Legendary actor John Hurt has revealed that he believes in ghosts…

“Unless everybody is lying [about seeing ghosts], and I don’t suppose they are. But what makes that phenomenon happen? I don’t think we know. What I don’t like is trying to make it into a personal thing, making it into some connection between the ghost and you specifically. I don’t think the ghost is interested in whoever it may be. I suspect not, but I don’t know. How can I possibly know?”

Hurt was promoting ‘Whistle And I’ll Come To You” a ghost story which was shown on Christmas Eve. He went on to admit that he doesn’t watch many horror movies as he just doesn’t find them believable…

“I don’t see many horror movies that I like because I just don’t believe them. I don’t find them very believable, I find them rather silly. But I am a fan of ghost stories. It goes back to when I was sent away to school in the Forties. If you became a prefect, which misguidedly enough I was, it was a treat on a Sunday night before going to bed, to go in and see the warden who would read ghost stories. He was very good at it, too.”

<<<THOUGHTS>>>

I don’t think you can argue for the existence of ghosts by saying “unless everyone is lying”. That’s a bit too simplistic for me. I truly believe that people “think” they’ve seen ghosts but don’t believe in the actual phenomena.
