There are ghosts in the world. Do ghosts exist in real life?
Many legends that have come to us since ancient times tell about ghosts, the appearance of which is directly related to the performance of a certain task or some kind of assignment.
Some ghosts return with the aim of doing some kind of retribution, or to expose the perpetrator of the murder.
Other ghosts return in order to correct some mistake or injustice that has been committed in relation to someone living today.
Including ghosts can appear in order to correct their own guilt for any acts committed by him during his lifetime.
There are several varieties of ghosts, namely:
Settled ghosts are, in turn, ghosts that appear in front of different people, but it is always the same ghost that lives in a given place. In such cases, it seems that they are absolutely not interested in people. And what attracts them, in turn, is the place they visit. It is worth noting that these can be ghosts as people or animals.Bringing messengers- in this case, ghosts visit a person with a specific purpose. This kind of ghosts are called the souls of the dead, who return to the world of the living in order to convey some kind of message or warning, usually they appear to the family of the deceased or friends. In such cases, the ghost rarely speaks, mostly he prefers to point to a particular object, or to convey his message through gestures.
Souls of the Living. Strange or not, many reports of ghosts are directly related to the appearance of the souls of living people. An eyewitness at some point sees in front of him the ghost of a relative or friend who is in trouble or is dying. This person himself may be quite far away. These kinds of casts generally only appear once.
returned- these are ghosts that return to our world for various reasons, and they, in turn, can be very diverse. Such ghosts mainly use people to achieve their goals.
Poltergeist. His appearance is quite often blamed for some rather unpleasant antics of supernatural forces, such as cups or saucers flying through the air, etc. Many believe that the poltergeist is caused directly by ghosts, but they behave completely differently than normal ghosts. Objects that move through the poltergeist acquire rather strange properties. They, in turn, can heat up to such an extent that it is simply impossible to touch them. They also have the ability to pass through doors or windows. And the strangest thing is that they can suddenly appear in the air.
Ghosts and countries
The very first evidence of ghosts that has come down to us is contained in the epic of Gilgamash - ancient Babylonian lore that were recorded around 2000 BC. This story is written on clay tablets. It tells about the hero Gilgamesh and about the ghost of his deceased friend, who appeared in the form of a human figure. believed in the existence of ghosts and ancient egyptians. Their ghosts appeared with a bird's head and the violence called khu, which in turn represented the souls of the dead. It was believed that this evil spirits, which spread various kinds of diseases and have the ability to move into animals, instilling rabies in them at the same time.
Although ancient chinese treated the dead with great respect and even organized holidays in their honor, they were very much afraid of the spirits of the killed people, who were directly considered dangerous and vicious. This kind of ghost, according to Chinese belief, appeared in the same clothes that he wore during his lifetime. His appearance was quite impressive. First, a formless cloud arose, from which the head and legs of the ghost subsequently grew. And only after that a body was formed, surrounded by a shimmering green cloud.
Capital Great Britain It has been famous for quite a long time and not without reason as the world center of concentration of various kinds of spirits and ghosts.
Stories from people's lives
Over 70 years Londoners tell a story about how, on the evening of July 13, 1930, 8,000 people gathered in one of the most luxurious concert halls, namely in the most beautiful Royal Albert Hall, a non-ceremonial event that was arranged in honor of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the famous writer and creator of the famous Sherlock Holmes .The hero of the occasion, dressed in a tailcoat, entered the hall shortly before the start of the concert and took a place of honor next to his wife Jean, and remained there until the end of the event.
The most interesting thing is that Sir Arthur died six days before the concert, which in turn was dedicated to his memory.
Lady Jean, the writer's widow, made sure to order admission ticket and a place of honor for the deceased. This woman was known for being a gifted medium, that is, she could communicate with the spirits of the dead and organize visits to the world of the living. Therefore, that is why she knew about the appearance in the concert hall of the phantom of the deceased Sir Arthur. The concert goers, who knew Sir Arthur by sight, perceived his appearance at the Albert Hall with absolute calmness and composure characteristic of the English, as it happened directly in London, where encounters with ghosts are not something supernatural and rare.
