Hell, I do. Why do you think I'm interested in the paranormal even though I'm not entirely credulous?
“Are ghosts real? To me they are. “
To me they aren’t real. Well, one of us must be wrong. Perhaps personal belief has little bearing on the truth.

“I am always skeptical about people who claim to encounter ghosts in graveyards. Most likely, the person didn't die in a graveyard, so the energy doesn't leave it's imprint. It seems to me that a hospital is more likely to be haunted than a graveyard.”

My, oxygen, quite an impressive display of skepticism. You’re subjective experiences are MORE valid then other’s subjective experiences. “My own personal experiences lead me to believe that ghosts are very real.” That is what I tend to call a double standard.
No, couldn’t be. When YOU see a ghost, not only do you know that you saw something paranormal, but you know what it is! Gosh, you should be the pope.
ozarky,
That is a very illustrative anecdote. I’m going to save that.
