After your first couple of experiences, it's not so frightening.
I'd love to visit some of the most haunted homes in America and do some entheogenic work there. A small dose of mushrooms is a really great way to open yourself up to those other planes of existence.

Acaterpillar said: I see ghosts often. Like every couple of months it happens. Totally out of the blue with no real correlation between events (except once or twice). I've also had ghosts communicate with me. Sometimes it can be a voice, other times it is just a presence which communicates in ideas and concepts.
What bothers me the most is that it doesn't happen to 99% of the population, so I can't relate with anybody about it. I've had crazy experiences while hanging out with friends numerous times, and I always just keep my mouth shut so I don't sound loony.
I don't like the word ghost because it has such a strong connotation tied to it. Who really knows the intricate details of what I'm experiencing 
Never seen a ghost before But seen various kinds of spirits, both good and bad and felt them, they usually transferred thoughts to me or others, in trips (but usually only see the eyes everywhere+messages when that happens, usually messages that help me or help me help others after it)
I think the people you should talk to if you want ghost stories are schizophrenics they see ghosts/spirits all the time often, at least those that I know you're never alone, they say even when you're with them, they say something is watching you kinda creepy sometimes (sometimes they can talk with them)
I do believe in reincarnation though (that the soul is eternal) just don't see any spirits in daily life, only when I smoke/trip but I think spirit communicates in other ways in daily life, lots of weird things happening i.e. have had some weird stuff happen lately, not sure what causes it it seems unrandom, always 3-5 weird things happening each day,sometimes at once often learn from strangers(meet 3-4 strangers at once that say just what I need to hear)... or from nature/animals..
but I realize the soul is equally great in every living creature, animals are pretty clever, just observe
life events are often not very random, and especially not spiritual events everything looks predetermined
edit: also see spirits in lucid dreams often my whole life

Interesting point you bring up about reincarnation. I also believe in reincarnation. But I also believe in the Mahayana concept of a Bardo. I think some spirits get caught in the Bardo for longer than others. "Ghosts" could be spirits existing in the bardo, or they could be spirits that have established an existence in a different plane that still shares some relation with our own.
It's hard to offer any real conjecture on the subject. All I can go off of is the details of my experiences.

I've had a few experiences but I'm having a hard time believing now that I'm older I find myself looking for other possible explanations regardless of how I felt at the time
I don't believe ghosts are the souls of the dead I think of them as left over energy like grooves on a record player
