SINCE nobody has ever proved decisively that ghosts exist they must be make-believe, right?
But hang on a minute, there is no definitive proof that ghosts don’t exist, so perhaps they could be real after all.
News Shopper’s archives contain many stories featuring people who claim to have seen or experienced something from the spirit world, but these same articles are also riddled with comments from other people pouring scorn over the alleged sightings or incidents.
Where you stand in this ages-old debate? Are you a believer or a cynic?
Do you think ghosts could exist and if so what form do they take? Have you ever seen one? Do you know of any places in south-east London or north Kent that are haunted?
If you’re a non-believer why do you think paranormal tales are so common? Why are people so sure what they have seen is real if ghosts are just a figment of the imagination? Should it follow that something’s false just because you’ve not seen it?