In some cases ghosts assisting historians in comparing the facts and restoring a true picture of the past, and the correctness of the prompted details of the ghosts is later proved by the researchers or the documents found. The most striking example in this case is the death of the second wife of the English king Henry VIII, 29-year-old Anne Boleyn, who was executed in 1536 as a result of her accusation of treason to her husband. Previously, historians believed that Anna's execution procedure was common for those times, that is, the victim was laid with her head on the chopping block, and the executioner cut her neck with an ax. But later it turned out that everything was different with Anne Boleyn.
In 1972 was held Tour of the Tower Castle, there was one young girl accompanied by her parents. And while inspecting the place of executions - the Green Tower - before the eyes of the girl arose what happened here almost four and a half centuries ago. Namely: Queen Anne was on her knees, leaning forward a little. The executioner with a sword (not with an ax) in his hand approached her from behind absolutely silently, as he was without shoes, in only stockings. Most likely, he simply took off his boots in advance, so that Anna would not hear how he would approach, and so that mortal horror would not seize her ahead of time. The queen did not even have time to move, as the executioner waved his sword and cut off her head with one blow. After a moment, he took the severed head by the hair and lifted it. The crowd saw the dead face disfigured by a grimace of horror.
The surrounding people took the girl's story with skepticism, since, apart from her, none of the tourists saw the execution scene anymore. But after a couple of months, several historians confirmed that the death of Queen Anne really happened exactly as the girl dreamed. In addition, scientists found that the sentence was carried out by a person known for his rather delicate treatment of the convicts, and he was specially invited from France for this.
It should be noted that frightening and inexplicable incidents outside the walls of the Tower continue to this day. One day, it so happened that a young guard made the most ordinary night round of the castle grounds. At that moment, when he passed by the chapel of St. Peter in the Chains, he had a great desire to look out the window.
The young man put the ladder against the wall, climbed it and looked inside. From what he saw there, he almost fainted.
In the middle of the chapel, a group of historical figures, acquaintances young man according to the portraits that hung in the castle. In front was a young woman with long black hair who looked like Anne Boleyn. Thomas More followed her - statesman and a writer who was accused of treason and executed in 1535. They were followed by the Duchess of Salisbury and Jane Gray, arm in arm with her husband, Lord Dudley. The procession was brought up by several participants in the 1745 riot. These people, beheaded in the Green Tower, made a rather creepy impression with their appearance: each of them had a red bloody streak on their necks, their faces were deathly pale, with a bluish tinge and with eyes burning like coals.
This begs the question why ghosts are most often seen by people in London. One version claims that this is directly due to the fact that in the capital of Great Britain many children are born at midnight. In the circle of mediums, it is quite common to believe that such people can feel and see ghosts, as well as directly communicate with them. But still, this hypothesis does not explain why London ghosts also appear in front of tourists who come from all over the world.
Probably, every Englishman, somewhere deep down, is ready to meet ghosts, although he is unlikely to ever admit it.
Computer scientist from Coventry University, Vic Tandy, also dismissed all these ghost legends as complete nonsense, not worth any attention. One fine evening he was working, when suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat. He quite distinctly felt that someone was looking at him, and this look carries something ominous in itself. After that, something materialized into a shapeless mass, ash-gray, darted around the room and came close to the scientist. In the blurry outlines, one could see the legs, arms, but instead of the head, a fog swirled, in the center of which there was a dark spot, like a mouth. In an instant, the vision vanished into thin air without a trace.
But, despite the fact that the scientist experienced a terrible fear and shock, he began to act like a scientist, that is, to look for the cause of an incomprehensible phenomenon. by the most in a simple way this phenomenon was attributed to hallucinations. But how could they arise, because the scientist did not use alcohol or drugs. As for directly otherworldly forces, the scientist simply simply did not believe in them. And then he decided that it was necessary to look for ordinary physical factors.
And it is worth noting that Tendy found them, although it happened by accident. He was helped to some extent by his hobby - fencing. Some time after the meeting with the ghost, the scientist took his sword home with him in order to put it in order for the upcoming competition. And suddenly, at some point, the blade, clamped in a vise, began to vibrate more and more, as if someone had touched it.
