Ghosts

Ghosts as commonly described have no physical substance. Why is it they can walk through walls with ease, yet floors present a barrier? How do they reflect light and make sounds? You know: "OoooOOooohoohhoooooo!"

Perhaps, but there can be no intelligent debate there. Perhaps we need a third forum. I shall call it, "The Wacky Shit but We are Allowed to Present Counterpoint Without Getting Banned" Forum.
OK already, I shall put more thought into the title.

Yeah, part of me felt bad for condemning you to there, as I know how much you and they do not get along.

Many that frequent that forum are kooks.
So many are unmoving in their stance on totally unproven or unprovable things.

All I know is I've seen spirits a few times, and as far as I can tell they were not a hallucination.
BTW, you look like you're being visited by heavenly spirits in your signature pic. Are you sure you haven't been gifted a little divine grace lately?

Have you considered the possibility that they are mental experiences, just like entities on entheogens?

Hate to be mundane, but that 'halo' was caused by a snowflake that melted on the lens.

They are misidentifications and/or imcomplete information garnished with projection.

or how about you can call it a ghost without saying for sure exactly what a ghost actually is. Much like UFOs. UFOs exist with certainty. People see them every day. What they actually are is the question, and that's reflected in the term.

I don't believe in ghosts. I think people are all crazy.

I don't believe in ghosts, but I think I saw one. I don't know how to explain it any other way. I have no way to prove it, and I don't really believe it...it's complicated haha
