framing/doors/etc. ;)

I get what your saying but if you got 12 witness's in a murder trial with miiniscule diffrences that would collabarate one story would you not call that proof.

Eye-witness testimony is not testable nor objective evidence. A clear video recording or a gun with the fingerprint of the killer on it is a lot more convincing than the words of another person. If I were ever in a jury, I couldn't say "guilty" until I saw some hard evidence. People telling me what they (think) they saw is not at all convincing.
Same thing goes for ghosts. As much as you believe it to be true, until you can prove it to someone else it is not factual.
[QUOTE="Sway-"]Im guessing you believe in Aliens also.foxhound_fox
What are you saying, believe that they exist... or accept a high probability that they might exist due to the massive size of the universe? I was agreeing with you in the fact that just because alot of people say they seen them doesnt mean they have.

The only problem is that no one wants to accept them. Check out this documentary which shows police, journalist, people outside the house and many other witnesses seeing the said phenomenon. This is considered the best documented source for a poltergeist.BBC Documentary
Also consider that every culuture in the world has accounts of ghosts.

Its not proof if you already have a set conclusion to not believe in anything else but what we already know.
