2. There's room for both the believer and the naysayer... here, on DU.

My jury is sort of out...until I see positive proof either way. :hi:

5. There should be

but actually some groups of people are only grudgingly tolerated here. We are not as open minded as we pretend to be.

3. Here's my theory

The human nervous system runs on electricity. That electricity discharges into the atmosphere. Ghosts/Spirits are remnants of electronic activity.

Necromancy is much more exciting.

12. every society has some sort of ghost story

that's why I believe in ghosts. not because they exist in fact but that they exist in fiction and as metaphore.
besides scary stuff is fun.

13. I love a good ghost story.

But I don't think it's likely they exist. I know it's a commonly held belief, though, and I'm in the minority, apparently.
