What would you do if you encountered a ghost (friendly or nonfriendly)? I would like to think that if I encountered an unfriendly ghost I would go all Sam and Dean on it, but if I encountered a friendly ghost I would befriend it. Neither one of them would probably happen. I would probably be too scared and run away and hide.

I'd run screaming, hands in the air like a crazy person.
Just kidding.
Honestly I don't what I would do. I suppose it depends on if you really believe or not.

I don't believe in ghosts, so would be glad to meet one. 8)

I've seen a couple, and have experienced some weird stuff. It's surreal...my husband has had some experiences as well, he's had some ghosts come right up to him at night. It's creepy, he knows he's awake when he opens his eyes only to see a creepy little girl staring back at him. I'm going to use some of his stories in a book I think. ?

I've had some ghost experiences. There was one that was terrifying! The others were nice. I wouldn't say I befriended them, but I coexisted. They were just there.

I'd prolly lose my mind if I came to face to face with one. Put me in a padded room and order me a straightjacket, because I'd be useless.

Unless the unfriendly ghosts were dangerously unfriendly, I would just try to coexist with them. As for friendly ghosts, that could be interesting.

I've never met an unfriendly ghost before, but I think the fact that I can't communicate with them would freak me out a little. Even just coexisting with a friendly ghost would be upsetting, because I can't lay down any ground rules. Like, "No appearing in the mirror when I'm using the bathroom!" and "PLEASE don't stand in the corner and watch while my boyfriend is over!" :lol2:

I have never met a ghost before ;) , so i don't know what will i do if i meet one.
I don't believe in ghosts but if i ever come across a ghost (which is probably going to be never) i will definitely add him to my list of friends. :)
When people say you've changed, it just means that you have stopped living your life, their way.

I've never seen a ghost, thank goodness, but have had weird stuff happen like doors slamming shut in my house when the windows are closed and the a/c is not on. I used to live in Charleston, SC, which is supposedly one of the most haunted cities in the country. I'm counting on the fact that if I never saw one while I lived there, then my chances are good for never experiencing one in the rest of my lifetime.

Because I don't think that I am a believer, I actually welcome the idea of meeting a ghost.

A ghost would certainly prove that we go on after death. There were times I felt my wife's presence, but if that perception was subjective or objective, I'll never know in this life. It felt subjective. I would love to visit the ones I love … not so great the ones who were very troubled in life.

I would probably be in shock and not believe my own eyes. After that I would try to get away, because at first glance it doesn't matter if a ghost is friendly or unfriendly, they would both be terrifying! Also while running away I would probably be praying. :D
