Do You Believe In Ghosts?

[Bee Gees Fan]

I'm sure you have a fair idea of what I'd think.

I think it was a dream, nothing more. It just happened to be a realistic dream, which there's nothing supernatural about in my book.

I know, but I wanted to see if you thought it might be possible, and not completely closed to the idea.

I'm convinced it was real, because for one thing, it's the sort of thing Maurice would do, and I believe the dead can come to you through dreams.

I've had several dreams about dead people that I like, including a few more about Maurice, and I've always awoken feeling comforted. I think that's what they're doing - they're coming, in their dreams, to see you and to make you feel better.

I don't believe in Ghosts. The saying, "I have to see it to believe it applies." But I would have to be convinced.

I read that the Bee Gees saw their brother Andy's ghost (well, I think it was just Maurice who actually saw him, I don't think Barry and Robin have.)

But as Maurice told it, he was having a barbecue with the family, and he heard Andy say to him, "Hey buddy!" which was what he used to say when he visited. Maurice said that it was definitely Andy's voice and that it was slightly nasal.

He's also said that he's seen Andy in the crowd at some Bee Gees concerts. It seems like Andy was watching his brothers.

Barry also said that their mother and his wife both saw Andy a few weeks after he died - at the same time. Barry's wife was sleeping and she woke up and saw Andy standing over her. He kissed her. And then the next morning, their mother called him with the same story.

So, Nervosa, and other sceptics - does any of this make you think that it's possible that ghosts might exist?

I don't believe in ghosts - or dragons, witches, wizards, giants, vampires or goblins.

What do you think people who say they've seen/heard ghosts have seen and heard?

Some people make stories up, but there are many people who say they've seen them and heard them and they really believe it. I don't think they're lying.

Andy's ghost is out there somewhere and now Maurice's is too! And John Lennon's. And Buddy Holly's.

I like to think I have all the dead people on my side.

You don't have to be lying to mistake something for something else.

You don't have to be lying to mistake something for something else.

I know, but I don't think they've all made mistakes either.

And there are mediums too - yes, I know some are frauds, but I'm convinced there are some genuine ones.

I voted for yes, but haven't had a 'ghostly encounter' yet! But I think those TV programmes like Most Haunted are competely fake and stupid. As if a ghost would show up on command to do a weekly episode.

I do believe in ghosts, there are too many things that go unexplained. That's some of the inspirations for several of my short stories that I have written.
