Also lets hear various ghost/spooky stories.
This happened when I was 12 living in Jefferson, Texas at the time (which also happens to be the most haunted town in Texas). Anyways staying over ar my bff's house(house was built in 1800s) he told me about a how they would mysteriously smell various things like fresh baked pie that would waft through the house along with out of place sounds. Whatever.jpg(I didn't believe in this stuff). He and I are watching TV, its a little past midnight we are both tired, decide to go to sleep. After 45 minutes still can't sleep. This is when I start to hear noises from the hallway (we're sleeping in the family room). Noises get louder. Realize they're footsteps, not normal ones though, footsteps of heavy and wet boot. Wtf.jpg
I turned to friend across the room and realize he has been awake this whole time too, hear footsteps get hella close to the kitchen, walking in circles for at least 15 minutes, then footsteps lead to entrance of family room, stop a threshold and there's silence for like 10 minutes.
Both of us are frozen in fear. Hear the footsteps turn and walk away into the hallway and slowly get quieter. Force myself asleep till morning.
Only "ghost" experience of my life. I know not that scary but at the time I was scared shirtless.

No. Ghosts are just dumb people's imagination filling in gaps when their mind can't find the proper rationale to explain something they experienced.

That was just Auntie Skinner looking for leftover Catfish Village hushpuppies. Just let her eat and you'll be fine.

If by "ghost" you mean the spirits of dead people then no. I do believe that some people who have supposedly seen "supernatural" things in fact did, and I'll leave it at that.

I don't believe in ghosts.
I believe that people make up ghosts to rationalize things that they can't explain.
I don't believe in things that I've never seen though...

Varying experiences living in Wynlakes in Montgomery, AL. Parts, if not not the majority, of the neighborhood is built on Native burial grounds and has a Civil War graveyard hidden among it as well.
1st experience was something I really didn't think much of personally. I was still in grade school and every morning my mother would make sure I was up by flipping on and off the lights. Well one morning I heard her banging on the door and telling me to get up. It wasn't what she usually did, but again, didn't think much of it. I brush my teeth, take a shower, and headed back to my room before my mom stopped me. She asked me what I was doing up, and I told her, "I'm getting ready for school, what you woke me up for?" She then told me it was 5 AM, a good 2 hours before I usually get up. I then asked her why she woke me up so early, she replied "I didn't". She was still in bed with my stepfather when they heard my shower running, curious as to why I was up at that moment. Couldn't really explain it, other than I distinctly heard "my mother" telling me to wake up as something banged on my door.
Wasn't the last experience in that house, my mother had actually heard someone in the kitchen tell her "My name is Harry". No one was there but her, and no radio nor TV were on. Then there was this peculiar spot that formed on the inside of pull door to the attic, right outside the door to my room. It started small, then it gradually got larger as time passed. We got a handyman to check the attic out for leaks or anything that would cause this spot, and he found nothing. And this wasn't a regular Joe, we'd known this guy for a while. So he replace the door, and we went on with our lives. Soon enough, the spot came back. Again, no explanation.
Then the breaking point happened which caused us to pack up and move. My mother was again home alone, though now in her bedroom rather the kitchen. She was doing some mundane beauty routine in the bathroom as she saw something out out of the corner or her eye. It was a dark, cloudy shadow, but she brushed it off as we often do spotting something that is in our peripheral vision. She continued on until she spotted it again, now somewhat closer. She was a bit unnerved, so she shut the door to the bathroom with the thought of "out of sight, out of mind" and finished what she was doing. As she completed her task, the thought crept back into her mind about what she had seen. She opened the door into her bedroom to leave the room and she had made it almost past her bed until she was staring into the same cloudy mass she'd seen before. She stood there for a few seconds, scared, then "it" just dissipated. She screamed, ran out of the room, and called my stepfather frantically as she left the house.
Unbeknownst to me, they had actually brought in a priest for council. Actually, I was only aware of the experience I had and nothing else. I didn't learn most of this until we thought we were out of the woods. We moved into a new house in the same neighborhood, it's huge, for hope of peace of mind. Well, that didn't last long...but this post sure did.
Not sure if I could fit the rest on here.
ETA: I believe, and I'm not embarrassed to say so.

I don't believe in ghosts.
I don't believe in aliens either but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
It is presumptuous and almost foolish of people to think there's nothing outside the detection of our five senses.
