THIS I BELIEVE...ghosts Oooo

I believe in ghosts…Don’t you? It might sound ridiculous, but it’s just one of those things that stick with you. I’m very curious and afraid of the afterlife. It’s somewhat an undesirable combination because at one point I want to know more about it, but on the other hand, I’m afraid that I might know too much. Almost too much that I might end up putting myself into situations that will involve actual ghost experiences. This belief is very confusing. Have you ever believed in something this crazy?

I’ve heard stories from friends and families about their encounters with ghosts. As I listen to their ridiculous and scary stories, I start to wonder “why doesn’t it happen to me? Do I have to do something? Is there some kind of requirement that I need to acquire?” A part of me wants to believe it isn’t real, but because of all the stories I’ve heard, a part of me is still holding onto the idea.

For example,
One night my uncle and his friend were in a theatre that nobody goes to because of its history of violent murders and gruesome events. Once they got in, they felt very claustrophobic. The weird thing was there were only 5 or so people in the theatre. But as soon as they were inside to watch their movie, they couldn’t find a seat because it was already crowded so they decided to stand in the back and lean against the wall. Once the movie finished, they left, not bothering to look back to see if the others followed. But as they exited, they were greeted by the guard, “How did you guys enjoy the movie? You guys must have enjoyed having the place all to yourself...” and as those words came out of the guards mouth my uncle and his friend stared at each other and looked back. They saw the theatre with no lights and it looked like it was never open…

After hearing that, even if it sounds made up, it made me really curious and fascinated that it could have really happened. Would I really want that to happen? Believing in ghosts is very confusing and arouses many questions…

Maybe I shouldn’t believe anymore…or maybe just maybe… a ghost is responsible for this confusion and my belief… :)