Another person would have thought the same. But this led the scientist to the idea of resonant vibrations, which are somewhat similar to those that cause sound waves. For example, when music is playing very loudly, the dishes in the cupboard begin to rattle. But here in the laboratory, oddly enough, there was complete silence. But the scientist immediately measured the sound background with the help of special equipment. And as it turned out, in fact, there was an unimaginable noise in the room, but it was not audible later, that the sound waves had a rather low frequency that the human ear could not catch. This, in turn, was infrasound. After a short search for the source of the sound, it was found, as it turned out, it was a fan installed in the air conditioner not so long ago. As soon as the scientist turned it off, the "spirit" disappeared and the blade no longer vibrated.
It is worth noting that infrasound is such a thing that carries quite a few surprises. For many years sailors have been tormented by the mystery of " flying dutch c" - ships that wander the seas without a crew. At the same time, the ships were in perfect order, but then where could people have gone? The last of the series of "Flying Dutchmen" was the "Mary Celeste" - an excellent schooner, which was once spotted in the ocean by another ship.
Approaching the schooner, and later landing on it, the sailors from the other ship could not really understand anything: there was still a hot dinner in the galley, the ink with which the captain wrote did not have time to dry in the ship's magazine, and there were no people. All have disappeared. For several decades, this riddle haunted, but then it was finally solved. As it turned out, infrasound with a frequency of seven hertz is to blame for everything, which is directly created by ocean waves under certain conditions. As for a person, this sound causes him simply unimaginable horror. People just go crazy and jump overboard to save themselves.
And the scientist wondered if infrasound was connected with his nightmare. Measurements of the frequency of infrasound in the laboratory showed 18.98 hertz, and this practically corresponds to the frequency at which the human eyeball begins to resonate. Therefore, apparently, the sound waves caused Vik Tendy's eyeballs to vibrate and thus caused an optical illusion, that is, he saw a figure that was not really there.
Subsequent studies have shown that under natural conditions, waves of such a low frequency can occur quite often. For example, infrasound can be produced when strong gusts of wind collide with chimneys or towers. Especially often, sound waves of this type begin to rumble in corridors that are directly shaped like a tunnel. Therefore, it is not at all accidental that quite often people meet with ghosts precisely in such corridors, long and winding corridors of old castles.
Vic Tendy published the results of his work in the journal of the Society for Physical Research. Which was formed in 1822 and brings together British parapsychologists and naturalists, the task of this society is to find a reasonable explanation for paranormal phenomena. Therefore, it should not be surprising that professional "ghost hunters" accepted Tandy's idea with great enthusiasm. Thus, one of the leading parapsychologists, Tony Cornell, believes that this idea will explain many mysterious phenomena.
As for other scientists, they doubt this theory. Physicists who directly investigate the effect of infrasound on the human body note that people who are directly involved in experiments complain of fatigue, strong pressure in the eyes or ears, but as for hallucinations, especially in the form of ghosts, no one has them was not observed. Drivers of a car also do not experience any optical illusion, although it has long been known that when a high-speed car overcomes air resistance, the level of infrasonic waves in the cabin is very high.
How do ghosts appear?
As already mentioned, there are many theories about the appearance of a ghost. As an example, let's cite the theory of Vladimir Vitvitsky, head of the department information technologies Polytechnic Museum in Moscow. This person has been seriously studying optical illusions and deceptions for a long time and he believes that most of the strange visions are explained by simple physical laws. He believes that in this case, it's all about the light. In his opinion, the human eye does not perceive the objects themselves as such, but only the light that is reflected from them.After that, with the help of the retina of the eye, light and at the same time dark spots with halftones are translated into a digital code or, to put it more simply, into electrical impulses, and they, in turn, enter the brain. Then the brain decodes them and, based on the information received, creates an image of the object in the human mind. This is quite a common, standard scheme for constructing what people consider an image. real world. But it is worth noting that it can be violated, this can be done as follows, the light should be reflected not according to the principles to which the human eye and brain are accustomed.
