Do you believe in ghosts?

When I was a kid, I used to believe in everything: The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Space Aliens...Human Decency. But then I started reading science book after science book and slowly these things started to fall away. I eventually became a skeptic and hardcore adherent to science, requiring any claims to have the proof it was due. Loch Ness Lake has been scanned by sonar and satellites and found no sign of a plesiosaur nor did samples of DNA evidence show anything resembling a monster. Bigfoot is likely not real since there’s been no actual biological evidence ever to be found—all the footprints, videos, and eyewitness accounts have been deemed hoaxes whether by examining the submitted evidence or by admission.
And the same goes for ghosts.

Ghosts aren’t real. And here’s why.

People who go out of there way to denounce/attack personal Xperiance of others by merit of their scientific mind

“Says here you had an unexplained encounter with a poltergeist, well what I read in science is that you had a psychological episode ?”

“Well if by psychological you mean blind guess work of the human body, no. But the people that saw a transparent shadow floating across the world in a possible endless haunting of earth then have a certain conviction that paper is having a hard time dictating their experience, but any who haven’t had such experience are entertaining the notion,”

There was a time in human history where the greatest scientific minds believed that the cure to many maladies was a good bleeding, in order to get the "ill humours" out of your blood. Similarly, there was a time in human history where the greatest scientific minds though the earth was the center of the solar system, tomatoes were deadly poisonous, and that all physical matter was made up of some combination of the four elements of water, fire, air, and earth. We've come a long way since then.

While it is certainly possible that our science has disproved the concept of ghosts and spirits, it is just as possible that our science simply has not reach a point of sophistication where it can detect such things.

My personal experience is that ghosts are a real phenomenon, although probably not in the way we conventionally think of them. I have seen phenomenon that I cannot explain, including physical objects moving on their own accord. I have seen recently departed loved ones, as has another member of my family.

I am certainly willing to entertain that I have been suffering from kind of psychoses my entire life (my seeing ghosts started as a small child), but that's always struck me as a cop-out used by those that are adamant spirits do not exist.

Yeah, the problem for me are my own experiences:

Seeing the same ghost, twice on one day. During daytime hours. Then finding out years later that my sister saw the same ghost, around the same days.

Having a poltergeist move stuff around my room, including twice when I was in there. Once with a witness.

Seeing a ghost, with a good friend there to witness it.

There have been other incidents, but those above are hard to attribute to hallucinations, when others saw the same things.
