Whoopi Goldberg Is Keeping Mum

In response to: Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever had an out-of-body experience or felt an otherworldly presence you couldn't deny?

Yes, yes, yes! But they don’t like me to talk about it. I do one movie and now I can’t get rid of them.

You lucky lady Sandbee. Neil is my all time favorite. He’s been my favorite since day one all those years ago when his hair was long and wild. I’ve seen him 3 times. He still has it.

It was a great show Vicki and then to top it all off, he donated all of the money taken in at the merchandise stands, C.D.’s, t-shirts, jackets everthing to the Hurricane Ike relief fund, a big thing here, plus he personally matched that amount. A great guy as well as a great performer!!!

You are not alone Whoopi! You call them ghost, I call them spirits. They do exist. For me, I (I know a lot of people don’t believe as I do) but I had to go to God to get rid of them! One time he pinned me down and repeated my prayers. Spirits are real and I thank my God that he heard my prayer and got rid of them.

I don’t believe in God or ghosts yet I’m always asking deceased people for help. Also raised Catholic so probably just a bad habit.

I beleive there are spirits, souls drifting in and out..maybe past lives trying to tell us something. YES THAT’S right I beleive it,I’ve been around them. they seem to gravitate to me…in my dreams and I feel their presence. I’ve had numerous experiences..I’m so used to it now it doesn’t bother me any more. It used to when I was a kid…not any more. Yes There is something else out there and the veil is getting thinner and thinner…that’s why more and more people can feel their presence….especially people who have past who you loved deeply…have to come around to visit…maybe just a few times…but they do it! I had a Chow Chow named LILLY…a Love of a Dog…everyone loved her…a personality…not like a dog…she past 2 years a go. I now have 4 terriers…teeny little weenies.I swore I’d never get another dog! ha . I recently took some pictures of them in front of the fir place and in back of them…there is her outline…of her ears and body…we’ve felt her presence in our house numerous times…and the dogs…they’re MUCH MORE SENSITIVE than humans…they see spirits easier than us. I could go on and on..I’ve seen plenty…my whole family beleives because of me…I’ve just come to live with it. If I have a dream about a dead person telling me something…I Listen ans remember cause they want me to relay that message! I don’t like talking about it with strangers…because they think you’re crazy…personally I don’y give a crap! Everyone has their own oppinion…and their right to it…..But YES there are spirits…and soon you’ll be one…hopefully later than sooner…and I’ll see you there!…BUBBYE

I love that answer and remember you in Ghost, Whoopi, although I prefer the Color Purple’s line “I’s still alive”. Best line ever delivered for those who’ve faced…ahem… adversity. Anyway, I believe in the supernatural, but haven’t ever seen a ghost. Y’all have a great day - I gotta watch the View.

Never a out of body experience. However, I do feel my mom visits often. I have a music box of hers and sometimes it just plays. No one is near it or touches it, it just plays. My dogs look up at the music box and tilt their heads. That’s when I know she is checking up on me.

There are no ghosts, no spirits. Nothing supernatural. Some things can’t be explained as much of science cannot. I have relatives deceased I’d like to speak with, but I can’t. Kryssi K said I have a passionate certainty that there is a God. When I was young, everybody in church on Sunday believed in God. Its called faith. She also said I’m narrow minded. Why, because I don’t believe there are ghosts? As for people in DC, don’t expect help from them. Kryssi K, cool it with the big words, I know you want to make yourself look a bit more prominent, but we’re regular folks.

No. I would never accuse someone of being narrow-minded solely because they don’t believe in something they personally haven’t experienced; THAT would make me a narrow-minded hypocrite. What I was referring to was the arrogant attitude you used to basically lecture others that their own experiences DIDN’T OCCUR (and could not possibly have, you assured them) simply because your faith and/or religion prevents you from wanting it to be true. I’m as regular as anyone else - none of the words I used weren’t words I learned in high school English and literature classes. I prefer using slightly longer words that get the job done quicker rather than type out dumbed down run-on sentences. But I see now why you had to change the topic to something so…well, here I go again with the “big” words but I swear it’s the only one that works…fallacious. ;-P

Hey Kryssi: I’m sorry you don’t approve of others direct opinion. Let me assure you, there are no ghosts, spirits, or anything else supernatural. No UFO’s, no devils sitting on peoples shoulders. You being the crusader I’ve needed all these years, I now realize what own my religion/faith prevents me from believing. Thank you. Did you reach this conclusion on your own? As for being regular, you believe you’re above most people, don’t you? Do you find yourself talking about people a lot? I betcha do. There are actually two words that work for you…casual and indiscriminate. When you called me fallacious, did you really mean to say felatio, phallus,or both?

Wow, just keep on talkin’ there. Continue to completely evade my original point…which leads me into this: how ironic that someone who is over-assured in invalidating other people’s life experiences is accusing ME of thinking I am above everyone else!

What life experiences? What original point? If you want to have a serious debate ot conversation fine… you drew first blood by calling me fallacious. I’m not over-assured about the fact ghosts don’t exsist, they don’t. I’m not accusing you of thinking you’re above everybody else, thats my opinion of you. I’m willing to bet my opinion is correct.
