Are Ghosts Real?
Are ghosts real?

There may be many mixed opinions on how ghosts are real not, some may believe that they sometimes are there, and some may believe that they aren’t there at all. It all depends on the circumstance and evidence. Personally, I believe that they are like God and always watching over us, no matter where they are. There are many shows and movies and countless amount of websites about people who have claimed to have had experiences with ghosts and may have seen them. These are shows and movies such as “A Haunting” on Discovery Channel, and “Paranormal Activity” which was a hit movie last year. These are very entertaining to people who like scary stuff, but are also slightly dramatized for extra entertainment. Many people picture ghosts as the face with long white sheets over them. I picture them to regular people who look normal, but simply just dead. Obviously, because once we die, we can’t come back to Earth and tell people what it’s like, we also can’t prove if ghosts are sitting right in front of us, or not even there. It depends, do you want to believe that when you’re sleeping, a ghost could be right there looking at you, or under your bed, or in your closet? If not, you should take it into consideration. There are also many tools that ghost hunters use to sometimes detect if they are there. One of these tools is called an Electromagnetic Field Detector, also known as an EMF, is the modern day ghost researcher's tracking device. With this instrument it is possible to locate and track energy sources. It will detect fluctuations in electromagnetic fields and low strength moving EMF fields that have no source. It is a common theory that spirits disrupt this field in a way that you can tell a ghost is present by higher than normal readings. Most “proof” that comes from scientists to tell if ghosts are real is from modern technology. Some people may think that ghosts are completely fake and a waste of time, but, if you went back in time and

    To clarify what's out there to be investigated, Southall begins the handbook in earnest by defining the terms, since ghosts, spirits and poltergeists are not interchangeable and represent quite different phenomena.Ghosts and apparitions are a kind a recording on the environment - a residual energy that can come from a person, animal or even an inanimate object. We can experience these lingering energies by sight, sound, smell and touch. Spirits are what people most often think of as "ghosts." A spirit is the "actual sentient presence, or soul, of an individual or individuals who have remained in the material world after his or her physical body has died." Southall continues by describing different types of spirits and the reasons they may have stayed behind.…

    The Bingham Light

    • 560 Words

    My mom and stepdad took my brother and I and some other family members down to the woods one night, as we all wanted to see the infamous Bingham light. It seemed like we walked forever in the woods until we came upon a clearing in the middle of the woods. It was only about a mile though, where we had to stand and shout out John Bingham’s name until the light appeared. As we were shouting out his name, low and behold a light in the distance appeared. It was far off but you could continuously see it moving closer and closer to us. The temperature changed. It didn’t get hotter but cooler. It was very scary to be in the middle of the woods to start off with, then to see this light coming toward us even after we stopped calling his name was terrifying. We didn’t stand around for it to get to close to us. We all started running as fast as we could out of those woods. There was loud screaming coming from all of us. I remember crying and hanging on to my mom for dear life. When we got out of the woods we looked back and the light was gone. We then began to laugh. No one can say if there really is a ghost out there in those woods or if we let our imagination get the best of us. It could even be someone else playing…

Some ethnic groups believe in spirits and they do some religious rituals as a way of getting closer to the souls of the ancestors and satisfying them.

    Have you ever wondered if that shadow just escaping your peripheral sight is part of the paranormal or is it in fact just your imagination? Do ghosts really exist in the reality, or are they a combination of environmental factors and the human mind? 'Ghosts' are one of the most controversial concepts in history as it the paranormal, something that is way beyond the human understanding and in a different dimension. There many different opinions regarding ghosts, specifically the religious and the scientific perceptions. In a religious sense, they are seen as a spirit of a once living person or a demon or evil angels from hell that can take form of different beings. The scientific approach, and the more sensible of the two judgements, suggests that ghosts are merely created in the human brain due to the influence of the chemicals in the particular environment or due to mental disorders.…
