Not I.

Well, you asked. My *personal* beliefs regarding ghosts go something like this:

Existence: More like spirits, as wm said.

However, I don't believe these to be deceased humans, as many believe. There's the Holy Ghost/Spirit(Alignment: Good; LV Lazy 8), and then there's evil spirits(Alignment: Evil[Duh!]; LV unknown). The latter are the ones responsible for impersonation of the dead, telekinesis, telepathy, magic in general, etc.
