    • 3 Pages

    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…

    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.…
