<sigh> Oh come on now.

There is physical rational for everything that occurs in the universe. There are no ghosts.

Ok, but I still believe.

Are you sure? Even if there's PROOF??? I don't mean the scary type monster bad ghosts. I mean the ones that just don't move on and stay in the house or with someone who was close to them. Just people ghosts. Spirits. They're just around.

The wife and I have been discussing it....and really we have no idea what to do about her. For now....the answer is 'nothing'

I appreciate the advice and insight on here by the posters though.

Edit: And oh yeah. Lil sis decided to go watch a movie in lil bro's room the other night....thereby leaving the 12 year old by herself in the 5 yr old's room. She couldn't sleep because she was scared and decided it would be better to turn the lights on. Also kept coming in our room to whine about being scared to sleep alone....several times....past midnight.

And....saturday night Lil sis and lil bro both slept downstairs in big sis's room and watched a movie together....again...leaving her to sleep by herself....scared.
She's milking that for all it's worth, isn't she. Hmmm.

It has to be obvious that there is no danger or anything scary in her room since two practically babies can sleep down there all by themselves and still live to see daylight.

^But you see....that's how rational people think. We're talking about a tween girl.

Lately these haunted house shows have been popping up on TV. What I can't figure out is why any company would want to pay to advertise during the commercial breaks.

There are no 'ghosts' or 'spirits' hanging around. It's your imagination.

The only proof that they may exist is created and falsely rationalized in your own mind.

Unfortunately my sense of reasoning has put a damper on my own religion.

Something "uncaused" existed sometime, somewhere or else we wouldn't exist now. Even if you believe it was the universe, not God that was uncaused, something did. How does that line up with "reason?"

(I'm not arguing for the existence of ghosts, by the way! Just sayin' )

Those are a lot of hype. But think about it.. There have been stories about ghosts for centuries. They aren't all imagination. Because they can't be explained doesn't mean they don't exist. I, myself have experienced two. My daughter does on a daily basis. There's one in our house. Really.

I reasoned myself right out of religion a number of years ago. My mother is so disappointed in me. She thinks I'm going to hell.
