So, how do you describe a ghosts?
A foggy apparition?
A disarticulated limb or head?
A cold spot?
Noises?
A 100% normal appearing human that is later discovered
to have died years ago?
Objects moving or breaking, doors opening?
Etc.
Ghost are commonly described as ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Hmm. If an animal was described with such wildly
varying descriptions you'd conclude that people were
seeing different animals. That, more than one animal
was being given the same label...
Why not ghosts? Why suddenly change the rules for
ghosts?
What I'm saying is that for pretty much another other
thing, stepping away from the topic of the supernatural,
the many varied descriptions of ghosts would EXCLUDE a
single phenomenon at play.
Yes, something that appears invisible and passes through
solid matter would be a different phenomena than
something that looks like an ordinary person and interacts
with the world as a real person would.
Two different things. And between them spans a number of
other very different things...
The simpleton approach would be to shout "They don't
exist" and leave it at that. But, that is objectively
false in many cases.
There are noises. People do feel cold spots. There are
EMFs detected. EVPs are recorded. Multiple witnesses do
report the same sighting... on & on.
The experiences are real and in countless cases external
in origins. All I'm saying is that there's more than one
explanation.
More than two explanations.
