Could Ghosts and such be real? Debate/Theories

[a sleepy kitty]

I used to live in a highly haunted apartment when I was ages 11 through 13. We even used to have old photos from inside the place which showed an eerie black shadow looming around the person or people in the photos, but these photos were probably tossed into the garbage. Back then I also saw a ghost in my room and one time I think I saw one sitting next to me in the TV's reflection while turning off the TV (i was alone too).

I kinda have a theory... Hear me out

My little dumb theory about ghosts is that when you die you have two options, continue you journey beyond the mortal plane wich is tailored by your religion or the thing you believe the most OR continue being here, so you can "finish your pending stuff"

Idk, it seems probable to me, there's has been cases of murder that haven't left "haunted" the place, but other ones surely afirm that some places got haunted after something awful happened... why sometimes happens and sometimes don't?

Also in my little theory exists the fact that ghosts are not in the mortal world, they are in other place, and only the stronger ones are able of doing something that reflects over here. Something like the movie interstellar, were you couldn't move in space but you could in time and the actions of the protagonist were represented as a ghost in the start of the movie. Or maybe they're actually here with us, but they just can't interact, or they require to do a huge effort that could make them feel weak or ill for doing such a thing

But hey, that's just a theory... A Ghostly Theory!

An interesting theory! And a wonderful MatPat reference at the end!

I do know a few things about ghosts, and how there are different types of them. So perhaps based on what they want to do while trying to finish what they could not while alive would dictate what kind of ghost they'd become!

Sure it is! X'D

I was thinking that, depending on your religion, all your destiny beyond the astral plane is different, so everybody has a different destiny after death, and maybe some people that follow the reencarnation one could technically come back to live, but if they continue to believe on this religion life after life, they soul could become stronger or weaker and have a bigger or smaller impact on what they can do on the mortal realm, from appearing on a picture from making a whole fridge go away flying

It's hard to say if such creatures like ghosts, phantoms or any other similar creatures exists or not, since we know that science have bad habit to deny existence of anything that it can't explain. They can and cannot be real at the same time.

Someone will say that ghost and phantoms are spirits of dead persons or something like that. And someone will say that they are abnormal life forms made of energy that can shapeshift. Which theory is thruth is hard to say. It depends on what you believe in, since... who said that only one theory is truth?

Yeah, I believe we call anything science can't explain supernatural until proven otherwise. I wonder what all those scientists are up to right now?

I've never had a paranormal experience, not a true one. I mean, I have those moments when I *think* I saw someone out of the corner of my eye, or *think* I heard something when I'm home alone. I think that's just a case of the brain wigging out.
Superstition is a powerful drug, and often the threat of "ghosts" is what keeps people under control. Many times, it's just something in the natural world that people haven't figured out yet.
Doesn't mean I don't think it's a possibility that hauntings do exist, especially in places where there has been a lot of death or trauma. I hear about places that just have a "weird energy" to them. Abandoned prisons or asylums or battlefields tend to get reputations for that sort of thing.
Ghost hunter shows, on tv or YouTube, really aren't convincing. Most of the time it's just a bunch of whispering and sniffling and jump-scares when they think they hear a sound. It makes for good entertainment, but it doesn't prove anything about the existence of actual ghosts. I think a lot of their "proof" comes more from their desire to believe in ghosts. Every speck of dust caught in a light beam is an "orb" to them.

As it was said earlier in the thread, pretty much everyone has a camera with them all the time now. There are security cameras inside and outside many homes, along with game cameras outside. None have really captured any more evidence of ghosts or cryptids.
