I've had many ghost experiences but I am not afraid of ghosts. I've even captured voices on recordings when no one's been at home. I do these things out of pure curiosity.
Ghosts are humans who have passed on but gotten stuck or chosen to stay here. They may be confused, sad and some may even be angry but they are too weak to hurt us even if they wanted to. They have no power here because they're dead, they no longer have their physical bodies so at best they can push an item off the table but that takes a huge amount of energy and they'll need to rest after that. That is like if us humans succeed with moving an object with only our minds - something I believe is fully possible considering we only use a tiny amount of our brains but it would be very difficult.
Movies make everything 100 times scarier because otherwise no one would watch them. It's like with "reality tv shows" in which they always give the participants scripts and have them stage arguments and full blown fights or sad, dramatic moments for the sake of viewers.

I believe that in reality ghosts are pretty harmless too, even ones that were bad people when they were alive.
Also could it be possible that there is no such thing as a heaven or hell and that we all simply become ghosts when we die?
Or maybe we have to be ghosts until the day that the world ends? Isn't that kind of like how purgatory works? Forgive me if I'm wrong I'm not Catholic so I might not fully understand how purgatory is supposed to work.

At least they changed their attitude about that in the later seasons.
On one hand, they seemed to get a lot better evidence when they went around provoking spirits...but on the other hand, they probably don't really enjoy getting attacked, attached-to, and possessed all the time =)
Possessed? Yeah right.

Ok what's the craziest thing you ever did?
I once ran away from home and walked 15 miles into another town in the middle of the night, went into somebody else's house while they weren't home, and took a nap on their bed. They came home and saw me and threatened to shoot me but called the cops on me instead.
I really was not thinking clearly that night.

joined the army, #1 on my list of things never to do. that I never got chaptered out was miraculous. that they took me in the first place [a list of waivers longer than my arm] more so. that I passed basic training while others much more "with it" no-go'ed out was a sign that I was supposed to be there for some strange reason. that may not sound crazy to you but to me it was sheer insanity and crazy off the deep end considering it was something I never thought would happen to me. I was homeless at that point. anyways, a crazy thing I did was in my skivvies, I led a group of other GIs [also near-naked] at night, climbed up the engineering ladder on the side of the 5-story hospital I was stationed at, entered a miraculously unlocked engineering access door, all of us walked in the dark through an interstitial space, crawled out through a small door and into the operating room where one of my co-workers bust out laughing when he saw us all in there in our skivvies. then we wandered behind the OOD [officer of the day]'s desk, he didn't notice us, thank god- then out the back of the hospital to one of the co-worker's barracks, I did this so he [it was his last day there as he had PCS to another post the next day] wouldn't be alone.

That really doesn't sound so crazy to me. If I was homeless too I might even do the same thing and I probably hate war and military lifestyle just as much as you do.
