In today’s society, there is a great deal of debate on whether ghosts exist. Some individuals think that it’s impossible for spirits to appear in front of people, while others think they frequently manifest in people’s lives.
Worldwide, there is a belief that spirits continue to exist after death in other worlds. In fact, among paranormal phenomena, ghosts are among the most frequently accepted. Numerous people are fascinated by ghosts, and thousands peruse the daily ghost stories on Reddit.
People have been attempting to converse with spirits for ages, for instance, upper class ladies in Victorian England had séances, sessions to communicate with spirits, in their parlors. At famous institutions like Cambridge and Oxford, ghost clubs dedicated to looking for paranormal evidence started to emerge, and in 1882 the Society for Psychical Research, the most well-known group, was founded.
Ms. Eleanor Sidgwick was a member of the team as an investigator and later as its president, she is regarded as the first female ghostbuster. Many psychic mediums in America in the late 1800s professed to communicate with the dead.
The fact that a very wide range of phenomena, such as a door closing on its own, missing keys, a chilly spot in a corridor, and visions of a deceased relative, are attributed to ghosts makes it difficult for scientists to evaluate them.
Personal experience and scientific evidence are two different things. There is no single, accepted definition of what a ghost is, which contributes to the challenge of examining spirits. Others contend that ghosts are telepathic beings that are projected into the world from our brains. Some people think that ghosts are the spirits of the deceased that, for whatever reason, become “lost” while travelling to The Other Side.
Ideas regarding ghosts contain a lot of paradoxes. Are ghosts real or not? Either they can slam doors shut and fling things across the room, or they can pass through solid objects without affecting them. It must be either one or the other based on logic and the principles of physics.
If ghosts have human souls, then why do they frequently show up wearing clothing and carrying seemingly soulless objects like hats, canes, and dresses? This is in addition to the numerous stories of ghost trains, cars, and carriages.
FINDING A GHOST
To find the ghosts’ presences, ghost hunters employ a variety of inventive techniques, frequently involving psychics. Most ghost hunters who claim to be scientific appear to be such because they employ high-tech scientific tools like Geiger counters, Electromagnetic Field (EMF) detectors, ion detectors, infrared cameras, and sensitive microphones. Virtually all ghost hunters make this claim.
However, no one has ever demonstrated that any of this technology can genuinely find ghosts. Flames were thought to turn blue in the presence of spirits for millennia. Few people now believe that item of folklore, but it’s likely that many of the signals used as proof by ghost hunters today will be viewed as equally false and out of date in centuries to come.
MAYBE WE ARE NOT CAPABLE ENOUGH
Others contend that because we lack the technology to locate or identify the spirit world, ghosts have not yet been confirmed to exist. However, this can’t also be true, either ghosts exist and manifest in the real world, where they may be seen and captured on camera, on film, on video, and in audio recordings, or they don’t.
We ought to find concrete proof of the existence of ghosts if they are capable of being observed or documented scientifically, but we don’t. If ghosts exist but cannot be observed or captured using scientific methods, then none of the images, recordings, and other media that have been used as proof of ghosts can be true ghosts.
It’s hardly surprising that despite the efforts of thousands of ghost hunters on television and elsewhere for decades, not a single piece of hard evidence of ghosts has been unearthed given the abundance of fundamentally incompatible hypotheses and the paucity of relevant scientific research.
