I don't believe in Ghosts but I have seen one.
May 17, 2012 at 8:18 pm
About 8 years ago I looked into a window of an abandoned mansion and seen a face with no body just a face. I was only 14 but this memory is extremely vivid.

This place had been abandoned so long there wasn't any floors, so it was basically impossible for someone to be up there.

I have always assumed it was my mind playing tricks on me. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.

It's you mind playing tricks on you. This kind of thing happens more often and you'd think.

The human imagination is incredibly powerful. It may have been a distorted reflection of your own face.

I grew up across the street and through the woods from an abandoned tuberculosis hospital. Believe me, if there were such a thing as ghosts, I would have seen more than my share of them. I was a very imaginative kid. I wanted nothing more than to see something totally fucked up and supernatural at that hospital. I never did.

I am almost 100% sure it was my imagination.

Good thought but there weren't any glass in the windows.

Well that has now pushed me to definitely believing it was my mind playing tricks on me.

This made me think of a very good point. If ghosts are real why aren't hospitals filled with them.

Don't worry. Ghosts are just as real as gods.