Thus, many tricks of illusionists in the circus are built. The easiest way to do this is with a system of mirrors, which in turn redirect the streams of light reflected from real objects somewhere else, where it is thus produced and appears in front of us.
Nature can do the same tricks. We all know what mirages are - and so this is the most famous phenomenon of this series. Sometimes wanderers see a lake in the desert, or even a whole city, they go to it, but in the end it turns out to be just an optical illusion. As the physicist explains, in fact, a city or a lake really exists, only it is located somewhere very far, beyond the horizon, the distance can even be a thousand kilometers. Naturally, it is simply not realistic to see the city from such a distance.
But the air at different heights has a different density, it directly depends on the distribution of temperature and humidity. Scientists have found that light is reflected from a denser air layer like from a mirror. There can be quite a lot of this type of mirrors at a certain moment, so they take the image of the city away from its real location, and then simply focus it in another place.
But not everything can be explained only by physical properties. Professor of the Moscow Medical Academy. I.M. Sechenov, Doctor of Medical Sciences Yuri Sivolap, said that in some cases illusions arise in the human mind. With all this, from the point of view of psychiatry, supernatural phenomena arise due to two components, namely: the lack of external information and the game of the human imagination. A rather large role in all this is played by the readiness of a person to perceive an object. A person is just waiting for a miracle, and those who wait will almost always see what they want, Yuri Sivolap believes. This phenomenon is quite common in people who have a creative mindset, or in someone who, in turn, is passionate about the study of the paranormal.
It also happens that a person does not want to see something, simply out of fear. In such a state of fear, for example, he will walk through the cemetery at night, and suddenly he will see some figure instead of a cross, which, moreover, will also begin to approach. But a normal person will not be able to see the ghost in detail. For this, in turn, either a great suggestion or illness is necessary, says the professor. In addition, the main difference between hallucinations and illusions is that illusions do not arise from nothing, they appear as a result of an altered vision of another object. But hallucinations are, in turn, the fruit of a sick consciousness.
But to see a person what is not really there can be forced not only by special impressionability. According to Yuri Sivolap, a person was noted to have such states when dreams literally burst into his seemingly waking consciousness. For example, during rather long journeys over long distances, a tired human brain can enter some state bordering on sleep and reality. Thus, a person can see certain objects open eyes, information is fed into the brain, and there the sleep mechanism is already launched in parallel, and the images from there are superimposed on the real world.
On the one hand, it would seem that they have found a clue to the reason for the appearance of ghosts, but on the other hand, there are only a lot of questions that have no answers. But as for the ghosts, they are still found, and not only in the British Isles. Assert unconditionally that this is an optical illusion or really guests from underworld it is forbidden. To believe in the existence of ghosts or to reject this phenomenon is directly the right of every person.
It is difficult to answer the question of whether ghosts exist. Many reject this theory, but more and more evidence to the contrary is emerging.
Who or what are called ghosts
People encounter cases of apparitions of ghosts or ghosts that cannot be explained with scientific point vision. Persons who have seen ghosts begin to believe in:
- mysticism;
- ghosts;
- otherworldly forces;
- the existence of spirits.
Others remain skeptical and believe that this is just a figment of fantasy and computer graphics.
A ghost or ghost is the lost soul of a person who could not find his place in another world. Parapsychologists believe that ghosts remain because of unfulfilled debt, unfinished business, or because the person was not yet ready for death.
Some people think that ghosts may not even suspect that they no longer live in the present, and years for them are only fractions of a second. It is difficult to explain this in words, but there is a version that a ghost is the last breath of a person, which in our time can last for decades, as if stuck between the edges of reality.
Ghosts and ghosts differ in that the second entity appears only once. She does not pursue and does not appear several times in a row. The term comes from the word "had a dream" - maybe something happened or just a dream. Ghosts can appear for days or even months, but mostly they are tied to a specific place or object and rarely disturb just like that.
- Often spirits come to fix something or bring things to an end.
