I Believe In Ghosts

I believe in ghosts 

I used to not believe 
in ghosts or spirits
or supernatural phenomenon 

at least 
i used to be 
quite skeptical

but I have had
some weird encounters
over the years

so now perhaps
I do believe
that ghosts might be real

I have had supernatural
experiences 
things that defy my understanding 

back in 1992 
My Korean Uncle-in-law died
and the family hired a shaman

did a traditional shaman ritual
the shaman came out
a middle age woman

she started speaking
in my uncle’s voice
and she nailed it

she channeled his spirit
and his abrasive personality
even looked like him 

freaked me and my wife out
had to leave the scene
just too freaky real 

and ever since then
I have become a believer
in ghosts and spirits

they are all around us
some of us can sense them
many of us are blind to them

but I now believe in Ghosts
but I wonder if ghosts
believe in me?
