i dont believe~Sorry!!!!!! ZNZ, get on ur jellybeam thread!!!!!!!!!! its dying!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ima is getting followers AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it was a girl wearing a dress.

I don't not believe in things just because I haven't seen them, and there's no need to yell. I don't believe in certain things because there isn't enough reason for me to believe in them. If the reason I didn't believe in ghosts was that I hadn't seen them, then, logically, there would be many other things I wouldn't believe, including God, angels, demons, George Washington (there isn't any proof that he wasn't invented by a conspiracy of historians who for some unknown reason wanted to fool us into believing in a history that never happened), Russia (all the pictures could have been taken of a different place, and all the books, movies, etc about it could be lying), my grandmother (she could have been a saved my mother's life, and had my family lie to me about her identity as a favor in return)... Do you get the point? And I do believe in those things I just listed (erm, besides what's in parentheses).

But why should I believe in ghosts? Maybe you thought you saw a ghost, but it could have been anything! In my opinion, there just isn't enough evidence.

As for fairies, that's an entirely different idea, and my opinion on that is quite complicated. I don't think I'd have time to explain why I believe what I believe, unless you really want a long, possibly boring rant, so I'll just say what I believe.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Every blade of grass has its angel standing over it, whispering, 'Grow, grow, grow.'?" (I know that's improper grammar, but otherwise, it would look like the angel was asking the question). Well, I believe something like that. I'm Christian, but unlike most people I know, I believe that every living being has its own guardian angel, including plants. And maybe, if a guardian angel shows itself, it appears with the wings of a creature that is beneficial to what it guards, to represent the effect it (I'm starting to feel kind of bad about using the word 'it' to describe angels, but I don't know what else to say) has on what or who it guards. It was a dove that let Noah know when it was time to leave the Ark, so perhaps that could be why angels as we know them are so often portrayed with dovelike wings. Butterflies help pollinate plants, so would it not make sense for a plant's guardian angel to appear with butterflys' wings? And it would also make sense for the angel to take on the approximate size of what/who it is the guardian of. Perhaps, once, a small flower's guardian angel had to appear to a human, and the human was startled, and a gossip, so it (if 'it' can refer to angels, it certainly can to humans) told everyone made-up stories about these tiny humans with butterflies' wings, and gave them a name: Fairies. Or something like that. So, in a way, fairies would exist, but not in the sense people recognize. I'm just guessing and speculating about the butterfly/dove wings, and the instance of discovery, however. I don't necessarily believe or disbelieve that...

Or if you take, say, a phoenix, what if there was once a bird whose feathers contained a chemical that enabled it to survive being burned? If someone saw a live bird emerging from flames, it would certainly appear as if it rose from the dead, would it not? That was pure speculation. I don't believe that at all. However, it is possible, isn't it?

As for ghosts, however, I just don't believe in them.

Oh, and please don't take offense at my comment. I was just stating my opinion. I'm not trying to make you believe anything, except maybe that you shouldn't yell at people just because they don't believe exactly what you do.

I don't. I think that when you die your spirit either goes to Heaven (Where no one would want to leave! It's perfect! No sorrow, no pain, no hurt!) or hell (And there's no escaping there). I think that we can feel really close to someone who has died, yes, remembering them and their love, but I don't think they're there, physically.

Hmmm. If you're 100% sure you really SAW the thing and it wasn't your imagination... Well screaming at your imagination doesn't really make sense anyway. But it was probaby um...

a.) Well you could ask your dad about the hitting your head thing. You would have had a bump if you'd hit it that hard.

b.) Based on what you've said, sleepwalking seems unlikely. You would probably remember waking up.

c.) When you are about four or five, it is really difficult to discern that kind of thing. My memories from that long ago are very fuzzy and indistinct. Do you remember what the person looked like very well? Or is it blurry and hard to recall?