- Ghosts can appear because of a deep sense of guilt in front of someone, begging for forgiveness.
- If a person died suddenly, his soul may want to say goodbye.
- They can appear close and indicate their place of death, so that they can be mourned and say goodbye to them, after which the spirit finally finds peace.
- May appear completely strangers.
- Essences come during magical rites at deserted crossroads or bridges.
They mostly live near the place of their death or rest. Many ghosts can be found in cemeteries. Not a single photograph has captured human images near the graves. It can also be the scene of car accidents or abandoned buildings.
There was a case of the brutal murder of a mother and her little son, who were later buried in the forest. The case was closed a long time ago and one traveler, traveling through the forest, met the ghost of a woman in patchwork clothes and, as it were, with a cut throat, who tried to tell him something.
The spirit pointed to a small mound, near a birch. Soon the traveler left, but the ghost of a woman began to haunt him, showing images. Until one day he again went there and found the remains, as it turned out later, of those same mother and child. After that, he saw her in last time, she appeared to him already in clean clothes with a small child in her arms. Both smiled, she thanked him and did not appear again.
Varieties of ghosts
There are several categories of ghosts:
- Tied to a specific location. They can be tied to the house where they lived before, to the place of their death, to things that could be passed down from generation to generation. Such are the people who have not been able to find their place in life. You can even feel sorry for them, they are eternal wanderers who are looking for their life path and himself, even after death. In fact, they do no harm.
- With a special message. These ghosts appear only once and for a specific purpose. They can come in a dream and point to something, give a sign or signal. This is the soul that protects you all the time. Often people are faced with a situation where a fire starts in the house, and they dozed off, and suddenly, something suddenly wakes them up, like a whisper or a breath. There were cases when the relatives of the missing person despaired of finding him, the ghost of the missing person appeared and pointed to the place of his death. Such spirits can be harbingers of illness and trouble.
- Ghosts of living people. When a person gets into trouble, his ghost may come to another with a plea for help. It can come in a dream or as a bad premonition. Such spirits come not only to relatives and friends, but even to complete strangers. There was a case when one woman dreamed of a young guy who got into a car accident, he asked her to help him and showed her the scene. When she woke up, she immediately called an ambulance, indicating the very coordinates, and went there herself. The young man was saved.
- Ghosts of people who returned from the other world. They can use the human body as a vessel to achieve certain goals. They may act out of good or bad motives. Such ghosts are called by black magicians and sorcerers to bring trouble.
- Poltergeist. A number of strange events taking place in the house: strange whispers or sounds, rustles, squeaks, wiring problems, spontaneous turning on / off of the TV, flashing lights can cause a lot of psychological trouble, do not cause physical harm. Such ghosts are engaged only in pranks and disappear if left unattended.
What evidence is there for the existence of spirits?
There are many secrets and mysteries in the world for which there is no explanation. This also applies to the paranormal, the existence of ghosts and ghosts. To date, there are many eyewitnesses who have repeatedly met with such unusual phenomena, whether it be a ghost lost in the night or a poltergeist raging in the house:
- A sharp jump in temperature can indicate the presence of a ghost nearby: people who are next to a ghost can suddenly become shivering cold: the more active the ghost, the lower the air temperature.
- Over the years, ghosts have increasingly been discovered in random photographs. In 1945, in England, there was a big fire that journalists filmed for the news. In one frame, the ghost of a girl was seen, whose clothes looked more like the fashion of the 1670s. According to old records, it was found that the house where the girl died was already on fire at this place. Many consider this to be a fake, others have tried to explain it as a result of double exposure, but this picture has excited the public.
There are known cases of the phenomenon of ghosts of living people, a couple of hours before their death:
- The situation with a soldier who went to war and with his family. At 9 pm, the soldier appeared in his sister's room, talked to her, said that he wished her all the best, after which he kissed her and disappeared. A few days later, his family learned that at 9 o'clock, that very day, he had been killed in action.
- A young married couple had a case when the wife dreamed of her father, who told her not to worry, and that he had died. The frightened wife woke her husband up and told him about her dream, to which her husband did not believe her. They called her father, where her mother said that her father had passed away a few minutes ago.
