Afterlife

Do you believe in ghosts? I'm not certain that I believe in ghosts. I want to believe in ghosts, however so that's always been a kind of interesting thing for me - and it's one of the reasons why I'm interested in writing supernatural stories.

One of the reasons I think people have so much affection for ghost stories and for things with demons in them is that if you can believe, just for an instant, that demons are real and that ghosts are real, that there are spirits, then it means that you believe in an afterlife. You believe that you're not done when you leave here, so I'd like to believe in ghosts.

Most of the time I think I do, although I've never seen one. I'm not sure that we can see them, but I don't think that necessarily means they aren't there.
