Not at all. If a ghost or something materialized in front of me I would be thinking "There has to be a scientific explanation for this.".

I'm not that superstitious. I do believe that there's things around that you can't explain, like other worldly beings. Are they ghosts? Not sure, but I don't doubt that they are all around us.

The vast majority of people in the world are superstitious beyond reason.

Do you know where "knocking on wood" comes from? It's kind of funny.
It is commonly thought that knocking on wood has been a superstitious action to ward off evil throughout history involving Pagan belief systems.Tradition has it that little evil people, or sometimes spirits, lived in the trees and were angry when they were cut down and made into furniture. If the spirit heard you make a comment such as " I hope it doesn't rain", they would make it happen out of revenge. Knocking on wood let the spirits know you were aware of them and was a threat not to interfere.

If the salt is spilled I throw some over my left shoulder, I am afraid to break mirrors, I wish on 11:11, I do knock on wood when I say it but evidently it does the opposite, and I believe in Karma.

I believe if you put good into the universe you will get good back, same as if you do bad things, you will get bad things back.

I believe in spirits.  However I do not think they are bad.  Although I'm sure some are just as people can be both good and bad.  I believe they are always around us, however they may not always be aware of us just as we are not always aware of them.  I believe they are people who have passed on as well as people who have not yet come.  I have met several spirits and I knew who all of them were.  Most were family, one was my daughter before she was born one was my grandpa who died when my mother was young.  There have been others but I think these people are sent to us to help us.  Life doesn't end when we die nor does it begin when we are born.  If it did how would I know it was my grandpa, who I have never met in this life...I had to have known him in a previous life.

No, I am not really superstitious but I do believe there is something in this world that is better, bigger, more powerful, soulful,spiritual than mere humans.

It's called nature.

I am not religious, but I believe that GOD, The ONE who was and is the creator of Nature itself. The one who existed before Nature and everything else in this existence. Anyone else agree?
