I have lived in 2 houses that i know are haunted, In both homes many people heard and saw results of what these ghosts did. I actually saw the ghost in my parents home. Why was it only me?

That's what some folks believe (for those who believe in "ghosts"), but I believe this type of paranormal experience can happen to anyone. Most of us just aren't "tuned in" enough.

I don't think everyone has the same abilities. You said you actually SAW it, but did you HEAR it or FEEL it as well? It may be that each individual is able to experience apparitions and spirits through different senses. Some people see them, hear them, feel them, even smell them or just plain old sense that they are there. We recognize the presence of apparitions differently because of what we believe, or which of our senses is most developed to notice these energies. I feel that everyone has the ability, but not to the same degrees as others. And many people choose not to acknowledge their ability or even that such energies exist. So probably the "many people" who "heard and saw results" of what the energies did, were just using the senses that they were able to. You may have a stronger ability that is more developed and sensitive to noticing these spirits. I'd consider it a gift.

It depends on what you saw and under what conditions you saw them. Perhaps there is a natural explaination for everything that happened, and its not ghosts at all.
Sleep paralysis is usually confused for spiritual attacks, rapes, and encounters, as well as alien abductions.
I believe shadowmen, which are spirits which manifest as walking shadows, might be the result of the mind slipping into a similar hypnogogic state while walking around. Possibly brought on by stress or insomnia.

The one conclusion I am pretty sure of is that ghosts are not dead people. They might be some other type of spiritual beings, or they might just be completely manufactured by the mind. But dead people do not come back to haunt the living.

The question you should ask yourself is.Did I really see a ghost?

Never under estimate the power of the mind to filter out what it doesn't want to see. I have trained my self to not look straight at a ghost. I watch them in my peripheral vision area. For some reason they don't get picked up in my center vision. It has something to do with your brain sorting things out in your vision recognition center. Peripheral vision skips that area and goes to your brain. You seem to have developed that type of skill. I have also been able to see ghosts straight on too, but that seems to be the only a stronger type of ghost experience.

Ah, but you have asked the wrong question. You must ask, "Why is it that only certain people can SEE ghosts?"

It has to do with being sensitive to paranormal phenomenon. Some people are, some aren't. I have a daughter who "sees ghosts". My other one doesn't.
Some are just more tuned in than others.
