So the figure dressed in a blue shortsleeve shirt with dark hair that walked by a window but when I went inside the house right away to check who it was but found no one in the house, is just my imagination or swamp gas?

I don't know man. I know what I saw and there was no one inside the house (it was mid afternoon). Even after I went in and found no one, I looked out towards the open ground in the back and nobody(backdoor was locked).
This is the same house where both of my dogs absolutely refused to go upstairs(they sat at the foot of them and looked up to the top constantly) several years before.
That house had something in it.

What have ghosts got to do with religion?
I believe in ghosts, but I don't believe ghosts are dead people.

It's something I've noticed, as well. Even here in "real life" - and mind you, this is from my own observations - despite a little bit of research, I have not found a whole lot to back this up.
I've noticed religious people are more apt to believe in ghosts than those who do not believe in any gods. Granted, depending on the person, their definition of what a ghost is (a spirit, demon, time playbacks, dead relatives visiting us, etc) and what its objectives are (one last visit, unresolved issues, pure evil, fool good people into wandering off the path, etc) can change dramatically - yet the belief remains.
Why?
To be blunt, it comes down to not only intelligence, but gullibility. Those who believe that the loose and very poor translated stories of a group of wandering tribes are the words of some great being that created everything - and is constantly pissed that things are not working out the way it wants - are also apt to believe loved ones will forgo their trips to paradise or eternal damnation so they can pop on in here and say "hello".
Meanwhile, I've never had a conversation discussing relativity, singularities, dinosaurs nor global warming interrupted with "Hey, by the way, my dead aunt came by last night. I couldn't see her clearly or anything, but I felt her brush my shoulder just when I was about to go to sleep."
Ah! "Just about to go to sleep!" I see this a lot (along with the "didn't see it clearly, therefor it has to be a ghost" argument).
This is where, once again, Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World comes into play. In this book, he points out that many ghost/spiritual/Jesus visits/alien visitations happen when the person is either at that moment between being partially awake and being asleep, or when the person IS asleep.
Quite a few things happen to me when I am at that moment of time. Quite a bit, I get a feeling of falling (this is simply because my body is becoming extremely relaxed, and my still quite active subconscious mind is telling me "Oh...the body is completely relaxed...we MUST be falling), very rarely a feeling of being suffocated (a form of sleep paralysis), hear voices (sometimes, it will simply be a voice outside, other times it will be my subconsciousness beginning it's dream state), and, yes, ghostly visitations. However, my mind is also complete enough to understand that these are not actual ghost visitations, but simply my subconsciousness beginning to tell a tale.
Ghosts, angels, devil, God, demons. All the same to me. I need proof.

Before I moved to New Orleans in 1987 I did not beleive in ghosts. New Orleans is considered by paranormal experts to be the most haunted city in North America.
People have picnic's in Cemetarys in N.O. A highly Catholic population and a history of depravity dating back to it's founding form an unusal "Les bon ton rule'" (let the good times roll) mentality.
Add the infulance of Vodoo (spirit belief) from a large Haitian Migration in the early 1800's. And the fact that prior to the Civil War N.O. was the the largest slave importation port in the USA and you have a recipe for the macabe.
I started Work in a Hotel on Bourbon St. in 1989. Prior to it being a hotel it had been "The Old Opera House" A horrific fire in 1919 burned the Opera house down with a large loss of life.
I was warned by long time staff about 2 ghosts who inhabited the property. I scoffed.
Ghost #1 was a female black servant. She gave no trouble to women of any color but to white men...She would appear as a "clasic" ghost. Translucent,showing a horrible looking burned face, and giving off a horrible smell. I saw her twice on my late night rounds, always in the same location.
ghost #2 was a black manservant. Men had no trouble with him but to white women he would approach from behind and clasp them on the shoulder, laugh, and vanish. He inhabited a stoarage room and no female's were sent to retrieve items there.
It was rumored that both ghosts had escaped the fire but were ordered back in to retrieve belongings for their employers and had perished in the blaze.
I felt the presence of them,both, multiple times durring my rounds. They do exist and as the cowardly lion said in "The Wizard of OZ" ...." I do,I do, I do belive in spooks"