- There is also a case of self-sacrifice. During the war, young children were sent to an abandoned barn that was hidden away. There was an agreement that one woman would come to them once a day to feed them. After 2 months, she disappeared for 3 days, but then she continued to walk, all this time she was taciturn, brought food and immediately left. This went on for several more months, after which they were found by soldiers who were at a loss to find the children alive. They told them that the whole village, incl. and this woman was killed.
Some ghosts came from a sense of unfulfilled duty. For example, when two friends before parting promised each other one day to meet again. The promise is suddenly fulfilled, after which one of them leaves the other under a certain pretext, and the next day a person receives a letter about the death of that friend a few days before the meeting.
What to do if you meet a ghost
The fact that ghosts exist, there are many records of eyewitnesses. Their existence has not been scientifically proven, and almost every person at least once, but doubted that these were just fiction. It is impossible to explain the fact that the presence of otherworldly energy causes temperature and voltage surges.
Experts believe that the phenomenon of the otherworldly is not just a soul that has not found peace. There is a theory that due to a strong feeling of love and affection for loved ones, after the death of a person, part of his consciousness takes on a different shell that protects his family and, after fulfilling his duty, leaves this world forever.
Ghosts should not be afraid, they are to warn or tell the news. They cannot harm you, and on the contrary, they will often try to help.
If a ghost appears to you, do not ignore it, but try to listen to it, try to understand what is keeping it here. Perhaps this is how you prevent something bad or free an unfortunate soul who has long dreamed of finding peace.
If you believe in ghosts, then you can be sure that you are not alone. In many cultures, there are stories about ghosts, about spirits, which are people going to the afterlife. Ghosts are the most common of modern paranormal phenomena. Millions of people are interested in these mythical and mysterious creatures, polls show that 37 percent of people believe in the existence of haunted houses, and almost half - in the existence of the ghosts themselves as such. There are even real ghost hunters who are looking for evidence of the existence of spirits. But what does science say about this?
Ghost Popularity
Ghosts have been a popular subject of discussion for centuries, appearing in everything from the Bible to Macbeth, and even spawning their own genre of ghost stories. One of the reasons is the fact that ghosts are more than just the fantasy of a couple of hundred people. This is part of the paranormal beliefs of people associated with life after death, with spirits and so on. People have tried to communicate with spirits at all times - even in Victorian England there was a fashion for communication sessions with spirits, and every decent lady had to arrange such a session at least occasionally. By the end of the nineteenth century, there were an incredible number of people in America who claimed to be able to communicate with the dead and made money in this way. But soon they were exposed and denounced by skeptics like Harry Houdini.
Modern popularization
In the last decade, ghosts have attracted special attention due to the fact that they began to be popularized on television. Now you can find a lot of TV shows that tell about ghost hunters, people talking with spirits and so on. But the very idea that dead people can remain in this world in the form of ghosts is rooted in ancient times. Even then, people believed that the undead dead could return to this world in the form of ghosts to wander the earth and scare people until their remains were buried. the right way. Now people believe in ghosts largely because they themselves experienced something paranormal, felt something or realized that someone was watching them.
Science and ghosts
Personal experience is, of course, good, but scientific evidence is a completely different thing. And as of today, scientific evidence does not exist. And how can they be, if people can’t even decide who ghosts are. Someone claims that these are the spirits of the dead who did not reach the other world and returned to this one, and someone claims that ghosts are projections of the human mind into the real world. There are those people who create separate categories of ghosts, for example, poltergeists, ghosts of houses, intellectual spirits, shadows of people and much more. It looks like a discussion of different races of fairies or dragons - highly unrealistic. There are also many other controversies regarding ghosts. For example, are spirits material or not? Can they interact with people and things in the real world? Or can they move through objects? If ghosts are the souls of people, then why do they appear in clothes? And what in this case is a ghost ship or a ghost train?
