Some swear by weird encounters, while others believe science explains the unknown. Ghost stories span cultures and centuries, from haunted houses to unexplained whispers. Are spirits real, or just tricks of the mind? Share your thoughts — do you believe in ghosts?

Yes, I believe ghosts or spirits are real. However, some people try to ease their fears or doubts by attributing such experiences to science. They may dismiss the supernatural as a way to rationalise or explain it away. Meriska Erasmus, Rustenburg 
No, I don’t believe in ghosts. I believe demons can manifest as the spirits of the dead. As a Christian, I acknowledge that stories of demons are real and were told to demonstrate God’s power to drive them away—from places and even from people. Ghosts, in my view, are just a smokescreen for the existence of demons. Thuso Nnyane, Rustenburg
