People say they have seen figures in their closet. Some say that they believe in the dead that are not so dead. Ghosts are a main part of the cinema horror genre, television, and the theater industry. The evidence is massive with the internet videos, pictures, and novels. Ghosts exist, the countless movies, photos, and books showing ghosts are proof enough. There are multiple true story movies about ghosts and their interaction with the living. Such examples are The //Amityville Horror, the Entity,// or //A Haunting in Connecticut//. There are also documentaries like //Ghost Adventures// and, the popular television show, //Ghost Hunters//. There are countless fiction-based movies about ghosts like //Paranormal Activity// one and two, //Paranormal Entity, and Beetlejuice//. Pictures of ghosts are all over the internet and there is no real way to pick out the fakes from the real. Plenty of people have pictures of what they think are ghosts. There are also plenty of old photographs with white figures, or entities that some say are glares on the lens. Some people are skeptical about the pictures because of the fact that our photo editing has come so far in the past twenty years. There are still people that believe that, almost, all of the pictures of ghosts are one-hundred percent real. There are also more reported cases of non-tampered photos then fakes. There are many books about ghosts and their existence. There are multiple story books about people and the not-so-dead. These authors had to get their ideas from somewhere. They must have had some sort of personal experiences or heard a tale from someone that had such super-natural encounters. There are also plenty of camp-fire stories and legends about ghosts. With all of the fiction and non-fiction ghost stories, there must be some truth to the tales. Ghosts are real, the massive amounts of movies, pictures, and books their existence proving this to be true. Some say that there is no real hard evidence, but the hundreds of armature internet videos say something different. The photos and novels are proof enough. The evidence keeps piling up. So, believe!
