Do Ghosts Exist?
Science tells us that nothing in nature, not even the tiniest particle, can disappear without a trace. Think about that for a moment.
Yes, ghosts exist! But how do we know that ghosts exist? People have been asking, "Do ghosts really exist?" for ages.
Just what are ghosts? How does science explain the phenomenon of ghosts? Why do ghosts appear? And how?
There are a great many books on ghosts. But few books explain the physics of ghosts or say anything on how ghosts interact with the physical world.
Just how do we account scientifically for the phenomenon?
Recent discoveries in quantum physics (the study of the physics of sub-atomic particles) and in cosmology (the branch of astronomy and astrophysics that deals with the universe taken as a whole) shed much light on how mind interacts with the universe. These discoveries compel acceptance of the idea that there is far more than just one universe and that we constantly interact with many of these "hidden" universes.
Unfortunately, most books on quantum cosmology are written in language that an ordinary intelligent person cannot understand.
Moreover, many if not most scientists are in a state of denial of anything supernatural.
They are blind to the paranormal and simply cannot see the obvious logical conclusions of their own discoveries.
What is needed is a source that explains in understandable, non-mathematical terms the relationship between mind and matter––how spirit and mind interact with the physical world.
GHOSTLY FACTS:
Ghosts have no sense of passing time.
Often, they do not know that they are dead.
Sometimes they exist in a state of confusion, perhaps like being stuck in a dream.
Ghosts can smell things and love the smell of lemons.
Ghosts have a sense of humor and love to hear humans laugh.
Sometimes ghosts get bored with their surroundings
Most ghosts are happy, but some still cling to an emotional pain.
They can appear to the living in dreams.
They can leave behind certain scents, such as perfume.
They can make sounds that are audible.
They use their energies and ours to move things.
They are pranksters.
They usually appear as intense balls of light called orbs that are neon blue or violet.
Ghosts favor night due to the decrease in daytime energy use.
Ghosts may appear as mists or vapors.
A hooded black smoky figure is a dark entity and you should be careful around them. They usually appear at the foot of beds.
Some alleged hauntings are actually a "residue," which is a past event that replays itself over and over.
Certain places are portals or vortexes where ghosts transport themselves.
Hauntings are most intense around children entering puberty, as kids this age are emitting immense amounts of energy.
Ghosts can read your thoughts.
Ghosts retain all the memories and emotions of their lives.
Sometimes ghosts are trapped and need to be released. Let them know they can move on.
Noisy, troublesome ghosts are known as poltergeists.
_________________________________________
The belief that human spirits could continue to haunt the living after death goes back to ancient times. We know that many primitive societies' burial customs included rituals to banish the spirits of the departed from the earth. As far back as biblical times, King Saul had the Witch of Endor summon the spirit of dead prophet Samuel for advice. More recently, in the late 19th and early 20th century, the belief that the living could contact the dead through spiritualism and séances tickled the public's fancy. Currently TV shows where "ghost hunters" trek to supposedly haunted locations to find spooks are popular on the cable channels.
What does science have to say about ghosts and their hauntings? Are they real? Or are they just the product of our overactive imaginations?
Souls Not at Rest
Most ghost stories are connected with the idea that spirits are the souls of people who died under difficult circumstances - for example, murder or suicide - and continue to inhabit the earth. Troubled by their death, they haunt the places where they lived and died, unable to move on to the afterlife. One early account of this involves the Greek philosopher Athenodoros Cananites. Athenodoros became interested in a haunted house in Athens and started watching it at night. Late one evening an old man, bound at the feet and hands with rattling chains, appeared to him and beckoned the scholar to follow him. The ghost disappeared suddenly and Athenodoros had the spot where he vanished dug up. A man's shackled bones were found at the location and after a proper re-burial, the haunting ended.
Tales like those of Athenodoros are typical but don't really prove that ghosts exist. For science to confirm anything a phenomenon must be repeatable. Unfortunately ghosts, if they exist, do not seem to keep a regular schedule
and their sporadic appearances make scientific observation nearly impossible. In addition, there is no scientific theory involving physics to explain how ghosts would work.
The Problems of Proving Ghosts
This, however, does not prove that ghosts do not exist.
For many years scientists refused to believe in meteorites because their falling out of the sky was sporadic and not predictable or repeatable. Scientists also viewed the universe as perfect and had no theory to explain how there could be little pieces of extra rock floating around in space.
Of course, meteorites do exist and they now have been observed on many occasions. They also fit in with our current scientific theories. Might we one day be able to prove ghosts exist? Even if we can't do that today, perhaps science can do the next best thing and prove that a location is "haunted."

This is exactly the type of research that Professor Richard Wiseman of the University of Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom has done. Wiseman is known for his investigations on the quirky side of science, delving into such areas as humor, luck and the paranormal.

So, my take on all of that is... Scientists have gotten many a thing wrong, as evident above. Scientists aim and goal is to prove something that is un-explainable or provide something that has not been done before that is beneficial. But, if they can not explain what a ghost is, and they can not, although some "think" they give a plausible at least, explanation but not all agree, then people can not state either, that ghosts which we believe to be lost souls, therefore not of this world, that they don't exist or that Spades dreams and sightings aren't real.
Argue all you want.. Science can not answer what a ghost is.. Therefore, they can not and nor can anyone here, argue my personal experiences, or that of Spades..
