Honestly? I think there's no such thing. I think it's all psychological and that you can convince yourself of anything if you've heard a strange sound. The brain's a strange thing!

This is actually far more logical as there is no mention of ghosts in any holy scripture of the 3 main religions , also if ghosts used to be living people whats with all the being spooky and installing fear that's not what people do .

I don't think science can explain everything, my mind is open to all kinds of possibilities. As others have said on this thread ghosts could have a spiritual origin, or to look at it in a different way, they could be inter-dimensional beings or entities that we have no understanding of?

Or if we live in a computer simulation like the matrix film, could ghosts be errors in the code, or gremlins in the system a bit like when something goes wrong with your computer?

I have had several.....im from an area in Ireland much like stonehenge in Britain stretching over a hundred square miles an area rich in folklore and tales of kingship battles and human sacrifice. Im not qualified to explain some experiences over the years but many occurred in company so can be verified as not limited to my imagination. A earlier post here queried as to why not ghosts of pigs etc one night while walking dogs down a lane i saw a calf walking away. The dogs chased the calf down around the corner . I ran after them and when i got round the corner the dogs stood in middle of lane confused as to where the calf went. There was no gate or hole in the ditch it simply vanished. Cattle where central to ancient Irish culture and folklore and held in high regard as status symbols. As to this one was definitely not of this realm

I've been a ghost.....

Few friends and I did a 'ghost tour' of eaves wood near silverdale that is allegedly haunted

It was my job to be ahead of or behind the group in some cases setting up little 'happennings'

Various fires, scents, toppling logs, noises and whispers when they passed close to me (i was in a ghilly suit so at points I was almost getting trodden on) etc.....shit them right up, or at least the ones not in the know.

I'm pretty sceptical so had no real issue with being alone in the dark through much of the experience.

Ghosts" was a single by the British band Japan from the 1981 album Tin Drum. It reached number five in the UK Singles Chart in 1982. Although it was their biggest hit, this was not enough to stop the band splitting a few months later.

Bereft of drums, the minimalist track would not be described as a "commercially viable" single in most circumstances. However, Japan's popularity at the time, in addition to the early 1980s fashion for new wave music, allowed the single to become unexpectedly popular. The band performed the song on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1982.[1]

In 2000 David Sylvian re-recorded "Ghosts" using the original Japan backing track and included it on his compilation Everything and Nothing.

Pretty similar here. I believe there is much that we don't know and understand, but don't really consider it likely that humans have anything other than a permanent death, once our brains stop functioning here on earth.

Only people with closed minds do not believe in ghosts.

A scientific study of parallel universes in quantum mechanics has been around since 1957 which offers an explanation of such occurrences.

I'm yet to see an actual ghost, but it doesn't mean that I don't believe in them. I do believe that some of the so-called hauntings can be explained in some way, either as a natural occurrence or some other phenomenon. Some suggest that it maybe some 'recording' into the fabric of the environment that we are yet to understand.

I live in an old cottage which is over 250 years old. There has been the odd occurrence of noises or when I thought someone had walked into a room, or things moving. It doesn't happen continuously and not for a while now. I'm not afraid (we should be more scared of the living!).

" I do think there are things yet to be explained. "

if all have closed minds we would never have advanced in many area's of science, medicine etc..

in a thousand years we may look at many things we don't yet know as the norm..

again, why do some feel the need to deride or scorn others..?

is it insecurity or fear..?

whatever it is and it may be none of the above, is it necessary or is it down to the personality of those doing so..

Saying that a scientific study was conducted in a certain year doesn't really quantify as an explanation. And saying that 'only close minded people do not believe in ghosts' is really biased towards your own viewpoint. I might vehemently believe that gravity is the product of a large invisible turtle, and then insist that i am right. In the same way you cannot provide enough quantifiable data to link this natural occurrence with my outlandish thesis.