Lack of logic
If ghosts are the souls of unavenged people, then why don't they come to the police themselves and identify the killer? All this raises a lot of questions to which no one can give clear answers. It is also worth noting that all ghost hunters commonly use various scientific devices, such as a Geiger counter, an electromagnetic field detector, ion detectors, infrared cameras, and special sensitive microphones. However, none of these devices have been tested in real-world conditions, and have never been proven to be capable of detecting ghosts. There is also a theory that ghosts exist, but people just don't have the right technology to look into the world where the haunted lives. However, there are also contradictions here. Either ghosts exist, they are located in our world, so you can capture them with the help of special devices, or they exist in another world, and then any evidence of their existence that is available today is fake.
Why do people believe?
Many people believe in ghosts based, for example, on very real scientific exercises. There are people who are guided by the teachings of Einstein, who said that energy cannot disappear - it can only change. In that case, where does the energy of the human body go after death? If you think that this is a reasonable assumption, then it means that you do not understand even elementary physics. The answer is extremely simple and banal: after death, a person's energy goes into the environment in the form of heat, and it is also eaten by other creatures, whether they are predators or grave worms. As you can see, there is no mystery or riddle.
Results
So far, there is no scientific evidence that ghosts actually exist. And if they do exist, they simply represent some unknown form of energy, then scientists will find out sooner or later. But at the moment, the evidence for their existence is no different from those that were ten, a hundred and even a thousand years ago. Therefore, do not try to prove the existence of ghosts - it is better to spend time with friends for scary stories about sinister ghosts.
No child questions the existence of ghosts. But with age, people stop believing in otherworldly phenomena. The denial of the existence of another world continues until a person encounters something unusual and unknown. And it makes him wonder if ghosts exist or not.
The nature of the phenomenon
There is no effect without a cause. If a person has encountered a ghost, there must also be some logical explanation for this. And it will depend on the general views on the world.
- Skeptics. People who deny the existence of otherworldly phenomena consider ghosts to be an ordinary hallucination. Vision does not have to be caused by illness. Hallucinations occasionally occur in a healthy person. If a ghost was seen in a photograph, skeptics claim that this is nothing more than a film defect. With the advent of graphic editors, it has become even easier to depict a luminous silhouette in a picture. The suspicious creatures in the photo are just a fake. The skeptic also believes that a lack of education makes people see the unusual in quite understandable phenomena.
- Scientists. Not always the words "skeptic" and "scientist" can be considered synonymous. Some highly educated people take ghosts and ghosts seriously, study nature this phenomenon. However, scientists have not yet been able to establish the exact cause of visions. According to one version, people see creatures from another dimension. Probably, these creatures also see us and consider us ghosts. According to some scientists, aliens from distant planets can be ghosts.
- Mystics. These include psychics, magicians, parapsychologists, believers or simply superstitious, prone to mysticism. These people do not question whether ghosts exist or not. Visions, from the point of view of mystics, are explained simply: we observe the souls of the dead, beings from the higher (angels) and lower (demons) worlds. At the same time, each representative of this category will answer the question of how to relate to incorporeal creatures in his own way. The opinion will depend on religion or belonging to any mystical movement.
Of course, visions cannot be explained only by morbid imagination, excessive religiosity, or lack of education. Official science recognizes that psychic energy is indestructible. Knowing this, we can assume that after the death of a person there remains a certain energy structure, which religious people call the soul.
Encounters with the Unknown
Researchers of the other world not only are not afraid of ghosts, but also deliberately seek to meet them. To do this, they go to anomalous zones. It may be an old building, such as a castle. Built centuries ago, stone fortresses often keep terrible secrets. The walls of the castles remember the inhuman tortures and executions to which the feudal lords subjected prisoners, servants, or even their own relatives.
The Swedish castle of Haringe, built in the 11th century, is haunted by the ghost of a little boy. Axel Horn (that was the name of the child) froze under the walls of the building. According to legend, his aunt left the boy to freeze on the street. Today, the castle houses a hotel. One of Haringe's guests assures that, having woken up at night, she noticed a figure of a boy near her bed, whom she mistook for her nephew. The woman invited him to lie down next to him and was very surprised to feel an unnaturally cold body near her.
