Paranormal

I am not even sure if this one is allowed, because it is definitely controversial whether or not it is a real body... but I have always been slightly scared/fascinated with ghosts and paranormal things.  A lot of people would argue that this type of thing isn't even real, and I might even be one of them.  Thinking from the perspective of someone who argues that they are definitely real- a ghost is mostly just a mind/spirit.  They are represented to have a body, but without any normal properties of a human body.  The "spiritual bodies" are known to "take over" and inhabit normal human bodies though, in which case it would be impossible to say that they aren't a real body.
It's really fascinating to think about the concepts we learned about with mind vs body and everything, and try to figure out what is going on when someone becomes "possessed." Is a separate mind and body coming together to form one?
I have never personally experienced anything like this, and it is kind of hard to believe something is real if you have never witnessed it.  I see movies all the time, though, that do a good job of putting paranormal things in the realm of possibility.  It might only add to the fright/fascination not knowing if they are indeed real or not.  I want to say I would lean towards saying they aren't real if someone asked my opinion, but nighttime a graveyard or a big old house would still give me the creeps.