Science shouldn't be used to back up opinions of pre-existing notions, we investigate through proper scientific processes and then formulate theories around this research.

I was not offering an explanation but suggesting a source for further investigation if people were interested enough to pursue it.

However instead of writing 'only close minded people do not believe in ghosts' I should have written 'only people with closed minds discount the possibility of ghosts'.

As for your last point such scientific investigations have taken place and theories offered for peer review.

As the years pass more scientist are agreeing with the theory.

There are many types of energy that are proposed by science, but not yet discovered, and probably many types that haven't even been conceived yet. Many forms of energy have only recently been discovered - nuclear energy being one example. It's not altogether impossible that mammals produce an energy field that can remain tangible for a period of time after death (aka spirit, soul, ghost etc).

The problem with saying that 'only people with closed minds discount the possibility of ghosts' consequently implies that to have an open mind I would have to consider the possibility of quite literally anything.

You can't just make up theories and beliefs and then try and find evidence to support your claims. That is bad science, in fact its bad academia. It's how anti-vaccination groups conduct their research, they just ignore all negative data and use the tiny amount of supporting data.

You're arguing well, but I'd much rather you say 'i believe because it is my belief' rather than try and back up your beliefs with a very small amount of data and try and pass it off as scientific proof.

Science shouldn't be used to back up opinions of pre-existing notions, we investigate through proper scientific processes and then formulate theories around this research.

I was not offering an explanation but suggesting a source for further investigation if people were interested enough to pursue it.

However instead of writing 'only close minded people do not believe in ghosts' I should have written 'only people with closed minds discount the possibility of ghosts'.

As for your last point such scientific investigations have taken place and theories offered for peer review.

As the years pass more scientist are agreeing with the theory.

Well quantum theory does allow for some pretty weird stuff and any rational person should remain open-minded about possibilities

We have both had quite a few unexplained experiences over the years. I'm not sure what to believe but I don't have any answers for the things we have felt or witnessed.

On the fence here

Although I find the thought of ghosts improbable, (nothing happened to me - yet), with so much belief in the paranormal, would like to think there could be something ....

May I ask why you hope the human mind transcends death and dwells within a transient state of limbo ?

I see no evidence to suggest it does and I would certainly not wish this state upon myself or indeed anyone ?

"Where are all the dinosaur ghosts? They were around for millions of years, so if there are ghosts, why doesn't anyone see spooky dinosaurs?"

ghosts/spirits dont live forever so theyve long gone .. they dont have spirits anyway

The TV thing is usually a faulty remote, or youve sat on it.

I've never experienced one. Nobody I know has. Nobody has ever provided proof of one.

Lots of anecdotal tales of "funny feelings", " a cold presence", " feeling of dread/love/happiness".

Why should I believe in ghosts, but not banshees, leprachauns, faeries, werewolves,vampires or willo the wisps?

"It's all in the mind"
Well Similar to the post above as there were Two security guards witnessed this, Once On their rounds they were patroling the Top floor of this office block and when Just haveing 5 minutes not sure if it was any longer in one of the offices They heard these foot steps both guards And witnessed the office door open and shut not at the latch but swung open and Shut a few times with some force And Immediately heard these foot steps run down the corridor and saw the fire exit door swing open and all was quite There is no way on earth two men can Imagine that, unless of course they were makeing it up personally speaking From this sighting and other sightings On site over the years I believe it.

"I've experienced things I can't explain..."

Just because you can't explain the experience it doesn't mean it was a supernatural event, to jump to that conclusion rather than looking at things rationally and looking for a logic answer is close minded rather than open minded.

Also, it is against the laws of physics (the second law of thermodynamics) for a perpetual motion machine to exist, so, where does a ghost get it's energy from to exist? Does it eat? Does it have a USB connection?

Sounds like an intruder who didnt expect to come across two security guards.

A picture would go some way to proving something. Its a better starting point than a funny feeling of a "presence" and an icy chill on your neck (close the window).
