In horror of Halloween: Who here believes in Ghost/Live or have lived in a haunted house?

2. In horror? Or in honor?

I have never seen a ghost nor lived in a haunted house.

However, I hope that our spirits do survive death. Just fading out, like a candle flame, seems rather wasteful, since it takes so darn long to gain some wisdom.

It makes sense that if our spirits do survive after body death, then some of them might appear to the living. My reading suggests that this sort of thing only happens in a few circumstances: the ghost/spirit has a message for the person(s) it appears to; the ghost is stuck on the Earthplane because either they died violently and may have unfinished business or they died suddenly and are not aware that they are dead; or, the spirit of the person is afraid to pass on to the next world due to either being raised in stern religious beliefs where they fear being judged for their life, or because they actually engaged in wrong-doing and need to make amends in some fashion. Some spirits seem to reappear on the Earthplane without interacting with the living. Such beings are said to be repeating certain actions which were important in their lives, or are still attached to certain locations (like a beloved home).

My understanding is that the dead are not supposed to frighten nor bother the living, so if a spirit tries to do that, we can confront them, the same way we would any intruder.
