For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Let me give you an analogy: For millions of years, animals have had muscles, nerves and brains. These all function due to the passage of electrical signals within the body. Similarly, there's been electricity elsewhere in nature (e.g. thunderstorms) for millions of years. Yet electricity was only 'discovered' about 250 years ago. It seems reasonable to assume, therefore, that there might be other 'forces' which have always been with us but have yet to be formally 'discovered'. It might just be then, that some form of 'photographic record' of past activity can become embedded in, say, buildings. So, just possibly, a few sitings of 'ghosts' might be due to these 'images' becoming visible. All of this is, I accept, unlikely but, since I've got a scientific background, I don't think that I can completely dismiss the possibility.
What I do feel certain of is that, if such 'ghostly images' do exist, they can't interact with humans (or any other animals) any more than photographs or movies can.

i'll tell you my story.
i am 45. when i was 16 i worked at a 'berni inn'. i was a bit of a dogsbody doing what i was told. one day i was in the cellar sorting bottles. a young girl walked by (white dress but not whispy or floaty...just normal). i said hello and she ignored me. the route she took was a one way route and i was in the way of her returning.
it was normal for children to be wandering because the landlord had children and sometimes they had friends (hide and seek etc).
when i had finished i shouted to her..no reply. so i went to the cellar exit and informed one of the older staff that there was a girl downsatirs and i needed to turn the lights off.
she asked me to describe her...i did. she then switched the light off and said 'congratulations you have seen the ghost'. i have never seen one since. but thats my story!
so, yes is my answer to the question.
I cannot understand why people can put down something for which no proof has been give, or found, one way or another. I and others believe in God, yet no absolutely proof has been given or found, we only have what we have told.
I watch Colin Fry, he certainly make it difficult to disbelieve.
And aliens? Look up at the sky at night, see ALL those stars, are we so vain to think this is the only planet with life. I am 70yrs, and still see things that I never thought I would.
Why do we think we know it all, when every year we are discovering something new. Just wait, it might even happen.
If we want to know about spiritual things, we should go the the book that covers the subject. The Bible. The idea of ghosts depends on the idea that some part of people survives death. The Bible says otherwise.
Ecclesiaste 9; 5,6 '5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.
So no action after death...so no such things as ghosts.
But people do see phenomenon. What are they? They are demons. And the Bible says they DO exist. Matthewq 8 and Luke 8 tell the story of the demons in a man that Jesus ordered out, and into a herd of pigs. And in this encounter, the demons identified Jesus as the Son of God. Having once been in heaven as good angels before they turned bad, they knew the difference between Almighty God and his son. They identified Jesus as the son. They did NOT say he was Almighty God.
